PLEASANT TURNER'S ADDRESS TO THE COURT
THE wIFE's ANGUISH.
special dispatch to the Philadelphia Press
from Atlanta, Ca, Dec IS, says: About year
ago Pleasant NJ. Turner and John E. Shuttles
had difficulty at Greenville, Ca, and later on
the day of the occurrence Turner shot Shuttles
in the back and killed him. The trial came I'D
ten days ago and ended to-day with a verdict of
murder. The murderer was sentenced to be
hanged on February 9. The court room was
crowded to hear the mans doom. He was told
to stand up and asked if he had anything to
say why sentence Of death should not be pro-
nounced upon him. With considerable emotion
he replied:
have but word to say. and say it in the
presence OF the people, that the great prejudice
existing against me has caused the truth to be
suppressed. Thank God | bear animosity to-
wards no one | pray God that my enemies
may seek the salvation of their souls as hard as
they have sought to crush me.
When he had finished he sat down and buried
his face in his hands, overcome with his feelings
Soon recovering his selfpossession he again
stood up and calmly received his sentence
During the reading of it his wife sat near him
sobbing, and when it was ended she threw her
arms around him and cried out in her grief ''Oh
my God. my God, must he be hung for it, He
is innocent. he Is innocent"

Some severe comments have been made upon
Judge Wylie's methods, but prominent Pennsyl-
vania lawyer, who sat In the courtroom listening
to Col. Ingersolps Irritating words and witnessing
his insulting manners toward the court, declared
that in Pennsylvania Judge would have had the
lawyer behind the bars for contempt on the second

Wylies patience under Ingersol's treatment is re-
markable. He doubts very much whether any
other court in the United States would tolerate

TUG WILSON.
His biography Briefly Written by
Bill Nye.

Bill Nye.
Mr.. L. Wilson, the gentleman above
referred to. has accomplished one of the
most Remarkable fpats known to modern
science. Though uneducated and per-
haps inexp rirnced, he has attracted
towards himself the notice of the
Id.
Though he Vas once poor boy I'M
noticed aud unknown, he has risen to
the proud eminence from which with
pride, and covered with glory and sore
places, he may survey the entire civil
lied world, He entered upon an argu-
ment with Mr.. Sullivan knowing the
mental strength and powers of his ad-
versary, and yet he never flinched. He
stood up before his powerful antagonist
and acquired national reputation and
large OctagOnal breadth of black and
blue intellect whiHhuare the envy and ad
miratiOn of SOC people.
This should vincing argument
to our growin8 6f the possibilities
In store for the ernest, untiring and en-
thusiastic thumper, 1t is an example
of the wonderful triumph of mind over
matter, 1t shows how certain intellec-
tual developments may be acquired al
most instantaneOusly. 1t demonstrates
at once that OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
may be grown more rapidly and spOn-
taneOusly than the scientist has ever
been willing to admit.
A few weeks ago Tug Wilson was as
obscure as the Greenback party-nOw he
is known from ocean to ocean, and his
fame is as universal as is that of DR. Tan
ner, the starvation prima donna Of the
world. Few men have the intellectual
stamina to withstand the strain of such
an argument as he did, but he left the
arena with collection of knobs and
arnica clustering around his brow which
he justly merited, and the world will
not grudge him this meagre acquisition.
1t was due to his own exertiOns and his
own prOwess, and there is no American
mean enough to wrest it from him. Thou
sands of our boys, who to-day are spear
ing frogs, or bathing in the rivers of their
native land and parading on the shingly
beach, with no clothes on to speak of, are
left to choose between such career of
usefulness and greatness of brow, and
the humdrum life Of bilious student,
and a pale, sad Congressman. Will you
rise to the proud pinnacle of fame as
apugilist, boys, or will you plug along
as Borrowing, OverwOrked, statesman!
Now, IN the springtime Of your lives,
choose between the two and abide the
consequences.
