A DESPERATE HANGED
TAlTON HALL PAYS THE PENALTY
OF A HUNDRED CRIMES.

His Friends did not Garry out their Prom
ise to Rescue Him A Threat from the
GaIIows PIedging his Sister to Kill his
Enemies.
Talton Hall, the mountain outlaw, was
hanged at Wise Court House, Va, dur
ing the past week. His neck was broken,
and in seventeen minutes he was cut
down. Talton's friends made no effort
to release him. They had been holding
daily conferences in the mountains near
the town, and frequently sent men to the
Court House for reports, but they sa"
that the preparations were too formid-
able for them.
The civil authorities managed the
affair admirably. As soon as it was an
nOunced that the Governor would not
interfere with the sentence the guard was
trebled and every approach to the village
was picketed. 1t was not until the day
before the execution that the sympathiZ.
ers with the desperate decided that it
would be useless to attempt rescue, and
Hall realized that his last hope was gone.
He then set fire to his bed clothing in the
hope of burning the Jail, but the guard
extinguished the flames before any harm
was done Talton's sister, Mrs. Bates
visited him in the early night and took
care of him.
He told her she must not rest until she
killed three men who were responsible
for his death. He no doubt had refer
ence to Judge Skeen, Detective Pryder
and Doc" Taylor, leader of rival gang
of outlaws. Hall spent a sleepless night
and drank quantity of whiskey. He
refused to eat breakfast.
The hanging was witnessed by forty
persons. On the outside of the Jail yard
were fully five thousand mountaineers,
more than the entire population of the
county. Excitement ran high, as it was
as much as the guards could do to keep
the throng from tearing down the fenc-
ing in order to see the execution.
Talt. made a speech. There was a
slight tremor in his voice. He said he
was prepared to die, but was innocent of
crime. He referred to what he told his
sister with regard to disposing of his ene-
mics, and said they would soon follow
him. The man displayed an iron nerve,
and did not finch when the rope was put
around his neck and the black cap ad-
justed.
Talton Hall had a criminal record
which has probably never been paralleled
in the United States. He was credited
with ninety y-nine murders, and while this
is probably an exaggeration there is no
doubt that he is responsible for the death
of at least twoscore men. He was born
in Letcher county, KY, forty-six years
ago, and grew up with such desperadoes
as John Bright, who is credited with
twenty-seven murders, and Doc Taylor,
against whom he is now so bitter. These
men Joined Guerrilla Morgan's band
when the war broke out, and made
themselves conspicuous for their deeds Of
reckless daring.
Halls last victim was Enos Hylton, a
policeman, whom he killed on July IS, |
1891, at Norton, little town six miles
rom Wise Court House, at the junction
If the Louisville and Nashville and the
Norfolk and Western roads in Virginia. |
This act led to his arrest and trial. Hall |
wrote his life in Jail, which will be soon
published.

LIZZIE BORDEN HELD.
Her Case to go Before the Grand Jury on
a PriHa Facia Case of Murder.

Judge Blaisdel, at Fall River, Mass,
after hearing all the evidence, decided
to hold Lizzie Borden for the grand jury
as primd tGciG guilty of the murder of
her father and his wife. The de-
cision created much surprise as the
theory on which Lizzie Borden was &C.
cused almost completely broke down
before the testimony. That theory as
that Lizzie was embittered against her
father and stepmother, and that her
father had declared his intention of max.
ing a will in favor of the stepmother.
This supplied the motive. 1t was then
assumed that Lizzie first attempted to
poison her parents, and failing in that,
butchered them with a hatchet found
in the cellar, and which contained red
stains.
The evidence showed that Lizzie Bor-
den, under the secret examination made
by the District Attorney after the muir
der, failed to give connected and per-
fectly consistent account of her actions
and doings on the morning of the muir.
der, and her testimony was contradicted
on some points by the servant, Bridget
Sullivan, and other witnesses. This,
however, constitutes the case against her.
1t is held that Mrs. Borden was murdered
from an hour to an hour and a half be-
fore Mr.. Borden, and that Lizzie Borden
and Bridget Sullivan were the only other
persons in the house at the time, and con-
sequently one or the other must be guilty
of the murder, either as principal or ac-
Cessory. As Bridget Sullivan accounted
for her actions to the satisfaction of the
coroner, and Lizzie Borden did not, the
latter is adjudged on primd f0cid case
guilty of the murder.
The prosecution failed to show any
evidence that 3Ir. Borden had intended
to make a will, or that there was any par
ticular bitterness in the Borden house
hold. The testimony of DR.. Woods, the
chemist Of Harvard College, showed that
there was no poison in the stomachs of
Mr.. and Mrs Borden, nor was there any
evidence of blood on the clothes of Liz
zie Borden or the hatchet - ilh which il
is assumed she committed the murder
On the contrary, two witnesses for the
defence testified that a strange man,
pale and greatly agitated, was seen in
front of the Borden house on the morn.
ing of the murder. 1t was also showD
that the house could have been entered |
from the outside without the intruders |
being seen by neighbors, and that Lizzie |
Borden even if she were in the house gf- |
ter the murder Of Mrs. Borden. could not |
have seen her corpse without entering
the room.
On the whole, Lizzie Borden has been
held for murder on weak prinia tdcid |
,ase. 1t is believed, however, that the |
District Attorney has evidence held in |
'eserve for the grand jury, and which he
lid not wish e defence to have posses
lion of at this time.

SALT WATER FOR CHOLERA.
A Wonderful New Remedy Stays the Dis

Wonderful New Remedy Stays the Dis
ease in Hamburg.
a report from Hamburg states that
the official figures Of the new cases and
deaths reported show great falling off
both in number of new cases and deaths.
Great interest Las been reused by t. g
simple. but seemingly effectual, treat
ment recommended by Professor North
nagel and Professor Kahler. 1t may be
that the decrease in the fearful mortality
can be ascribed to this treatment, which
is nothing but giving the patients enemas
of warm salt water. 1t is claimed by
those who have followed this course of
treatment that its result is marvellous.
In some cases where the patients were in
such state of collapse that it was impos-
sible to discern the pulse, recovery has
followed the application of the enemas.
The claim is made that the death rate of
the city has been reduced fully so per
cent through this efficacious method Of
fighting the disease.

Curious Experience of Fishing Schooner

Curious Experience of Fishing Schooner
in Pacific Waters.
A press report from San Diego, CAL,
SAYS that the five-ton fishing schooner
Lulu, while off Port Canovas, $50 miles
south of San Diego, Cal, had a strange
experience. Something thumped her
terrifically from below. The vessel
raised out of the water from the middle,
as if forced up by powerful jackscrew.
She went up like a fash and fell back
just in time to right herself. Then some
thing struck the rudder a powerful jolt.
The next instant huge whale, appear
ing to be wounded, threw water from
his spouting apparatus all over the ves-
sci. The monster swan rapidly away,
spouting at irregular but frequent inter-
gals, and the crew got down on their
knees and offered up thanks for their
safe delivery. The schooner is at San
Diego for repairs.
