HIS EFFORTS TO ESCAPE.

Curtis Murder Trial at San
Francisco.

CHEYENNE, Wyo., Feb. 2O.-Execu-
tive clemency alone now i~ntervenes be-
tween Charley Miller and the gallows.
Miller, when is years old, murdered
two young st. Joseph, Mo-, men,
named Emerson and Fishbaugh respec4
lively, in a freight car in the neighbor-
hood Of Hillsdale, this county. The evil
dence clearly showed that both youths
were murdered in cold blood while asleep
for the few dollars in money which they
possessed. He was sentenced to death
somewhat less than a year ago. Much
sympathy was at first expressed for
Miller. His youth. apparently weak
mind, and the fact that he had been
raised in an orphan asylum and after
ward buffeted about a good deal, natur-
ally mitigated the ofense in the eyes Of
many people.
His true character has since been un-
folded. Instead of being an imbecile
he is found to be gifted with much low
cunning, andin instinct heis adepraved
criminal. He is constitutional liar.
His Efforts to Escape.
Two Jail breaks have taken place since
his incarceration, and he participated in
both. In the first, Corporal Frank
B. Parkinson of the Seventeenth. in
fantry, the alleged murderer of Private
Roy Baker, successfully eluded his pur-
suers, while Miller, foot sore and suflen,
was picked up neal the scene of his own
murderous exploits. When Kingen, the
convicted Nebraska cattle thief, escaped
on New Years eve last, he had with
him a colored man named johnson and
Miller. Kingen died in a blizzard on
the open prairie while headed for his
Nebraska home. Miller was picked up
as he Struggled in the dead mans arms
for protection against the cold.
Robbed His Companion.
Miller had robbed his COMPANION of
all he possessed S. note-and it is be-
lieved made a fruitless attempt to get
away alone. but, failing, returned to the
spot where the body ofhis dead compan-
ion lay. There he was captured and ia
ken to the county hospital. He told a
dozen different stories of the affair.
Four frozen toes were amputated from
one foot. and he is again in the county
jail as full OF health and devilment as
ever.
The supreme court, to which the case
has been taken on a writ of error, rend-
cred its judgment. 1t affirmed the judg-
ment of the district court. Miller was
then taken into the supreme court room.
He wa asked if he had any thing to say
why the sentence of the law should not
be passed. He replied in the negative.
He was then sentenced to be hanged

the eXPresident are not yet relying I'm
plicitly upon very substantial support
from the blue grass State.
Iowa is still true to Boies-so loyal,
indeed, that even the most sanguine Of
the Cleveland leaders have abandoned
hopes of receiving any support from the
Hawkeye State in the great preliminary
battle of the first ballot.
The seventy-two votes Of New York
are conceded to the Hon. David B.
Hill, and it appears probable that he
may receive a couple of hundred more
from various sections of the Union.
Cleveland people are no longer indulg-
ing in any hopes that the Hill man
ayers will magnanimously recede from
their past position and submit to the
nomination OF Cleveland, but are
now using every effort to placate the
Tammany leaders and induce their loyal
support of the ticket in the event Of
Cleveland's nomination. There is man
ifest one slight change IN the diSpoSi-
tion OF the Tammany leaders. They
are no longer talking so loudly aud
so continuously of the hopeless
ness of carrying New York
for Cleveland in the event
Of his nomination and although no one
doubts their intention TO loyalty sup
port Hill to the end, eX-Secretary Whit
ney aud others tonight express the be-
lief that in the event Of Cleveland'S
nomination Tammany will acquiesce in
the inevitable and give the ticket Wig
orous and effective support.

grounds of party expediency have been
wen back to their first love, and to-
night the names of German and Morri-
son, and Campbell and Russell which
were so frequently discussed a day or
two ago as dark horses to come into the
political field as the inheritors OF the
great New York leader are scarcely
mentioned in political predictions.
The only svowed presidential candi-
dates in the field tonight are
CLEVELAND, HILL AND BoIEs,
and the situation is cleared up to the
extent of indicating plainly to all that
the dark horses are not to be ushered
into the political arena unless Cleveland
shall fail Of nomination on the first
ballot.
The Illinois delegation under the di-
rection of General Sohn NJ. Palmer, the
presidential candidate of the Prairie
State will vote for Grover Cleveland
on the first ballot and probably
on various succeeding ballots, so long
as the ex-President shall be in the race.
This announcement which is unof1i-
cially made from the Illinois headQuar-
ters to-day, has given great impetus to
the Cleveland movement, and the lead
ers of the ex-President are asserting
with great confidence that they have
now assurances of the two-thirds vote
requisite for nomination.
Indiana has given unmistakable evil
dence that its delegation will not act as
a nnit, and that Gray will not receive
more than seventeen or eighteen votes
from that State, the remaining twelve
or thirteen being cast for Cleveland.
Ex-Governor Campbell has taken par
ticular pains to announce that under no
circumstances will he allow his name to
enter the list of presidential candi-
dates. Tne Cleveland people are rely
ing upon thirteen votes of Ohio being
cast for the great Tariff Reform leader.
SO that from Illinois, Indiana and Ohio
alone there seems assured for Cleveland
over seventy votes, which yesterday APP
peared to be wavering.
Kentucky, the other doubtful State,
still looms up as an uncertain factor in
every estimate. The power of Henry
WatterSoOn seems to hauing an intlu-
ence on that delegation, and while
many of its members are very friendly
to Cleveland, the constant friends Of

WHEELING W. VA, MONDAY MORNING, JUNE 90 1892

scattering support for Boies from the
delegates along the Iowa border
The Connecticut delegation arrived
late last night, enthusiastic to man
for Cleveland.
The Pennsylvania delegation came
in last night with the usual number OF
shouters who made their headquarters
resound with the name OF Cleveland.
Pennsylvania is pledged solidly Tor
Cleveland and Mr.. Harrity says that II
will give sixty-four votes TO the ex-
President on the first ballot. In spite
of this declaration Of the ex-postmaster
OF Philadelphia there is minority
active, aggressive and we'll led, disposed
to take stand against giving the dele
CATION unanimously to Cleveland and
the delegation had not been In
the hotel fifteen minutes before talk
of the dissension in the delega-
tion began TO crop out. The minority
in the delegation who are opposed to
Harrity, are led by Jim Guffey, OF
Pittsburg, ex-senator Wallace and
Congressman Mutchler. They will first
attempt to break the rule with the
delegation. II that does not turn out
successfully, and it probably will not,
they will bring the matter before the
convention, as the Tammany delega tes
did in 1884, and fight to have it broken
there. The second choice OF the dele
CATION is Governor Pattison, but there
is a strong anti-Pattison feeling in the
delegation arising from the Governors
use of State patronage. Harrity will
undoubtedly be reelected State COM
mitteeman.
The delegation from the State OF Geor-
gia, the State which exerts so much In,
fuence in the councils of the South
arrived late last night and opened up
headquarters at the Palmer House.
The Cleveland men of this delegation
claim that they will have from Is to II
votes for the ex-President on the first
ballot, and that the remainder will
probably be cast for Senator Hill, with
possibly two exc options, which may 60
to German.

The Latest Eatimates.

CHICAGO, June 19.-Late tonight there
is a difference of 1866 between the estimates
of Mr.. Cleveland's strength as made by Mr..
Hill's managers and as made by the friends
Of Mr. Cleveland.
Mr. Cleveland's opponents give him 42S
aud they classify the balance as against
Cleveland. They do not give
figures as TO their strength Of
Mr.. Hill. AT the Grand Pacific
where the ant-Hill managers are, their Of
fetal list is revised late tonight and
stands as follows; Cleveland, $50; doubt
ful 3l2
The sum of these two totsls-90l-ex-
ceeds the number of delegates 10 sit in the
convention, and their excess is not clearly
explained by those who prepared the table.
A meeting of Cleveland's leaders is being
held at Secretary Whitney's rooms at the
Richeheu tonight, for the purpose of re
viewing the days work and planning for the
morrow Reports were received from all
States, and according to these re-
ports Mr. Cleveland will have $40
votes on the first ballot. This esti-
mate includes his share Of the Ohio
delegation aud few others, not included
In Saturday nights figures. Montana's
vote is not included, but it is understood it
will come to Cleveland on the second bal
lot, its first being cast for German.

CLEVELAND'S STAR

In the Ascendancy at the Democratic
ConsteIlation at the Garden City-aill,
German, Boies and Gray Obscured.
CHICAGO, June 19.-The star of Gro
yer Cleveland is in the ascendancy to-
night. Every shifting Of the political
constellation in the past twentyfour
hours has only tended to make it shine
forth with greater lustre, until this
evening the rays quite obscure
the lesser lights Of Hill, B1ieS,
German and Gray. The Sabbath
day has been observed by the apostles
OF tariff reform rather in miniStration
to the temporal welfare of their forces
than 10 their Christian veal.
The opponentSo Of the ex-President are
tonight preparing for one final effort
10 muster from al the opposition pha
lanx of delegates to stand out and pre-
vent Cleveland receiving the requisite
twO-thir1s votes on the first bal
lot They are somehow i'm
bued with the conviction-Gnd this
convention is rather general-that if
Cleveland fails to received the nomi-
nation in the enthusiasm of the opeu-
ing ballot, he will on the succeeding
ballots show losses instead of gains,
and that the disintegration of his forces
will be only a question Of time. But
the day has shown that Cleveland forces
are swelling rather than diminishing,
and tonight the rank and file
os the Cleveland forces are
rejecting with diSdain the counsel of
those conservative leaders who warn
them against possible defeat in nomi-
mating Cleveland in the face Of Tam
many, and reply by avowing that the
ex-PreSident is the candidate OF the na-
tiOn and that his destiny is above the
sway of any particular State or faction.
Violent alterations are frequent occur
renceS Of the Hobbies of the leading hotels
aud all the enthusiasm OF the hour is
with Grover Cleveland. The Tammany
men who have so constantly warned the
Democrats that the nomination Of
Cleveland means the loss OF the elect
oral vote of New York in November, are
waived majesticallg away by the Cleve-
land enthusiasts, who declare that the
great exponent OF Tariff Reform can be
elected II he must v II but the electoral
vote of the Empird ite Add so ia

rive at tacit understanding as to the
candidate best available TO keep Cleve-
land out Of the nomination. The name
oftenest heard in the confidential talks
wherever a group of pro-silver western
ers were gathered was that Of German,
of Maryland. Hill's letter was Rradu-
ally discussed, and the popularity OF the
New York Senator with the silver men
was vlsiby increased, but there seemed
no growth OF confidence that he could
win out, even though Cleveland were
successfully shelved.
"The trouble with Gorman," said M.
P. Patterson, Of Denver, with evident
regret in his tones, while answering
questions about the Maryland Senator,
'is that his own State delegation has
been steadily working and talking for
Cleveland. We have been able 10 OBJ
tain no assurance that German Is can
didate. The Western men have not, how
ever, got beyond prelimlnaries, and a gen.
eral movement on their part toward any
one candidate is yet premature. What
we are first working for, and what we
propose TO fight for If necessary in the
convention is a declaration pledging the
party to restore the coinage
10 where IL was in 1873. With Q, plat
form OF that kind, almost any candidate
accepting it and making the run could
scarcely help being satisfactory TO u.s.
