OVER AN EMBANKMENT.
Narrow Escape of Two South Side Men
from Death Out CaldwelPs Run.

Narrow Escape of Two South Side Men
from Death Out CaldwelPs Run.
Peter Wendell and Henry Buck, of the
South side, had a narrow escape for
their lives, out Caldwell's Run, before
daylight yesterday morning.
Mr. Wendell is senior member OF the
firm of 2. Wendell g. Sons, the well
known expressmen. Before daylight
Yesterday morning, in company with
Mr.. Buck, one of his drivers, he started
for his farm, about twelve miles east OF
of the city, selecting the CaldwelPs Run
route because it is shorter than the 9TH
er. 1t is also more dangerous, owing TO
the narrowness of the road at some
places.
When about three miles east OF the
city bad place in the road was reached,
upon one side of which was a steep
bank, formerly the side Of narrow ra-
vine. The horses were moving along at
q slow trot, with Mr.. Wendell driving,
when one missed his footing, stumbled,
and went over the bank, pulling the
other horse and the wagon and occu-
pants after him. Both Mr.. Wendell and
Mr.. Buck were thrown out and rendered
unconscious by the force Of the fall.
When they regained consciousness they
discovered that they were held under
the wreck of the wagon and horses, and
scarcely able to move. One of the heavy
horses was across Mr.. Wendell's chest.
Mr.. Bucks right leg was caught
in one of the broken wheels, and was
badly twisted, his ankle being sprained
and several small bones fractured. He
was the first to extricate himself from
the unfortunate situate in which the
two men were placed, and in spite OF
his injuries, made his way to the home
of a farmer named Cresswell, who came
to the assistance Of the men.
Mr.. Wendell was released after great
amount of hard work, and the two men
made their way back to the road, when
they were placed in buggy, and driven
back to the city, reaching here about
ten o'clock. Mr.. Wendell, whose inju-
ries were thought to be the more seri-
Gus, was taken to his home at the corn
er Of Twenty-Third and Water streets,
and medical aid was Immediately sum-
moned.
Drs. Alderman and Walden respon d.
ed. His chest was crushed, one or two
ribs fractured, and he was otherwise
badly injured. Last night he was rest
ing easy, and no danger was appre-
hended by his physicians. Bucks in
juries are not so severe. Both horses
escaped alive.

the dead woman lay on the south side
of the bed, in the position she had
when she plead for mercy and when
the first shot was fred. But for
small amount of blood, and the wounds
on her person, she seemed to be asleep,
and death had evidently been almost
instantaneous, after the first shot.
The causes which impelled Mailer
to commit this most 1oul
crime are rather obscure, despite all
that was adduced at the trial. That
the couple had frequent Quarrels was
shown, but it was also shown that these
were mainly because of his peculiar de-
meanor, he even having threatened the
girl with death in certain contingencies
before the couple were married. There
have been hints of other things, calcu-
lated to arouse the jealousy and anger
OF the husband, but there is no proof to
substautiate them, and in the Courts
and in the minds of the public Maier
stands convicted Of having taken the
life OF his wife with malice, with pre-
meditation, and without provocation.
When Maier ran away from the house
and threw away his revolver, on Four
teenth street, he got out onto the hills
east of the city, and thence made his
way, through the rain and mud. to Ben
WOOD. There he boarded a train and
went over into Ohio. He made his way
to Milwaukee and Detroit, applying for
work at each OF those cities, and then
impeled, perhaps, by curiosity as to the
result Of his shots, he returned
by railroad to Benwood, and
thence made his way over the hills
east of the city, following substantially
the route he had taken in his flight,
until he reached the vicinity OF the
Cemetery. There, on the afternoon OF
April 18th, he was seen by Mrs. Will
helm from her home on the Terminal
railroad, and she notified her husband,
and he and friend went up TO Maier as
he sat upon a stone near the b. * o.
bridge. Maier ran up the hill around
the south end of the Peninsula
Cemetery and east towards the
creek, pursued by the police, who
had been notified, and q number OF
others. The murderer fed down the
north face of the hill, across the rail-
read track, waded the creek, and ran
through the field to the pike, where he
was captured by Isaac Smith, and the
officers coming up, he was handcutfed
and taken to Jail. The trial commenced
before Judge PAUL April Goth, and on
the the 23d of that month verdict was
rendered of guilty Of murder as charged
in the Indictment The prisoner was
defended by Hon. G. w. Atkinson and
John j. Coniff, counsel appointed by the
Court. Sentence of death was passed
June 4th, the day of execution being fix
ed for August 5th. A stay was granted
on application OF the defense to enable
them to go to the Court of Appeals, their
chief reliance being the mental ire
sponsibility of the prisoner and the
absence Of material witnesses who would
show injuries early In life, ETC., calcu-
lated to impair his mind. The Court,
on October 1st, affirmed the decision In
the trial Court. The Governor. was then,
few days ago, appealed to for the ex-
>ercise of Executive clemency, with what
result the public is familiar.

gentleman Of this city who hit upon a
scheme to become acquainted with beauti-
full young lady who had attracted his at
tention frequently upon the streets. One
day he tipped his hat and smilingly OBJ
served. 'tYou don't remember me, al

she politely and curlously inquired "Why,

lied that he was treading on perilous
ground. "You are mistaken, sir, for have
only lived here two or three months" was
the naughty and chilly reply as the fair
maiden abruptly moved on, her lips curling
with indignation.

WRITTEN IN LETTER.
Maier has written letter addressed
to the REGISTER, which is now sealed
up and in the hands of his Spiritual Ad-
wiser, with the request that it be hand
ed to the paper after the execution.
This letter will be published tomorrow
morning, in the REGISTER.
There will probably be some IS or 100
persons present at the hanging, not
over that number, as very limited
number of tickets have been given out,
mostly to court officials, physicians,
members of the jury, newspaper
representatives and police Off
GERS. The enclosure in front
Of the gallows is just about large
enough 10 accommodate this number OF
people. There will be a jury present at
the hanging the members OF which
were not fully made out late last night,
but will be completed early this morn
ing.
Maier rose about eight o'clock yester-
day morning, and partook of a light
breakfast of ham and eggs and coffee,
and at noon time ate a light dinner.
Maier appears to be comparatively I'M
moved by approaching death. His ap-
netite nor his rest have not been dis
turbed apparently by his approaching
fate.
"Of late" said Father McElligott,
che never mentions the murder OF his
wife, and seems TO desire to forget 1t.
OF his approaching execution ne talks
freely, since he has heard that Governor
Fleming has declined 20 act in his be-
half. and thinks he will now be able to
meet the end calmly"
Rev. Father McEIligott passed much
of the night with the condemned man,
and will be with him as early as seven
o'clock this morning, and remain with
him until the end.
The Third ward school Will De closed
all day, as the excitement In front OF
the building incident upon the hanging
will greatly disturb the exercises.
Last evening Maier ate his customary
evening meal, and retired about half
past nine O'Clock, saying he ala not
know whether he would have good
nights sleep or not, but during the
evening laughed and joked with one OF
his counsel who was present, Mr.. John
j. Coniff.
The story seems to have gained ground
that the counsel for Maier, Messrs:
Coniff and Atkinson, have not visited
their client as often as they should.

fact that beth gentlemen have been out

it must have fallen benee
the wheels, for the bones were literally
crushed, aud the flesh lacerated in
shocking manner. He was also cut up
ON the face, and an ugly cash upon his
head, besides being bruised and
torn about the body. Bystanders, who
witnessed the accident rushed to his
assistance and carried him into house
near by while messenger was sent to
Benwood for DR.. Haskins. Drs. Has
kins and Arm brecht responded and in a
short time dressed his injuries, do
ing all in their power TO alleviate the
sufferings Of the unfortunate man.
He was afterwards removed to the
house of a relative at No. 1920 jacob
street, and later to the City Hospital in
the patrol wagon. His injuries while
serious will probably not prove fatal.
The engine which struck the wagon
was attached to the east bound passen-
ger train, known as the Grafton Accom-
mediation, due at Benwood about $3.50
o'clock.
