HE HAS REPENTED,
Ihomas CrumptOn. Condemned to
Death. Believes His Soul Is Safe.


There was an affecting scene in the Jail
sunday afternoon when the prison workers
OF the Central Union Mission were holding
their religious services. There were thirty
eight workers in the party, including a
choir of twenty female voices. Mr. Wood
Of the Northeast branch was in charge
of the meeting. and he was ably assisted
by the choir and several others Interested
in the work. among them a colored woman
who was converted while serving a SEN
tence In the prison. She spoke of what
had been done for her and sang several
beautiful hymns, which seemed to have
the effect of drawing the prisoners nearer
the front of the cage.
Throw Out the Life Line was sung by
the little congregation, and when the la st
strains of the little organ had died away
voice from the cage attracted all eyes
in that direction. The speaker was Thomas
Crumpton, the colOred man who is under
sentence of death for the murder Of David
Shanklin on the 11th of last June.
Il have repented," he said to his hearers.
Il now have only twenty-Seven days to
live, and 1 believe 1 am saved; that my
sins have been forgiven. and hope to be
rewarded in the next world"
A number of other convicts spoke Of what
they had experienced during their incarcer-
alton. and it was stated that five men who
had professed conversion in jail were made
members of church two Sundays ago.
Crumpton realizes the seriousness Of his
position, although his friends hope that
the President will commute his sentence.
AS heretofore published in The Star. Con-
gresham Rayner of Baltimore has interest
of the publication in The Star Of an ac-
count of the pathetic appeal Of the con-
demned man for his wife and family.
The President will have all the papers
in the case before him in a few days, and
then the fate of the condemned man will
be determined.

but the very finest chess was shown in the
sixth game of the match. When Steinitz
seemed to have a hopeless case before him,
when none of the experts present saw an
escape, when all his pieces seemed to be
out of place, he detected the one great
scheme to avert defeat, first, by pushing
lis QRP, and next by sacrificing the ex-
change After the champion had accom-

in history one of the most remarkable,
