SHE PLEADS WITH JUDGE WILBUR.
Says She Has Done Nothing to Merit

Unjustly Treated-She and Her Hus-
band Kept Road House.

'Have mercy on me your Honor! Have

Such was the prayer Of Henrietta, bet
ter known as Mrs. John Stanz, as she
stood before the bar in Judge Wilbur's
court this morning. A sentence of of 500
and costs and sixty days in Jail had just
been imposed.
Henrietta and her husband, John, have
been before the public for many years.
They kept road house at the edge of
Washington Park, on Broad street, just
over the Cranston line and for years have
caused the police of the town no end of
trouble by persisting in illegal liquor sell
ing. About three years and half ago John
shot his wife Henrietta in a fit of jealousy,
but she recovered and went back to live
with him.
Finally John got pugnacious again and
one day argued with his wife to such an

assault, bat pending the action of the
higher court jumped " his bail, so il is
said, and his whereabouts are now un-
known.

dicted for keeping nuisance, ana since
this has been brought into court three
times before on a capias and to-day makes
the fourth.
About a month ago she came to an agree

she should leave the place. She went

AN AMERICAN CITIZEN.
He was Once Russian Sailor, but
Took Out His Papers.

A young man rather poorly dressed. but
good looking and intelligent, sat outside
the railing in the mayors office this fore
noon awaiting his turn to see the chief
executive of the city. He seemed rather
nervous and attracted a little attention on
thai account, but was supposed To be one
of the numerous applicants for aid.
When he was finally admitted he talked
in a straightforward manner TO the Mayor
and told the following story:
A number of years ago he was seaman
on Russian man of war which touched
at New Orleans, where he deserted. He
lived six years at New Orleans and took
out naturalization papers and became "a
citizen of the United States.

took him from that port as deserter and
he was sent on a cruise again, but recent
ly deserted at Boston and Is now trying TO
get back TO New Orleans. He had been
told that the Russian government was
taking steps to arrest him aud he was anx-
ious to be protected as "a citizen of this

JUMPED THE TRACK.
Might Have Been a Bad Freight
Wreck at Hebronvile.
ESPECIAL TO THE NEws.l

HEBRoNvILLE, Jan. 12.-The {" all rail "
special freight from New York to Boston,
leaving Providence at 40 A. NJ, jumped
the track at East Junction between
Hebronville and Dodgeville this morning
The freight was due at East Junction
shortly before o'clock, and on its arrival
backed on the junction track and attached
several cars which had been waiting. As
the train passed over the main
track onto siding, the engine rode "A
frog and left the track dragging eleven
cars with it. The slow rate with which
the freight was moving at the time averted
what might have been serious accident.
As it was, the track was badly torn up
and several telegraph poles felled to the
ground.
A wrecker and gang of men were at
once sent out from Boston. The cars were
no. badly damaged, although the axles of
two were bent.
Engineer G.. W. Thame attributes the
accident TO the severe storm of sleet which
clogged the frog. A brakeman narrowly
escaped injury, being thrown from the
top of the car.
The work Of righting the cars was ac-
complished shortly after noon.

ANOTHER SUICIDE.
Welcome Hoel of Johnston Cuts His
Throat from Ear to Ear.

And now it is Welcome Hoel, an old
resident of Johnston, about 62 years of
age, who has put an end to his existence.
He gave as his excuse that he had lived
long enough and was tired of life.
His suicide took place yesterday after
noon about 3 o'clock in a large open lot
from which men were carting stone. y
more deserted or bleak k-looking place il
would be hard to select. Early in the
afternoon the man was seen in the village
of Simmonsville, where he lived, in
state of intoxication. He walked directly
towards the Simmons plat, by the farm
house, through a narrow pathway which
led to the spot where he was afterwards
found. About o'clock Hiram kimball,
a laborer on the farm belonging to B. +.
Almy, was passing, when he ran upon the
body of Hoel. His throat was cut from
directly under the right to within
an inch of the left one, the
deepest incision being made on the former
side il being evidently the starting point
from which he thought he would jump
into eternity. The ground was covered
with snow, that had absorbed the blood
that flow ed from the ugly cash in n con-
tinuous stream, and coat, vest and shirt
were completely saturated with gore.
kimball was thoroughly frightened at
the horrible sight Hoel was then, though
alive, in a very exhausted condition from
loss of blood, but was able To speak. He
was, with the aid of some other farm
hands, picked mp and conveyed TO his
home, where his wife and one daughter
were awaiting his arrival.
Dr. Toms of Thornton was summoned,
as was also Sergt. Holbrook of the John
ston police. The doctor rendered the nee
essary surgical assistance, and expressed
it as his opinion that the man was in
very critical condition, but might possibly
recover. Hoel said he was weary of exist
ence and wanted to die. He sank gradu-
ally through the night and ceased to
breathe mt "A little past midnight.

his former employment being on the
street department. in the town, which has
been laid off Tor the present. He was, il
is reported, never known TO entertain any
such thought before, but his old age, com
bined with the irresistible temptation To
drink, prompted the rash act of yesterday.

SAVED BY A DOUBLE CHIN.
A Narrow Escape at the Riverside
Mills TODAY,

Yesterday morning a young man named
Otto Stark, an employe at the Riverside
mills, was endeavoring to throw off belt
while the machinery was in motion, when
long pole which he was using became
caught between the pulley and the belt,
jerking it from Stark's hands with
lightning rapidity. A hook which was in
the lower end of the pole first tore large
piece out of jumper he wore
and afterwards caught him under
the chin, sinking deeply into the flesh He
was hurled with terrible force against the
ceiling of the room in this manner, being
carried up by the hook. He was rescued
with but few other injuries and walked
with the utmost composure to the Doctors
office. Ii was the physicians opinion that
had it not been for the large double chin
whicn the fellow had he would have been
killed beyond doubt.

CANON CITY, Jan. l2.-Dr. Graves arrived

alone, having been accompanied from
Denver by four others sentenced for vari-
GUS offences
DIR. Graves was handcuffed to fellow
prisoner and seemed unusually calm, talk
ing over current affairs, but absolutely
refusing to speak of his own case. When
the massive pile of stone comprising the
penitentiary was approached It's outer ap-
pearance seemed to present a colder effect
even than the intensely cold weather.
AS the doctor was conveyed through the
outer wall he shivered as If from cold.
After being taken into the prison he was
hurriedly searched, but nothing Of inn
portance was found upon him.
His handouts were then unlocked from
those of his fellow prisoner, and he was
placed by himself in cell.
The jailer with his prisoner stopped in
front of cell 3, and having opened the door
requested the doctor TO enter. He hesi-
tated, and in a husky voice exclaimed,

waited a few moments and again request
ed him to enter. He did so, and after en-
terin0 threw himself upon the iron cot
and begged TO be left alone.
The doctor will be taken to the prison

his remarkable locks and aristocratic
side whiskers, after which a striped suit
will take the place of his well-ftting
