The Legal Complications Arising From
the Escape of Murderer Godas.

HELENA, August 16.-[Special to til
Miner. There has been a good deal of dis
cussion going on here among the people, a
well as the legal fraternity, over what wa
considered a complicated point of la,
raised by the escape from Jail OF Godas
the murderer, who was at large-and is nov
upon the date set for his hanging.
1t was claimed that because OF the failur
of Governor Leslie to take some officia
action in granting respite and designatin,
some other day for the hanging-whicl
course conld be followed for an indefinit,
time-the law could not be enforced agains
| Godas, as he could not be tried twice fol
his life, and, as the warrant had not beer
executed, according to
THE PROPER LEGAL FORMS,
| another tie could not be fixed. In fact
that Godas was entitled to his liberty.
The Governor of Idaho, very recently, in
| the case OF Brown, the escaped negro mUr.
derer-exactly similar to Godas-issued a
proclamation OF respite, fixing the time for
the xecution OF the sentence at future
date. Before this period expired the fugitive
was captured, and the sentence will be
carried out without any further proceed
ings at law.
When the Godas matter was brought to
the attention OF Governor Leslie, before
the time for the hanging, and after the es-
cape, an examination of the statutes was
set on foot by several eminent legal lumi-
L,,E hi; e. -
was unavaiiing. The Governor took the
matter in his own hands and soon found
that
NO ACTION WAS NECESSARY
on his part, as was the case with the Idaho
Governor. as the Montana law provided
1E 1E Il h ng gaRE s4sHEs q RE The u a bees
capped murderer after the time set for the
original execution by the courts. So Godas
can be hanged at any time, if he is captured,
by the mere exercise OF few legal formali-
ties, in which the Governor takes no part.
The fort on the part of certain individ-
uals to create the impression that he had
neglected an important duty has proved
fat failure.
THE Law BEARING UPON
the point at issue can be found on page
474 OF the statutes, sections 3S7 and 3SS,
as follows:
Sec. 3S7. Whenever, for any reason,
any criminal sentenced to the punishment
OF death shall not have been executed
pursuant to such sentence, a.d the same
(the warrant of execution) shall stand in
full force, the Supreme Court, or the dis
trict court of the county in which the con-
viction was had, OH the application OF the
attorney prosecuting, shall issue writ of
habeas corpus to bring such criminal be.
fore such court; or, if he be at large, a
warrant for his apprehension may be
issued by such court, or any judge thereof.
Sec. 3SS. Upon such criminal being
brought before the court, he shall proceed
to inquire into the facts, and, if no legal
reason exists against the execution OF such
sentence, such court shall issue warrant
TO the sheriff of the proper county, COM
manding him to do execution OF the SEN
tence, as shall be appointed therein; which
shall be obeyed by the sheriff accordingly.

DESPERATE CAPTURED.
A Man Who Has Killed Twenty-Ssyen Men
Finally Taken Into Custody.

CHARLESTON, ". Va, Nov. 1.-THE confes-
sion of Ellison Hatfield, alias Mounds. who was
arrested about three weeks ago by Detectives
Gibson and Cunningham, Of the Eureka force,
implicated Alexander Messer as one Of the muir
derers of the three Mccoy boys in gust, 1882.
He 10 known as one of the most d. .perate char
acters on the border. and was very prominent
in the Breathitt county trouble. in Kentucky,
several years ago. He has killed fve. or six
men there, and claims to have killed twenty
seven men since the war.
The Kentucky authorities offered a reward of
$3.50 for his capture, and Gibson aud Cunning
ham have been looking for him ever since the
capture Of Ellison Hatfield, but as he had left
the Hatfield settlement shortly after the MUIR
der of the Mccoy boys. they had some difficulty
in locating hic. They finally found that he
was living in Lincoln county, on Ugly creek,
and on Wednesday they met a man ut Chap
mans store. in that reighborhooi. who an
swered TO his description. He invited them to
his home, where they went. During the con-
versation he told his name, when Gibson COW
cred him with o pistol and handcuffed him.
They lodged him in jail at Catlettsburg, Ky,
this morning.
Messer is about f~fty-two years of age, and
has a wife and ak children. He was once q
deputy sheriff OF Perry county, Kentucky, and
says be would have never surrendered but for
the fact that the detectives got between him and
his gun. He admits having lived with the Hat
fields at the time of the murder OF the Mccoy
boys, but denies that he murdered either of
them. He is the seventh Of the Hatfield Mccoy
gang who have been arrested BY the Eurekas.

CHICAGO'S ANARCHISTS.
A Society Organized for the Purpose of Re-
newing the Anarchistic Agitation.

CHICAGO, Nov. 1S.-About one hundred and
tw twenty-five men gathered this afternoon at
Griess Hall, with the understanding that they
were thsre for the purpose of organizing a soeie-
ty for reviying the Anarchist agitation among
the free-thinking laborers of Chicago. Grief's
Hall, No. 81 West Lake street. is the place where
the Lehr und Weir Vereiu was secretly drilled
a couple of years ago. A man named Bergman
took the chair and q Mr. Mosler acted as
secretary. One Gorline addressed the meeting and
advised the organization of a new society which
would act in tho interest Of the Social Demo
Gratis" he said that Chicago was now further
advanced In the cause than any other city 10
America, and was ready for such an organiza-
ton. He referred TO Inspector Bon6eld as a
liar and the tool of the capitalists press OF the
city. The speaker did not think it right 70
regard people with suspicion, but thought
they should try TO win them over
TO the cause. a Mr.. Bortels, repre-
sentine the international Association, opposed
the new organization on the ground that il
would only create dissension. The disagree
raents OF the various groups and small societies
sxisting In Chicago was the reason the Anarch-
lists MAO not made more progress. After q lengthy
discussion II was decided TO organize the new
society and name IL the "Arbeiierbuud" A COM
mittes OF three was appointed TO draft a consti-
tuition to be submitted at . meeting to be held
next Sunday.

has been elected to succeed Congressman John.
ston, of the Tsrre Haute district: During the
late campaign he was making q speech in q town
called Brookville, in the Brazil mining district
of Indiana, and was giving his audience. which
was composed mostly Of foreign-born miners,
nearly oil of whom were imported from Eng
land and Wales, some facts upon tariff and on
wages, and was very p~rofuse in his statistics as
as to the rate of wages obtained in the United
Kingdom for coal-minipg in comparison with
those paid in Indiana. He also described the
difference in the expense and comfort of living,
and made out q very favorable case for the
miners on the other side of the water. In the
midst Of his speech a Scotchman rose 10 the au-
dience and asked permission TO make a inquiry.
Mr.. Il. VOORHEES, Brookshire very read
lily consented. vhersupon the Scotchmau,
in n brogue as broad as the bail,
asked II he meant what he had said regarding
comparative wages, cost and comforts of living,
etc. DIR. Brookshire replied that he did; that
hs got his information from the very best
sources.
"well," said the Scotchman. in a broeue
which cannot be reproduced, II am not a citi-
zen Of this country, and 1 have not been here
very long; but l came from the place you talk
about. and / know every word you said is q lie.
The question / got up to ask was, how it hap
pens In this great, intelligent and enlightened
country such fools as you get nominated for
Congressf'
Mr.. Rrookshire's reply was drowned In the
shouts of the audience.

STORMY WEATHER AT SEA.
The Steamer Etruris Boarded by a Huge
Waye-0ne Man Killed and Others Injured.

NEW YORK, Nov. 1S.-One man killed and five
injured is the record Of the Cuparder Etruria.
which arrived at her dock this afternoon, after
a passage of a little over seven days of terrible
weather, during all of which the passengers re.
NAMED in the cabins badly frightened and suf-
ferinc great discomfort. 1t was one of the
toughest experiences that the Etruria's officers
have eyef known. The passengers express
some displsasure over the fact that the speed of
the vessel was never slacksusd and tho time
made was nearly up to the racing standard. The
officers, on the other hand. say that this COM
plant is unreasonable, as the rate Of speed has
nothing to do with the comfort or safety of
those on board the vessel. On Tuesday af ter
noon q higher wave than any yet encoun tered
was seen approaching. The seamen uttered
cries of warning and attempted to seek places
OF safety, but when the mountain of water fell
with a crash upon the vessel the men wsre
swept in a heap against one Of the Lighthouses.
When the water receded IL was found that
George Worpald, an able seaman, OF Liverpool,
was fatally crushed and bruised. He died soon
aftsrward. Seamen Morphy and Moett, and
two others. names not learned. and q steerage
passenger named Colt were cut, bruised and
famed. All were cared for by the ships
physician. The officers OF the vessel are ret
icent. and the attempts of reporters to obtain
details of the trip were met with some exhibit
tions Of Ill temper. Among the passengers were
George Mason and Archie Sinclair, the English
pedestrians.
The White Star steamer Republic also reports
very heavy weather. but no accidents occurred.
She was ten days making the trip. The passea-
gers speak highly Of the management OF the
vessel.

DEMOCRATIC TACTICS.

Tricks that Prevent Coiorsd Repubiicansfrom
Getting Their Ballots in the Boxes.
Special to tho Indianapolis Journax.
WASHINGTON. Nov. ia gentleman who
has Travelled extensively through the South.
and who was at Petersburg, Va, on election
day, said tonight that the claim Of General Ma
hone hat the State had cast its majority Of
votes for the Republican electoral ticket, was.
without doubt, well founded, if only o fair
count could be secured. In this one town OF
Petersburg. this gentleman asserts. there were
over eight hundred mon at the polls when they
closed, who were prevented from voting. They
were ready with their ballots. and there was no
intimidation; but. being mostly negroes. they
were detrauded OF their votes through contempt
ibls tricks which the Southern Democrats
know so we'll how to practice. He gave one in
stance, in particular, as a sample OF the manner
in which the delays were engineered. An old
colored man came up to vote. and, after stand
ing in line for an hour, finally 60: TO the polling
place. He was asked his name, his residence,
and all the other formal questions.
and then was required to tell who
his father was, give the name of his
grandfather, and to state who owned him before
the war. 1neu some OIner trluiug QUcstiouS
relative to the manner of earning his living. and
equally irrelevant subjects were propounded to
him. and by actual timing just twenty-thres
minutes were occupied with this one old carkey,
and he was the last one 70 vote that day.
The gentleman says, further, that the day be-
fore yesterday he conversed with q prominent
Democrat at Charlotte, n. c., who expressed his
firm conviction that there was not the ~faintest
doubt that the Republicans had really polled
more votes in the Tar-hsel State than the
Democrats. But" he said, Republicans will
never carry this State as long as
tho present laws prevail. because. no matter
how many votes they poll. it is an absolute i'm
possibility to secure q fair count where the
Democrats are thick"
Returning to the situation in Virginia. this
gentleman said that in Langston's district it was
positively known that in one polling place
Langstonis Republican opponent received only
eight votes. There were 172 ballots cast there
altogether; all but three Of them were cast by
negroes, and all but eleven were cast for Lang
ston. In making the returns the inspector re-
ported that Langston's Republican opponent
had received sixty votes. This naturally d.
vided the Republican strength, and prevented
Mr.. Laneston from appearing to have as many
as he ought 70 have had.

NATURAL GAS AND INSURANCE.
Buffalo Underwriters Combine and Discrim-
mate Against the New Fuel.

BUFFALO, Nov. 1.-THE board of fire un-
derwriters this week advanced the rate OF in
surance on buildings supplied with natural gas
% per cent. unless q patent regulator is placed
in each building by the consumer. The neces-
sity for this is not apparent to every body, for
the service is low pressure, with plenty of safe
guards, and the expense to consumers will ap-
proximats so, 900.
An investigation made to-day showed
that it was the work OF an insurance trust.
All the New York companies are now in
the board Of underwriters. Until recently
Ferguson g. Roth did a big business with non
board companies aud kept the rates down. The
monopolisis fought this firm by giving equal
rates IN special CAGES, but they could not drive
out the opposition. Kimball & Gibson, an in
surance firm, lately failed. The board people
then offered Roth some of their companies. and
gave him permission to renew all his old policies
once AZ the cut rate, il he would join them.
Roth did so, and now there is absolutely no
composition in insurance rates. The Under
writers are expected to further advance rates
unless the public make too strong q protest now.
Inc natural gas company's officials say that
there Is Absolutely no necessity for putting in
the regulators.

Doctor of Divinity" and the big Chancellor
has received the title and address. which came

ices of three Emperors in unrivaled devotion,
who never wearies, never loses courage. and
fears no one but God, TO whose providence in

i: appears that the great man, who conquered
France and bullies all nations successfully, is
absolutely ruled by just one thine-his own
stomach. For a long time he dieted himself
very strictly. largely. il is said. on account Of
his moral fear OF Schweininger, his physician.
But OF late Schweininger has been absent, aud
Bismarck has gone back to al bis excuses Of
beer, tobacco, indigestibls food aud SO on. Ii
was this that ultimately caused the death Of his
first master. old Emperor William. who would
persist in living on Holsters and salmon and in-
digestibls little cakes, in spite Of all his digest
i've troubles. II Is to be hoped that no little
cakes will have the glory of robbing Europe Of
