MOURNING FOR IRONS.
His BrOther-iH-Law Writes to q
Sedalian to Learn His
Whereabouts.
Wonder if That Fortune is Now at
the Disposal of the Ex-
Striking Chairman

Deputy Constable Wallace, who
recently attached the HOUSEHOLD goods
of Martin Irons, and subsequently
took possession of his tool chest also.
YESTERDAY received the following self
explanatory letter:
BROOKLYN, y. Y, June 2l.
Deputy Constable WA. Wallace.
DEAR SRA stranger to you, wish to
inform you that had just opened cor
respondence with my brother-in-law, Mar
tin Irons whom | learned, was a resident
of Sedalia through the papers. / received
three letters from him and then all commu-
nication stopped. Ny last letter to him is
now in the hands of the proprietors OF
Hurst's hotel, in ST. Louis, awaiting his
order. Seeing a paragraph in the New
York World, on May 9th, thought of
addressing you. The following is what |
refer to:
"SAdalia, Mo-, May 29.-Deputy Consta-
bic VIM. Wallace to day levied upon a
portion of Martin Irons household goods
to satisfy a debt of 500 due Patrick
O'Conner for several months rent Irons
step-daughter, aged 10 years, claimed the
furniture had been disposed of to a neigh
Dor, but the.officer took it nevertheless"
Sir, could you place this in the hands of
his step-daughter, whose name or address
| do not know, and so relieve the anxiety
OF his sister, my wife, as to what has hap
pened to him. | would be thankful for
any information with reference to him or
his family that should receive.
Believing, sir, you will accept this in
the spirit of kindness In which it Is sent,
| remain, yours,
MICHAEL J. OLOUGHLN,

p. Sit is thirty-two years since his
sister saw or heard of him before the recent
strike
Mr.. Wallace placed the above letter
in the hands of the BAzoo, as he was
unable to answer the questions asked.
So far as known, Irons is still drink
ing gin at Rosedale, Kan, and it is
said his step-daughter is in Kansas
City.
Irons, it will be remembered, caused
a gauzy story to be published during
the strike, to the effect that he had
fallen heir to several thousand dollars
by reason of his having located his sis
ter, the Mrs. OLoughlin above re-
ferred 10. When last here, Martin
claimed that he had not yet received
the money due him, but expected to
at an early day. That the whole
story was trumped up, there can
now be no question. Martin is not
the kind of man to cease correspond
ing with his relatives if there was
probability of getting dollar out of
them, and his silence for the past few
weeks gives the entire snap away.

LEABO'S LAST.
The Supreme Court Says He
Must Hang July IL,

Clinton, No., June 2l.-[Special.l The
talk of the town this evening is the receipt
OF intelligence that the supreme court has
affirmed the decision of the Clinton circuit
court in the case of John T. Leabo, con-
victed of murder in the first degree for the
second time, and after a third trial at the
last session of the court and sentenced to
hang. The affirmation also fixes the date
OF execution for July 18th. The readers
OF the BAzOo are familiar with the case,
which has been so often reported and tried.
In December, 1888, the dead body of Mrs.
Leabo, the wife of the prisoner, was found
dead in well with marks of violence upon
her person, showing she had been murder
ed. Leabo was arrested. tried and found
guilty OF the crime, and for the past two
years has been confined in Jail at this place.
The defense vainly endeavored to prove
the death a suicide. Leabo seems defect
ed over the news, as he has all along be-
lieved he would finally come clear.

A STARTLING STORY.
A st. Louis Tewksbury Tomb of
Tramps Become the Talk
of the Town.
Terrible Tales of the Treachery
of Trusted but Trait0rOuS
Keepers.

St. Louis Mo-, June 23-An afternoon
paper today publishes long sensational
article which claims to be faithful report
of the inward management of the ST. Louis
work house. The gist of the publication is
as follows: NOminally a prisoner is al
lowed fifty cents day :or his work, but
by arbitration and mean deductions this is
reduced to thirty or forty cents, for instance,
no pay is given for Sunday.
ONE HALF OF SATURDAYS PAY
is deducted to sustain the expense of the
alleged superior food which is furnished
the prisoners on that day. Once a week
all the white prisoners, numbering about
200, are required to battle in one tank six
by five feet, from which
THE WATER Is NEVER DRAINED
until the whole number have washed them
selves in it. Not few of them are afflict-
ed with disgusting diseases, while others
are covered with ulcers and running sores,
which are by means of the bath easily COM
munieated 10 the unaffected. The fifty
neg oes are required to battle In the same
manner, though in fresh water, and the
whole $50 are furnished with but four
towels. The cells in which the prisoners
are cOnnneu, when not al WORK, are l24I0
feet in size, into each of which are crowded
eighteen men. In a case of sickness
the patient is placed in a cell
of inferior accommodations in which are
also confined the insane patients and those
of the new corners for whom room cannot
be found or made in the other cells. The
food at the work house is inferior in quail
ity and insufficient in amount, the bread
being too hard to eat and the
coffee too weak to taste. The water given
to the men to drink while at their work is
dipped from the cattle trough, and the
stone workers in the quarry drink from the
same bucket as the mules and horses.
ONE OF THE WORST FEATURES
of the management is the laxity of disci-
pline and the indifference of the warden
and guards as to what the prisoners say
and do while unemployed In regard to
the punishment of offenders against the
work house rules the writer says the
prisoner may be either confined in
the bull pen or dark cell or is STRUNG up"
The latter punishment consists in hanging
the offender up by the wrists and. keeping
him in that position until obedience to the
rules is promised.

has examined the ice cream cans and saws
there was not enough sulphate of zinc
about them to do any damage: that
the symptoms are those of arsen-

that those who first ate of the cream es-

asmuch as this is the second mysteri-
Gus death that has occurred beneath
her roof. Eight years ago she was
keeping boarding house on Main
street. One morning a deaf and
dumb man called and complained of
being i'll. He paid her twenty-five
cents for bed, and retired about ten
o'clock a. m. He was permitted to
rest without molestation until 6 p. IN.
At that hour a domestic was
sent to arouse him, but in

dead. An inquest was held, but it
did not result much more satisfactory

WAS 1T SUICIDE.

From the above letter it is suppos-
ed that the cast off clothing belonged
to Arthur NJ. Freeman, to whom the
missive was addressed. No such per-
son is known to the authorities here,
however, and al present the entire af-
fair is shrouded in mystery.
Mr.. jackson says there is only two
feet of water in the creek at the place
where the clothing was found, aud it
would be almost impossible for a man
to commit suicide there.
If it is not case of self destruction,
though, why would Freeman. even if
he did throw away the clothing, leave
behind his two purses, knife and the
above letters? There is something
wrong, without a doubt, but exactly
what it is the BAzoo is not able to
state at this writing.
