A Radical paper in Pennsylvania
pays the following tribute to the lately
defunct Radical Legislature of that
State "With heavy hearts and sorrow
ing countenance they bent their steps
from the scene of their debauchery, aud
after casting long lingering look upon
the venerable capitol, they plodded
homeward to meet their constituents.
/ watched them file out like SO many
condemned criminals marching to their
fate, and it was painful to reflect that
those who could 60 home with the hope
of being welcomed with approval by
their people were exceptions to the rule.
Never before in the history of the State
was such depth of degradation attain
ed by any similar body, and so shame
less have they been that men, women
and children point to them as blistered
monuments Of debauchery. They have
gone to their last account with the peo-
pie, and may God have mercy on them,
for the people won't"
A murder, committed in Chicago in
October last, has just been brought to
light. A Mrs. Miller, an inmate of a
disrcputable house, was sent up for
robbery committed in the house. She
felt rather hurt by it, as she said the
robbery was committed by the mistress
of the proprietor, Stockton, called Nan
Jones, and not by herself, and gave
some faint intimations, to an inmate of
the Jail, of a murder committed by Stock
ton. This inmate, when released, mar
rated the conversation to n policeman,
who set about investigating the affair.
1t was ascertained that on that October
night a well dressed stranger stopped
at the house, and retired with Mrs. Mil
Ter, to whom he represented himself as
being from New York. She says that
shortly after midnight, when the stran-
ger had fallen asleep, Stockton, preceded
by his mistress bearing a light, entered
the room, both on tip toe. She stated
that Stockton came straight to the bed
side, and while the woman Nan Jones
held the light, he drew knife and stab
bed the all-unconscious sleeper to the
heart The poor victim died without a
sign. She states that then, quietly and
carefully avoiding any noise, the assas-
sin wrapt the lifeless body in the blood
stained quilt and by the help of his as
sistant bore it below stairs to the cellar,
where it was buried. An overcoat and
ninety dollars were the proceeds of the
crime. The investigation is still being
prosecuted.
