Five negroes were under arrest -harged with the killing of Elihu 6loye several weeks ago. Of the tye the solicitor held three and had to bill returned in the case of Henry !ones and Senior Ask!ns. The ne :roes on trial were Clarence Ham. ong a trusted employe and friend o' .fr. Moye: Willie Borroughs and El to Weldon. The court house and court yard vere crowded long before Zne hour 'or trial by peop!e from all over the -ounty. who came to hear the case ad see the negroes who had com nitted a crime that shocked the en Ire community. Judge Brown's charge to the jury was brief. covering. as usual. the !egrees in homicide cases, and on heir duty to the country. The so icitor wished to use Clarence Ham ts a witness, so did not put him ) tria' with the other two. W. F. 3tayton. E. S. Oliver and Claude )asque were appointed by the court -o represent the accused. Clarence Ham was put on the oitand first.

J. Bryan crit Ises the New York World for Its raise of the class of leaders elect In N. ovember, saying: "The bred of leaders whom men intelligence can follow is. ac >rding to The World. that charac r cf men whose environment has k many cases made them bel!eve. ,d in some cases cauied them to retend to believe. that only sane. regressie and cautious, according the vintage of 1910. and the only Lfe and sane, according to the vin tge of 1904. government is that ominated by the special interests. "The New York World way to ymplete rehabilitation of the Dem critic party is indeed sImple. The -ail is in-!eed p!ainly blazed. It is ie way the Democratic party looked hen in !S92 it marched throuh a laughter-house to a bloody grave, s Henry Watterson put It. An-i the rail is the trail of 1904 plainly lazed by the New York World and ther champions of a safe and sane )emocrat. "What is the thing the New York Vor'd calls Bryan SocialIsm from thich in The World's view the party as been emanciapated? ~'Democrats will better under tand the meaning of The World and ts followers if they use the latest )emocratic national platform as a alcium light in which to read the "rpose of these organizers." In turn Mr. Brya.n asks The Eorld what changes it would make 1 the last natIonal platform: would :repeal the plank concerning trusts, hange the railrcad planks, oppose opular election of Senators, favor hip subsidy. an-! he conclud~es. "the :Lult is that when The World pleads at a sane, progressive and cautions >emocrat It means just as it meant i1904. a Democrat that ho'ds the -orld of promise to the people's ear nly to break it to their hope, a emocrat that represents special in rests rather than public interests, Democracy that spells ruin to the emnocratic party even as It spells rivilege to Wall street."'
