He Narrowly Escapes Being Stune
to Death by a Venomous
Reptile.

Judge William D. DAILY and Senator
Robert Hudspeth have just returned
from visit to the Judges brother-in-
law. Mr.. George Nye OF Mel
rose, near Auburn, New York
The Senator enthusiastically declared
that Mr.. Nye has the handsomest place
in New York State. He has over thirty
acres of park on the banks of the river.
The two gentlemen had plenty of shoot
ing while away and brought home
large hampers of quail, partridges and
other game. The name of the slayer Of
the birds did not accompany either box.
The visit passed off without mishap ex-
cept for the narrow escape which Judge
DAILY had from death by the bite
Of venomous reptile. The first day
visit Mr.. Nye told them that the
only drawback to his beautiful place was
the deadly salamander which .fiourisned
spite of all he could do the
venomons reptiles made their way ITO
the house and secreted themselves in the
beds and other hiding places. 1t required
inmates of the house to escape
the poisonous sting of the reptile.
That night after all had retired and the
household was as quiet as the grave,
everyone was aroused by a terrible racket
coming from Judge Daly's room.
Mr. Nye and the Senator cautiously 4p-
preached the Judges room and peeped IN.
They beheld the renowned iurist startd-
ing in the centre of the room ar
rayed in his robe de mutt abd
making the most violent lunges at bis
bed, all the time calling down tine worse
maledictions upon some object in the bed.
When the Judge saw Mr.. Nye and the
Sapa he than
that one of the blankety blank salamand-
ers had gotten into his bed Mr. Nye
told the Judge that he knew just
how to hrndle the salaman der and caut-
iously approaching the bed with dex-
ferrous move he seized the reptile and
held up TO the view OF
those in the room rubber frog such as
children play with. Judge DAILY
acknowledged the joke in an appropriate
manner

.HALLINGER MAY HANG
Peshall's Appeal Has Been
Denied by the Supreme
Court.
PROSECUTOR WINFIELD'S VIEWS.
How Judge Green Regards the
Matter-As Practically and
Positively Settled.
WINFIELD's VIEWS.

Prosecutor Winfield said today that the
appeal of Edward w. Hallinger, the con-
victed mur urderer. had been dismissed by
the United States Supreme Court. He
said as soon as he received the informa-
tioa he sent to Washington for an order
Of the Court formally dismissing the APP
peal, and as soon as it arrives Hallinger
will probably be resentenced by Judge
Knapp.
When l asked Mr., Winfield If Lawyer
Peshall would take any further action in
Hallinger's case he replied that he did
not know. but Mr.. PeshalI could make
the same attempt to save Hallinger from
hanging that he mad already made. The
Prosecutor was not certain that the Court
would allow Mr.. Peshall to do this, but
it was among the possibilities.
1t this is true Hallinger will never
hang.
At the County Jail I was refused adj
mission to Hallinger, the reason being
given that Hallinger had not been in-
formed of the decision of the Supreme
Court and that no one should see him
until his counsel made known to Hallin-
ger the condition of his case.
