A voluntary Sacrifice.

Ex Treasurer Il. ii Flynn, OF this city,
who has for some tune past been under
indictment for embezzlement Of Custer
county funds, and under bonds for his
appearance at the next term of the Cir
cult court, voluntarily went to Sheriff
Wood on Monday, and expressed a
desire to be confined in the county Jail,
which desire was complied with since
which time he has remained a voluntary
prisoner his bondsmen having taken no
action whatever to deprive him of his
liberty. This self imposed sacrifice OF
liberty is conceded to be fairly mex
plicable, and with view 10 reaching a
reasonable solution of the mysterious
cause Of such a step, a CmRoSIcLE re-
porter visited him at the Jail on Tues
day. He was found seated upon his
couch. engaged in reading, and in answer
to the question as to why he chose con-
finement within the walls of prison in
preference to the enjoyment Of his
liberty, he replied, II can no longer
enjoy liberty in my situation, and
think it best that my bondsmen should
assume no further responsibility in my
case" While it was apparent that he
was suffering greatly from mental de-
preston, his mental faculties were OBJ
viously intact. He declared it TO be his
fixed intention to remain in confine'
ment pending his trial, be the time long
or short.
This is probably the first case Of volun.
tary sacrifice ofpersonal liberty that has
eyer occurred in the Black Hills, and is
source of the deepe surprise and
astonishment TO the people Of this place
