'.'T ono dIle8atlOu IN the review OF
the case that warranted the jury in
declaring that Mr.. Murnian was in
competent. Honest men may differ
as to whether or not Mr.. Murnian
properly handled the situation dur
ing the night of the lynching. In
deed, opinion on that phase Of the
question is considerably divided, but
nearly all agree that fearful slaugh-
ter of lives was avoided through the
ccol Judgment of Mr.. Murnian. =.
Had He Been q Hot-Head.
Had he been a hot-head the re-
suits advocated by the grand jury
would have been attained; shots
would have been fired, and no one
knows how many would have been
killed or wounded. The police would
tie worst of it, and the negroes
would have been lynched anyway.
That mob. composed largely of
disciplined ex-service men, was bent
en- its purpose at any cost.
The honesty and sincerity Of the
report is open to question. If Mr..
Murnian just sat around and did
nothing, practically inviting the mob
tc go to it, as the grand jury would
have us believe, it's report would set
better if an indictment for murder
had been brought against him. It,
under such circumstances, could
have been easily held that he was
as guilty as the young men who have
been indicted.
They Know Better.
But the grand jury knew better
than to do that. It would have
given Mr.. Murnian an opportunity
now denied to him of facing his &C.,
cusers, which he did not have before,
that inquisitorial board. Grand
juries rarely hear more than one side
CT a question. Witnesses are exam
against accused persons in secret,
without the accused having a chance;
to examine or explain in their pres-i
ence..
There were discrepancies in state,
ments made by the sheriff and tho
commissioner. According to the re-
port. Sheriff Magic said he ap-'
preached Mr.. Murnian and asked
what he could do to assist, but Mr..
Murnian did not answer him. Mr.
Murnian claims he did not see the
sheriff except at distance II both
officials were present together be-
fore the grand jury when questioned!
on this point their statements might
easily have been reconciled.
=" Mr.. Murnian first heard of the at
tack on the Jail at about 1880 in
the evening, when Sergeant Olson
called him by telephone. His first
orders were to "call in all available
police: call out the fire department
and notify the sheriff." Now the
grand jury makes no mention Of this
fact and passes it over by merely
stating: "Abol1t some time during
rhe above attacks, the sheriff, who
had been notified Of conditions, @ap-
peared with two or three deputies
So desirous were Mr.. Murnian's
enemies of proving his "incompet-
ency that they would not even, give
him credit for notifying the sheriff
The language Of the report would
lead the reader to believe that the
sheriff only heard Of the attack on
the jail by accident.
Then there IS another feature of
the report that does not set well.
There is some evidence that about
2:3o o'clock in the afternoon party
overheard a conversation In a West
Duluth pool hall, In which the idea
CT lynching Was discussed, and this
fact was communicated by telephone

him with Mrs. Barnes in church ana

they were wonderful glances, full

CHAPTER XLIII
A

A Prisoner
Get UP to your rooul." her father
said with a snarl, after he discover
ed that looking at Anne with scowl-
ing eyes did not frighten her or
make her cast her eyes down. And
don't leave it again until / tell you
to. Well see who's master in this
house and we'll see IL you try n
more of this high and mighty stun.
He followed close on Anne's heels,
waited until she was in her room,
and then slammed the door ana
locked it. She was a prisoner, lock-
ed up like a common criminal.
Underneath the lassitude that
seemed to have crept into the very
marrow of her being. there was a
faint stirring of wonder hat her
father had not been more severe.
She had thought hat something
terrible would happen when she
came home, and the scene had been
degrading. But at least 1t had not
been followed by a tragedy, and for
thai much she was thankful. She
had no idea what he intended to do
with her, but tonight she did not
care: she was too utterly, terribly
tired, and she slept the sleep of ex-
haustion the rest of the night.
she woke to the sunlight stream
ing over her bed and wondered
what time it was. She could not
hear a sound, and after a few min
utes she sprang out OF bed and went
over to the window. Mrs. Barnes
was on the porch mending. She
rocked lazily back and forth and
hummed a little tune. Anne looked
at her wistfully. She could hear the
little friendly creak of the rocker
from where she stood. She had al
ways liked Mrs. Barnes. Her indie
pendence and quick bird-like man
nerisms had appealed to Anne
strongly, but while Aunt Martha
had been alive it had been impossi-
BILE to do more than make a sttn
