On Saturday an ISTELLIoEScER re-
porter visited tho penitentiary at
Moundsyille and had an interesting in
teryiew with Thomas ]. Kelly, alias
Robert Ferris, ono OF the two men con-
victed and sent to the ponitentiary for
life for the murder of Policeman Joe
Glenn. When Kelly was sent up many
people doubted his guilt, not so much
because of the strength of his own evil
dence as because of tho weakness OF
that for the prosecution. Recently it
came to the IXrELLIa ENcER's knowledge
that Kelly was seeking corroborative
evidence Of his proof of an abb, and
that with some success.
Kelly in talking Saturday still main
tanned his innocence, and he showed
letters and papers which seemed to
bear out his claim.
On his trial James T. Conlin, Of Mo.
nongahela City, Pa, testified that Kelly
was at his brickyard on January Is and
II, 1855, the night of the murder. Sat-
urday Kelly also received an affidavit
from James Porter, known US Scranton
Slim" that he saw him there on the
morning aftor the murder, and while
they were both there heard an account
OF the killing read from a Pittsburgh
]. I. Roley, mayor OF Belle Vernon,
Pa, ccrtifies that Kelly was there a
week before tho murder, leaving on tho
thirteenth.
In addition to this evidence, man
named Dowden, who had boat house
at McKeesport, and a Mr.. and Mrs.
Slater, of the East-End, Pittsburgh,
corroborate part Of Kelly's story, under
oath, while the mayor Of Shelby, Ohio,
efiectually demolishes one of the
theories OF the prosecution OF Kelly
that is, that he and Christie were to.
gether from the time of the killing Of
Glenn here till their arrest for burglary
at Newark. Tho police records at
Shelby show that Kelly was there alone
at ono time, and that Christie passed
through at a later date, and near the
time of the Newark robbery, on tho
day after which Kelly and Christie both
swore they first met.
Kelly's papers, while not conclusive,
certainly arc sufficient to raise a reason
able presumption OF his innocence,
under all the circumstances. Tho chain
of evidence is complete, and only the
credibility of the witnesses remains to
be inquired into. II these afEidavits are
true he is the victim OF cruel wrong.
1t is easily Understood how he failed
to get this evidence OF his first trial.
People of his mode of lite do not know
half the people they meet. Kelly in
telling his story on the stand frequent
ly spoke OF people whose names were
unknown to him who iffound could
corroborate his statements. Much OF
the new evidence was obtained by Mr..
Conlin, and part OF it by officials Of
towns where Kelly had been, to whom
he wrote. They were actuated solely
BY motives of humanity, and ono or two
had notices inserted in newspapers
which led to finding the witnesses
wanted.
Kelly did not seem much encouraged
by the outlook Saturday. He said he
had no money and no means OF raising
any. Ho thought if had some funds to
have his case taken up by lawyer he
could secure pardon. "As it u.s." he
added, pathetically, ~ suppose l shall
never get my freedom"
The prison officials say that Kelly
and Christie are both model prisoners.

FROM ADVERSELY TO PROS
PERITY.

Amid the crash of falling creeds
and life long fanaticisms which to
day maks a new epoch in the world,
a thrill of expectation prevades the
very air we breathe. The onward
march of progress heeds not the
petty likes and dishes of weak man
kind; 1t overthrow ancient dogmas
of our forefathers as worthless and
in their place gives us clearer Judge
ment born of present necessities
when the day dawns. as 1t now has,
for larger truth to be made mani
fest, it comes as does the dawn,
silently but with an irresistible, un-
comfortable force, which none of the
time-worn conservatisms of party
can withstand.
Many may strive to shut out this
new born light and way, for time,
darken their own mentality by
closing their eyes to the new truth.
The rising demand for justice to sill
yer may be checked at one point by
one pa-ty or held at bay by the
other but when the tide Of honest
conviction of the best interests of
mankind rise billow upon biiiow
they will sweep like flood across
Uncle Sans broad domain from Sea
70 Sea and from Lake to Gulf bearing
upon their breasts the triumphant
Neptune of Free Coinage. The
meritable victory of the new
over the old has never failed to
awaken the fear of the fearful, but
the future has ever demonstrated the
wisdom of the new thought. Pre-
cisely so with the faithless now IN
progress in the political arena and
when it is finished and the candi-
date of the silver party is elected the
men upon whose shoulders has fall
len the brunt of the battle will have
proven themselves the vanguard OF
real progress. If in the midst OF
this babel of confusion those who
are racked with doubt and who fear
TO leave their long refugees, the old,
shattered regular party Will lay
aside prejudice while carefully study
ing the whole situation they will
| believe be forced 70 the conclusion
that the word has gone forth that
there must be change and that this
change must come before the as
pirations of their higher natures are
satisfied. The air IS vibrating with
expectancy and the rights Of the
masses demand recognition.

TOUGH SCHOLARS.

We should judge from the follow
ing from the Albuquerque Times
that teaching in the sandy city was
no picnic:
heard the other day of one room
in the public schools where five diff
ferent teachers since the opening of
the session had eft, bled" and re-
treated with and from mob of
thirty odd boys. There is something
radically wrong in that institution or
such anarchy as that could not pre-
vail. "There is nothing that will do
that gang any good but fail, and
that you are not allowed to use,"
plaintively said one of the conquered,
as she lay on the bed where the
fiendishness of those lads had placed
her. Those mothers pets must not
be touched with the rod, and kind
ness, moral suasion, quiet, dignified
example have no more effect on such
little barbarians than water on
ducks back. They must be dealt
with firmly and gently, very much as
you handle Kansas case eggs. The
nerves of the boys must not be dis
turbed, but the five poor teachers
who are fleeing from the city and its
public school, as from a pestilence;
who are propped up in bed trying to
regain their mental equilibrium and
normal equipoise by listening to the
h. O. t. some other instructor is hay
ing; who are trying to figure out how
one months salary is going TO stretch
out over board, room rent, washing,
doctors bill and sundries-their
nerves and bodies didn't seem to
count at all.
The boys in that room are not
small children, so there can not be
the apology of baby restlessness
offered for them. They are lads of
IA, 5 and perhaps is, and some of
them, / know, have sensible, lady
mothers who have no nonsense about
them in other things and ought to
have none in the matter of the edu-
cation of their sons.
"Why'-said one teacher to me
woman whose sweet, low voice,
expressive face, repose and magnet
ism ought to be enough to bring
quiet and respectful attention out of
the widest riot of roaring human
boys, "why, they just get up on their
feet and howl. Bedlam was never a
circumstance to the uproar, and 1t
will kill any woman who tries to
bear it. ~
