A THIEFS CURE.
The Unfortunate Mania From which
Convict was Relieved by u Surgeon.

The Unfortunate Mania From which a
Convict was Relieved by a Surgeon.
said Governor Blackburn, Of Ken
lucky:
Il knew a young man of excellent
family who had the misfortune to be
wounded in the head with pistol-ball.
Shortly after he had apparently recoy-
cred he robbed a store of | of stuff
i that was of no earthly value to him.
He then stole a buggy, loaded the other
stolen property into the vehicle and
hauled the entire business into a piece
Of woods, where he concealed the
buggy and contents. The young man
vas arrested, the property he took was
Neoyered. and he was sent to the
EfynKiot penitentiary. He served
LIS time out, and, going back home,
bUglaried the same store, taking the
same cl5ss Of goods, which he loaded
into thD buggy he had run off with be-
fore, ad he concealed the things in
the sane place he had hidden them on
the OCCASION Of his first offense.
"Qnce more the youth was sent to
thepenitentiary and had nearly COM
pleted his second term when | got a
friend Of mine, whom l knew to be an
intelligent gentleman, to act as physi-
clan to the prisoners. The case |
speak of was brought to his attention
because ii was one of unusual inter
est The doctor gave it as his opinion
that the bullet which had struck the
Young mans head had indented the
skull sufficiently to cause it to press
on the maa's brain, and that this was
1 the reason c committed the burglaries
that couldn't possibly benefit him, but
were sure to send him to prison. The
doctor sad that he believed the young
man could be cured by trepanning the
skull. but as his time was about to ex-
pire, he wouldn't take the responsible
ity of performing the operation. So
the prisoner was shortly afterward
sent home. He lost no time in loading
ND the old buggy again with the same
class Of goods that lie had obtained
on two previous occasions when he
blrgIarized the same store that he en-
tered for the third time. OF course
Immediately after the things and the
buggy were missed, the owners knew
where to find them, and in no time at
an nv Young friend was back at the
prison.
oThe doctor then said that he was
going to trepan that fellows head if it
was the last act of his official life, the
death of the prisoner, and he did. Not
only that. but he did it successfully
and pardoned the young man. He
/ went home and behaved himself like a
nerfect gentleman, sir, and never made
the slightest attempt to steal even a
Mn. | firmly believe that if that man
had not been operated upon he would
have repeated the offense of burglar
ling that store and hiding that old
buggy in the woods till doomsday,
could he live so long. There is moth
ing like having intelligent officers
about prison, sir. TheJ save life and
reputation, sir, and property. Gin

MURDERED MRS. CAwLEY,
Death From the Effects of the Wounds In
fiicted by her Son


Mrs. M. ]. Cawley, the lady Drained by
her demented son Richard yesterday morning,
died last evening at 10 minutes past 9 o'clock.
She remained unconscious during the whole
of the day, and from the first no hope for her
recovery was entertained.
The body presents shocking appearance.
The principal wound, that on the head, is
large and deep, so extensive in fact that a
mans hand can be placed in it. There are
other wounds on the body, evidently done by
the same instruments of less serious character.
Her hands and arms are covered with bruises,
which were received while attempting to ward
off the lunatic's blows.
Mrs. Cawley was native of Port Gibson,
Miss, and in her 5Ist year. She leaves q
sister, Mrs. /. M. Gay, nephew and a
niece in this city. Her remains have been
placed in charge of Messrs. Carter & Mullaly
and will be inferred in the city cemetery this
afternoon.
An inquest into the circumstances attend
ing the murder was commenced by Justice
Anton Adam this morning and is now in
progress. The only interesting testimony adj
duced was that of Miss Lulu Zenot a young
lady who was sleeping with Mrs. Cawley
when the murderer entered the room. She
said:
81 was awakened by noise in the room. |
heard no VOICES, only wrestling. As soon as
| awoke saw man with his back to me in
front of Mrs. Cswley. His back looked to
me to be that of Richard Cawley. While he
was striking her / heard dreadful wells from
her. l don't think l gave more than one
glance at him. Then ran out of the room as
hard as could. About the time | reached
Mrs. Green's room heard him exclaim, in
voice very much like that of Richard Cawley,

Cawley was seen eating at tamale stand
on Military plaza, by Mr.. S. c. Bells, about
O'Clock yesterday morning. This morning
Sheriff Mccall heard that he had been seen
near the:rock quarry and detailed deputies
in pursuit of him.

GOOD FRIDAY.
How il was Observed by Catholics and
Episcopalians.

To-day is Good Friday, and as every one
knows, is one of the greatest festival days in
the Episcopalian and Catholic churches. 1t
is celebrated in commemoration of the cruci-
hxtion of Christ In all churches it has been
celebrated with due ceremony, and there was
a large attendance. The ceremonial at San
Fernando cathedral was especially imposing
and effective. The sacred images were hung
with Grape, the station-of-the- cross pictures
were covered, and the crucifx lay upon bier
in the same way and in the same place as the
casket of the dead is usually placed during
the funeral ceremonies. The usual candles
burned, and several candles were held by the
worshipping mourners. An air of sadness
and reality peryaded the church, and the
LIGHT representative present noticed real tears
in the eyes of some ofthe momners

True to Her Lover.

Ranney Thomas, formerly of Nashville. has
Just been released from custody at the Cold
Creek mines. There is quite romance con-
nected with Thomas imprisonment. In 1875
he killed Joe Deal, a clerk at the Maxwell
house, in Nashville, for insulting a younp
lady to whom he was engaged to be married.
He was sentenced to the penitentiary for aI
years, but his sen e2ce was commit n 10 ~
years by Governor Porter, and again reduced
on account of good behavior during cor fine
ment. Thomas says he is going to marry The
young lady whose honor he defended at snch
a dear cost, as soon as he succeeded in oct
ting work. She has remained true 10 him
during his imprisonment, writing to him. and
often sending him many delcacies and sweet
remembrances. "se'
