THE MONROE JOURNAL Steffi:."-- Tuesday. Jun 18, 1407. One of the most interesting crimi nal trial ever held in America U do fining on in Idaho. A thug by the name of Orchard, with a long hst of crime to his credit, is the confessed murderer of the liurernor of that State. He U the r"00' "iui and charges that the niurdor was committed at the direction of three officers of the Western Federation of Miners, Haywood, Mover ami lVtti bone, and these men are on trial for Die dted. The most acute conllicts between organized labor and capital, involving bloodshed and terror Lave iccurrtd in that section, and the labor unions regard this prosecution a a device of capital to get these leaders out of the way. For months there have Ixvn statements by men of the union that these men should never be hanged, even if couvicted, and a conviction is likely to result in a conflict. Orchard professes to have lxvn the general murdering ajientof the lalior unions and sas that he also attempted to kill the iovernor of Colorado. Evidently the mandrulibof David son countv thinks he is the whole thing. He may go down to Kalcigh some day and swat the (iovernor or the Supreme Court. Xo telling what extent gt ntleiiien like Lim are likely to go so long us they are allowed to be above the law. A square man may be once in a while called upon to kill a man, but the fellow who has a record for killing, lighting and shooting has mado it because the law- has been laxity administered and he has no fear of it. K very time a court soft-soaps a criminal it adds to crime. Eleven members of the navy, half of them young otlioers lately graJu ated from the naval academy, and one of them a native of Xewbern, X. ('., were drowned in Hampton Heads one night last week. The seamen lielonged to one of the ships station ed at Jamestown and were rundown by a steamer while crossing in a small launch. All on board the launch were lost and all the bodies have not yet been recovered. The plan proposed by Urv. (5. II. Atkinson in a letter in this paper, for a county hospital, puts the ques tion on high ground, and deserves the thoughtful consideration of the people. There is no reason why it might not be carried out. Preacher Cow hided and Made to Leave Town. Clmrl.ltt' i iWrvt r. The following new s item from Fill ton, Kv., printed in the Lmisville Times, an ecning paper published at liouisville, Ky., on the 12th will interest Charlotte people: "Rev. Frank Morton Hawley, pas tor of the First Presbyterian church and one of the most prominent of the ministers of Fulton, was horsewhip ped by W. W. Meadows, a leading capitalist and foremost citizen of this city, and after being Hogged un til he was prostrated, was sent from the city under threats of death should he return. "The shocking affair, which has created the most profound sensation in the history of Fulton, is an after math to the suit for divorce tiled by Mrs. .Meadows a few days ago, her allegations of cruelty and aversonon the part of her husband being gen erally construed as being a direct re sult of her much talked of associa tion with young Haw ley. The llev. Mr. Hawley came to this city some two years ago from Charlotte, X. ('., and becoming at once a most popu lar member of church society through his attractive personal ity, was accept ed as a welcome factor in religious work of all kinds. No breath of gos sip was associated with his name un til the denouement of a fortnight ago when Meadows publicly denounced him in the Meadows Hotel as a wrecker of his, Meadows' home, and ordered him from his hostelry and forbade him his roof. The suit for divorce by Mrs. Meadows followed at once and Hawley left town. "When it became known Monday that the preacher would return home on the midnight train, Meadows, to gether with i few of his friends, all most prominent citizens of the city, quietly met the train, overtook Haw ' ley as he stepped from the station platform, and, securing his wrists with handcuffs, led him to a vacant lot near the depot, where lie was stripped. With three buggy whips he was Hogged, but despite the ter rible agony he uttered no whimper of pain, but again and again declared his entire innocence of any harm. With tears streaming down his cheeks, Meadows applied the lash and upbraided the minister bitterly, but the latter displayed the most ralm nerve, and told his tormentor that, though he blamed him not for his actions, he was committing a ter rible mistake. "The tragic ordeal order. Hawley was placed in t carriage and driven to Pierce, Tenn., three miles from the city, and thre he was placed on an Outgoing passenger train. lie was made to swear that he would never return to Fulton. "The statement of Meadows was issued in the Daily Leader, and in his statement be pleaded justifica tion of bis act, on grounds of the un written law. No arrest hare fol lowed. "Frank Morton Hawley is of fine family, and an earnest young minis ter. Much sympathy is accorded him, and Meadows' act was construed by many to be hasty. Nothing has ever in the history of the little city caused such a shock to society as the whipping The affair is on every ton cue here today. Rev. Mr. Hawley is a son of Dr. F. O. Hawley of this city and is a grad uate of Davidson College, where he stood welL The Charlotte friends of the young man believe that be is in nocent of the charge made against him and hope that the day will soon come when be can acquit himself. It is believed that the man who ac cuses him acted on a sudden im pulse. For a I'akM County Hospital. To th Editor of Tb J.Mtrn! : I write this morning to stir up the pure minds of the citizens of our county, and I hope this communica tion will stir up agitation pro and eon. It is time for us as self-respecting and fraternal citizens of our county to bestir ourselves in the di rection which this communication suggests, namelv, that we should have a County Hospital. 1 like the name of our county and we should show this spirit in all measures that have as their end the relief of suffering humauity or its advancement in the line of progress. I know of no better sight than our present County Home, for a County Hospital. 1 think it would be etieap er and better all arouud to have a new County Home a few miles from town. We have telephone connec tions all through our county, good roads, rural delivery, and we could conduct our Home on a cheaper basis. With the price real estate is bringing in Monroe now and the de sirable section in which the County Home is now located the county could realize a large amount from the sale of our present proerty and put up one of the most modern and comfortable Countv Homes in our State. We could authorize the coun ty commissioners to sell oh all the nroixnv except about lour acres surrounding the buildings. We have some thirty one acres which could be laid oil in lots, except the four I have mentioned, and these lots would bring fancy prices. there is not a citizen in our county who more cheerfully believes in supHirting our Home and its in mates. And let me say just here 1 know of no home anvwhere, and I know several, w here there is a better keeper and a more faithful and ten der assistant in bis w ife, than in our County Home. It has been a source of great joy since becoming a citizen of our county to see the tenderness and tho unceasing attention our poor receive. Hut when a town's growth would be stimulated, when the class of hu manity who needs help as well as our poor, "the sick," have no place to 1h taken but sent to Charlotte, and we can help ourselves, I for one say let us give the county commis sioners the authority to give the Home to the county, not to Monroe, for a hospital, (io'd grant that our citizenship may bestir themselves immediately. We have the furni ture, we need the location and build ing, and we have that also, go w hat is there to hinder our being united as one man and pushing this most needy object to a smly comple tion. Very respectfully your?. (iko. II. Atkinson. A Tragedy In Cabarrus. Cliln Orovf ShhmI, IrtOi, to ChMrluttr olr rr. F.dward Ashby shot and killed Dan Overeasli near Kaunapolis, just over the Cabarrus county line, at !l o'clock this morning and made good his es cape, a posse with bloodhounds are in pursuit of the slayer, but at a late hour tonight no word has come from the pursuers. Overcash and Ashby were broth ers-in-law and the tragedy grew out of a domestic dilliculty about which there is considerable mystery. Par sons w ho have arrived here from the neighborhood where the crime was committed tell the story of the crime and these details are given for what they are worth. Ashby went to the home of Reese Pethel yesterday and accused Peth- el's wife of improper conduct with Overcash, declaring that if Pethel would go with him to the woods he would produce proof of his charges. Pethel accompanied Ashby to the woods but, it is said, Ashby was un able to show the husband proof of the wile s misconduct. Pethel de clared then that the best way to set tle the matter was to interview Over- cash, and Pethel and his wife went to Ashby g home after him. Ashby accompanied the Pethels willingly, but instead of stopping at Pethel s home, where it had been agreed the conference was to be held, the Peth els took him beyond into a thicket, where Ashby was secreted. Ashby stepped out from his hiding place as Overcash approached and shot him dead, immediately taking flight. 1 herd is considerable mystery be hind the crime and it will require much investigation to bring to light the truth. Ashby, it is said, had threatened this morning some hours prior to the tragedy to kill Overcash on sight Suspicion rests upon Pe thel and his wife for complicity in a plot to kill Overcash, and it is pre sumed that they will be arrested on that charge. Sheriff Crowder of Rowan county was informed of the crime this after noon and with a posse and blood hounds undertook the search of Ash by, but thus far without success. Asbby has the reputation of being a desperate character. About four years ago he killed his father, Jim Asbby, noted whiskey transporter, because the father had brutally whip ped his daughter, Edward Ashby 's sister. The elder Ashby was known to have possessed a violent temper, and on this ground chiefly acquitted the son. It is said that the gun which Ashby used this morning is the same weapon with which he killed his father Tonight. If yo would enjoy tomorrow Uk Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tablet tonight.

Jones (lives S5.000 Back to the Bank- Cfearlutlr ttMM, rndar- Fraak IL Jones, the defaulting as sistant cashier of the Charlotte Na tional Bank, yesterday morning en tered a plea of guilty in Federal Court to the several counts in the bill of indictment charging him with "embezzlement, abstraction and mis application" of certain of the bank funds. Xo sentence was imposed by the court, judgment being deferred until after the Fonville case is dis posed of, which comes up for trial Monday. Both cases were to have been called yesterday. The postr ponenient of the Fonville case was due to the absence of one of the coun sel for the defence, Congressman Wylie of Alabama When court convened the big room in the postortiee building was crowd ed. Spectators not only occupied every seat, but tilled the aisles and sat in the windows. All classes and conditions were represented. Bank ofiieials, ministers, merchants, man ufacturers and an unusually large number of lawyers were present A half dozen ladies were iu attendance. K very body was on the qui vive for something sensational to turn up. While nothiug out of the ordinary developed in open court, a little meet ing was held in Judge Boyd's pri vate office while the crowd waited which was of exceeding interest. Jones there restored to the bank $ 5,(0 of the stolen funds. Mr. C. D. Benuett delivered the goods on Jones' behalf and Mr. W. H. 1 witty, cashier, accepted it on behalf of the bank. Judge Boyd and one or two witnesses were the only ones present. Jones is alleged to have stolen a sum which has been variously esti mated. President B. 1. Heath of the Charlotte Xational Bank, in his statement to the public March 2th, last, said that the amonni embezzled was ii$.0U0. Shortlv after this statement wxs made it develoed that an extra shortage had been dis covered of 3.WH. It is now stated on authority that the shortage is over $N),i00. This fact has been known to a few for some tune past, but was never before made public for obvious reasons. As to w hether the shortage is more tlmn SMl OIHI ia not known, (twine to the' fact that it is exceedingly dif ficult to follow some of the accounts, especially the certilicates of deposit, the exact amount of the shortage cannot be given with absolute assur ance. It is now certaiuly more than .S0,(XXI. JONES SENTKSCEli TO SIX EARS. Jones was sentenced Monday to six years, the case of Fonville moved to (ireensboro, and the latter's part ner, Bell, also implicated, arrested. Judge James K. Boyd yesterday afternoon sentenced Frank 11. Jones, the self-confessed emltezler, to serve 0 years in a Federal prison as a meas ure of punishment for having robbed the Charlotte Xational Bank of ap proximately $S0,lKi0, w hile acting in the capacity of teller and assistant cashier last March. The ending of this much talked of case was dramatic in the extreme. Jones himself took the stand, and in a statement full of sensational utter ances told how he had come to fall and detailed the history of his oper at ions from first to last, lvmands made iin him by his distressed mother for needed funds for his in valid father, he said, had led him to take the tirst fatal step. Once start ed he could never recover, sinking deeper and deeper in debt ami ever striving to recoup. His losses he es timated at between ."0,(HKI and . 75,000. Among those to whom be had lost money were 0. Bovce Bell, Bell A Fonville, D. A. Hurley and V. P. Randolph A Co. He implicat ed Percy (i. Fonville, the ex-Char lotte, Ilock Hill and Fort Mill, 8. C, stock broker whom he declared was his partner in business. As a result of his disclosures, another arrest was made last night, that of Boyce Bell, who will be called upon to answer the charges of "aiding and abetting" in this embezzlement. In response to questions, Jones declared that there was much simu lation going on around him, and that this means was the only one by which he could get-neh-quick. Public Picnic.
