On Sunday night the guards at the Jail
heard a loud noise coming from the cell
occupied by Samuel Poston and Frank
Graves. On going to see what was the mat
ter they found Poston " a terrible fright.
He had seen two men dressed in white
standing in the door of his cell One
seemed to resemble the form of young Scho-
Held, who was taken out and hung by
POston and others. The guard had consid-
cradle trouble in quieting him. and couldn't
convince him that no one had been at the
door of his cell. The prisoner was much
disturbed, and has been apparently in great
mental suffering ever since the alleged ap-
pearance Of his victim. 1t is thought that
It will result in the total loss OF the prison
er's reason While this would be a terrible
visitation direct from the hand of an aveng-
ing God, yet to let him, and his confederate
in crime, suffer the full penalty OF the law
might possibly better subserve the ends OF
juNtico.

Remarkable Escape from Instant
Death.

A Child Falls a Distance Of Six stories
Remarkable Escape from Instant
Death.
IFrom the Louisville Ledger.l
Yesterday afternoon, between one and
two o'clock, q number OF small children
were playing upon the fourth floor Of the
Gait House, and one of them, Freddy
Giles, a bright, interesting boy of about
nine years, son of Mr.. j. Giles, Of the firm
of S. +. Suit & Co., Main street, between
Second and Third, taking advantage of the
upon the hand-rail of the staircase and at
tempted to slide down, but lost his balance
and fell to the floor of the laundry room,
six stories below, and a distance Of between
ninety and one hundred feet.
The stairway is in the northwestern cor
ner of the building, and is Il winding stair
way, built for the use Of the employees Of
the house, and also as a means of escape in
case of fire additional to the broad flights
of stairs and the elevator in front of the
building. There is = space of four feet in
width and ten feet in length between the
ratings Of the stairway, extending from the
roof to the ground floor, and through THE
marrow, deep well the body Of young Giles
dashed with frightful speed. Az examin-
alton showed that on the staircase on the
second floor, n distance of about thirty feet
from the point from which the lad fell, his
body first struck, breaking of portion of
the molding of the step over an inch i'll
thickness. The fall was then unbrokcn
until the floor OF the laundry room, seventy
feet below, was reached, where it seems
that his head struck one OF the bannsters,
which are nearly two inches in diameter;
and of hard wood, breaking it in two.
The children, who alone witnessed the
fightful fall, ran screaming for assistance
to the nurse. Colonel johnson, the man
ager of the Calf House, was the first to hear
81 the occurrence. The parents Of the I'M
fortunate boy were seated in the dining
room, which was filed with guests. and
Colonel johnson, with rare presence Of
mind, succeeded in getting them out Of the
room without creating scene. A physician
was immediately summoned, and with Col
qpel johnson proceeded to the laundry
room, which is two floors below the office.
There, at the foot of the railing, was found
the bruised and mangled form of little
Freddy. He was unconscious, but strange
to say, still breathed. Upon examination it
was found that both ankles were broken,
and that one arm was broken in five places,
and that he had received severe cut in the
hack part of his head. His injuries were
dressed as speedily as possible, and in
few hours he recovered his consciousness,
and last night at late hour he was still
alive, with possibility Of ultimate re-
cOVery,
