A governor of an imperial State, one in the galaxy of States forming | this Nation, was assassinated; shot | down in cold blood by a hired assas- jein concealed in the state huuse. It was worse than theordinary murder, because it included treason agaiast the state. The chief conspirator, and principal beneficiary to be, in the damnable crime, escaped to a sister state, the Republican governor of which refused to honor a requisition for his arrest and return to the scene of his crime to stand trial under the same criminal laws which obtained in bis state; his reasons therefor re- flecting on the whole people of a sie- ter commonwealth, being that he could not be guaranteed a fair trial. A great crime had been committed against the people ofa state.

Boodlers Freed By Supreme Court Decision. St. Louis, Mo., Dec, 15.—Thedecis ion of the supreme court, written by Judge Gantt and concurred in by Judges Fox and Burgess last Wed- nesday in the case of the state of Missouri ve. William Bonner, in which the three judges state that county Prosecutors must swear to positive knowledge as individuals in swearing out loformation, rather than the method of simply swearing officially to information supplied by a third party, will have the effect of setting free many criminals now in jails and the penitentiary. The decision was made on an amendment to the constitution pase- edin 1901. Asa consequence much of the work of the state courts since that time will be nullified and many who were convicted after being tried on official information cannot be tried again, owing to the statute of limitations. Ivis the consensus of opinion of the leading attorneys here that hundreds of men serving terms for crimes rang- ing from grand larceny to murder may secure release, at least tempo- rarilv, from the penitentiary upon habeas corpus proceedings, Among those who are thought to have a clear title to liberty under the decis- ion are the men sent up for boodling in the local house of delegates. There are nine of these now under sentence, seven on charges of bribery and two on charges of perjury. All were im- plicated in the passage of the Subur- ban franchise. There is still great question wheth- er the statute of limitations will pre- vent the boodlers’ re-indictment, i tendance at a reception given by President Roosevelt at the White criticism in the South. when Lyons, with another negro and two negro women, appeared in full dress at the reception, some of the Southern guests abruptly left the White House. commented on by several Southern newspapers and public men for invit- when Southern men and women were to be present.

National Committeeman From Georgia Was “Just as Good as White Folks.” Washington, Dec. 14 —Judeon W. Lyons, the negro national commit- teeman from Georgia, was invited with the Republican committeemen, to Senator Hanna’s dinner at the Arlington last night. Early in the day it was rumored that, although Lyons bad been invited, a gentle hint would be dropped to him that he might discover a previous engage- ment, Nothing of the kind happened. Lyons received no hints and he at- tended the dinner with the other committeemen. He arrived on time and was shown to a seat inside the left wing of the banquot table, almost directly opposite to a Southern com mitteeman—Representative Brown- low, of Tennessee, Several of the Southern membere of the committee are reported to have stayed away from the dinner, because they did not care to meet Lyons socially. None of them would talk about it however, except Committeeman Robinson, of North Carolina, who arrived at the banquet room, saw Lyons there, and immediately secur- ed his hat and went away. “T came here as a gentleman and I am going back as a gentleman,” was the only explanation Mr. Robinson had to offer, Lyons is the same man whore at- His Houre last winter aroused so much It. was reported at the time that President Roosevelt was severely ing Lyons and the women at a time Greatest Missourians?
