The Social Fabric.

Correspondence ofthe Capital Journal)
In your issue of June 22d you speak
of former citizen of Salem as being
In jail, and of some other facts in re-
gard to him. And In connection
with very excellent sermon deliv-
cred on Sunday by Rev, Rollins, aud
and an inquiry by small boy of
this city, go to make up a very in
teresting chapter of the unwritten
history of Salem. You speak of sus-
picious circumstances connected
with murder in Portland. The
wife Of whom YOU speak was, three
years ago, n healthy, good looking
young girl of South Salem, and died
soon after the circumstance of which
you speak. Rev. Rollins spoke of
what constitutes our remembrance
Of Others, or Of hearing name
spoken, when the persons character
and all, at once comes To mind, in
the same manner rs we knew them,
morally and otherwise. When the
youth heard the article read he said,
"Oh--is that the man that used TO
ride with Mr. Blankg" Ii was he
and more. While SAID former citi-
zen was we'll known To be an
ex-convict, and associated with all
that Is immoral, he was an associate
of many who pose rs very respect
able, and wens handy rs bondsmen,
when justice fingered near. He was
lucky then. In fact we are becom-
ing very compassionate towards the
criminal class in general Some may
think such matters should not be
spoken Of, but facts are facts aud the
effects of such things ars far reach.
ing, aud are felt 10y some, whether
10y the s,me ar other people, The

johnny McAIIister, the Boy Murderer.
Passes Quietly Away.

Eashts
This morning as the hands on the
clock at the state penitentiary indi-
Gated that in ten minutes more 1t
would be six o'clock, the spirit Of
Johnny McAllister, the youthful
slayer Of his parents, took leave Of
its earthly fastenings and passed on
TO the great beyond.
The reader is familiar with the
crime for which this mere boy was
sentenced to life term at hard la
Dor. He killed his parents while
they were sleeping, and his trial re-
suited in life sentence. Less than
one year ago Johnny, then but thir-
teen years of age, was brought to the
prison. He was an industrious lad
and was doing nicely in the shoe
shop, where Mr.. Downing had
placed him to learn the trade. There
he would work after the fashion of a
ooy and play as only children play.
He would spin top with childish
glee, seemingly wholly unconscious
of the great crime he had commit
ted or of the future before him
as a life prisoner. After a few
months he was taken i'll and
the doctors gave it as Their opin-
ion that he was falling into quick
consumption. Growing gradually
worse, Mrs. Mex nnon, the noble
and charitable wife Of the Warden,
took the boy into herown household,
that he might receive proper care
and tender nursing,
Weeks glided swiftly on and as
the warm sun Of spring found its
way through the leaves and window
and fell within the quiet bedcham-
ber, it lighted the face of the dying
boy. He coDtinued to grow weak
er until three days ago, when he
was too weak to talk or even whis-
per. He then became unconscious
and his kind attendants, B +. Wat
kins and w. w. Saunders, saw that
the end was near. They nursed
him through his dying hours and at
$50 this morning the little sufferer
received his pardon from "a higher
power and his soul was at rest. He
had gently passed away, without
breathing a word of his crime.
The deceased will perhaps be
given outside burial, as he has rela-
tives and friends living near-in
Marion county.
