INFAMY.
According to our promise made
some time ago, we present our
readers to-day with a continuation
of the expges of the horrors and
deriltries of 0layton'a murderers
and .thieves, perpetrators of deeds
so dark and damnable that the re
tembrance of them will make the
W,rd militia odious and hateful to
tlg pe ple of:tbe South and South
west for .al time to come-deeds,
which, when we contemplate them
now; and,refect that the perpetra
tors nqt nly welk. our. streets
with impunity, but are the hon
ored representatives of the domi
n.snt power, make us blush for
the manhood of the South. All
crimes and shames, outrages that
would have disgraced the darkest
days of the dark ages, have been
committed openjy and with the
sanetion of the highast authoritf.
All law, and justice, and right
werLsrisk n _frt.h r._ thQpes,
and lia-lec ,w.e rea t:he earth,
whore they now lio under the iron
heeTof a military despotism, at the
head of which are men convicted
of all crimes, thoroughly depraved
and -iie, the eoum of'the earth
But, however high they hold
their heads now, however brazen
ly they lord it over justice and
law, however boldly and unbiush
ly they outrage every right of the
people, a day of reckoning is at
hand, and vengeance is certain to
overtake them. It ray be slow,
but so surely as a God of Right
lives'in Heaven.it will come, and
when it does, their destruction
will be utter and complete.
Meanwhile, all we can da is to
expose to the people their villain
ies ant crime- and abide in pa
tience till our time comes. Our
last expose prvved Upham.a mur
derer'and a thief-giving the se
cret history of the murder of John
B. Thorpe. We have to-day a
continnation of the same-another
link in the chain of crimes, .being.
THE EXECUTION OF'JOE LITTLE.
for th-' murder of Capt. John Davis.
It will be remembered that we
proived that Thorpe was kill;d for
havin;-told Davis where he could
iad his stolen mule. We are new
able to;prove that Capt. Davis was
murdered, by the same band-or
rather by order of the- same man.
W,hen Davis waai murdered, the
mttrderer, Jee Little was arrest
e.d and confined in Marion jail.
He was perfecdy oallous about the
air,'and paid no a:ten tion to a
eourt martialor itsfinding. About
twoe hours before his execution
his sentence was read to him.
Th.is was the first intimation that
he had of his fate. Thbe doomed
,ma'could not and would not be
lieve it at first, but he was assured
that-the sentence was irrevocable,
and that he had but two short
hoiuits to live.
. Beig abeliever in the Rotnie
Catholic religion he asked to be
allowed to see a priest, and the re
quest was refused. As the mo
msji;eted by aid he saw the
scaffbki being made ready for him
-with death staring him in the
fa'ce, conseigee long agsleep in his
bre;ast, awoke and with its scor'
pio lash began even. on, earth to
inflict the torments of hell upon
the wr.etched man. The load was
too great to be borne, and he called
his fellow prisopers around him
and made th e following
CoNFESSION.
I~ eame from Missouri with Up
ism and Monok. We belonged to
a-hand of horse thieves that had
tiripteetions all o.ver the country.

is t?he captain, and Monek was the
treasurer. When we sitarted from
is~souri. tbvy said that we' would
come down into Arkansas, and
tldt uldee' tlhe.pretence of hunting
endalXtix could'kill a few men
and get all th?e horses and money
we-waned.' We have been en
gaged in this ever since we came
here. I have acted under 'Upham's
orders in everything. When I
Iille%I Davis I was acting~ under
his pei ate orders. These orders
wege the iyest sort, for we, were
never punished for anytbing done
uder tham. I was sure I would
be protected in it. When I was
arrested I was offered my choice
of' a trial, either civil or military.
Upham toki me, and so did others
that, it would only be a form an
way, and that I would be acqu'
ted ;so1Ifelt essy and chose the
military, as e ould not believe
they. would go .back on me this
way. You see they have thou5gh.
Tbre told me all along, since I
ari been .in here, t.hat it *as all
a bin4, and that sI would be re
what I know. I am murdered be
cause I know too muci. I see it all
-fool, blind fool, that I am Boys,
all of you, these are my dying
words. They are true, so help me
-God."
Our informants, who heard this
are willing to make a deposition
of the facts as they are related.
The.doomed man then went on,
ond.iu a full.and.clear manner de
tailed all of the circumstances con
nected with the
MURDER OP HARNEY, M'ALLISTER
AND'TICtR;
which we are in possession of, but
which we reserve for future use.
The details are perfectly horrible,
and show better than anything
else the- character of the infernal
villains at the head of affairs in
Arkansas. Lttle before being led
to the scaffold, made a full confes
sion at head-quarters, and it was
taken down by Capt. Cooke, (our
infbrnant thinks Cooke took it
down, 6ut is not sure.) It never
saw the light, as may be.imagined.
Where is it.? Will some of the
"hightoned, brave gentlemen" that
the Post speaks of tell us?
CRUMP'S CASE.
We gave our readers some time
ago the details of what occurred
in. court during Crump's trial.
There were, however,. certain de
tails which we thouglit best not
to-publish tben, and which we give
now:
During the conrt-martial, Judge
T. W. Brown, Crump's attorney,
made a motion to be allowed to
read certain depositions, testimony
of witnesses who could not be pres
ent, and give it in person. Capt.
Cooke, the Judge Advocate, was
in favor of allowing it, and so in-,
formed the court. As in all cases
of deliberation, the court was
cleared of all parties not members
of it, the prisoner being removed
to an adjoining room, where he
could, withQat_ their knowing it,
overhear almost everything that
was said in the Court-room. As
soon as the Court was cleared the
prisoner heard Haynes say to
Cooke, that it was "no use wasting
time listening either to deposi
tions or witnesses, and ho was
therefore opposed to allowing
them. No matter- what Crump
proved, or the witnesses proved,
Crump had to die. He ought to
be, and would be served like the
others." To this Cooke, who is
as fair and just a man as could be
in such an infamous service, re
plied that ho had promised Grump
a fair trial, and a fair trial he
should have, or be (Cook) would
wash his bands of the whole busi
ness; that be was tired of this "or
ganizing to convict," and murder
ing men, and that he would not
be on the Court that hung him.
Some other words were passed,
but the Court finally decided
against admitting the testimony.
That evening an order came
from "Col" Mayne to Cooke, or
dering him to resign his position
and leave the State. T o this Cooke
replied that as for resigning "be
would do so with the greatest
pleasure. lie was much obliged
to him (Mayne) for giving*him thbe
chance to get out ot the position
as hie was tired of their murders and
infamies. As to leaving the State,
hoever. ha point-blank refused to
do, it, and said he would stay there
and go with Mayne to his funeral
first."
So he remained, and since the
occurrence Mayne has made re
peted efforts to get possession of
the orderi, but Cooke has refused
it, and still holds it. Cooke is at
present doing business in partner
ship with Capt. Rice in Marion,
merchandising. He says he in
tends using the -order along with
other information that he has, at
some future time.
MORE TORTURE.
After Grump's release by the
civil authorities, he went to the
Seriff and told him where there
were three pistols belonging to
him, in the jail, and asked for them.
They were procured and returned
to him. This caused a good deal
of inquiry among the crew, May no,
Hanes and others, as to howv
rump got the pistols in jail. As
soon~ ag Sheriff Harden was re
moved, Mayne commenced 'a
course of' inquiries, but could find
out nothing.
A few days ago Haynes' negro
wife had a quarrel with a negro
named Woods, who had been a
Sergeant in the miltia and a guard
over Grump the most of the time.
'o get revenge she swoire that
she bad seen him hand the pistols
into the jail to -Crump.
On th1s bilnt they acted. A day
or two befor@grden came lback
with the imnention- Man e,
Haynes and Whiting seized Ser
geant Woods and threw him into
jail. They left him there the first
I nigh', without telling him the
charges against him. The next
night, however, the trio took him
out and told him what he was
accused of. He denied it, and
they prepared to put him to the
torture.
They first hung hirm awhile-tak
ing him down before life was extinct
and questioning him. He still de
nied all knowledge of the char
ges. They then bucked and gagged
him for some time in the most
cruel manner. He still protested
that he was innocent himself and
did not know who was the guilty
person, As a last resort, Whiting
cocked a revolver, put it to his
bead, and told him he had but a
minute to live, if he did not con
fess. Woods was seared, but even
the almost certainty of instant
death did not elicit a confession,
and the baffled scoundrels, after
abusing' him and cursing him,
turned him loose, threatening if
he ever told what was done to
him by-theni, to kill him.
Woods is a negro, very mnch
liked by the white people of
Crittenden, and who did a good
deal toward alleviating the wretch
ed condition of the prisoners in
the Marion jail. This fact having
transpired, Mayne, Haynes and
Whiting( the mostinfernal scoun
drels of all) have persecuted him
in the manner just recited. He is
ready to prove these charges, and
much more.
CRUMP.
Graf. Cramp, the young man
who was so cruelly maltreated by
them, and whose trial and trium
phant vindication we have already
given, is a gentleman of education
and refinement, of good family and
irreproachable repuation His sim
ple word is worth more than the
Bible oaths of all the sealawags and
carp.et-baggers in Aiansas, or
anywhere else, for that matter.
He is the object of their especial
hate and persecution. He is now
in the city, and has been here al
most 'ever since he was released.
Notwithstanding this fact is known
and he can prove it, Haynes and
Mayne are continually spreading
the report, sending it to little
Rock and elsewhere, that be, Club
Harlan, Clarence Collier and
Gilbert Dowell are in the swamps
murdering negroes. A few nights
ago a negro came in to Marion and
reported that Crump and Harlan
had murdered a negro at or near
Kingston. On Friday evenmng
Crump in company with Collier
went to Mound City and there
heard this report. Fearing some
trouble from it, they immediately
took a skiff and came down to the
city. It was well they did, for
shortly after they left,
MAYNE DISGUIsED As A NEGRO,
at the' head of a band of twenty
armed negroes- came into Mound
City hunting for them, swearing
vengeance against them, espp
ially Crump, and saying they
had an order for their arrest on
charge of having committed this
murder. It now turns out that there
was no murder committed, nor was
any order issued for their arrest.
Mayne denies that he had any
thing to do with the affair, but it
an be proven, as can every charge
made in this expose. We under
stand that Mayne is now trying
to trump up something on Dr.
Guerrant who was so devoted to
the interest of the prisoners. He
has, however, thus far not suc
ceeded.
THEIR MOVEMENTS.
Mayne, Turner and Whiting left
for Little Rock a day or two ago.
They loudly swear that somebody
will suffer when they come back.
hey also say that the injunction
lately granted Sheriff Harden by
the Supreme Court shall be set.
iside.
HayneR was in the city yester
day. He was dressed up in a new
wit of clothes which he either
beat some tailor out of, or paid
for with stolen money. It is re
ported among his negro friends
~hat he came over to make ar
rangements to be married As he
bas one negro wife now, we.sup
pose the other will be of the same
solor.
There is a nice little plot among
t Loyal Leaguers of Crittenden
bo murder all the young men who
left during the reign of terror, if
hey return, Forewarned is fore
irmed, and the young men will be
ery great fools if they go back

New Laws.
The Legislature, at its last ses
sion, convened on the twenty
fourth day of November, and ad
journed four months, precisely,
from that date. In that time they
passed one hundred and seven
acts, which were just ten more

its last sitting, in four weeks.
Some of these acts are of much
importance, but we have only
published one. We preferred to
wait until they bad all been pub
lished, and then we would give

That synopsis, we now present
