It grows thicker as the drift .is fol

are entertained that the vein may
grow thick enough to be of commer

Their Talk Will Not Go.
The attempt of 'some people to
smooth over the disgusting crime of
Alonzo Moore by talkiDg about his
marrying his victim, will not find any
willing ears about the couit house.
The little girl is but a child, and in
appearance is not a day over twelve
years of age. To marry her to this
burly brute in order to save him from
a merited term in the penitentiary is
revolting to every lover of fairness
and common decency. The girl says
she is anxious to go home end live
creditably with her parents,
thus showing the untruthfulness
of Moore's sympathizers, who
claimed she had been mistreated
by her father. The efforts of
some people to thwart justice will
not bc allowed to have any weight
with tffe prosecution or with the court
officer? and Mr. Moore may rest as
sured (hat his opportunity for a so
journ in the stato penitentiary remain
rjuiie iluttcring.
