SEQUEL o7 A HANGING.

A Reporters Experience with Two Broth
 ors. One of Whom Was Hanged.
 In the days when Horace Greeley was booming The New York Tribune, Fred. Har1iott was 9 reporter on that paper. In Bingbalnton, N Y, burglary was committed by three men. Two of these entered q store to secure the booty. while inc third was loft outside as a guard. This guard was vigilant and he saw by inc movements of a young man who ap- pealcd on inc scene that the burglars had been discovered Prompt action was necessary and inc guard was the man for tho situation. Before the young man could give the alarm the guard had grappled with and killed him. Hiding his victim in a dark corner he waited until his accompliccs finished their work and then, without a word of the deed he had committed, repaired with them to a rendezvous where the spells were to be divided. While thus engaged the mur- derer. managed to start a quarrel and in the scrimmage that followed he killed his two confedorates in crime and took all tho booty himself.
 The murderer, however, was not cun- hing enough to eludo the officers of jus tico. He was arrested, tried and sen fenced to be hanged. A few days be- fore the hanging Ha1Tiott was sent by Mr. Greeley to report the affair. liar Iiott interviewed the condemned, and found him to be in many respects Q won derful man. He was a crank of the first water, and was thoroughly unbalanced in mind. He was 8 scholar of wonder ful attaimnents, and as acquaintance progressed HaTriott learned he had some manuscript works in original Greek that any. college or institution of learning would be delighted to possess.
 Upon his arrest the man had given the name of Rulof. and that WAS all the pub lie knew If him, but HmTiott found more than that in the man, and he be came so interested in him that he also interested Mir Greeley, and by their combined efforts Q respite was obtained for the prisoner. TSrliott worked hard to secure the mans pardon, but he did not succeed, and Rulof was hanged. The newspaper man was the last one with whom he spoke befor5 the cap was pulled over his head.
 Harriott quit the newspaper bushes; and narriel Ciala Morris. He became hor manager and in tlet capacity found hi-aeclf some years ago in San Francisco While there the actress wished to have some pictures taken, and 3Ir. Marriott went to inc well known photographer:
 Cf..-, T7F-..-.g-,....,. F,,.- After 8 few moments talk with one ot the firm the thought that he had seer him before arose in his mind, and he di reetcd questions that in turn caused questions to be asked. The photographer appearance, manner and speech brought TO tTis memory tre hanging of Rulof il BingAanton, and when he found he wa talking to 1Lr. Rulofs0n his wonder grew 1 greater than eyer at the similarity of tn, name 1Ir. Bulofson drew from him tn, l whole story of the triple murder and tn hanging. He told how he had laboret ! for the condemned man and the interes he had taken iE him.
 The proprietor listened intently al through and noted down in a book o orders the appointment for Miss Morri for the next day. They parted and MI Har1iott began a stroll through the gal fery, looking at the pictures He ha not been long thus engaged when he be came aware of q c0nmotion down O the street below. He looked out of tn
 window and saw a crowd. Presently parted and some policemen emerge
 beaIing the form of a man. Even a
 that distance GIr. Iiariott recognized
 as inc man he had but 8 few minutes bt
 fore been talking with. It was Rulot

 to the roof Of the building and delil
 erately thrown himself to the pavener
 below.
 Rulofson was a brother of the murder

 been all over the world and had travele
