John Mitchell. Jr.,
1t Is with both pleasure and solemn
ity that pen this in praise of your
great worth and uncompromising Ia
boz for those in the south supposed to
be free but as yet part free, but mostly
enslaved. You have ever been their
brave and courageous champion AMI
come what may they will recognize
you as such. At present they feel you
are a martyr having dared to assert
your right as an American citizen and
you for them are made to suffer, but
come what may dear one, your true
friends cannot be fooled and they will
stand by you to the limit for they
still believe you true and honest. The
writer not unlike yourself was once q
native OF your city but when in 1883
he saw that real freedom could not be
obtained in the South, left it and live
or die. sink or swim, survive or perish
he will never return.
So God bless you brother Mitchell
and may you defeat your enemies al Z.
though 1t may be Herculean task.
Yours truly.

THE LONG ARM
State of New York Sends For Man
Here Wonted on Small Charge.

The "people of New York state
are lavish in the expenditure of none!
when it comes to bringing fugitive
to justice as evidenced by a cas-
which has come to the attention of the
Bexar county sheriff's office. In or
der TO punish man for the alleged
theft of four automobile accessories
valued at $50 each, it will ,necessitatC
the expenditure of more than $500 fol-
railroad fare.
The sheriff's office last week was
requested to place under arrest man
now in San Antonio, charged in New
York with grand larceny in the second
degree. The arrest was made and
New York officers notified. A wire
came back at once stating that an Of
ficer is on his way to San Antonio
to take the man back.
Question has arisen among Bexar
county officers as to the economy of
spending $500 for railroad fare when
the amount involved in the alleged
theft was so small.

Knocked him into realization of his
real self and turned the pags of his
life back five years, it was revealed
here today.
Arthur L. Whitney. overseas in
France q months during the world
war, gassed thru. times, was men
tally twisted. almost was a victim Of
asphasia. His life before the last gas
attack was blank.
Following the war he landed in New

prohibition agent. There he met tn,
woman known as Mrs. Ann Whitney,
a girl from Escanaba. Mich, who
lived in st. Paul with him for the
last two years.

him two sons.

"when ana you going to take me
| home?"
He knew nothing of Ann Whitney,
nothing of the baby she is soon to
bear. nothing of the almost complete
divorce proceedings between himself
and Luella, and nothing of how h. was
hurt.
Asks About His Sons.
Whitney had a faint idea that he
had been government dry agent
however. lie asked his wife how tn,
boys were and apparently did not real
ize the passage of time.
Last night, also for the first time,
physicians said definitely that Whit
ney will recou,r. In the first inter
view she has granted since she came
here shortly after Whitney was in
jured, Luella Whitney intiNated that
she has not yet bsn legally divorced
from Whitney. Proceedings were gone
through, she said, but she insisted
that, under the laws of North Da-
kota, she and Whitney are legally
man and vile until November l.
By nine days the course Of Whit
ney's life may be entirely changed.
Tells of Her Marriage.
Mrs. Whitney told of her marriage
to the prohibition agent, of her sons.
but SIS, refused to discuss the di-
vorcc proceedings. or what she plans
to do after November l.
Mrs. Ann Whitney left st. Cloud
Saturday morn:.:y for an unknown
destination.
Mrs. Luella WStaey intimated last
night that she might consider the past
a closed book, effect a cancellation
with her almost divorced husband,
"and live happily ever after
Although it was reported that Ann
