THE ANTE TRAGEDY.

4 srArENExf HRON M. y0s. a. REID.
PEARL RIVER, Jan. 4, 1891.
To the Editor Of the Timss-Ds0oesas:
learn from to-day's issue Of the
1fmes-Democrat that I Wa charg-
ed with being accessory to the muir
der (?) Of C.. G. Houeye 1t Amite
on Jan. 2 instant. I had agreed
t. defend John Penton u Coving-
ton on Tuesday next. ct prelimi-
nary hearing. Penton has surren-
dered and this week offers the
only available opportunity to e.
cure him . hearing On application
for bond before the court convenes.
After indictment the court win not
entertain such application. The
importance Of the trial this week b
apparent. But for these facts I
would return to New Orleans and
surrender to Sheriff Mix. I leave
on the first train for Covinzton to
surrender to Sheriff Cook.
The charge against me b ridic-
uIous In the extreme, - indeed b
the charge againt Stern and Leopold.
Nothing but malice and imbecile
advice could have prompted the
prosecution. The insimati0n In
your specials that I am avoiding
arrest is utterly false. The D,s-
trict Attorney knew Of my intended
trip and conRdsd to me . docu-
ment for Mr.. e. D. Saunders, to |
be handed to him on Saturday |
morning in New Orleans. I vas
upon the streets al day Saturday |
and spent Saturday night with my |
family. I took the cars - usual |
and came down to the New Or.
leans and Northeastern Railroad
Depot, as I generally do when com-
ing to ST. Tsmmany. ] had APP
pointed Sunday morning to meet
Penton here and 60 with him to
covington. I have been with 81
deputy sheriff al day. A DELAY in
. trial will doubtless in
'olve . short imprisonment, much
o my modification and 10 the I'M
bounded delight Of parties whom I
'ould mention, who are 1t the bot
ON Of this prosecution. I BY no
Means indulge In the fear Of any
rouble st Amite-a fear which

correspondent at Amite. The n.

ritter IL IN outrage. j.

A Iraa was arrested recently In the ac3
OF stealing pocket handkerchief from
lady. He was formerly well-to-do
bakor In suburb, when tho mania
seized him Of collecting ladies' cambria
handkerchiefs. Ho would accost lady
In the street and ask her TO sell him her
handkerchief. II she refused he would
get into a temper, and bid more and more
for Il until he got It. Many women In
the neIghborhood traded upon his mad
meas. and the man spent nearly all his
money in this way.
After becoming bankrupt, about fve
years ago, he began to steal handker-
chiefs. and he was imprisoned for three
weeks about four years ago. AS he had
mover been caught since, tho police be-
ileved that his imprisonment had cured
him. but when taken he was found TO
have fifteen cambria handkerchiefs upon
him, which he confessed to having stolen
In one hour.
He has never stolen any other article,
and every week he was In the habit OF
destroying by fire the common handker-
chiefs, which he had stolen by mistake,
as his strange mania is limited to cam
brio, especially II scented. In his bed
room four hundred and thirty-four cam
hric pocket handkerchiefs were found,
and II is believed that he has concealed
many more in hiding places which he re-
fuses to reveal. He was sent to mad
honoa

my breath became short, and l had
such queer, tumbling, palpitating
sensations around the heart. Iached

sHavon't you something of interest to
relate about your owo circus life and the
show business in general?" inquired OF
Dan Rice.
aThe story of my life Is a strange one
"a very strange one. Forty years ago
/ first entered the ring, and since then
