Six Die in Tenement Fire.
New York, Special. --Six lives were

Injured and the lives of more than 100

piorftlng tenement house fire in Wil
liamsburg section of Brooklyn. With
one except ionfl all the .dead are child
ren. Incendiaries are thought to have
been responsible for the fatal lire, and
tliis theory is strengthened by the
fact thnt while the firemen were at
work on tho blaze alarms were turned
in fcr two other tires in ?h'e Immediate
neighborhood. The dead:
Hell a Glass, 2U years.
Henry Glass, 2 years.

Twelve families, comprising 120 per
sons, were asleep In the big five-story
double tenement house when the
llameg were discovered. When the
alarm was sounded through the house
tljr; men and women, some of the latter
with babies in their arms, others with
little boys and girls clinging to the
night clothes" of their mothers, ran to
the hallway. There they were met v*Jth
the great clouds of choking smoke,
?while the flames were rapidly closing
In about them. Before the firemen ar
rived police reserves from a nearby
station bad rescued many persons from
the blaziiiK building. When the fire
men came, human lines were formed
from the lire escapes and the screaming
women and ehildreh were lowered to
the pavement. The flames burst from
windows all about them and the
clothes of many of them were burned
from their bodies. Their hair was sing
ed and their bodieB burned.
Against North Carolina.

tion of counsel on behalf of the St&to
of North Carolina for a rehearing In
the case of the Slate of South Dakota

case involved the validity of North
Carolina's guaranty of certain rail
road bonds donated to South Dakota
for the use of the University of South

MR. HENRY REPORTS
Asked Many Pertinent Questions of
Prominent People ? -Even Preacher#
Fifluratively Say "Amen."
Mr. J. K. H$nry, Holieltor <>f tho
sixth circuit, la^t week submitted to
Gov. Heyward a report on the Ker
shaw lynching. Mr. Heury Ik very
outspoken in hi? condemnation of the
double killing und calls attention to
a Btuio of affairs in Kershaw which
he nays makes it almost impossible
for Hie State to get any evidence. i
In view of the attention which has '
been attracted t? tho case as well .
an to the at rung sta' -menta iti tin*
letter itself, Mr. Heniy's oltteial com
munication to the (lovornor wjli? be
very interesting reading:
Chester, S. C., Oct. 12, ls>04.
Gov. 1). C. Hoy ward,
_ Columbia, S. C.
Sir: in obedience to your request
1 arrived at Kershaw, S. C., at noon
on Monday, October to investigate
the lynching ??f John T. Morrison f?>r
the killing of WilllainFloyd on the
Saturday previous. A1WP conferring
with the sheriff of Lancaster, John P.
Hunter, Ksq., who had preceded uiu
that morning, 1 conferred with and
Interviewed the mayor, some of tho
aldermen, the town marshal, several f
of the citizens, th<> wife and son <?f
Morrison and two of Morrison's neigh
bors. From these I learned that the
attitude of the entire kiwii nod *>???"?
rounding country was, by hand or
heart, "His blood be upon us and our
children." Not a single man among
them but what deplored lynching and
excused this on..', "If one was ever j
excusable." Everyone with whom I '
conversed seemed to labor u> impress
mo with the l'act that this was tho
most orderly, quiet and sober lynching
that ever occurred- --a real pious!
lynching, with the preachers in the
background, almost auuibly sayinti
"amen." 1 did rot get to see any ol\
the local prea< hers; but several spoko
1<i mo after ieaving Kershaw, on tho
sub'ect of this lynching, and to my
end; a s ton i. -dim wit, they vclecd tho
sentiment, "if there ever was an ex
cusable lyn.diing this was it." Where
are we going to end up ? these horri
ble midnight murders by lynch law
on all hands and public sentiment
fast head ng tho same way? A sense
of paralysis came upon mo with tho
darkness of Monday night
On Tuesday morning 1 called a
special meeting of the town council.
Every member, with the town mar
shal, met us (Sheriff Hunter and my
self) in a special meeting. I explain
ed that the Governor had sent me to
Investigate the lynching; they were
swern olReers, like myself; I waiited
their help; Morrison had been taken
from their custody; they wet <5 some
what responsible on this account; i
wanted them to deal with me in a
perfectly honest and straightforward
manner; I would try to do the same
with them: there was no use in my
wasting effort if they were in sym
pathy with 'ho lynching or would ob
struct or refuse to help me in the
investigation. My appeal for help
was in the Interest of law, and tho
namo of the State and our Maker.
After this I asked eaeh and every
one of them the following questions:
1. Are you In sympathy with the
lynching?
2. WjJl you help the State's Officers
in ferreting cut and bringing to trial
these lynchers, honestly?
3. Was this lynching -lone by town
ferks or from the surrounding couu
t? y ?
To these three questions I have ver
batim answers on file., Two aldermen
answered that they were indifferent to
the lynching and would net help to
ferret cut the lynchers. 'Che mayor
and one alderman answered that, they
were not in qynipatliv with the lynch
ing and would help the State officers,
provided it did not interfere with
ihelr business (both of these had
much nuslness.) One alderman had
done all he could to present the
Ivnchlng and would do nothing more.
Tho clerk was in sympatliy with the
lynchers and would i?? . t help to ferret
it. out and would cover up evidence if
he knew of any.
Tho town marshal was not in sym
pathy with the lynching, did all bo
could to prevent it and would help all
he could to ferret it out, but be was
busy colloct'ng taxes.
As to the third question, the opinion
of three of those present wan that tho
lynching was done by country people,
and of four that the crowd I hat did
i it was mixed; but bv four that thw
I country people predominated, becansd
nobody cou'd bo minted from the
town after Morrison was taken from
tho guard bouse. Tins last is the
opinion of the great majority of the
townspeople to whom 1 talked. After
interviewing tin.: town officers, I re
quested tho town marshal to go to ev
ery business place and announce that
I would remain at tho council, cham
ber until 5 p. m., (taking 30 minutes
for dinner) and wanted to confer with
any one who would give me any as
sintanoe. I urged the marshal not
to pa?? by a single man, if possible.
As a result six persons called on me
%ono*#if them a member of the Inquest
jury on tho lynching of Morrison.
This member of that Jury had taken
a band in a lynching bee to the ex
tent of voting to bang tho culprit;
I hut this was for tho usual (?) crime
I Of all six none knew anything except
an "they say."
I tried to meet Tho State's corres
pondent, sent word to him and went
to his office. He was out of town
1 asked for and tried to find a friend
o; tho dead man, outside of fcts own
! family. If there wus one he would
' not own it. Ono man spoke kindly of
Morrison, and a man who had known
him longest and best.
Tho following are my conclusions:
William Floyd was a good, average
1 elticen, sober and popular, and of a
popular and influential family. John
T. Morrisoti was cross-grained and
killed two negroes (excusably of in
excusably), had been acquitted aud
bad had trouble with several other
?-po*>*}o, drank, had no family nor in
fluencK-. His killing Floyd was an aw
ful murdci" -affd the community'* kill
tag him was more awful still, In that
tho conscience of the community tft
debauched with his blood which wlL
not be wiped out for half a century -
Morrison was a bad man, hut not a*
Mack aa painted. The Jury of in
quest is from tho country. From the
ruinutag faeia tt tha Jurjf dow not
ttfct it into ltt bead to YilMUcil* tfift.

powerless. There U nothing, t?
?ey nia to me, to be accomplished by
the State's officers, unless tho euro*
nor and jury Invite them back. Wo
eon asaist tho county; but can't tako
charge of It. l am trusting that after
?ho first shock of the. lynching l.a^
passed, the conscience of tho law
abiding element or that county will
revive, ami something may be done
yet to bring these pantos to trial
When I hour from you | will Instruct
the jury of inquest to close up Its

he was convicted after llvo hours' ? i* 1
