Some enterprising Chicago spectators
propose to purchase the old Libby prison at
Richmond and set it up as a war relic in
Chicago A 3O-day option upon the build
ing has been obtained for 500 granting
the privilege of purchase for S23, 600 If
the plan is carried through the prison will be
removed brick by brick and rebuilt brick
by brick in precisely the same ralative po-
sition. Boards, shingles and even the orig
inal mortar and nails will be transferred
as far as possible 1t is estimated that the
cost of removal, rebuilding and enclosure
in an outer building with glass roof, will cost
5000, 900, and the capital of the company
TO execute the project is fixed at Si00 600
1t is reported that this capital has been sub
scribed, and that the prison will surely be
added TO the other features of Chicago.

One of the first soldiers Of this or any

According to tables published in the New
York Herald showing the different meth
ods of capital punishment now employed in
civilized countries, execution by the sword
is practiced in i9 countries, including lj of
the Swiss cantons the guillotine is used in
10 countries, the galows in three, the mus
ket in two, and the axe and cord in one
each. In % of the 3G countries included
in the list executions are public Bruins
wick is the only place where the axe con
tinues in use. The Herald states that an
investigation of the history of crime in the
several countries included in the list shows
that an undue or extreme severity in the
mode of intlicting the death penalty does
not operate to lessen the occurrence of the
offences so punished.

The Price the Court Allowed Him for
Three of His Fingers.
In the superior court yesterday the Har-
rigan case was not given to the jury until
$50 o'clock p M, and last night verdict
was rendered in favor of defendant for
So 300.
James Harrigan was a carpenter in the
employ of the Savannah, Florida and West
ern Railway Company, and while operating
a buzz-saw the table broke, and the saw
coming in contact with his left hand,
severed three fingers therefrom. Harrigan
brought suit against the company for
$4,000 damages. On the first trial Harri-
gan obtained a verdict for SO, $50. He
asked for and obtained a new trial,
and again the case was decided adversely to
defendant, Harrigan obtaining a verdict
for s., 220. The case then went up to the
supreme court on appeal, aud it was re-
manded back for third trial, which has
resulted in the verdict of last night which
is the smallest Of the three, being $3.50
lower than the first verdict and 1920 less
than the second one. No notice was given
of application for new trial by defendants

RELICS OF THE WAR.
Pine Stumps Filled With Bullets and
Shells.

Pine Stumps Filled With Bullets and
Shells.
The Philadelphia steamships wharf
swarmed with curiosity seekers yesterday
and Sunday. They were attracted by
pile of relics Of the battle of Missionary
Ridge. There are forty-two blocks of
pine each containing a shell or ball. The
wood has grown around the shell, and only
a part of them is visible Some of the
blocks contain parrot shells which buried
themselves in the pine without expl ding.
Some of them are very large, measuring
probably four inches in diameter, and one
or two of them are hollow.
The stumps arrived by the Central rail
road from Chattanooga Saturday, and
were to have been shipped on the Dessoug
to Philadelphia, but arrived too late aud
will not be shipped until Saturday.
When the train hands were unloading the
car in which the relics were brought here,
they were, in the language of one of them,
''awful keerful not ter hit nun er de karti-
ges.n The blocks are placed on their ends
on the wharf. There are forty-two
OF them and when among them
one imagines that he is in q
thicket which has been riddled
with bullets. The blocks are consigned TO
John w. Hoffman, Philadelphia. An old
soldier said while looking at them: at " as
tight time at Missionary Ridge whom all
that was gong on. Ii tie did l think then
that would ever look on anything which
saw there as curiosity. Then a dozen
train loads Of such rubbish could be gath
cred up. They were common then" Mis-
siouary Ridge is seven miles from Chatta-
nooga. The celebrated battle was fought
there Nov. 1926, 1868.

Cinnamon Squabble About 5000
Bill that Wasn't Stolen.


Bill that Wasn't Stolen.
Joe Lee was about rs crazy a specimen OF
Chinaman Yesterday as has ever been seen
outside of the fowery kingdom. Joe
imagined that Charley Lee had given him
soporifics Sunday night, and, after getting
him into a sound sleep, had taken from him
$500 bill. Joe employed Detective
! Wetherhorn to look into the case. Joes
| actions were very strange, and as ne toId
| his story in a rather fragmentary and dis
connected way, and with such an admixture
OF Chinese with his pigeon English, Wether-
| horn stepped out to get Wong Gen, Chi
| nese laundryman a few doors from Justice
Molina's office, to ect as interpreter.
| When Joe saw Wong Gen coming he took
to his heels in great fright, and it was with
some difficulty that Wetherhorn could get
Joe back TO the office Joe, who wears his
hair short ale samee as Mclean man, was
afraid Of Wong Gen, and he argued that all
the Cinnamon i'll the city are his enemies
because he no longer wears queue. Wong
Gen managed to get from Joe Lee the in
formation that Joe, when he went to bed
Sunday night at Charley Lees, had $500
bill hidden away III cloth belt attached to
his undershirt, which was not to be found
Yesterday morning Joe insisted that he
had disrobed and made rigid hunt for the
money, but it was not to be found. Weth
erhorn sent for Charley Lee, and in the
meantime took Joe Lee in the Justices pri-
vate office and made him again remove his
clothing, and the detective found the lost
money in an inner fold of Joe's pantaloons
before the arrival of Charley Lee.
1t appears that Charley is the last one Joe
should have suspected. Joe has been sick
for the past two or three weeks, and has
been cared for by Charley, who has
also had charge of an in
voice of groceries that Joe sent
on from New York in Charley's care. Joe's
cousin, Jim Lee is expected here to-day
with horse and stock of groceries from
Fernandina, where Joe and Jim have been
IN the grocery business. They have rented
a place here and Jim is to stay, while Joe,
to recover his health, will return to China.
The supposed loss of the money he was
depending upon to take him back 10 his ma
tive land almost unseated his mind. De-
tective Wetherhorn got Joe bank book
and deposited his money in bank for him,
where it will be safer, and the Chinaman is
very sorry that he suspected the one who
had been good Samaritan to him.

FOLLOWED HIM IN A BOAT.

The Colored Woman Found on the

The name of the colored woman found

with two children, in a condition that war
ranted the attention of DIR. Sheftall, is
Terra Bright. Her husband saw the notice
in the MORNING News of her finding and
applied to DIR. Sheftall yesterday to know
what had become Of her. He said that he
lived at Matthews Bluff, up the river, half
way to Augusta. He left his wife at home
a few days ago while he came to Savannah
to get work. He said that she was de-
mented and had tried to follow him. After

she came down the river in a boat hunting
him. Her husband took charge of her and
said that he would carry her back home.
