| IMPRISONMENT AND TRIAL.
Sheriff Rasicot brought him to the
county Jail in Little Falls the following
morning (Necnesday). And the follow
ing Tuesday evening, Dec. 4, word was
received that mob was coming from
Bucklnanand Royalton to lynch Bulow,
and the sheriff and two deputies took
Bulow and another prisoner to Brainerd
in a buggy. He was returned in few
days, and has been in the cage since
then, with the exception of when he
was before court. At the March term
Of district court the grand jurs indicted
him for murder IN the first degree and
on Tuesday, March 5, he was brought
before the court. G. A. .Lindoergh was
appointed to defend him, but the
prisoner did not desire trial. Two
days later he appeared before the
court and plead guilty, and on Friday,
March s, was sentenced by Judge Searle
to solitary confinement in the county
Jail for 80 days, and thereafter, on day
fixed by the governor of Minnesota, to
be hanged. The sentence produced no
effect on him. Since his sentence the re
has been guard with him in the cag7
night and day. Previous to the expira-
ton Of the 80 days the governor fixed
July 10 as the day of execution. Early
in July an effort was made by Bulow's
attorney to have the supreme court set
aside the Judgment under which he
was sentenced and it was after the
supreme court had refused to do so that
Bulow showed the most signs of grief.
He was in tears for several hours, but
for the past week he has appeared in
the best of sperits, spending most Of the
time he was awake in playing ards aud
singing his "Execution Song, "a copy OF
which appears in another column. He
has nearly always refused to see
strangers, and very few people besides
the attendants have seen his face during
the past three months.
! BULow's HISTORY.
Since Bulow's confinement he has
said little that gives any clue to his his
tory or identity. He claims to have
been born in England twenty-six years
ago, and that his father was German
and his mother English. lie says he
has been in America seven years. He
has been known about Little Falls for
about three years, making his head
quarters with a Barr family in Green
Prairie. He generally went by the
name Of Albert Meyers here. and under
that name worked on the water power
here for /; short time, and also in the
brick yards. He worked for VIM. Ped
ley on his farm just east of the city dur
ing the winter of 1878, and was an
occasional visitor ut his place. While
at Mr.. Pedley's he gave his name as
Sam Hessel. All those who associated
with him while he was employed here
regarded him as Il quiet, inofensive
young fellow; he was industrious and
apparently of good habits. During the
summer seasons he generally worked
OIL the work train of the Northern Pa
citic, and had also been a brakeman and
fireman on freight trains. He claims
that he had been discharged from po-
sition as brakeman on the Manitoba
road a few weeks before he murdered
Eich. , -. ..... \
From outside sources it appears that
4 he had been a criminal for years. A
SIletter received hv Sheriff Rasicot from
an officer in sWaupaca county, Wiscon-
sin, soon alter the prisoners arrest
here, stated that his name was Albert
Bulow, ahd that in 1885 lie had stolen
a team from that county, and that $500
had been expended in trying to arrest
him. The letter enclosed picture: that
was certainly @Bulow's. Other informa.
ton tends to- show that Bulow was
guilty OF horse stealing in Dakota. f.
