THE THoRsDALE TRAGEDY.

Where is the real Murderer? Are the
daily papers and the officers Of law try
ing to saddle Negro with the crime at
any rate?
Ever since the first day Miss Thors-
dale was found dead near Valley June
1ion the daily papers and officers Of law
baye issued statements galore that so
and so confesses or that Mr.. John or
Mrs. Jane identify this and the other
Negro as the one seen near the scene Of
murder.
Sheriff Robb was apparently sure at
one time that Tom Lewis was the man.
During that time the new witnesses that
are testifying against Joe Williams at
this time never appeared clothed with
evidence against any one as they are
now and it is strange if they knew.
anything about the crime at the time
when they didn It speak when the whole
community would liked to have seen
sae culprit .apprehended9
Mcdonald has been quoted as saying
that Williams is the murderer. The
Capital in recent issue stated that Will
1ixma graphically described how Davcn-
port murdered the young lady. Th"
next morning almost before those forms
were off the press the Register came
ont with a. state nelt from the sheriff
that the story as published in the Cap
ital was absolute y false. He further
stated that no one had interviewed Will
hams since some tim. Sunday. r.
Robb's beliefs as to the real murderer
has shifted from one Negro to the other
We wonder what he thinks now2 We
also would like to know where is the
man that had,to be driven away from
the teacher 8 home or the school shortly
before she was murdered. We want to
know why Sheriff Robb, Mcdonald and
the state agents have not sought to get
hold of that man and get some state
ment from him?
The bloodhounds proved that some one
lied. Now some one is going to prove
that the b1oodhunds lied, and someone
is going to prove that someone else lied.
What we want to know is just who is

ing the. right Of free speech issues the
following statement regarding the loyal.
ty of the Negro press
Colonel Kerlin declares that he was
never happier, and "that instead Of be-
ing defeated I have only begun to
fight and he will continue to labor
for justice in the south.
The complete statement follows:
Never was there a more instanta-
neous and generous response to any act
Of service than your papers have given
to mine, simple as it was. That response
has been not only instantaneous and
generous, but enthusiastic and eloquent
in expressions of gratitude and praise.
It makes me wonder what your press
would do were some real hero to appear
and do something really great. I have
before me perhaps twenty editorials
from your press that would do credit to
any press on this globe. They go to
my heart to hear and strengthen it and
they touch it to softness too. What
man cannot put force into his blows in
a righteous and humane cause when he
is so cheered on, when so many grateful
eyes are turned upon him, when so many
hopes are fixed upon him?
