Michael W. Whelan was hanged in
East Wheeling, near where the Central
glass works now stand, on Friday, Sop
lember !, lS4S. Richard Sims was then
sheriff, under the old magisterial law,
the oldest justice of the peace being er
oBicio sheriff, but Isaac w. Mitchell
bought from him the financial business.
Sims undertook to spring the trap with
his cane, but failed, and Mr.. Mitchell
knocked the button with his heel and

His crime was the murder OF his wife,

one.

ATTEMPT 70 ESCAPE.

As The day OF execution drew near the
air was full OF rumors that they would
never expiate their crime on the gibbet
that their friends had plauneda rescue
on rho day OF execution. Whether any
such intention was really entertained
we caunot say with certainty, but it ia
Il .act that by the aid oil outside parties
the two prisoners succeeded in effecting
their escape from the jai! and came
near to accomplishing their purpose.
The iall in which they were confined is
the one formerly known rs the Old jail,
situated on Market street few doors
north OF tenth street. Long was the
first one who was re.arrested before lie
had time 10 get very lar distant, SO
prompt was the alarm given. The
friends OF Wintringer, however, had
provided horse OF which lie had been
advised, which he succeeded in reach
ing, and mounting tho same he AT once
struck out Tor liberty, urging the ami
mai 10 its utmost speed. while crowds
OF foot and horseback followed IN the
year. He had reached point on Main
street near Seventh when his horse
stumbled and feli throwing his rider
IRON his seat, and before he could re
cover himself his pursuers were upon
him, and his capture was effected.
This attempt at escape, which came
30 AGAR being successful OIL the part OF
WinTiEger, taken together with the
sensational reports prevalent IN the
community, aroused the Indignation Of
the citizens and from this time until
they were hanged n strong guard WAS
kept around the prison night and day,
and every precauiion was made TO meet
and repel any attempt OF this charac-
ter should such he made.
Fortunately tho threats OF attempted
rescue on the day set for the execution
proved in the eId 10 be idle once, and
il any sGch were contemplated, those
who planned IL were either inundated
by the determined stand taken by
the public that the law should be vim
dicaied Mt all hazards, or because they
were deferred by sober second thought.
SO excited was the community that in
the event OF any such movement had
been made, blood would have been
shed and lives sacrificed. On the
morning OF tho execution an immense
crowd assembled 10 witnessihe sad and
novel spectacle.

Burn. was hanged in public on scat.
fold erected on the slope below Mount
Wood cemetery. IN Jonathan's Ravine.
lIs crime was the murder on May 10
Of the same year OF Mary Ann Montony.
She was q cour,esau, and her dead body
was found on the hill in sight of the
spot where Burns was aiterward
executed. A party OF dissipaled men
and women were c0rousing about fire
ON the hill when Burns, who had Il
grudgo against the woman. drew his
pocket knife and stabbed her thirly
times or more, This did not kill her,
and he struck her several times with
hand.biily. He and companion, Oscar
Myers, then went away. but or Myerss
suggestion went back, and Burns bent
the woman to death with sharp stone,
after stunning her by throwing large
stones at her head.
lie was convicted and sentenced. and
during his confinement in jail made an
attempt to take his own life.
On Friday, the third OF September,
he was conducted to Jonathun's RAJ
vine under guard OF the State Fenci-
bios, in command OF Capt. Alonzo l.or-
ing, and was hung in the presence OF
crowd estimated at 10000 people, the
surrounding hillsides being black with
people.

"DOC" rO0II

On Friday, March 10, 1858, Robert G.
Poole, commonly known as doc" Pool,
was hanged on scaf'old erected not
lar from the same spot where Burns
was executed Il few years before. Pools
crime was the murder OF Adam Buch.
Major AlonIo Loring, who commanded
the militia guard ut the execution OF
Burns in 1858, was sheriff in 1868, and
hanged PoC, and Rev. Mr.. Barnes, OF
the Fourth street church, and Rev. 5.
B. Barnilz, OF the English Lutheran
church, were his spiritual advisers.
The ground was covered with snow, but
as on the former hanging in the same
rnvine the natural amphilheatrG formed
By the hills which surround the spot on
three sides was densely packed with
people. The body was allowed to hang
half hour, when DIS. llildroth end
Hupp pronounced life extinct. Alter
the hanging the scatiold was burned.
Pool during his confinement had Il
beautiful white ring dove as his con-
slant companion, and all through the
accounts OF the proceedings in his case
printed in the lSTELLtGgNcER OF that
day the dove is mentioned. Two days
before he was hanged he was photo
vraphed with the dove perched on his
hand.
BuCh, the man who was killed, kept n
grocery in East Wheeling, and also sold
liouor. Pool claimed that he was drunk
when he shot him, and alleged that he
did not know whether he shot Buch or
Buch shot himself. The evidence was
clear, however, and after once being
sentenced to hang in February, the
hanging was postponed till March IS,
when Pool died firmly, protesting peni-
tence.
A coincidence was that while Pool
was in jail and undergoing tr!nI here,
his brother Albert was also tried and
convicted nj Parkersburg, Wood county,
OF the murder OF an ex-comrAdc in the
army.

date either for congressional or gubernato-
rails Donors. For some months Capt De-
Wis has been very prominently spoken of
for governor by leading Florida journals
besides hosts of democrats who would be
proud to honor HIM with any position in
their gift, and his final determination not
to allow his name to 60 before the nomi-
mating convention will occasion regret
throughout the state.
Capt. Davis, however, will take An &C
tive part in the coming campaign and will
stump the state for the democracy. His
power as an orator will inspire every voter
to do his whole duty and, as in former
campaigns much of the party success this
year will be attributable to his untiring
efforts in the party's behalf
But to a man who has been endowed
with great and brilliant mind, as Is the
case with Capt Davis, we hold that it is
not his right to decline to deliver himself
up TO party success and the good of his
state-that right lies with the people by
virtue of the intelligence vested in him,
and by him it should be used in promoting
their happiness and the welfare of their
country. The affairs of state would be
safe in the keeping Of such q man.
Like Bloxham, Capt Days belongs to
Florida He may rest from the tolls of
Office for the present, but at some future
time the people will call him to the post Of
honor.

baby dssxhter a MI. md Mrs wi1liaM Clay.
IAN angel came from Heaven one day
wee child-angel, frail and fair
And nestled. OF 90 lovingly,
Into the home of an earthly pair;
Folded her wings in sweet content,
Smiled love into loving eyes again,
fingered q blissful space and then
All, bitter sorrow then back she went,
And the home she hghtened grew suddenly dark
With the going out Of that tiny spark.
'But the little hand, ere she went away.
Was gathered full Of the tenderest ties
By which she might draw the souls she loves
To the beautiful world that holds their prize.
SO safe; where no sorrows nor sin belong
Where through pastures fair and golden street
Angels are guiding the little feet
The little feet that cannot 60 wrong
That cannot weary and bleed like ours,
In her thornless path among the flowers.
"And OH when tempted and sorely tried,
When the world seems hollow, false and cold,
Grieved hearts, look up to the better land,
Where your treasure is in the heavenly fold
o never resist the gentle strength
OF those clinging hands that would lead you
home
When the infant voice shall utter at length
The precious titles 1t could not here:
Welcome, dear father and Mother. dear"

Now, therefore, I, Francis p. Fleming,

xhAs DassanguisAeA VirginAaM be-
comes q Cisasen OF Tallahassee.
Ex-Gov. William e. Cameron of Peters
ourg. Va, brother Of Miss Eva Cameron Of
Tallahassee, has moved here and will make
the capital city of Florida his home.
Speaking of his departure the Petersburg
Daily 1ndex-Appeal says:
Ex-Governor William e. Cameron's
numerous political and personal friends in
Virginia will learn with regret that he has
concluded to make his future home in Tai
lahassee, Florida, for which place he left
yesterday afternoon. Gov. Cameron came
before the public at very early age as edi.
Tor OF the Index, and speedily and easily
look place in the from rank of the journal
istic profession. He was potent and in
nuen tial factor in shaping the policy of the
true people Of Virginia in the trying pc
Rod known as the era of reconstruction.
he was indefatigable with tongue and pen
IN promoting the success of the new move
ment, which resulted in the election Of
Gilbert G. Walker as governor of the state
over 81. b. Wells and his carpet-bag crew.
For several terms he was mayor of the
city Of Petersburg, from which Office he
was carried by the people of Virginia to
the governorship of the state against
Hon. John W. Daniel, one of the ablest
and most popular Virginians that ever
| lived. 1t is no small tribute to Governor
Cameron's ability that in that memorable
canvass he met Senator Daniel repeatedly
on the stump, and was often more than q
match for him.
Governor Cameron carries with him to
his new home the good wishes of the peo-
pie OF Virginia, irrespective of party.
Genial and gifted to an extraordinary de-
gree, he will undoubtedly make numerous
friends in Florida, and the Index-Appeal
predicts for him successful and brilliant
career in that state
