WAS THOMPSON GRAHAMs
We're There Two ThOmpsOnss-A Let
ter From Thomas Holiday In
Regard to the Matter.


day writes the LEDGER the follow.
ing letter in regard to Charles
Thompson. claimed by some to
have been the same man who com
mitted suicide in this county un-
der the name of Charley Graham:
To the Editor of the Ledger.
FREDERIcKTowN, No., Nov. II
Dear Sir: Answering yours of
II inst. have TO say that one
Crippen, a tin peddler, who lived
at Potosi, Mo-, hired a man named
Charles Thompson to drive his
team. Down in Ripley county,
Crippen was murdered, robbery
supposed to be the object. Thomp-
son and two other men were ac-
cused of the murder. The then
sheriff of Washington county,
John T. CLARK, now of Jefferson
City, located Thompson and ap-
pretended him. He was indicted
10 Ripley county, took change of
venue to Iron county, and at the
Oct. adjourned term 1873 of the
Iron Circuit Court, pleaded guilty
to murder in second degree, was
sent to the penitentiary and par
doned by Gov. Crittenden, Christ
mas, 1882. At the time of the
indictment and conviction it was
currently reported here that the
man was the Charles Thompson,
who deserted his wife and child at
this place, but as she had obtained
a divorce and remarked no inves-
tigation was made that l am aware
of. | knew personally the Charles
Thompson, who lived here. The
prison record of the convictThomp-
son, which l now have before me,
suits him In every particular, ex-
cept as to age. The prison record
puts him at 81. And Thompson
was several years older than that,
but he had young, boyish look,
and was younger than his wife.
His son, Joseph, looks very much
like him. Joseph Huff, now snd
thsm Circuit Clerk of Iron county,
who knew our Thompson wien he
married Malinda Compton, says
that the Thompson who was con-
victed is not our Thompson-''is
not the man." My brother VIM.
J. Holiday, who now lives here,
and who was a guard at the pen
itentlary in 1S79-sO, says that the
convict, Thompson, was our
Thompson. He knew Thompson
when he lived here, understood
fromDr. Moore oiIronton, who knew
Thompson, that he had been sent
to the penitentiary, and when a
guard at the penitentiary, he sent
for him and recognized him and
had several talks with him about
the murder of Crippen and about
his divorced wife and child. That
Thompson told him that he had
seen me and my wife at the peni
tentiary, but that we did not know
him, and requested him (my
brother) not to let US know he was
there. My brother married in
Ripley comfy, and had lived there
prior to the murder.
At first I took some interest in
the death of your Mr.. Graham,
but as the facts began to develop, I
began to dismiss the matter, feel
iEg in doubt in the premises. I
have given you the pros and cons
as fully as they have come to my
knowledge, believing it is due to
the good people of Audrain
county that they have all the in
formation about the matter attaina.
BILE. Yours truly.

A AIKITE TRACK WANTED.

Track.
From the Rural World +.

From the Rural World.
Missouri needs kite shaped track
located somewhere in the central
part of The State, in town able to
supply The right soil and site, good
railroad and hotel accommodations
and the necessary stable equipments
all the year round, for from two to
three hundred horses. Given good
track, an enterprising town and
people aud it would attract and be
the resort of the pick of our horses
and the best of men. We need an
Independence in Missouri and the
Rural World has very little doubt
but that 1t will very soon be forth
coming. There are to-day, scores of
men and hundreds of horses await
ing its coming, men who either can
not or will not go long distances to
other States, or otherwise spend
time aud money to effect the end
sought; but let such track be once
built and at a place that will be
popular with owners and developers
and records will be made and bro
ken and thousands Of dollars be ad-
ded in value to our breeding stock
and It's progeny. Ifsomething of the
kind is not done before. we hope
action will be taken looking thereto
at the forthcoming meeting of the
Missouri Association at Mexico. It
is not a question of a kite track or
an oval track, but the necessity of
being able to afford developers of
trotting and pacing speed, the self
same facilities met with elsewhere.
This, we think, could be had at
either Mexico, Moberly or Sedalia;
each centrally located, having ex-
cellent accommodations and first
class railroad facilities. At present
Mexico is in the lead, but whether
able to fill the bill and willing to
meet the requirements remains to be
seen,

Tho VOL, of the SNOW.

Snow has several curious methods of ex-
tending the sphere of its hostile influence.
The comparatively light SHOWS which fall
in our latitude are of minor Importance,
since they readily yield to the early spring
sunbeams. They are in some degree bene-
fetal to the fertile surface and protective
to its more tender annual plants, while
their only important adverse effect is the
dangerous flooding of the rivers, due to
their rapid melting. But the deep and
persistent SHOWS of northern regions are
far more exhaustive of solar heat, and re-
duce the agricultural season of those re-
gions to a dangerously short period. In
their melting, Also the surface air is
chilled, and winds from the north convey
this chilled air far TO the south, thus
spreading widely over the warmer zones
the frost inducing influence of the melting
SHOWS.
We have seen how the tropic heats are
carried toward the poles by winds and
waters. The frigld cold is carried toward
the tropics by the same agencies-chilled
winds and cold ocean currents. 1t is car
ried by another agent of great Importance,
the direct creep Of the snow itself toward
the lower attitudes. This agency has once
perhaps many times-produced an ex-
traordinary effect upon the surface of the
earth, one far surprising that of volcanic
explosions and lava outdows in its adverse
influence AT present this glacial action is
greatly reduced but is still of much inn
portance. Charles Morris in Popular
Science Monthly.

Which public funeral in England has

timated at a million and half persons,
were congregated along the line of the
route, distance Of three miles, to witness
