ASHLAND D A ILY TIDINGS OUT OUR WAY
“ The way of the transgressor is hard.”
We congratulate the federal postal inspectors
and other officials who were responsible for the
b rin g in g to justice of the three D ’Autremont broth
ers for the dastardly and cold blooded murder they
committed.
Those inspectors whose tenacity of purpose and
steadfast determination brought to the bar of justice
the thfee cold blooded murderers arouse in deep
admiration of the forces of justice.
Without loss of interest, and without abatement
of determination, the search for the suspected per
petrators of the most cold blooded murder in the
annal« of railroad history were hounded,
'
If the D ’Autremonts had alive in them the least
bit of conscience these three years they were hound
ed, moving from place to place—ever fearful of
capture, ever followed by a deadening fear must
have been most horrible.
Then came the asounding developments in the
case—a case of the most perfect chain of circumstan
tial evidence imaginable.
Hugh Was captured, the noose dangled about his
neck as experts in the deduction of crime told of
what they had found—this scrap of evidence, that
scrap of evidence which must necessarily mean that
this thing was true. Many folks were sceptical. It
was like a geometrical puzzle. The thing had been
nicely fitted together. It was a powerful case, but
it was all circumstantial.
Then came the conviction of Hugh, the astound
ing confessions. The details of the murder as por
trayed by the prosecuting attorneys had not been
too vivid, too cold-blooded or too graphic. The con
fessions dovetailed exactly- with those deductions
of the criminologists and others who had worked on
With that high effeciency in bringing to justice
criminals of this type, and the splendid determina
tion of officials to solve those confounding mysteries
it is a mighty certain thing that murder will indeed
“ out.”

The trial is ended. The criminals have been
brought to justice. They must pay for their crime.
And the people can do naught else than admire
and thank those who were responsible for the solu
tion.
Why Fewer Walk Now
The modern hiker is one who walks to the edge
of town to “ bum” a ride in the first hospitable auto
mobile to come his way. But perhaps there is some
thing other than indolence responsible for the dwind
ling number of walkers.
That other reason may be that automobiles-haye
left no room along the country highways»for the ped
estrian. Where there were once walking or bridle
paths meandering along beside the carriage road
there are now hard surfaced motor highways broad
ened out over both nmdway and pathway. If the
walker has ceased to walk he has done so partially
because he takes his life in his hands when he takes
to the open road and because, no springy path being
left him, he must pound along hard roads or tres
pass on somebody’s meadow.
So intent has the public been upon building im
proved motor and trucking highways that sight has
been lost of the need of preserving the old footpaths
and providing new ones. It is virtually true that the
pedestrian has vanished from the open spaces, but it
might not be so if there were some open spaces loft
for the pedestrian’s use.
Since walking is of such immeasurable value in
the preservation of good health and in the preven
tion of disease it is a national calamity that the
walking paths are disappearing. Paths abounding in
natural beauty might at least make walkers out of
the motorists at the end of the motor trip.
W e wonder just what the D ’Autremonts mean
