swindIed by an Old Trick.

NEW YORK, Dec. 19.-Wm. Noble,
the millionaire builder of this city,
has been swindled out of $4,000 by
the bogus silver mine trick. On Sep
tember / he was told by DR.. Henry
Robinson that dying patient Geo.
C. Bowen, had revealed the secret of
q very rich find IN Granite, Colo. 1t
could be bought cheaply, and there
was literally "millions in it," and all
that Bowen asked was that his old
mother should get 100000 out of the
profits. AS result Mr.. Noble began
negotiations for the mine. and after
going to Colorado he paid over $4,000.
Hefirst discovered that he had been
duped when in Denver he received
the following dispatch: Don't go TO
Granite. You will be the laughing
stock of the community. The mine
is myth.

man his attorney. Kemmler. who is very dull OF
comprehension. paid no attention to what he was

the papers until nearly o clock, when Warden
DursIan went III ana formally explained to him

and The warden said: ut means your execution

two months and perhaps longer TO live
Oh said kemmier, just as though the facts
were beginning to dawn upon him. that makes
me feel much easier.''
kemmiers face was expressionless and he
sat down without appearing greatly astonished.
The future of the case will probably be one OF
again protracted litigation. When kemmler1 is
produced at Canandalgua the arguments Will
take some time and it will be weeks LANCER
before the decision of the court is minded
down. If adverse, Sherman may appeal
this will result in further delay. Lawyers de-
clare, however, the application will not be sue
cessful as they assert, it is clearly within the
limits OF the decision of the supreme court IN
case where it was claimed that the eighth pro-
vision of the constitution applied to state laws
imposing certain punishmentS. In that case
the supreme court decided that the provision
applied TO national and not to state legal viola
tions. But should the federal court decide
the law unconstitutional, New York state will
be confronted with this problem: There Will
be in prison number of condemned
murderers who cannot be put to death. The
law providing for rope as the means OF exc
cution. it is argued by lawyers, has been sup
planted by the electrical law. II the latter IS
ruled out, the state will have no law for capt.
tai punishment and lawyers say that a new
statute which might be passed providing means
of execution could not affect those sentenced
prior to its passage.
