the prospectors entered the hut
and made their beds on the floor.
A few hours later the men were
rudely aroused by the hideous
noise Of rattlesnakes, which drove
them in darkness from the stone
hut. They remained outside till
morning and then decided to blow
the hut up with dynamite to end
the den for the snakes. It was
this charge which revealed the
cellar to the hut.
Cautiously they entered the eel
lar and here found the whitened
bones Of q horse lying in heap.
Harncssed across the bones was
bride and the curled saddle with
it's saddlebags, similar to those
used in the early days in the west
ern states. Strapped in the de-
caying leather saddlehag to the
skeleton of the horse were letters
written from Connecticut to Cali
fornia settlers, which are believed
to have been stolen by bandits
from a rider of the famous pony
express of pioneer days, after the
rider and horse had been killed
to obliterate any trace of the
crime, the two being thrown into
the cellar to prevent discovery by
other riders who travelled the same
lonely trails.
The letters are said to be on
exhibition in Oatman and are in

FREEPORT, N. Y. June 24.-While
detectives were trying to piece to-
gether bits of love letters found in
the yard of Miss Edith Lavoy's home
here. officials today began to forge
chain of murder evidence against her
sweetheart, William Greasy of Cow
iARton. Ky. Miss Lavoy was shot
through the head last night while
Greasy was in the house and it was
Greasy who reported the tragedy to
the police.
The letter fragments were found by
investigators from Assistant District
Attorney Edwards office. He imme-
diately ordered every small bit gath
cred up and assigned his detectives
to put them together as soon as pos
slole in the hope of finding clues. All
OF them, Mr.. Edwards said. were writ

was a school teacher here.

The county officials, as soon as
morning came to aid their earch. re-
fused to accept Creasy's story. They
also discounted a story they received
that the two had made a suicide pact
but that Greasy had refused to Kill
himself.
Evidence Contradictive.
According to Edwards, the position
in which Miss Lavoy's body was
found was not natural. He said that
there were three streams of blood
running from the wound in her fore
head and that all Of them seemed to
prove she had been sitting when she
was shot. When the body was found

the left hand hanging over. In the

Special Dispatch to The Star
PORTSMOUTH. N. H., June 24.-Sen-
ator George W. Pepper of Pennsylva-
MIA, before the New Hampshire Bar
Association hero today. upheld the
system in this country by which the
Supreme Court has been made the de-
Gliding factor In determining the con-
stitutionality Of the laws enacted by
Congress. At the same time, he point
ed out to the members of the bar
that the world has changed much in
the last seventy years; that dogma
tism. is today in partial eclipse. and
that there are multitudes today
whose unhappy experiences with
things as they are make them hos
pitable to all sorts of schemes for
changing everything for the better"
He urged the members of the bar to
remember this and to "act like
statesmen with convictions rather
than like old-fashioned orthodoxy in
the presence Of heretical utterances.'
Resent Court Attacks.
You and l." said Senator Pepper
to- the members of the bar, nave
what we regard as a just apprecia-
our national life. We think we know
what the Supreme Court of the United
States has meant to US from the be-
ginning. knowledge in our case has
brought reverence. When somebody
attacks American courts in general.
we are moved to resent 1t almost as
we would blaspbemy.
Every organized government must
place its ultimate trust either In the
executive, or in the legislative or in
the judiciary. Germany defed the
executive. with consequences that are
familiar to US. England has placed
her supreme trust in parliament and
parliament has proved to be the pal
ladium of English liberty.
Safe to Trust High Court.
"It is clear to me that nine selected
men, with life tenure of office and a
written Constitution to guide them,
can safely be trusted to determine the
conformity or nonconformity OF leg
islative enactment to the prescrip-
tions of the Constitution. and may be
allowed the authority to invalidate
legislation found to be in conflict
Herewith.
I'VE ought not to become emotional
as we read the proceedings Of the last
few days in the convention of the
American Federation of Labor at
Cincinnati. The facts stare these
earnest men in the face. One is that
the Supreme Court recently declared
the federal child-labor law unconsti-
tutional: the other is that the Su-
preme Court recently declared that
the consequence OF civil liability for
torts attaches to unincorporated labor
unions in the same way in which
such liability would attach to groups
of people associated for business pur-
poses. These judicial decisions.
which seem to us so normal and in
evitable seem to them like symptoms
Of a judicial tyranny"

Three Of the four roads were de-
clared to have violated the law in
farming out shop Work, while other
decisions embraced the maintenance
of way department and clerks and
freight handlers. The Indiana Har-
Dor Belt, recently declared to be in
violation of the transportation act
because 1t had farmed out shop work.

had leased track repair work to Col

ances OF the shopmen SO far as their

the situation any" said John Scott.

that the board after months got busy
and put out these decisions doesn't
give us any assurance that contract

no further violations Of the law. We

further orders merely aggravate the

ment Of its recommendation that no

at the present time and that those
National Guard units which already
had been modified and held in readi-
ness be ordered home. the situation in
the coal fields was easier tonight.
Gen. Foreman said his mission was
to determine whether it was neces-
sary or expedient to order state troops
into the mine fields at this time, and
after a day of investigation declared
he was satisfied that no good purpose
would be served by calling out troops
He said he believed that the disturbed
condition in the county had been per-
manently relieved and that it would
not recur. The only reason. he as.
serted, which would cause a recur-
renee would be renewed attempt tc
mine coal, and this he did not believe
would be done. None of the old and
established coal companies favored
attempting to open the mines at this
time, the general said.
Gen. Foreman declared he did no,
believe that the inquest over the
bodies Of the Lester mine tragedy
victims. scheduled to be held some

woke further disturbance and that he
