The Carlisle-Luttrell Crimes.

DENIsON, Ten, May 12.-Charles
Luttrell and John Carlisle are I'M
der sentence to hang today for the
most atrocious crimes known in
the history of Texas. Their last
crime was the murder of W. Il.
Sharman, of DenisOn, who had
been witness of one of their pre-
ViOuS murders. Both men at
tempted suicide in prison, and
We're narrowly saved from self
destruction. Luttrell's friends have
for weeks been trying to secure a
pardon, and the only incentive the
Governor had in the matter was
the confession made by the MUIR
derer Charles Luttrell states that
since 1873, James Brown, John
Carlisle and friends had killed 24S
men in order to destroy testimony
against them in a murder case.
James Brown, in rs, became in
VolVed in a quarrel with
stable hand and he killed
him. John Carlisle was induced
to kill another man named Sparks.
Tom Sharman, their last victim,
was an eye witness. Brown and
Carlisle, being wealthy, started in
to kill every evidence against them,
and Luttrell's confession is but a
glimmer of the awful reality of
these unparalleled series of crimes,
that cost 24S men their lives
Luttrell would not give the
names of the victims, and said he
did not know all, but they would
be forthcoming in every instance
of the killing by this gang. Every
eye witness was Swallowed and
killed sooner or later, and all who
could give circumstantial evidence
were killed by hired murderers.

AN oLD".TIMER GONE.
Death of Major James P. Hickman,
Sr.. This Morning.

Just as the day was dawning, the
spirit of one of the most prominent
old people winged its flight beyond
the clouds and passed away. He
who is no more was Major James
p. Hickman, ST., we'll known, es-
pecially to the older Inhabitants.
The deceased was born in 1921, in
Bourbon county, Kentucky, but his
parents, during his infancy, moved
to Missouri, where, when he became
of age, he embarked in the mer-
chandiZing business. He, early in
the tifties, came to Texas and took
several trading trips to Chihua-
hua, Mexico, and in 1886 settled
there and embarked extensively in
merchandising, and was highly
successful, a lucrative trade crown
ing his efforts.
In 1872 he came to San Antonio
and settled, investing the bulk of
his means in San Antonio realty,
which in that period could be pur-
chased for about ten per cent of
what it is now worth. Among his
possessions was the property on
South Flores street near the Aran-
sas Pass depot, formerly owned by
DR.. II. l.. Groves, and the southwest
corner of Main and south corner of
Military plaza, in which in the
latter part of the seventies he erect
ed the first fOur-stOry building in
San Antonio, then called Hord's
hotel and now known as the South
ern hotel. He was possessed of
considerable means, at least $780,
600. He died at the corner of Lex
ingtOn avenue and Augusta Steeet
this morning of paralysis, sur
rounded by his Borrowing children,
his wife having preceded him in
death about three years ago. He
leaves seven sons and three daugh-
tiers, all we'll known and prominent
in San Antonio society. The
funeral will take place on Sunday
but the hour and details have not
yet been arraigned.

Dynamited the Express Car.

CAIRO, Ill, May 12.-At 10 o'clock
last night the north bound passen-
ger train on the Nashville d Ohio
Railway stopped at Laketon, KY,
to take water. Two masked mer
approached the engineer and cover
ing him and the fireman with guns
compelling them to get off the en-
CINE and go with them to the eX-
press car, where they demanded
that the express messengers, Ray
end Poatser his assistant, should
open the door. This the messenger
refused to do and began hiding
the contents of the safe and the
valuables. The messengers were in
formed that if they did not open
up the car would be blown open
with dynamite. They refused a
second time, when a charge of dy-
Mantle went off blowing a hole in
the side of the car; one of the TO b.
bers put in his gun and demand
ed that the door be opened. Under
promise of not being hurt the
messengers opened the door, and
the robbers secured everything that
was left in the safe and then left
the car and escaped in the timber
The amount stolen is not over a
thousand dollars. None of the pas
sengers were mOlested.
