KING NOT CAST DOWN.
His Spirits Still Cheerful in the Face Of
Death.

MEMPHIS, Aug. 9.-Colonel King did
not spend today IN Jail as if he were
conscious that on Friday he is SEN
fenced to be hanged and oil avenues of
escape except through the governor
are closed to him. Last night he dis
cussed his lawsuits with Mrs. Pillow, IN
which David II. Poston, his victim, was
of counsel with Henry Blvens, y man
indicted for assssinatIng his fatner-in-
law. During the course of his remarks
he bitterly denounced Poston. This
This morning his only son, Haghton,
visited him at the jail and spent two
hours with his condemned father. The
death watch will be placed on
him tonight, and the work of
building the gallows will begin
IN the morning. 1t is the same on
which White, wife killer. Albert Bu-
nIsh and three negroes were hanged.
There IS q strong opinion prevalent
that Governor buchanan will commute
Kings sentence to imprisonment for
life. Public sentiment 10 wonderfully
aroused. The friends of King urge
clemency on account OF his family and
his age. th prisoner being 81 years old,
but those who believe the law should
be enforced urge that this is the test
case in which the question of whether
wealth and influence can save q man
from the gsllows when thore is not u
trivial circumstance connected with the
tragedy that can be urged in his be-
half.
His Sentence COMMITTED.
MEMPHIS. Aug. 10, 2:30 .. m.-Colonel
IN Clay King, who WAS to have been
hanged on Friday next for the murd er
of Lawyer Poston, IN connection with
the scandal of Colonel King and the
widow of General Pillow, has escaped
the galIows. Governor Buchanan has
commuted his sentence 10 imprison-
meut for life. Colonel King is 50 id to
have received the news calmly.

TOOK HIS OWN LIFE
Suicide of Judge James c. Nor
mile at ST. Louis.
CRITICISED BY A NEWSPAPER
His Examination IN Connection With
Libel Suit Belle I'd to Be the
Cause of the Deed.

sr. LOUIS, Aug. 9.-This city vas
thrown into great excitement shortly
before noon today by the news that
James c. Normile. Judge OF the crimi-
nal court. had committed suicide At his
boarding house, No. ] ,422 Washington
avenue. Later reports confirmed the
rumor. Judge Normile returned to his
boarding house At 10 O'Clock this morn
ing after = short visit TO the business
portion Of the city. On entering
the house he requested his
landlady TO como to his room
IN an hour, stating tnat he
felt unwell and might be seriously i'll at
that hour. The judge returned 70 his
room and when il Was visited by the
landlsdy at IL O'Clock she found MIN
iylng dead on the bed. On = small
table was An empty phiai which had
evidently contained acid OF an extreme
and deadly character. Physicians were
~ once summoned, but u glance showed
that the victim Was beyond all human
aid.
Left Note For the Coroner.
On the stand adjoining the bed was q
note addressed to the coroner, the Ion
tents of which are at present withheld
from the public. but which are sup
posed to give the reasons for the self-
murder. Some time ago the Post-Dis-
patch of this city severely criticized the
judicial administration Of Judge Nor
mile. and recently the Judge
brought SUIT for libel against
that paper in the cum of $780,
0oO. Yesterday dispositions were
taken in the proceedings, and Judge
No-mlle was subjected TO = severe ex-
animation as to his xntecedents, life
and rulings. 1t is believed the exami-
nation preyed heavily on his mind.
Last night ne Was seen in various re-
sorts and gave evidence of having
drank heavily. He reached his home
at late hour last night and left it
early this morning. saying that he felt
unwell and would return later. He re-
turned at 10 O'Clock with the result
stated above.
Trouble with the Post Dispatch.
The following note was found in .
diary on the person of Judge Normlle
and had evidently been written TINS
morning:
"For more than year the atrocious
libeIers of the Post Dispatch have had
me on the rack. They have almost un-
fitted me from performing my judicial
duties and made life little less than a
protracted torture. For the past week
have slept but little. Iconcluded to 60 to
the officeand kill Florence White, mana.
ging editor of the Post Dispatch, but /
have just tins morning abandoned this
purpose, as 1 shrink from taking hu-
man life, especially while being judge.
! cannot fight this paper in the courts.
The law is slow and it would be more
than year probably before l could
get the damage case brought to trial.
crave rest which, also, / must seek on
the grave, upon whose brink pencil
these closing lines.
