Generals opinion, he fair but from

little surprise was occassioned in this
town on Saturday evening by the ru-
NOR that John X. Lodge aud John

Upon the investigation the rumor
was proved true. The papers came

Immediately into the hands of the

night had gone, so Lodge telegraphed
to his friends near Lewis, who drove
here post haste. After their arrival

unruliness to the other inmates OF the
Jail. Lodge is tall and heavily,
built man of nearly fifty years of age
He is of dark beard. He has los,
his ruddy color and some flesh during
his Imprisonment.
The other pardoned man, John IL
Andrews, is an intelligen, mulatto. 81
years old. Andrews is guam dam
preacher, and one summer Sunday
night seventeen years ago, he killed
his wife. He committed the crime
right after he had held services in the
little old church on the hill. Imme
diately after the killing Andrews dis
appeared. The country for mile:
was searched, but no trace of him
could he found.
At last man by the name OF Hen
ry James dreamed that the murderer
was secreted in the loft of the church.
He was so impressed by the dream
that in turn he impressed others by
his earnestness. and during the follow.
ing day. nearly every Georgetowner
in Il body, went out to the church to
see the dream realized. Two of the
most venture.ome climbed up into the
loft. and there they actually found
Andrews. who gave himself mp with
out a struggle. He aiterward con-
fessed that he heard the funeral of his
wife. That he joined in the singing
and echoed the prayers f.r the dead
woman. The man was Judged insane
and was sentenced for life.

Andrews was delighted to receive
his pardon. He has always seemed

months Then he was seen and rec.
