The following is the executive order Of
Gov. Hamilton, of Illinois, committing the
sentences of George Washington and Bill
Nelson, (alias A. l.. UnderhilD, who were
confined in the Chester penitentiary or
charges of burglary and robbery respect
lively:
State of Illinois, Executive Office, Spring
field, Oct. 10, 1883. Application for par
don or communication No. 355, George
Washington, convict. and No. 354, Bill
Nelson, alias A. L. Underhill, convict.
The above entitled cases are considered
together on account of the peculiar Cir
! cumstances surrounding them which make
them one for consideration so fer as I am
concerned. The facts and circumstances
are as follows:
At the September term, 1882, Bill Mel.
son alias A. L. Underhill, was convicted in
| the Alexander Circuit court, of the crime
of robbery and sentenced to the penitenti-
airy at Chester for a term of seven years
his term commencing Sept. 25, 1882
George Washington was tried at the Feb
| ruary term 1883 of the Alexander Circuit
Court and convicted of the crime of burg
larry and larceny and sentenced to term
of three years in the Chester Penitentiary,
his sentence commencing Feb, 20, 1888
Both convicts are colored men.
The Hon. David j. Baker, formerly q
Judge of the Supreme Court of Illinois
now Circuit Judge of that circuit, sentenced
both of the prisoners and they are now in
the penitentiary serving their sentence
Since the incarceration of these men in the
State prison, at Chester, the following facts
and circumstances have developed and are
brought to ny attention in this applica-
ton:
On the morning of June II, 1882, Dan
lei OConnell, policeman in the city of
st. Paul, was murdered in that city while,
| in the line Of his duty, attempting to ar
rest two men who had been committing
burglsries and depredations in that city
during the night. The policeman, while
looking for them, came suddenly upon
them concealed behind some bushes in a
vacant piece of ground, and probably at
tempted to arrest them, when one of them
shot him in the head, killing him instant
ly. The murderers then fled escaped.
From some small articles of plumber
found Gear the ipot, which had been taken
from burglarized houses that night, it be-
mitted by the burglars, who had
been seen by some persons during the
night when in the act of committing some
depredations near the spot where the
murder was committed, and identified as
colored men. Their size and general ap-
pearance was also marked. The ball
VIII Oh killed the policeman was a small
round ball, such as would be fred from an
old style muzzle loading navy pistol, and
tbs ball was found in the head of the muir
dered man.
Starting with these clues, the police and
detective officers prosecuted their search
for the murderers with great vigor and
success. They found that two colored
men. answering the imperfect descrip-
ton given, had been stopping temporarily
in st. Paul at low den kept as resort
for colored steamboat deckhands
and roustabouts, and such hard classes,

TRIBUTE TO CAPT. BREssET.

TRIBUTE TO CAPT. BREssET.
At roll call last evening Chief CLARK read
the following general order in which is
conveyed a fine tribute of esteem to Capt.
Bresset:
1t gratifes me exceedingly to be able to
state to the force that the efforts which have
been made for some time past to detect
and punish the murderes of our late fellow
officer Daniel O'Connell, have been finally
successful and have been closed to-day
by the two defendants pleading guilty to
the charge in the indictment, and having
been sentenced to the penitentiary of this
state for life where they have been trans
ported. The death of O'Connell, occurring
under the circumstances that it did, and in
the performance of his duty, was know
|iDgly felt by all of us, and the desire that
his murderers should be brought to justice
has been shared by all the members of the
force. am glad to have been able to
dem onstrate that our organization is as
effective in detecting perpetrators of
crimes like these az it is in protecting the
lives and property of citizens, and that
each member of The force will have the ad-
ditional satisfaction of knowing that he
will be protected in the performance of
his duty. 1t is right and proper that Gre
dit should be given to those to wnom Gre
cit is due, and it is to the untiring and &C
tive eff )rts of our Captain Bresset, who has
patiently and skillfully worked up this
case, that we have been enabled to detect
and punish those persons, and l trust that
you will all join with me in expressing to
MIN the satisfaction and pride we
take in his efficiency and vigilance.
JOHN CLARE, Chief of Police.

Hny They Escaped the Ga,toscs.

The state law which was in force at the
time of the murder of O'Connell contained
capitol punishment if a murderer was
found guilty by a jury of murder in the
first degree, but if said murderer should
plead guilty to an indictment for murder
found by the grand jury no judge could
condemn him to hang, and the severest
penalty he could infict in such case was
Imprisonment at hard labor for life. In
other words the law recognized no other
authority to infict the death penalty
but a jury of twelve men.
There was considerable strife at the last
session of the legislature over the old law
and in attempts at its alteration, when
finally, W. w. B.lison was the author of q
new Law to take the place of the old, which
was passed and is known as chapter 122
of the general laws of 1888. This law
makes murder in the first degree punish
able with death. and gives the power to
pass that sentence into the hare d, of
both judge and jury, whatever
may be the pleading of the
prisoner to an Indictment. But this act
further provides that if in any such case
the court shall certify of record its opinion
that by reason of exceptional circum-
stances the case is not one in which the
penalty of death should be imposed, the
punishment shall be imprisonment for
life.
The crime of Geo. Washington and A. L.
Underhill was committed June II, 1882
when the old law was in force, and the
provisions of the new law are that it shall
not apply to any ofense perpetrated G.
fore It's passage, which continues the old
law in force for I'll past ohenses up to the
enactment of the new in 1888.
The unexpected taking advantage of this
fact By Washington and Underhill shows
that they dared not trust their necks to a
jury trial under the old law, as a convic-
ton would send them dangling in the air,
| and that they would rather take sentence
of imprisonment at hard labor for life than
to trust to any uncertainty that would il
adverse to them consign them to the halter
1t may be possible that having been ad-
vised of the saving proviso in the new Law
| for this Offences committed under the old,
| that they accepted the pardon for burglary
of the governor Of Illinois, that they might
be brought to Minnesota to answer to the
Indictment for the murder of O'Connell
rather than trust future legislatures of the
state who might repeal this old law pro
vision in order to have their scaffolds in
| readiness when they had reached the ex
piration Of their Illinois sentence.

pany of New jersey, James R. Keene,

ing of the bill in this transaction had de-
pressing effect upon the value of New Jer-

opinion upon the street that the bill was
signed for this purpose. The effect of set
ting aside the lease by the court would be
to depreciate the stock. The effect upon
persons who had sold short would be to
make them hold out their shorts. Per

Il Rate War.

4hi1WduhOO bSHt1uS1
The little fve-cent freight rate war be-
tween the Northwestern, ST. Paul and
Central roads, on freights from Milwaukee
to several northern cities at which the
three lines enter, Fond du Lac, Oshkosh,
Eau Claire, ETC., still continues, and while
the general opinion is that it will exist but
for few days more, nobody seems capa-
bic of telling exactly when the end shall
be. A conference Of freight representa-
tives of the three lines was to have been
held in Chicago last Wednesday, but in
consequence of there being
more important matters to at
tend to before the North
western Traffic association, tie subject
was not touched. 1t was yesterday re-
ported that meeting is to be held III Mil
YANKEE to-day, in hopes of arriving in
some satisfactory settlement of the diff
calty, but the officials most interested, and
who would naturally know of such meet
ing were it to take place, have received no
information that it is to occur. However
it is not probable that the present condi-
ton of affairs will be of much longer dura-
ton. The freight officials of the lines in
VOiSStCO WILL COuuO tc 5OLAO
and either have freights to these Compel
ing points pooled Or else maintain the
regular rates. None of tie roads seem
to know, or at least will not say what
brought on this miniature war which has
brought thu freight rate down to five cents
per 100 pounds, from Milwaukee to the
northern cities named above. When
asked what brought on this little difficulty,
an official of one of the lines yesterday an
swered: "The Chicago & Northwestern,
the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul, and
Wisconsin Central railroads." which ia
about all the information that can be OBJ
TONED as to the real facts. One road
seems to have caught another in making o
slight cut, it Immediately retaliated by a
still deeper slash, the third took hand in,
and SO it has gone until five cents per 100
is the going rate.

Tie Aittcaufeee &c st. Paul and the O.kel
Roads IN the IOaca Pool.
IGhicaOo Trihupa


The difficulties between the Milwaukee
& 81. Paul and the other roads in the Iowa
pool regarding the division of livestock
traffic between Omaha and Chicago, of
which mention was made in the Tribune u
few days ago, are said to be of a more Sc
rious nature than heretofore reported. For
some months past the bulk of the live
stock business has been going over the
Milwaukee & st, Paul. and for this reason
that road was suspected of cutting the
rates. The Milwaukee & st. Paul officials,
however, emphatically denied at the meet
ing of the Iowa pool last week
that they have been cutting the rates,
and claimed that the rea-
son their road was getting the business
was because shippers were favoring their
line. The other roads in the pool de-
manded that the Milwaukee & st. Paul
should pay the money earned on the ex-
cess business carried into the pool. The
amount is said to amount to S38, 5000. This
the Milwaukee & ST. Paul refuses to do, on
the ground that lately no division of live
stock traffic was made by the commits
sioner. The other roads insist that the ST.
Paul must pay over the receipts from its
excess business, or they will make such
rates on live stock as will give them their
share of the business. The st. Paul, how
ever, declares that If such steps are taken
it will draw out of the Iowa pool.
AS there is no great anxiety on the part
of any of the roads to see the pool broken
up, it is not likely that matters will be
forced to the extreme, and efforts are
already being made to effect a compromise
