other subject was "Shall Senator Coke's

formally expressed. was that there should De

After the adjournment OF the Senate the

sideral0n. II was decided that the en-

The charge against young Case was that
on the NIGHTS of january 3 and 1. 1883, he
made several attempts TO wreck trains on the
Delaware and Hudson COmpany's railroad
near Sidney. The scene OF the first two at
tempts was al lonely point in the woods,
where there IS sharp curve in the road.
Here, at an hour when the night express
passenger train was about due, lot Of ties
and other heavy DISTINCTIONS were piled
upon the track. Most fortunately an extra
freight train under slow headWay came along
first, and while 1t ran into the obstruc-
tons 10 one was hurt and noserious damage
was done by the collision. The trainmen
removed the impediments aud the train
went on, but it was scarcely out OF sight be-
fore the ties were replaced. Another freight
trait following had the same experience as
the first, and this also escaped serious conse-
quences. The alarm was then given at Sid
ncy aud guards were stationed along the
track.
The next night Charles Putnam, one OF
the company's detectives, caught the boy

an open switch near the scene OF the pre-
yious attempts. When captured the boy
made partial confession TO the officer.
assigning as a motive that he "wsnted to
see the cars pile up" The Indignation
amoug the rsIlrOad.men was such that there
were ser Gus threats made OF ypching him..
Subsequently the boy retracted his confess
sion and stOlidly asserted bis innocence.
Eminent counsel were employed by his
friends to defend him al the trial. 1t was
maintained that the alleged confession was
extorted from him bv duress, and was In
fact false, inasmuch as it was physically i'm
possible for a boy Of his small frame and
tender years TO lift the heavy ties and plantl'
upon the track where they were fouEd. Au
attempt was also made TO establish an aibi.
The jury promptly found verdict OF
guilty. The Court, in consideration OF the
youth Of the criminal. committed him TO the
State Reiormstory at Elmira.
