DEPUTIES HELD
IAS MOB LEADERS
$ccused of Lynching Their
Prisoner nd Are in Jail
Charged With Murdr
Selma, Ala., Sept. 8. One month ago
a negro, Edward Bell, murdered an
other negro at Sardis, In this county,
and was committed to jail without
bail. Late in the afternoon three
white deputies started with their pris
oner for Selma to place him in JaP.
The deputies arrived In Selma late at
night and reported to Sheriff Black
well that a mob of negroes had over
taken them and taken the prisoner
from their custody and lynched him.
Sheriff Blackwell, after an investi
gation fc&me to the conclusion that
ther deputies were implicated in the
lynching. They were arrested and
committed to jail charged with mur
der in the first degree. The sheriff
learned that a negro, Eugene Roberts,
who was - supposed to know something
of the lynching had left for parts un
known. , He sent out a general alarm
and . suceded in apprehending the
negro in Montgomery.
He was brought to Selma and has"
made, a confession in which he declares
that the mob of negroes did not tak&
the negro Bell from the officers, but
the officers themselves were the ring
leaders in the lynching. The confes
sion of Roberts was made In the pri
vate ' office of Sheriff ; Blackwell, ; and
the negro then waived a prelimianry
hearing and was returned to jail.
The three, white deputies are prom
inent in the county and state affairs.
In addition to the three white men,
the sheriff has arrested seven negroes
who took part in the lynching. Other
arrests are expected within a few days
that will create a sensation. One
prominent white man has left for parts
unknown.

to which he has given utterance during

headquarters tonight there was no lit
tle gratification over the manner in
which Judge Parker delivered "himself.
His speech was considered a happy hit
by ail who discussed it. There is a
strong feeling here that Judge Parker
should give more frequent expression
to his views, such as he delivered to
day. These friends of Judge Parker
do not wish to see him tour any part
of the country in a spectacular way,
but they are of the opinion that it
would be -wisdom on his part to speak
more frequently on public questions to

front porch campaign," such as was
conducted by the late Mr. McKinley
at Canton in 1896, would, in the opinion
of many Democratic leaders. nrtr
greatly to the Democracy's cause in
this contest. In this way they believe
that the American people would learn
to know the man as ha is and would
irresistably be attracted to him.
Depredations of Troops
Numerous depredations on the part
of the troops at Manassas, Va., the
scene of the army maneuvers', are re
ported by correspondents. The two
latest instances involve the second
Connecticut and the second South Car
olina regiments. The remedy that
General Corbin has applied will proba
bly put an end to such performances.
"When he was informed that members
of the second South Carolina had en
tered a store at Wellington and cleaned
out the stock .the; commanding general
directed that on' Saturday, which is
pay day, a sufficient sum shall be de
ducted from the "regimental pay to
cover the storekeeper's loss.

the race question was the issue here.
He called upon , the white men to re
deem the district. He said furthei--more
that the Republicans in their
platform had made the issue by threat
ening to cut down southern represen
tatives. This he claimed - would re
sult in a loss of electors and give the
Republicans every advantage in elect
ing a president. Congressman Mudd,
Republican, now represents the district.

New York, Sept.' 8.Representative
Cowherd of Missouri, chairman of the

committee, had a talk with Chairman
Taggart today. He said afterwards:
"I am confident that we will have a

tricts than the Republicans have, and
our chances are more than even in:
many of the doubtful districts, if Par
ker is elected there is no doubt that
a Democratic House will go In with
