The Columbia Journal argues the Board of Mayor and Aldermen erred by seeking a new L and N depot with taxpayer funds. It urges readers to investigate the deal, warns of higher taxes if the railroad’s demands and an expanded, ornamental depot are pushed, and calls for enforcing the law rather than subsidizing excess.

The trial raised questions of an alleged joint death pact versus Nichol's solo act while Burnett was intoxicated, amid broader remarks on reconcentration policy in Cuba and comparisons to South Africa and the Philippines.
