"FINE MERCHANT TAILORING =
Washington, April 27.—Senator 1
P. Gore lias received a letter from a
man living in the senator - own state,
who has been apointe«l a postmaster
and whose confirmation the senator
has held tip in the senate, threatening
blackmail unless opposition to the
confirmation is withdrawn.
The letter came by registered mail.
It has been shown to a number of
senator- who have* to do with the
confirmation of officers, and without
exception they have cxpre--cd their
indignation. It may lead to an in-
vestigation and prosecution. Senator
Gore made the following statement:
"These threats have no terror- for
me. This is not the first time in un-
official life that an effort has been
made to freighten 111c from tile post
of duty. No threat and no injury
either to my person or my reputa-
tion has or ever will drive or drag
me from the path of duty. 1 nevei
weigh personal welfare in the scale
with official obligations. 1 would
rather deserve a good name without
enjoying it. than to enjoy a good
name without deserving it.
The senator absolutely decline- to
state the name of the person wli ■
sent the letter, and as there are live
postoffice appointments in the state
that have been held tip, the only con-
clusion that can be drawn is from
the statement that the guilty one
lives in the senator's immediate see
lion of the state. The appointment-
held up are frank V. Wright, at Law
ton; (i. I. H.nnrick, at Tuttle: Job
liyrd, at Wagoner: \Y M. Walker
at Stillwater, and I d Butler, at l)u
rant.
Senator (lore was espeeialy activi
in holding up the confirmation o
Wright's appointment. I lie other
he took no special part in.
Ada, Okla., April JO.—Tomorrow
morning the special grand jury, or-
dered through instructions from <io\
ernor Haskell, to investigate the
lynching of Jim Miller. Jesse West,
Joe Allen and W T. Hurrell April 10.
will commence hearing evidence. At-
torney General \\c>t following the
wishes of the governor, will conduct
the examination of witnesse-.
There lias been considerable talk
of another lynching during the past
twelve hours and all centered around
the fact that Oscar I Viler, the alleg
ed accessory to the murder of A. A.
1'obbitt and whose confession is said
to have been the primary cause of the
lynching of the four men, together
with Edward and Davis Johnson, all
three of whom were taken to the 1 < -
cumseh jail for safe keeping several
days ago have been returned to tin-
city. The Johnson brothers are charg-
ed with the brutal murder of 1. 11
I'utman. at Mien, la-t January and
up to thi- time there ha- been no
trial of their c.t-e- I lie delay is -aid
men have been returned, every pr.
caution is being taken to pi event
their death at the hands of a second
I mob.
More than two hundred witnesse-
have been summoned to appear In-
fore the grand jury and every effort
will be made to at least -ccure in
dietmcnts against the leader- of the
mob.
Officers, however, state openljl that
they have no hope of reaching the
members of the mob owing to the
fact that at the present time m t the
slightest whisper has been heard
which would point to the guilt of i
j -ingle individual. In fact the grand
jury will be working on a blind trial
