Laggard Justice.

Yesterday, Philip Baker, the
murderer of Mrs. Neil Nelson,
was hanged, at the Parish Prison.
Baker should have been executed
months ago. He murdered the
unfortunate lady in March, 1891.
and though the crime was charac-
terized by the utmost brutality,
and though the murderer, in the
hope of saving his neck, Sought to
SANDER his victim by the most
cowardly and indecent stories, it
was only yesterday that he was
compelled to pay the penalty of
his crime.
Etienne Deschamps was also
sentenced to be hung at the same
time; but, almost at the very hour
the execution of this hoary old
wretch was appointed to take place,
Gov. Nichols reprieved him until
the Board of Pardons can act upon
the report of a self constituted
board of lunacy and decide whe-
Their or not the criminal is a crazy
mesmerizer and magician. Des-
champs murdered little Juliette
Dietsch more than two years ago.
The murder was most atrocous
one; the facts in the case are too
revolving to print. There was not
a single extenuating circumstance
connected with it. The story is
one of such beastly atrocity that
it is difficult to believe it. And
yet, number OF sentimentalists
in this city have interested them
selves in the life of this v;lianous
wretch and managed, for over two
years, to keep his neck out of the
halter.
When the Board of Pardons,
some weeks ago, refused to recon-
mend the pardon of Deschamp, or
the Communication of his sentenca
and the Governor had signed the
death warrant, there was a feeling
of relief in the community. 1t
was then believed that, though the
justice had been unduly delayed,
the murderer was finally about to
be punished. But yesterday, to
the disgust of the community,
Gov. Nichols granted the reprieve
to enable the Board of Pardons to
pass upon the report of the self
constituted Board referred to
above.
The unfortunate death of the
lamented Judge Mari, who was
the trial judge in the case, and
hence member of the Board of
Pardons, makes the Board in this
case tie. When tho case WAS
first before the Board Judge Mari
and Lieut.. Gov. Jetfries voted
and Attorney General
Rogers for, q recommendation of
a Communication; if, therefore, the
Lieutenant Governor and Attor-
hold to their original
opinions, there will be a tie; but
in that case we assume that, as
there will be no deciding vote, the
original action of the Board will |
stand and Deschamps be hanged. |

A Female Deputy Sheriff.
Came Prepared and Bore off Her
Prisoner in Triumph.

The novel spectacle of a prison.
er being taken from the central
police station in the custody of a
female officer was seen the other
morning, when Benjamin Hit, of
GAINESVILLE, started for Belvidere,
ILL.,, in charge of Mrs. A. T. Ames,
under sheriff Of Boone county,
says the Milwaukee Sentinel.
Hit was arrested at boarding
house upon a charge of stealing
several hun2red dollars worth of
jssvelry from Mrs. Ames, the wo-
man who took him to Belvidere.
A telegram was sent tc Sheriff
Ames notifying him, and he an
swered that an officer would be
sent for the prisoner.
The officer was woman, 35 or
40 years of age, thil, and of slen-
der build. A pair of piercing
black eyes looked out from under
dark eyebrows, and the firm, re-
liant step showed she was wo-
man of determination. She wore
a small black bonnet, a plush
cloak. and black and gray travel
ing dress. In her right hand she
carried a russet-colored grip. She
went to the central police station
and to Inspector Riemer's office.
He recognized her at once, for
she had visited the city twice in
search of her man.
Hit was brought to the inspec-
tors room, and his face colored
and he hung his head when he
saw the woman he is said to have
robbed standing before him. Mrs.
Ames' eyes frightened when she
saw the prisoner, for whom she
had been searching for almost two
months.
"Well, well, Ben I've caught
you at last" she said. You
ought to be ashamed of yourself
for robbing the women who be-
friended you. But I'll make a
man of you when l get you back
to Belvidere."
Hit learned that Mrs. Ames
had no requisition papers, but
agreed to go without He was
then led back to his cell.
Then Mrs. Ames surprised the
detectives who were in the office
by opening her grip and a pair of
handouts. "You see, l am pre-
pared for the return trip" she
said with a smile, as she handed
the ''irons" to an inspector, and
remarked that she would like to
leave them there until morning.
1t was the first case on record
in the history of the Milwaukee
police department where a female
officer had called to claim a pri-
soner, and it naturally surprised
the officers, especially when Mrs.
Ames announced that she, single
handed and alone, would take the
prisoner back to Belvidere, a dis
lance of over 100 miles, and by a
route that necessitated two
changes of cars.
A little before train time she
arrived at the Chicago and North
western depot with Hit. He is a
large man with meek, unintelli-
gent face, and he is evidently very
much afraid of the fair officer of
the law. At the depot Mrs. Ames
marched her prisoner up to the
cigar stand, where she purchased
a half dozen fine Havanas for him.
Hit was not shackled, as he had
given his word of honor that he
would not try to escape, and Mrs.
