AFTER EIGHTEEN YEARS.


A Convict at Chester COnfesscs to an Old
Murder.
Penitentiary Commissioner J. j. Brown,
of Vandalia, ILL.,, while on recent visit to
the southern Illinois per iteutiary, at Ches-
ter, came in possession OF the following
interesting facts There Is q convict iu the
Che ster penltentiarJ by the name OF Davis,
sentenced for ten years, from White
equity. Davis vas the cell mate
of one Charles Henderson,, former
resident of this tFayette) county,
and we'll remem cred by the people Of
Vandaha. Henderson is now serving q
ten years sentence from CHRISTIAN county
for an inhuman crime. Some time ago he
was taken sick in prison, and thinking he
was going to die sought to release his con
science by relating 10 his cell mates the
shocking details of . murder, most foul,
committed in this county eighteen years
ago, and conf. .ssing that he AMI his
brothers were the murderers. The crime IL
well remembers J, the victim being Frank
Little, :, young farmer residing in the
northern part of this county.
Little and his two sisters lived tegett or,
and were known to be among the very best
people of the neighborhood. Tue night of
ihs murder Little was seated at IN organ
playing aud sing ns, accompanied by his
sisters, who stood by bis side. shot was
fred through window, and l. tile fell to
the floor dead. Immediate steps were taken
BY the people of the neighb ,rhood aud off.
GERS to hunt down the murderer, bat little
or no clue could be obtained. Years
passed. and still nothing developed which
could possibly lead to the Identification of
the assassin. aud as time fed ths horrible
event most faded from the memories Of
our people.
Nov, the circumstances of the occur.
resca are suddenly and une xpectedly re-
visei under peculiar aud surprising condi.
tioDs, and there is yet probability that
the perpetrators may, alter all, be brought
10 punishment for the crime of eighteen
years ago. A barn of Campbell Nave, en-
uncle ef the murdered man, living in the
same eighbolhood, was burned . short
time after the murder, AID Henderson also
admits that he and his brother were guilty
of tits crime. His brother, he says, is
nov in Maluc.
Charles Henderson has . uniformly bad
record and is perfectly capable Of such .
criue ss he confcsses to. He is now serv-
ing his second term in the penitentiary.
The 6rst was for implication IN the theft
of . carload of cattle from J. NJ. Parke, of
Vera, this county, which was brought to
vandal,a and shipped to Chicago. His
present sentence for ten years is for
crime committed at TaylcrviI!e during the
campaigu OF 1888. A big political fight
vas in progress at that place, when Hen
dersop, was located there "a a veterinary
surgeon, sneaked around sfter darx aud
poisoned thirty or forty horses, from the
effects OF which several valuable animals
died. He was arrested for the deed, aud
in frv days confessed to it.
1hs convict, Davis, TO wh,m the con.
fession was mate, and who impaired the
sam to Wsrden Dow.ll, is . Kentuckiao,
an intelligent man, and bears the repuia.
tion among prison officials Of being truth.

DIED OF STARVATION.
SUFFERING AND WANT AMONG
LABRADOR RESIDENTS.

Many Of the Settlers Along the Coast RE-
ducsd tp the Verge Of Starvation and
Now Living ON sculpins and A1usssis-A
Party Of twenty Three Succumb.
Terrible suffering exists In Labrador, and
many have died OF starvation. A letter
received at Halifax from the Church Of
England missionary, dated juno s, reads
as follows: Snow 10 piled up in heaps -
heavy as any time in winter and Ice ~
solid. In consequence there will be long
and extremely severe winter. Many set
tiers along the coast are reduced to the
verge of starvat ON, and have been living
on sculpins, musssls, etc., for . long time.
A party Of twenty three Esquimaux left
that neighborhood in January in search Of
deer, and having found none, the whole
party died of starvation. We passed
through . trying winter and had bad
fall. There Was scarcity Of fur and seals
aWted intenBe cold. In some places II has
been one Of suffering and want; but in NO
case that I have heard of so far has It
ended in starvation. In my own immedi-
ate neighborhood many are existing on
mussels alone"

In travelling from the New York stock

brokers saw little shaver OF about bare
footed and ragged. The little fellow has
sold newspapers in the nsighborhood, but
it wasn't time for the evening papers, and
he looked idle and more or less disconso-
late. Tho brokers took the little fellow
into Delmonico's with them, got an empty
cigar box, cut . slot in it and nailed il mp,
and with the little fellow solicited SUBJ
scriptions from oil their friends in the
place at the time. They then took him
into the exchange with them and passed
the box around there. A result little
over 500 Vas collected. The boy stuffed
the money into his ragged pockets and left
for the seaside,
