942 - L. Dec. 15; ed: 2/1 - Much has been said about British and Canadian
sympathy with the Rebellion. The decision made in the case of the St.
Albans raiders is outrageous and has aroused the indignation of the
people. These robbers and cutthroats, through the judge's decision were
permitted to go free and unpunished. "Never was there a grosser and more
flagrant insult offered to our nation. The time is coming, however, when
the Canadian authorities who now abet and sympathize with robbery, arson,
and murder will be compelled to make restitution a hundredfold." (4)

943 - L Dec. 16; ed: 2/1 - The reported sensation in Canada over the re-
lease of the St. Albans raiders is an excellent example of diplomacy.
"We predict that the judge who rendered the decision will be retained
in office and the raiders will never be recaptured. Meanwhile the de-
nunciation in Canada of this act tho' insincere, shows that its out-
rageous character is appreciated even there." (3)

945 - L Dec. 21; ed:2/1 - The release of the St. Albans raiders by the
Canadian authorities has caused great excitement in Canada and the
United States. The order of General Dix, authorizing military officers
to pursue and capture the raiders, was applauded by the press in most
cases. "These facts are evidence beyond all doubt that Canada has
learned to respect the Republic, and to tremble in anticipation of its
righteous vengeance." - (8)
