The FOSTER CAsE.-Gov. Dix has re-
fused to commute the sentence of Eos
ter, the carhook murderer, and in his
letter to Rev. DIR. Tying declining to in
terfere with the execution of the law,
says some healthy things, and from
which we make the following extract:
With firm conviction that there was
no error in the ruling of the judge at
the trial, and that the evidence fully
warranted the jury in rendering a ver-
dict of guilty of murder in the first de-
gree, there is nothing in the case which
can justly recommend the clemency of
the executive, and he cannot iuterpose
to mitigate the punishment. If he did
disregard the evidence and the judgment
of the courts, the inevitable effect would
be to impair the force of judicial deci-
sions, and break down the barriers which
law has set up for the protection of hui
man life. So far as it depends on me,
the supremacy of the law will be infex-
IDLY maintained. Every man who strikes
murderous blow at the life of his fell
low must be made to feel that his own is
in certain peril. If we cannot, by firm
ness of purpose, effect this, we may soon
be forced TO acknowledge the dishearten-
ing truth that there is nothing so cheap
or SO Unprotected as human life.

Extensive Mall Robberies.

The mails from st Louis to the East
have been robbed several times during
the past two months Drafts to the
amount of $4,000, sent by the Third
national bank to the national bank of
Commerce, New York, on the night of
January 81, failed to reach their destin-
alton, but have not since been presented.
The mails of the 14th and 25th of Feb
ruary were also robbed, but it was not
known that any drafts from st Louis
were stolen until few days ago, when
information came from Buffalo that a
DART for $4,000 issued by bank here
in favor of j. @. Aver a. Co., New York.
had been presented to an express compa-
ny in Buffalo with the name of that firm
forged The forgery was not discovered
until after the draft had been paid Up
on receipt of this information, Gen.
Smith, postmaster Mt 81 Louis, commence
ed Investigations, and ascertained that
the mail of January 81, did not go
through, and that the maiLb.x was rob-
bed of several letters, apparently be-
tween st Louis and indianapolis. There
is no clew yet to the robbers. The pay
ment of drafts is said to have been
brought as follows: A man supposed to
be engaged in these robberies came to
Buffalo accompanied by lady dressed
in the HEIGHT of fashion, who he repre-
sented was his wife. He rented elegant
apartments and formed business relations
with an express company. He sent sew
eral drafts by this company for eollec-
ton, and one for $4,000 on st Louis
bank, which was genuine. In this way
he gained the confidence of the express
company, who supposed him to be
wealthy. 1t is understood that they
cashed the $4,000 draft for him on his
entrusting it to them for collection at

neath Of Ch,er Justice bellows.

| Death oil thiet Custicc Dc'i""s.
The Hon. Henry A. Bellows, Chiei
Justice of the Supreme Court of New
Hampshire, was found dead in his bed
on Tuesday morning of last week. lie
had retired the night before feeling a
little unwell, but his indisposition was SO
slight that no grave apprehensions were
entertained. About FIVE Tuesday morn
ing his daughter, Mrs. Sanborn. went to
his room and found him asleep in death.
A pleasant expression rested on his coun'
tenance, and he had evidently, without
struggle, passed to the unseen world.
Judge Bellows was born in Walpole,
N. H., Oct. %, 1903. He attended the
academy at Windsor, studied law at
Westminster with the late Hon. VIM. 9.
Bradley, and was admitted to the bar at
Newfane in 1926, and soon after COM
menced practice at Walpole, but remov-
ed to Littleton in 1928, where he resided
till he removed to Concord in 1850. In
1859 he was appointed an associate JUS
tice of the New Hampshire Supreme
Judicial Court, and in October 1869, he
succeeded Judge Perley as Chief Justice.
He gained high reputation both as
lawyer and judge, and in all the walks
of life was conscientious and faithful in
the discharge of every duty, and no
man in the State enjoyed in a greater
degree the confidence and esteem of his
fellow citizens.
Judge Bellows was prominently iden-
tifie6 with the Unitarian denomination,
and was the first president of the New
Hampshire Unitarian Association. He
married Catherine w. Bellows, of Wal
pole, June 8, 1886, who died many years
ago. He leaves three children-one
daughter, Mrs. Charles P. Sanborn OF
Concord, and two sons, Josiah Bellows,
who resides in Washington, and John A.
D6lIUWs dsSUCIdbS SulJOT VI tue iLiboidl
Christian in New York city. He has one
brother living, William j. Bellows of
Littleton, and Rev. DIR. Bellows of New
York city, is a cousin.
His funeral was largely attended at
Concord, last Friday, by the people,
the bar and State officials, and the re-
mains we're brought to Walpole the same
day for interment, where they arrived at
o'clock, P. NJ. Brief exercises were
had at the cemetery-remarks by Rev.
DR.. Bellows of New York, and prayer
by Rev. w. o. White of Keene. The
remains were deposited in a tomb. There
was something peculiarly fitting in con-
veying the body to that place for comit-
tai to the grave 1t was his native town,
and there sleep the remains of below
ed wife and children gone before.

A MURDERER AND HIS PUNISHMENT
Albert Keller, aged q, killed Ida Spen-
GER, his cousin, aged IA, at Syracuse, N.
Y, Monday afternoon, 18th. He is a
Canadian, and had been visiting Miss
Spencer about three weeks. Mrs Spen-
Ger went to Oswego Monday, and left her
daughter in the house with two old la
dies. Keller went into the kitchen,
where Ida was at work, and. taking a
short iron bar used for breaking open
boxes, he struck her on the head. She
fell to the floor, when he repeatedly
struck her on the head, beating her
brains out. Keller then left the house
and ran down toward the Central rail-
road depot, from which a freight tain
had just started for the east. Keller at
tempted to jump upon the hind end of
the caboose, when, missing his hold, he
fell back upon the track. His head
struck the rail, his neck was broken, and
he was instantly killed. The motive
which prompted Keller to kill Miss
Spencer is not known. 1t is said that he
might have made improper advances to
her, which she repealed, and that he
killed Der fearing she would divulge

Lynching A Murderer.
SAN FRANCISCO. Mar

DAN r FRANCISCO, March Is.
The lynching of Torpey, the murderer
of Mrs. Nichols, near Monterey, last
night, created great excitement in that
city. The mob fastened rope around
Torpey's neck and compelled him to
stand in the box of wagon. He was
then told he must say all he wanted to
say, for his time had come. Torpey ad-
dressed the crowd for half an hour. The
lynchers then drove the wagon away,
and left the man hanging by his neck to
limb of a tree, his feet almost touching
the ground. The crowed seized the rope
and drew Torpey up higher, and several
of the lynchers drew pistols and fred
into the body of the dying man. At
last accounts the body was hanging, and
the mob watching the place. The affair
caused intense excitement. For several
hours armed men held possession of
Monterey, and declared they would take
Torpey safely to Salina for trial. The
Jail guards offered no resistance. No
shots were fred and no one injured.
Torpey's wife, sister and mother were
near the Jail and witnessed the whole
affair, and begged with prayers and tears
the mob not to injure him. The leaders
promised that Torpey should not be hurt.
The mob numbered over three hundred,
and we're heavily armed. Torpey's rela-
tives live in this city, and are well
