uneasy, communicated with the police.
The detectives refused to give Brainerd up.
and while the police were endeavoring to
take steps to bring him back. the detectives
procured wagon and drove off rapidly,
and reached st. Paul, and then took
their prisoner east. Lawrence Brainerd
is sixty years old, and was born at st.
Albans, VT, his father being presi-
dent OF the Vermont Central railroad.
Lawrence was n leading man in the state,
and being married to Miss Smith. sister OF
Gov. Smith, took a leading part in society.
He was Mt one time president oil the lie
Moyle Valley railroad st. Adams Savings
bank and other concerns, and up to the
time OF the collapse OF the bank was re-
garded as an honest, upright man. He
took an active part in church affairs,
was a leading member OF the st.
Adams Congregational church and su-
superintendent OF the Sunday school. The
savings bank Of which he WAS president was
used by innumertble farmers, artisans and
Others in the state in which to deposit their
hard-earned savings, and when it was known
that the institution had collapsed owing
to Brainer1's speculations. there was u gen.
eral wall Of despair. A special train was run
from the country loaded up with farmers,
who made great rush to the bank, think
ing they would be in time to save their
money.
International complications are likely to
arise over the kidnapping OF Lawrance
Brainerd at Winnipeg. The dominion gov
ernment has been communicated with on
the matter and requested to demand
OF Washington that Brainerd be hand
cd back to the Canadian authori-
ties. 1t will be considered an insult
to British justice il Brainerd is not returned.
The detectives who kidnapped him are New
begin and Repley, both of Boston. Both
wormed themselves into Braincrd's conf
dencc. One played invalid and received
many luxuries from Brainerd. They have
been here working on the case since May.
Brainerd is heavily interested in a cattle
ranch in Colorado, where his wife's money
is invested. The lawyer who pursued the
kidnapers to the boundary and who re-
turned, tells the following story:
We started south again and found Mr..
Brainerd at Pembna. He seemed to be
completely under the influence OF the two
men and to have no will ofhis own. He told
us that he had been seized violently in the
woods on the other side OF the Assnaboine
river by Newbegin and two others, put into a
covered democrat wagon and driven across
the boundary line. Threa IS were used freely
by the men that he would never be allowed
to cross the boundary line alive. They had
no warrant and no legal documents by
which they could detain him. Iasked Brain
erd to come across to Emerson with me to
meet his wife; that he was a free man and
that his captors had no warrant and
could not detain him. ran for two con-
stables whose serve g / thought had Sc
cured. They would not come, and while I
was making inquiries for the nearest magis-
trate in order to obtain warrant for the
arrest OF the two men who had detained
Mr.. Brainerd, they put him into rig
and drove south, and that was the last l
saw of them.

Hanging of the Central American Incen-
diary.

Purser Emerson. of the Pacific Mail steam.
ship Acapulco, which arrived in New York
from Colon, brought some interesting par
ticulars regarding the execution OF Prestan
and other leaders in the late revolution up
on the isthmus. When the populace learned
that Prestans death was underlined for
positive performance on the 18th ult., it be-
came clamorous and loud threats were
dethat the man who served as executions
er would have to attend his own fundral in
short order.
For time the military party were at o
standstill. They had their prisoner safe, and
they had his condemnation written, scaled
and signed. But how to get him hanged?
Tinor tflc Inuu. IT was ike making
horse drink after you have got him to the
water. OF course, u Yankee solved the
problem. Doughty old Capt. Roundtree,
the American captain OF the port, who had
charge of the Gamecock when it was stolen
by the rebels, said he'd be hanged il he would
allow the hanging to be postponed for want
of hangInan. He could take the
place himsilf, threat or no threat.
So the governor ordered the execu-
ton to 60 on upon the date named. On
the 18th the place was in u frenzy. All
work was suspended and the populace
turned out in the streets. But the soldiers
were plentiful, and their guns had sharp
barrels, and they were ordered to shoot
at the first sign OF an outbreak,
and let the investigating be done after
ward. Opposite the ruins OF the burned
Jail derrick was swung over the railroad
track. This was the gallows. Underneath
it fiat car was run, surmounted by dry
goods box. These were the platform and
drop. The condemned man was brought
here, and lightly mounted this unique scat
fold, while a crowd OF burly laborers were
sent underneath the car with orders
to put their shoulders to the wheel and
push it out from under the prisoner when
the signal was given. Prestan showed no
signs OF fear, though he knew painful
death was in tore for him. A line ofguards
surrounded the car, and a native padre
stood near. Capt. Roundtree fixed the moose
about Prestan's neck with the neatness
and dispatch OF an old hand. When all
was ready Prestan turned to the spectators
and yelled.
l am not afraid of death. 1 am an Ameri-
can.
Then suddenly, before the car could be
moved, he jumped from the box, hoping,
doubtless, to break his neck. He failed tc
accomplish this end, however. The moose
frightened and it was seen that he was chok-
ing to death. As the body slowly swayed
to and fro, Prestan raised his hands, which,
at his earnest request, had been left un-
bound, and wiped the foam from his mouth.
He appeared to be conscious for several
minutes and it was half an hour before he
was dead.
