eRAv11N, THE MURDERER.
He Attempts Suicide.

The prisoner Henry Gravlin, convicted
at Woodstock oil Wednesday of the muir
der of Herbert o. White, passed a very
uneasy highland Thursday morning he en-
deavored to obtain Of another prisoner a
razor, evidently for the purpose of suicide.
During the morning on Thursday be seized
one mar and endeavored to compel him to
produce his razor, but all attempts of this
kind failing, he took a piece of looking
glass, and retiring to a cell by himself made
a fearful cash in the left side of his neck,
partially severing the jugular vein. The
alarm was at once given to the keeper and
physicians summoned. AS the physician
was entering the jail, Gravlin was endeav-
orlng to make his way down the stairs lead
ing 10 the upper tier of cells with the blood
flowing from the wound and besmearing
the floor and stairs so that they resembled
a slaughter house. lie was Immediately
placed upon a couch ard every effort made
TO stop the ii0@ of blood, but before sue.
ceediug In this he became extremely weak
and deliiiOus, yet said he was feeling well
and perfectly happy. Finally the wound
was closed and the flow of blood checked.
lie PARTIALLY %CoNFEssEs.
While in a delicious state he freely talked
about the murder ard maintained his inno-
cence of the crime although stating that he
was a party to the arrangement by which
it was perpetrated. He said it was ar
ranged between himself and two of his
hired men that they should start for Glare
mont in the evening, and he should then
send White home. At q convenient place
on the road they were to waylsy and
| murder him. Further than this he did not
say, and it is a matter of conjecture
whether he gives the facts as they occurred
or whether this is a story on which he had
had been dwelling with n view of attempt
ing to shield himself from the gallows. He
is very low and If kept quiet and prevented
from reopening the wound there is thought
to be a bare chance of his recovery.

Backing Away from Reeohar.

A New York letter to the Springfield
Republican a The new ,association of
Congregational ministers exites comment.
II is composed of Drs. Stors, Burlington,
Taylor, scudder, Prof. Carter, and q num-
her of the other most prominent and re-
spected clergymen of this city and Brook.
Ign, who were disguised VITA the action of
the old association in whtewashing the
scandal and giving Beecher a gratuitous
certificate of character. 1t lisa flank move
ment which shows the real feeling of the
best representatives Of Congregational re-
ligion In reference TO the scandal and their
estimate of the Plymouth pastor. The
movement virtually leaves Hecher out In
the cold, for with these departures the old
association has neither members nor
weight. There is nothing moro terrible
nor resistless than the silent diff of pub
lie opinion. The sale of BeeCher's pews,
Wednesday night, tells its own story. Ia
1875, they brought $40 3l9; last year they
sold for $63 $50 but, this year, they
nc ,lized only S4S .42l-a falling of of Sl5,
259 IN a single year of exceptional quiet,
aud $21 1903 10 two years, and, in spite Of
strenuous efforts to keep the receipts up t.
the old figures, shows the steady deptecia.
ton of Plymouth stock, and all that 1t i'm
plies. But Beecher is building a supert
mansion at Peekskill, and is putting the re
ceipts of his lecture into it, ard the build
ing goes up as the money comes in. But
judging from the articles in some of TIT
papers in the places where be lectures, it !
plain that he earns his money.
