A Cleveland special Of Sunday says
A very sad case was developed before
United States Commissioner White yes
,erday afternoon. The facts came out
during the preliminary examination oil
DR.. T. II. Bingham, of Linndale, who
was under arrest on the charge Of pass
ing counterfeit nickels. He made the
following statement to the court: :" am
guilty of the offence charged, but was
forced to do it to keep my wife and
child from starving. ] am a graduate
of an eastern medical college, and came
TO Linndale from Massachusetts, about
a year ago. picked up some practice,
but during the winter ] had almost no.
thing to do. My means were exhausted.
and could not beg. My child became
i'll from lack of nourishment. and | saw
my wife failing day by day. In a mo-
ment of desperation thought ! would
make few nickels, and with them
purchase food. found. some lead in
the house. and borrowed a nickel for
a pattern. made forty Of them. They
were so crude that knew they would
be detected, and so for several days !
kept them in the house, not daring to
try and pass them. One day my wife
felt III and asked for food. ! picked
out three Of the nickels that were made
the best and hurried to butchers shop
in the village and asked for fifteen cents
worth of meat. II was handed to me
and threw down the counterfeit nick
els and ran home. ! gave the
meat to my wife and child.
About an hour after man
called and said that he had been sent to
me by the butcher. who had discovered
that the money was spurious. VI !
would redeem the worthless money
nothing would be done. ] told him
that had not one penny in the world,
and laughed when he talked about my
redeeming them. Some time after an
officer came and took me into custody"
There was hardly a dry eye in the
court when Bingham ceased, and the
Judge was visibly affected. lie said that
he would be compelled to bind the priS-
Oner over. and did so, in the sum of
slC0-the lowest bail possible. The
Judge then took a sum of money out Of
his pocket and gave it to court officer,
him to take it to the wife and
child. Bingham was taken to Jail. The
case is exciting much interest from the
fact that Bingham is an educated and,
from all reports, an honest man. The
family will be taken care of by charitable
nponlp of the city.

Resuscffation After HANGING
-. James Gazette

Few criminals sentenced to death
have so narrowly escaped execution as
Lee. the convicted murderer of Miss
Kcyse. who, as Sir William Harcourt
announced in the House of Commons
last night, has been reSpited during
her Majestys pleasure. There have,
however. been some remarkable cases
of resuscitation after supposed exc
cutiOn. Among these. one of the
most singular was that Of Margaret
Dixon. the wife Of fisherman. hanged
in Edinburgh in 1928 for the murder
of child. After execution her body
was cut down and delivered to her
friends, who put it into a coffin and
sent it in cart to be buried at her ma
tive place, Musselburgh. The weather
being Sultry. the persons who had the
body in their care stopped to drink at
a village called Pepper Mill. about two
miles from Edinburgh. While thus
refreshing themselves one of them
saw the coiiin-lid move, and a
moment later Mrs. Dixon sat
up. to the horror Of the spec
tatorS, most Of whom ran off in great
trepidation. 4 man who was drink
ing at the public house. and was not
scared at the spectacle, had self-poSscS-
sion enough to bleed her. She was
then put to bed, and by the following
morning was so far recovered as TO
be able to walk TO her own house. BY
the law of Scotland, having been exc
cutcd, She could not again suffer the
penalty, and was ,"! totally excuipatcd.
ont the Kings advocate filed bill in
the High Court of Judiciary against
the sheriff for emitting TO fulfil the law.
Mrs. Dixon was in all respects for
tunatc. for her husband remarked her
publicly few days after she was
hanged, and it j. to be hoped that she
gave him no cause to regret this cyi-
dcncc of his devotion. Another curl
: Gus case of rcsuScitaton was that Of
William Duell, hanged at Tyburn for
murder on the oath of November,
| I740. After the execution his body
was taken to Surgeons Hall for dis
section. Symptoms Of life being OBJ
served in the supposed corpse. one of the
surgeons took some ounces of blood
from him, the result being that in two
hours he was able to sit up in a chair.
In the evening he was again taken to
/ Ncwgatc. and his sentence was subSc-
quently changed to transportation. A
very painful scene arising from improper
management Of an execution took place
at Ncwgatc on the 18th of June. 1877.
when two men. by name Clench
and Mackley, were hanged for muir
der. Before the caps were drawn over
the eyes of the unhappy men the plat
form suddenly went down with the two
clergymen. the executioncr. and his as
sistant. The Catholic priest who at
tended Clench being, it is said. Every
lusty, suffered most, but not material
1 w." 1t would have been well if this
accident had put stop TO the hanging,
for the men. as was afterwards proved,
were innocent of the crime of which they
had been convicted.

LYING AND DYING ALoNg.
A My.srssas German whe Was supposed %
n, an Apostle Of Socialism.

Hs an APOSTLE Of seciaissm.
A Boston tMass.) special Of the 18th
saws |: One Of the most mysterious char
acicrs in this city was found dead in his
room. at No. 1881 fremont street,
shortly after o'clock to-day. Seven
years ago this man came here from
Germany and hired room in
Goldsmith's Hotel, on fremont street.
With him came four or five large
boxes containing books and papers.
The man gave his name as Erdcman
Schroeder, but would tell nothing of his
previous history. In fact, he would
answer no questions whatever and never
asked any. lie would allow no one TO
enter his room and never made a social
call upon any one. lie supported him
self by selling German books and peri
odicals.
A short time ago woman's curiosity
discovered that Schroeder's books and
papers were mostly Socislistic in their
tone. The natural supposition was that
he was a Socialist who had found it
convenient to leave Germany. This he
would neither affirm nor deny. The
man was we'll educated and was about
sixty years old. He had been sick for
some time, but would sec no ply
sician, neither would he have a nurse.
This noon repeated knocks upon the
door of his room elected no response,
and when the door was broken in Shroe-
der had probably been dead about five
hours.
Tomorrow the room will be tho
roughly searched and the books and pa
pers of the deceased examined. in the
hope that some light may be thrown
upon his mysterious life.

\ Titusyille PENN special says ;
Mrs. Nicholas kuntz. at Enterprise.
had prepared breakfast aud had set
down at the table with her husband.
She pulled out revolver which had
been concealed in her dress pocket.
and bidding good-by TO her husband,
shot herself in the left side just below
the ribs. 4 doctor was sent for. lie
probed for the ball without success.
The only motive for the attempted sui
eide was that husband and wife did not
live happily together.

A Mount Vernon t0hio) special says
In january DR.. Ayers. Of Homer, Lick

sent to New York lapijarics, each Of

DIR. Ayers says that he has refused
$4,000 for il. There is great excite

stone was found, and many persons are
searching in the gravel banks.
