Congress Debates Probing Houston Trial and Privilege Breach
The House considers a select committee to investigate possible fraud in Indian rations contracts and whether the President knew of it. Members clash over assigning the probe to Indian Affairs or a special panel while a letter from a Davis ally and cross-examinations raise concerns over parliamentary privilege and intimidation.

The Fated Mina Sentenced in A Dreadful Execution Scene
A crowded Cumberland County court last Tuesday heard the death sentence for Mina. Counsel read a prisoner written petition in imperfect English as the judge, unnerved, pronounced the doom. The scene stirred the assembled crowd and revealed Mina’s desire for family reconciliation and priestly absolution amid tragic circumstances. A separate report from Daylestown notes a deadly timber-fall accident in Kentucky killing three men and wounding others, including a boy, with one survivor, a 14-year-old named William G. Perdue, lying gravely hurt.
