Was It Suicides

LAFAYETTE Ky October II. 1885.
Ed. Souri, KENTUCKIAN:
In Il recent issue you published an
account of The death Of JAS. II. Moss,
and said that he intended to commit
suicide.
We do not believe lie intended to
end his life, for many reasons point
ing in that direction. That some be-
lieve lie did so intend is true, but
still more do not believe it.
Your information is not correct,
and so we have thought proper TO
write this in order that all facts may
be put before the public.
/ Ills wife had been called to the
bedside of her sister, Mrs. Jones, and
was therefore absent. Mr.. Moss was
taking his meals at my house. lie
was not well, and was unable to sleep
restfully, and applied to DR.. p. G.
Wooton, to put up some doses of
morphine, having procured bottle
of the article for the purpose. This
was on Friday evening. lie was al
breakfast, dinner and supper Satur-
day,-went TO his house where he was
sleeping and did not appear Sunday
morning. 1t was thought that he
had gone to Mr.. Jones', and myself
left and did not return TIL Monday
ut noon; learning of his continued
abselice, We edthchouse through
an open window and found him sleep
ing very soundly with good pulse
and temperature, but could otarouse
him. DIR. Boyd came and remedies
were applied but without avail. lie
opened his eyes and grunted IN re-
sponse when called to loudly but
continued to grow worse till about 8
o'clock p. NJ. when he died. A lamp
was burning on the mantel brightly.
A bucket of water was at the head of
the bed a chair on which his clothing
and In which sat mug with the
dregs Of morphine in it. His room
door was not locked. That the outer
door was, is nothing strange. fhe
had intended to take his life, surely
he would have done IL at once and
would have been dead Sunday morn
ing. Nor would he have had doses
portioned out, which he evidently
commenced to use as early as Friday.
The bottle was not half empty as
stated, not moro than Ii grains gone,
according to DIR. Boyd. This is about
true, towit:
lie took the doses given him by
the DIR. and then undertook to meas
ure for himself and either made the
doses too large or repeated them too
rapidly and thus unintentionally
ended his days.
suppose 500 would cover his in
debtcdness, surely not for that, would
he take his own life lie was a good
man aud had no enemies, why should
he go away?
Suicides generally want the world
10 know why they thus leave aud
leave an account of troubles. lie left
nothing. | knew him well, was in
innate with him, he was a member
Of my church and with all the lights
befnre mo 1 boliOvo hio doo,h was
accidental.
Yours,
| EIDRED H.. PATE.

Three Heavv sentences.

Savannah News.
The feeling in favor of furnishing, TO
the fullest extent of the law, those who
are guilty Of crimes of violence, appears
to be increasing. This Is due to the fact,
doubtless, that civilization is advancing.
The higher the civilization in any com
munity the fewer are the crimes of VIC
lence.
The dispatches within the past week or
two have contained quite large number
OF instances where the full penalty of
law was inflicted on those found guilty of
crimes of violence.
Our dispatches yesterday stated that
sentences had been passed upon convicts
in three cases which have attracted wide
attention.
In one case Cunningham and Burton
were charged with the attempt to wreck
the Tower of London with dynamite
They were sentenced to penal servitude
for life. They already regret. doubtless,
theirexperiencea as dynanliters,a and would
gladly promise never again to attempt to
destroy life and property with dynamite,
if by such q promise they could Sc
cure their freedom. Death is preferable
to the kind Of life they viii lead during
the remainder Of their days.
In another case the New Orleans Pc
lice Justice, Ford, his brother and three
Of their friends, who had been convicted
Of assassiuating citizen on one of the
principle streets of New Orleans, were
sentenced. Two were sentenced to be
hung and three to imprisonment for 20
years. Sentences like these are caIoula-
ted to cause less freedom in the handling
of the pistol in New Orleans. There GER
tainly was need that something should
be done towards checking crimes Of vio-
lence in that city.
The third case was that Of the New
York Police Sergeant Crowley, who a
few nights ago, at a ball in one of the
public halls Of that city, was introduced
to a pretty cigarette maker whom he en-
ticpd into a deserted barroom and as
saultcd. The court gave him seventeen
years and six months. With such a
sentence sta ing them in the face it is
not probable that other New York po
iicemen viii soon yield to the temptation
to play the part Of criminal when of
duty
Other cases where heavy sentences

a lady in the Englishwoman's Maya

there. eve then strolled further down
to watch the finding light. The tidecame

Mrs. Dickens, how can you be so silly
