A PHILOSOPHICAL Murderer,

Wilson, the murderer of Warden Will
lard OF the Connecticut State Prison,
has written letter to Jailor Fem, of
up his attempt to starve himself to death
He saws
of YOU would make an estimate of
your probable income for the past year,
you must not include fee for the hang
ing of James Wilson for that is some
thing YOU will never get. Not that it
would be q pleasure to cheat Won ont of
anticipated profits. but there are those
who would consider it feast TO see nv
neck broken-but that is n sight no NOR
tai man will eyer see. They dare not
put me to death without a trial and if
was fairly tried and condemned. would
never allow any one the satisfaction of
seeing me hanged. The Constitution of
Connecticut says | must he tried by an
impartial Jury.
my jurv stated under oath that they
were not impartial hence the verdict
and the sentence based upon II is null
and void But the ruling Of the Judge
refusing to allow me to show the provo
cation which caused the alleged murder
rendered both the verdict and the SEN
tence clearly illegal Ny long fast was
not bl oxen because was hunprv-I had
passed that place-but because ] had got
new idea, and such n one rs would
never have been born of full stomach.
When man has tasted nine davs, the
grossnesS of his natural condition be-
comes worked off. his brain either then
gets fuddled, or he sees things with n
spiritual clearness beyond the ken of sen.
sual mortals.
"When man is in full blood and
health. with his mind occupied by vari-
ous thoughts such as daily occur. he has
n restricted vision. One thing may
crowd another particularly if he is in
trouble, so that his ideas will get con
fused, and the object he seeks to attain
cannot successfully be attained. But you
| take a man who has resolved to starve
himself to death and goes for nine days
without food, till his body grows weak
and he has passed the point of pain
nearly tranquil and self-satisfed condi
| tion-then his intellect becomes clearer
he sees as he never saw before, MS mer
see who draw near to the grave he has
n vision which none can have who mr.,
pressed by the burdens of the flesh. Al
] got into this state-a state of calm re-
pose-my mind was frightened, aud il
was then that an idea had not befor,
conceived suddenly flashed into being
and ] determined not to die.
