The Turn of the Tide.

A CITIZEN reporter Tn conversation with some prominent lawyers, to-day, including District Attorney Smith, Judge Campbell and c. C. Stephens, Esq, and also Sheriff Paul, learned of new feature in the Casey tragedy. All of the above gentlemen agreed that If Casey had stood trial in the original charge of robbery at Calabasas. he would have been acquitted. There were, in the first place two men con- nected in the onslaught upon the house of prostitution. One escaped. Casey was the only culprit captured, and when the trial was called Tn the district court here, the important witnesses against him had become scattered, and it was impossible to subpoena them. The only testimony that could have been brought against Casey, would have been made by the woman robbed, and that was conflicting It is well known that he mads his escape from the county jail the night before the trial If he had remained lncarcerated, the next day might have brought him his liberty. He would also have escaped the gallows, 1t is presumed. It is, however, believed that he did not break Jail to escape the nenalty of his latest crime, but for fear that other charges, for past criminal practices, might be brought against him, and lead to more serious results to him.
 CaSev's Official Confession.
 On April 9th Joseph Casey sent word to Judge Osborn that he wished to make statement to that gentleman, final confession of his connection with the murder of Holbrook. Judge Osborn took Casey's sworn statement, and wrote the affidavit, word for word as the pris- oner spoke. It is as follows:
 Statement of Joseph Casey, made be i fore William J. Osborn. April g, 1881.
 In the evening of April 2S, 1883, Harry l St Clair and myself were upon the top of the cells, and we discovered that bar in the grating leading to the corn | dor was loose. I said to St Clair that 1 thought 1t was a good chance to pull the bar out and effect our escape. The next morning between eight and nIue clock, while the jailor was in the back yard, | inc iail guard out in the court house with trusties cleaning up, and Nosburg | asJaen up stairs, we sprung the bar, and ] St Clair went out first and l followed. I went immediately into the office, and while looking around for the key of the cupboard that contained the keys to the | Oregon boots that were on my legs l discovered three pistols on a small cot. ! I handed St. Clair one of the pistols. He said, "No, Casey, do not want 1t; there may be some harm done. and l do
 not want any such thing. If you will
 make him throw up his hands l will
 buck and gag him as he comes Tn the
 door," I said. 'No, Harry, you take one of them" About that time I heard Mir.

received the very first charge Of grapeshot

Execution Of Champ Ferguson.

To THE EDITOR: happened to be an Off
Ger of the guard on the day of the execution of
Champ Ferguson at Nashville, and know that
on the day before the execution Mrs. Ferguson
and daughter alighted from closed carriage
in front of a building known as post head
quarters, which was situated in the neighbor-
hood of the penitcntiary. They were met by
my wife and Mrs. Codington, the wife of the
officer who then had charge of Ferguson They
Mrs. Ferguson and daughter-were invited
into the house by my wife, but refused to enter
They were furnished water, towels, and combs
which were used on the porch. They then pro-
ceeded to the prison, and were admitted to
Ferguson's'cell. The daughter remained few
hours, and then retired. Mrs. Ferguson re-
mained all night in the cell with her husband.
AT the time OF the execution | was in charge of
the third line Of guard around the scaffold and
while the charges, etc., were being read to Fer
guson by Col. Shafter, the post commander
saw Mrs. Ferguson looking out of a window ON
the side below. Ny wife, who is now living,
saw lady in the street or alley which passes
along the rear of the yard in which the execu-
tion took place, and recognized young Miss
Ferguson, who was sitting against the high
wall of the yard, and sent an invitation to her
to come to the house, which was not accented
Ferguson was executed.
/ do not believe his wife and daughter en-
couraged him to die game. On the con trary
the trio believed the President would pardon
him, as young Andrew johnson had gone to
Washington for that purpose Now, let me
ask you, Mr.. Editor, with all respect to you and
all comrades, to let this matter rest, as Mrs
Ferguson and the same daughter are living near
this place, and have been for Is years, and are
respected by this people as good, industrious
folks.-G. w. WATSON, Elk City, Kan.
