DETECTIVE FALL.
The Pretty Doings Of one Of Brewster's
Pet Rascals.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.-There is "a man
under an indictment here for attempt to
bride the old star route jury, by the
name of Frank Fl. Fall. He has histo-
nv. His business is that of detective.
Duriug the administration of Hayes,
which Arthur beautifully and truthfully
describes as ''the four years preceding
the administration of President Gar
field" there were three negroes sentenced
to be hanged for murder. Two of them
Jumped the rope into eternity. The
third was in delicate health, and sympa.
thy for his consumption led the president
to commute his sentence to imprisonment
for life. Fall knew the presidents de-
termination several days before 1T was
announced. He also knew that certain
ignorant relatives of the condemned
lived in Warrenton, Va, and that they
owned twenty acres OF land. a yoke OF
oxen and horse and cow. So he went
down to Warrenton and said to these
kindred of the man standing under the
shadow of the gallows: 'if you will give
me your note for $500, with mortgage
security on all this property, will have
sentence of death on your kinsman COM
i muted to imprisonment for life, and af-
ter while we will get him out on par
don." OF course the proposition was ac
cepted, for the ties of love are not con-
fined to the white race. Red blood runs
under black skin. The old people, man
and wife, loving this wayward product o.
their loins better than they loved thell
home, made their mark to the mortgage
and notes that were to spare their boy
Fall came back to Washington, and with
in a day or two the sentence of death OF
Sandy Pinn (who died a month ago. wa
committed to Imprisonment for life IL
the Albany Penitentiary. When the tim
came for the collection Of Falls not
there was an application made for
perpetual injunction before Judge Keith
of the Warrenton Circuit Court, whlcl
he granted in decision that blazed wit
} indignant scorn of the claimant.
