4 BROKEN HEART.
One OF the Train Robbers Dies ~
Death OF Despair, A Victim Of
Sensational Liter.
AtpPe
Aykansas Gazette. 9Th inst

| A very sad death occurred in the pen
itentiary yesterday. All deaths are sad
The death of the old man, around who's.
bed family assemblies, is sad. TAt
death OF an infant, whose cold lips ar,
sealed by kiss of mothers devotion, i,
sad. But Of all deaths, the death from
broken heart is saddest.
P. L. Sullivan, alias William Della
ney, young man Of twenty-three years
one OF the train robbers, recently sen.
fenced to seventy years in the Arkansaa
Penitentiary was the victim of bro.
ken heart. Several days ago he became
gloomy, and going to Dr. Lenow, pris.
on physician, complained of being sick.
Upon examination the physician dis.
covered that the man was not suffering
from any perceptible disease, but that
his pulse was 40. He was ordered to
the hospital, where every possible care
was given him. He revived after q
time, bnt every one could see despair
written on his countenanse. He enter
ed the prison cheerfully, and lightly
spoke Of the long term Of his sentence,
but after while a letter came. When
he read the Zines his spirit sank. Tears
told Of misery that ink could not ex-
press. He went again to his bed.
"The shadows are gathering fast and
night Is expressing me with it's dark
ness" he said yesterday to some one
standing near. Gone crime, and then
death in penitentiary. Ny old father,
who has preached the gospel for years,
who many and many a time clasped his
hands above my head and prayed, has
been humbled in his old age. And my
mother! If Ieould only hear her voice.
But walls and law are between us. am
as one who il dead. She could come to
me, but | cannot go to her." His
thoughts wandered. At times he seem
ed to be in church, listening to his faith
or preach; and then he seemed to be
playing with his sisters. He smiled and
laughed softly. "Ah" he would say,
"your brother never forgets yon.n Sud-
denly his face grew dark, and, waving
his hands wildly, he began to mutter
broken sentences. Selling the bride
rein he sprang upon his antagonists
horse and dashed away
"IIe's reading one OF those wild books
that We used to steal away and deyour."
said one of the dying mans companions
in-crime.
"Halt! he exclaimed, drawing re-
yolyer and leveling it at the head of
young Horace continued the sufferer:
"Slowly and sadly they left the church
and walked along the well-worn path
to the rude grave Of Lawrence. Stand
ing near the stone, placed there by the
Indian, Casper and his fair companion"
and he muttered ineoherently, the SEN
tence dying away with a deep groan.
Suddenly he raised himself, looked IN
tently toward the door, and slowly sank
back, dead.
