and triumphant vindication of the Defen-1

Au Exteusive Conspiracy.
Rev. E. Smith, of The Mansfield (O.)
Statesman, hasividence that the Brother
hood of Thieves, the existence of which
' was proven on a recent trial for burglary,
i in Lake County, Ohio, extends over eve-
j ry State in the Union. He says :
; iWe are aware of the existence of said
societv, bv the confession of one of its
lor sucn a Drotnernoou. ne stated that

; theft, counterfeiting and murder, and to
j protect each other from the fangs of the
! law, by being witnesses for each other,
j and getting on juries when they could.
1 Death, he said, was the penalty of any
! betrayal of their secrets or plans, or ot
, any of the brotherhood, or of any infidtl
ity to their secret obligations,
He further states that this societv is
extended into every State in the Union
has branches and high officers in all tho
States that its members were numerous
and respectable, many of them occupying
important stations: and, Having a wide
influence, Some are members of churches
and church officers, and attend to the
' forms of religion, such as asking a bless
! ing at the table, and attending to family
worship. These statements were made
in confidence under circumstances calcu
lated to leave little or no doubt of their
truth. The name of this humble penitent
confessor dare not be given, as he would
certainly be put to death if his confession
should come to the knowledge of thti
brotherhood.
There can be no doubt of the existence
of this society, and it is a fearful state of
things, and shows to what uses secrecv
can be put. To have secret oath-bound
and banded robbers, thieves and murder
ers mixed up with the community and
entering into families and spying out all
our precious things, and at the same
time praying with us and going to the
A. -i
stactred communion, is truly a horrible
state of society. But so it is; we know
I not the danScr to wbich thls alarm. J
