The deduction was then drawn that,
since DR.. Alexander had seen the
papers in 1889, it was possible that
the prisoner had offered them to the
British Museum before going to jail,
either for sale or safe keeping and
that the museum had declined them,
the papers remaining in the posses
sion of the family during his impris-
onment.
But delighted as Mr.. Lee was over
the acquisition of the papers he had
purchased from the Hartford solicitors,
he was still bent on discovering the
contents of the missing trunk as well.
Therefore, he went to Down Place to
trace them and run down the tale OF
their being buried. Colonel Hartford
informed him that a few years previ-
Gus he had indeed authorized the bur
ial of box of papers which had been
much in the way. Mr.. Lee seems to
have dropped the search in disgust.
i
But the next year, j. Leroy White,
then travelling in Europe, himself Wis
tied Colonel Hartford and, on his in
sistence, was shown the place where
Keep, a former butler, had buried
them. A search by Mr.. White fol-
the missing butler disclosed him living
in London. Writing to the society
Mr.. White explained:
Keep told me that he had bur
led the papers because they would
not burn. He had first been told
to burn them, he said, but | gath
cred from him that the best look
ing papers were removed from
the heap before they were
dumped by him, loosely and not
enclosed in any box or chest, into
a hole prepared by him. These
selected documents | understood
were included in the collection
which we secured last year.
Colonel Harford's mother, Keep
said, was very careful of these
papers, but at her death the place
was for rent and the tenant OBJ
jected to having this load of pa
pers kicking about in the cellar.
Hence the order to burn. Keep
said he had taken his action care
fully at the time of the burial,
thinking that the documents
might be wanted again; and he
showed me exactly where the
| papers should be within a foot
I or two. Here, with three men
to dig, we worked away until we
had pretty well examined a space
more than ten feet square, going
down below the lowest point that
Keep could have reached, cutting
through roots of trees and into
quite wet ground.
We found nothing of the pa

and the Messrs. Hawkley and Corn
valleys, the heads of the expedition,
containing the precepts for the gov
erning during the voyage and on their
arrival. This paper, the oldest docu-
ment, is in the handwriting of &C.
cilius Calvert, and from the inter-
lineations and erasures is evidently
the draft from which fair copy for
the eXpeditionary heads afterward
was made.
There is one document which prob
ably proud Pennsylvanians prefer had
been buried with the missing papers.
1t is Telegraph letter from William
Penn to some Marylanders living near
the head of the Chesapeake Bay. For
years Penn had cast covetous eyes on
the Chesapeake and endeavored
throughout his life to extend Pennsyl-
vania's boundary southwark at Mary
lands expense.
Shortly after his charter was signed
he wrote friendly letter to Lord
Baltimore, protesting neighborly COM
ity and asking that the two provinces
be conducted on basis of "do as thou
yould'st be done by" Then came the
letter in question, in which Penn at
tempted to induce prominent Mary
landers living in the northern part OF
he province, by friendly words and
yelled threats, to revolt against the
Baltimore authority.
The letter is entirely in PENIS owr
hand and bears his seal.

a clause was inserted in the Consti-
tuition making it duty of the Com
missioner of the Land Office to col
lect, arrange and classify papers, rec
ords, relics and ether memorials con-
nected with the early history of the
State.
By the passage of another act in
1888 the society received all records,
archives and ancient documents of the
province and State prior to the ac-
acknowledgement Of the independence
of the United States by Great Britain.
Then the search began in earnest. All
State repositories, public buildings,
cellars, half-forgotten cupboards, old
furniture, ancient files and even the
dome of the State House were ran
sacked, resulting in an accumulation
of 10000 papers covering $50 years
of the State history.
Then it was recalled that in his
preface to his Index to the Calendar of
Maryland State Papers, bearing the
date of Easter Monday, 1861, DR.
Alexander, referring to collection OF
documents at the British Museum, had
written:
Many years ago these posses
sions of the British Museum
might have been increased, and
with objects of interest. In the
autumn of 1889 there were lying
in one of the rooms Of the ground
floor two considerable chests
marked Calvert papers which
myself observed with much inter-
est; but presuming that they were
an acquisition, or would shortly
be examined and reported upon
thoroughly, or at least be there
after forever accessible, | made
no particular inquiry about them
at the moment.
1t appears that this presump-
ton was erroneous, and upon a
diligent research instituted re-
cently-under the disadvantage,
to be sure, of there being not a
single person left now in the en-
ployment of the institution who
was connected then with the par
ticular branch of it's service to
which belongs the receipt and GUS
tody of such things, until they are
handed over to be placed in their
proper receptacles-no further
Intelligence could be obtained
about them, and no conclusion ar
rived at other than that when
seen they were merely in transitu,
having been probably offered by
some party possessing them, but
at such a price as precluded
purchase However this may have
been, the mischance is very much
to be regretted.

London an authority on Maryland's
archives, anG J. w. NJ. Lee, librarian
of the society and an employe of the
late T. Harrison Garrett, was loaned
for the mission. He sailed for Eng
land, sped to London, and eagerly ex-
amined the papers at the solicitors
office. These Mr.. Lee assured him
self were the only papers of their kind
known to be in existence, and he
promptly made the purchase. Balti-
more brokers advancing the necessary
sum, which later was repaid by priv
ate subscription. The price, although
never made public, was estimated tc
be between $4,000 and $4,000. The
papers were placed in the society's
vault on June II, 1888, and Mr.. Coher
made the following note;
1t is somewhat curious that
whilst we in Maryland were Won
dering what could have become of
these missing papers, at that very
time, in 1861, when DR.. Alexander
was printing the document which
records the facts that have led to
the renewal of the search, our
sister State, Virginia, in search
for evidence bearing upon the
question of the boundary between
Maryland and Virginia, should
have developed and recorded the
fact of the then present existence
of the papers we now have before
US (the papers purchased by the
society,".
In 1860 the General Assembly
of Virginia adopted a resolution
authorizing and requesting the
governor, if he should deem it ex-
pedient, to send to England a
ords and documentary evidence
tending to ascertain and establish
the true boundary between Vir-
ginia and the States of North
Carolina, Tennessee and Mary
land.
Col. A. W. Mcdonald, Of Virginia
was commissioned by Governor Letch
err of that state as the agent and mad
his inquiry as directed. In his repor
to the executive, dated February 2
1861, he stated:
l sought out the representative
of the Baltimore family and fin
ally discovered him prisoner for
debt in the Queens Bench prison,
to which some twelve years since
he had been transferred from the
Fleet prison, after having been
there confined for more than eight
years. | obtained an interview
with this gentleman; informed
him of the object of my visit,
which he appeared entirely will
ing to promote, and learned from
him, after most minute inquiry,
that the original charter had
never come into his hands with
the other family papers which
had; that he had never seen it,
never heard of it being in the
hands of any other person, and
that he verify believed said orig
inal charter to be utterly lost and
destroyed.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1929-07-18

And it is here that the story of the
society's activities for the recovery
of the missing papers begin. The
late Mendes Cohen, then correspond
ing secretary of the society, began an
exchange of letters with a Winslow
Jones, of Exmouth, England, who was
interested in matters pertaining to
Maryland history and who at intervals
had supplied valuable notes on the
early Calverts. Mr.. Jones was asked
to join in the search for the papers
said to have been in two chests at the
British Museum, and he promptly re-
sorted to Notes and Inquiries, a Brit
ish publication, requesting some clue
to the two containers. He soon re-
ceived a reply that large mass of
colonial papers was in the possession
of Col. F. H. Hartford, a retired Brit
ish Army officer and a descendant OF
the last Lord Baltimore. Several
months later Mr.. Jones journeyed to
Colonel Harford's estate, Down Place,
near Windsor, and in May, 1887, he
wrote to Mr.. Cohen:
l finished on yesterday the eX-
animation of the deeds and pa
pers at Down Place. They were
in utter confusion in one very
large chest, and not in the two
in which they were originally
kept, without any arrangement
and mixed up with family papers
unconnected with the province,
and very many of both sets with
out endorsement, but they are all
now arranged and for the most
part marked.
The chest has for some years
been in an old orangery, now used
as a potting house and for garden
purposes, and some signs of damp
are on a few of the papers, so
that if the chest should remain
for some years longer in its pres
en- place he papers may be SER
iou5ly inju- cd.
Negotiations by mail between the
Hartford family nd the historical so
ciety began imme~ lately. No date Of
a single payer cou1 be obtained MOI
could price be obtlined for the pa
pers' purchase For year the nego'
tiations were unsuccessful until the
summer of 1887, when d. R. Randall
of Annapolis, beng in London, was
asked to call to see the papers then II
the possession of Colonel Harford''
solicitors in London. Mr.. Randall was
shown the papers that had been for
warded to London, but vas informed
that others were buried n a field a
Down Place. The solicitor wrote;
4 We fear they are lost beyond
recovery, as we understand from
our client that they were buried
] some years. ago by his gardener
to get rid of what at that time
was supposed to be useless.

THE CHARLOTTE VERDICT

The verdict against the seven Gastonia riot defendants as given in Charlotte will be appealed to the North Carolina Supreme Court and finally to the |. s. Supreme Court, according to the plans Of the de fense, The verdict just given in Superior Court in Charlotte, there fore, can be accepted as merely tho first act in this celebrated drama Of industrialism in the New South.
 The points upon which the high CT courts are especially needed to shed light concern the injection Of religious and class hatred in the trial. The ruling Of Judge Barnhill permitting the use Of religious views as an indication of the credibiIily Of witnesses naturally has attained wide comment even in North Carolina more especially so in view of he ac- tion of Judge A. NJ. Stack at Concord in which he took a position opposed to Judge Barnhill. Judge Stack de- cison was in connection with the four minor mill officials for kid naping and flogging Ben Wells q British Communist The four were acquitted. Judge Stack held, in re- fusng the plea Of the defense that Wells should not be permitted 10 testify on account Of his religious views that religious views had nothing to do with wjtnosss crcdt- .bilty.
 The appeal 10 the higher courts, Of course, will be based upon the claim that the use of religious and class doctrine in trial is denial Of due process Of law as guaranteed in the Constitution. Such of tho de fendants as are Communists must depend finally upon the American Constitution for their rights, and not necessarily upon the laws of North Carolina.
 The verdict as fl stands might hT regarded as just if one is inclined tC think that one guess is as good a another. A shot from somebody's gur killed the Gastonia police chief; bn the evidence as to who started tho fracas, the police or the defendants

But other factors are equally de- cisive. Postwar prosperity of itself has taken such turn as to compete seriously with unionism for the in- tercSt of the working man. Cheap motor cars radios, and moving pie lures offer him attractive facilities for recreation. Public education, training him to read and be self reliant, has made him susceptible to newspapers and magazines express ing all viewpoints. The American workman has imbibcd freely of the gospel Of material success and his amb.liOn is to rise from the wage earning class as soon as possible as the best means Of escaping the evils emphasized by union leader. Glass consclou5ness' he has heard con- demncd on every hand, including union leaders; he has learned 10 laud individual initiative and enter prise. Henry Ford appears to be much more of d hero 10 the average workman than William Green.
 We have taken no sides in this symposium, merely expressing q few facts worth intelligent consideration. Whether the Federation will succeed m gaining passage Of the anti-in junction bill in Congress remains in aD"yance. When it comes before congress d good knowledge of the change in trades control might be an advantage. The unions remain strong in the skilled trades; the point is there has been marvellous development of usklled trades which are not affected by the labor move mcnt.
