John &. Meecc.

About nine years ago, John C.. Niece
was put on trial In this city, for the
murder Of Harvey Rude. whose dead
body was found lying beneath the Big
Muddy bridge. There was chain of
circumstantial evidence against Niece
that was complete, when taken in con.
nection with the testimony of one
Aaron 5. Trip; but incomplete and in
sufficient without Trips testimony.
Many persons believed that Tripp who
was under indictment at the time, for
attempting to throw train OF ears from
the track swore falsely, and so beliey-
ing, held Niece as innocent But the
court thought otherwise, ard Niece was
sentenced to be hanged. At the hour Of
midnight, preceding the day fixed for
his execution, the associate editor of this
paper took down Meece's confession. In
that confession he declared himself inno-
cent, aud requested us to be present at
his execution, TO receive the same assu-
rance from him when he stood on the
brink OF eternity. After every arrange.
ment had been made for his execution.
notice was received by the Sheriff
committing the sentence from death to
Imprisonment for life. Thereupon Niece
was conveyed to Joliet, where, on the
9Th instant, he died, as announced by us
yesterday. On his death bed he declared
that he was innocent Of the murder laid
to his charge and expressed the belief
that time would yet yindicate his limo
cence by disclosing Harvey Rude's
murderer.
We make these remarks that the reader
may gain better understanding of the
communication on this subject published
by us yesterday. hAi HgI3

gramme, as published in the Bulletin
yesterday evening, was carried out, in
volying about two hours and q half Of
the evening. The president read his In
augural, announcing that he assumed
the ''presidential chair" for the ninth
time, with implicit confidence lin his
ability to successfully manage the affairs
Of the company. He reviewed at length
the history of the company, its present
financial condition, showing It to be the
possessor at this time Of $4,000 worth of
unincumbered real estate, machinery
and bonds, ETC., but stating that II the
city failed to respond TO the demand for
an appropriation to cover accrued and
accruing expenses, he advised the COM
pany TO dissolve. He complimented the
members and subordinate officers, assur-
ing them collectively that they had set
examples which other fire companies
might profitably follow. The establish
ment Of library for "young Arabs" was
spoken of, and allusion made to the beset-
ments and temptations to which the youth
are subjected, the speaker remarking
that In the year 1S42 he was loafing
about an engine house, playing poker
and INDUCING in other enervating pas
times himself. AS cure for these vi
tiating indulgences he urged the library.
The Hon. n. w. Webb, Hon. ID. J.
