haven for those who wished TO escape the
restraints imposed by denser popula-
ton and an older civilization than that
state boosted 1t became the home not
only of numbcrlcss criminals hiding from
justice, but was sought as refuge by
many On whose lives blight had fallen
through misfortune or dlsapnni...

communities TO hide from scrutiniaing
sad hearts not brave enough TO bear the
worlds harsh ceDsure OF all the lives
thus isolated 10y crime or sorrow, one in
particular that fell under the writer's OBJ
serration has always seemed most extra
ordinary In the pathos of its succession
as illustrating how the act of one instant
can Influence the whole years of life.
Thirty-tivc or forty years ago the old
Spanish city OF NacogdocheS was the
leading place in East Texas and boosted
u population of several thousand and
though its inhabitants and prestige have
nearly all been absorbed by newer towns
II still abounds in romantic interest to
those who wish to study the history of
the people of early days.
The stage from Shreveport TO Nacog-
doches, that once a week brought the

link that connected the old town with the

lie soon made friends in the best society
of the town, which was composed of pco.

many of them OF the highest culture and
education from the old world.
Young Parmerlee soon became great
tavoritc, he was so manly and noble i'm
character and vet there was always a
shadow of mystery about him. for he was
never known To write or receive letter,
nor did he ever speak OF home or friends,
or seek connection with his former life,
About this time the Eastern paperS
were full of terrible tragedy that had
occurred In New York city. The mJste-

woman, the arrest OF gentleman IN The
highest rank of society Tor the crime.
His trial, the testimony, DEVELOPMENTS
