Even the Sea Serpent Looks Small
Beside Ii.
Faren Potts, aged forty-five, Is
woodman residing about two miles
from Warwick furnace. For the past
six months he has been clearing a
tract Of land for his brother in law,
about one-half mile from his home.
He is a stalwart, broad -shouldered
man, and wears his hair close cut.
He has a clean face and heavy jaws.
On Tuesday and Wednesday OF this
week Mr.. Potts passed throug proba-
bly, one OF the most terrible ordeals
Of its kind that any human being was
ever called upon to endure.
And all In the presence OF his wife
and four children. Wednesday Of
this week he left home as usual early
in the morning, taking his dinner
with him in kettle. as he generally
remained all day. He says he worked
until noon, ate his dinner. and at one
o'clock worked on as usual. About
three In the afternoon he became
drowsy, and the heat was oppressive.
AS he was working by the job he con-
cluded to take a nap. He rested In
the shade OF a large oak tree near a
ciump OF rocks, his head lying on his
coat near projecting rock. How
long he slept Mr.. Potts does not state,
but suddenly he was awakened by a
choking sensation. He jumped up,
and, as he jumped. realized that he
had his mouth open during his nap.
There was a strange taste In his
mouth, and his throat felt raw. Sud-
denly he elected about a half a cup
full of slime, and for time he thought
he had been poisoned. He felt very
sick, and he vomited copiously and
had pains. After vomiting he felt as
II he was going to strangle. because
he says, something worked into his
throat from his stomach, and ther
suddenly disappeared. Minutes seem
ed hours to him, and he says he was
so terribly scared that perspiratior
stood In great beads on his forehead
and be trembled with fear. He is about
six feet two inches tall, and weighs
1913 pounds. He worked no more
that afternoon, but went to the spring
and filled his kettle with water
When he stopped to dip 1t out he say
he distinctly felt something twisting
and moving in his stomach. Then b,
felt 1t possible that during his sleep b

THEODOSIA BURR.
The Story OF Her Fate Which is Accept.
ed by Surviving Relatives.

ed by Surviving Relatives.
['To the Editor of the Washington Post
Isee by the Chicago Inter Ocean OF
June %, and the Chicago Times Of
July z, that the mystery connected
with the death of Theodosia Burr ALL
ston had been again brought to pub
lie notice. AS the article in these
papers was taken from the Post, /
write to you because my story corro-
borates it.
In 1850 an old man who, years be-
fore, had been sailor, an occupant
Of the Cass County poor house, Cass-
opolis, Michigan, in conversation
with lady, the wife OF Methodist
minister, about his past life, filled
with wrong doing and crime, said
that the act which caused him the
most remorse was the tipping OF the
plank on which Mrs. Allston, the
daughter OF Aron Burr, walked into
the ocean.
Said he:" I was a sailor on q private
vessel. We captured the vessel In
which this lady was. When told she
must walk the plank into the ocean
she asked for few moments alone,
which was granted. She came for
ward when told that her time had ex :
pired, dressed beautifully in white,
the loveliest woman / had ever seen.
Calmly she stepped upon the plank.
With eyes raised to the heavens, and
hands crossed reverently upon her
bosom, she walked slowly and firmly
into the ocean without an apparent
tremor. Had 1 refused to perform
my work, as L wished with all my
heart had, my death would have
been sure and certain"
This is the testimony OF an almost
| dying man, the confession of the
most terrible act OF his life. 1t seems
to me when an old man, bemoaning
his life, filled with sin, makes such a
confession, without any provocation
whatever than the unburdeDing OF
his soul during his preparation fol
another life-fo death came soon
after-that there must be truth in
his statement.
The lady 10 whom the confession
was made repeated it 20 my grand
mother, whose maiden name was
Mary Edwards, and who was cous'
In OF Aaron Burr, the story as l have
told it, as she had frequently hearC
her speak OF the mystery concerning
the death OF Mrs. Allston.
To US the winding sheet OF the
beautiful Theodosia Burr was no
alone the furious, merciless waves
but a shroud OF the purest white, ar.
rayed in her own faultless taste, fo
her own burial. To US it was NOT the
cruel ocean, but the hard heart o
man that robbed America OF one o
its most beautiful daughters ant
most heroic of women.

the President will reconsider and recall
the Devens letter and continue the same

A Washington dispatch of February
