It's a dirty bird that befouls its
own nest.-The San Antonio Ex-
press is doing the dirty bird act in
attempting to imjure the credit OF
the city by calling into question
the validity OF its bonded indebt-
edness.
The Express approaches this act
Of perfidy with the stealthy step of
an assassin. In Sundays issue
appears a &C. g." communication
promising to give legal opin-
ion adverse to the power OF
the city to issue bonds for any
public purpose except for street
improvements. In Mondays issue
the editor discovers &C. B." and
quotes &C. B." 10 sustain the asser-
ton that its too bad that Mayor
Paschal can't issue any bonds.
The editor, not &C. B." says:
ave all know that the $4,000
bonds voted to make preliminary
survey and artesian we'll expert
mentS for sewers and water
works, and the $4,000 voted to
settle with the San Antonio Ma.
tional bank could not secure regis
tratiOn at Austin" The writer is
either badly posted or like sc. B."
is as poor at facts as &C. b." is at
law.
The registration OF the $4,000
bonds hinged upon the technical
ity of the posting Of the election
proclamatiOn-it is not settled yet.
The $250,O00 voted to pay the bank,
was to be given in the shape Of
notes, and it being cOntended by
the legal representative of the bank
that this must be considered as a
part of the bonded debt, Mayor
Paschal refused to coincide, as the
people did not vote to increase
their bonded debt for the purpose
of settling up with the bank.
The Express may as well kept
up it's open opposition to the sewer
proposition and called on the vot-
ers to vote against it; the snide
legal opinions published in its col.
umns will not be needed by the
people as Of any weight.

ground a long time. The green flies
had put in their horrible work.
The girl was not bad looking, but
had rather bold countenance She
had dark hair, which was short and
rather inclined to curl. She had blue
eyes, pretty white teeth and a rather
sharp n use.
Her dress waist was profusely stain
ed with blood. The bullet hole was
plainly evident in her left breast, iui-
mediately below the arm Judging
from the hole in the right breast, ex-
actly corresponding with that in her
left, the bullet must have gone entire
~ through the body. This, in fact,
was the opinion Of DR.. Dalton, who
examined the body. The powder had
slightly burned the clothes where the
pistol had been presented at the VIC
mans side.
The evidence brought out at the
corOner's inquest went to show that
DeGraff and Ellen Smith were upon
intimate terms; that the woman was
the mother OF an Legitimate child of
which DeGraff was the father: that
the couple had recently had several
quarrels in one of which DeGraf
threatened to shoot the woman; in
the Woman'S bosom was found a note
from DeGraff making an appointment
to meet her near the place where the
body was found.
The evidence so cOncl1Siyely point
ed to DeGraff as the murderer that
searching parties were organized, and
for Seyera! days efforts were made to
effect his arrest, but he managed to
evade the officers and finally made his
escape from the community.

THE OLD FOLKS OPPOSED.
A Romantic Marriage in Salem
Spau&h~IIiaebacE,

Salem had marriage about o'clock
Saturday afternoon which was tinged
with romance. The contracting
parties were Levi Spaugh and Miss
Mamie Lineback. The old folks were
opposed to the match presumably On
account of their daughters age, she
being only Is years.
Mr.. Spaugh slipped up to the Reg
listers office. procured the necessary
papers, and hurried to the home of
his brothers, Enoch Spaugh, where he
found his "intended" awaiting the
arrival of her husband Ito be- and the
divine who was to tie the nuptial
knot.
Time was precious but the event
was sOiemized without any molesta-
ton on the part Of the old folks. The
old man went to the Registers Office
to forbid the issuing of the license
but he was too late. Mr.. Spaugh had
the papers and was then en- route to
have the marriage performed in his
everyday clothes-just as he left his
place of business-Kester's Iron
Works. His face was also rather
''smutty," but this fact did not change
the determination of the girl who had
promised to take him just as he was. ;"
The ceremony was performed by Rev.
Mr.. Gregory.

them to SO live as to meet him in
heaven. He called each one by name
and told them that he had prayed for
them and asked them to remember
him in their prayers. When Peter
came to the cell where George Brown
was confned he almost broke down
entirely. Brown is the young man
that was brought back with Peters
brother charged with stealing money
from a farmer. DeGraff's charge to
Brown was a most touching one.
Tears trickled down the cheeks of the
hardest criminals as they shook hands
with him for the last time.
STARTING FOR THE aALLows.
1t was HIS o'clock when Peter De-
Graft, accompanied by Sheriff Nc
Author, Jailor Ziglar, the Mayor of
Winston and a SENTINEL reporter
stepped out of the Jail and thence to
the street, where close carriage was
waiting to bare him to the gallows.
One minute later the carriage, follow
ed by surging mass of people, was NOV
ing toward the scene CT the execution.

BIS ARRESE.
Captured by the Sheriff and Two Police
men at Old Man Russelrs.

DeGraff was arrested at midnight
June %, 1893 by Sheriff Macarthur and
Policeman Adams at the residence of
Gideon Russell, near Pitts bar-room,
West of Winston.
The first information as to Peters
whereabouts came to Sheriff Near
thur that afternoon from telegram
sent him by d friend, stating that
DeGratf got off the train at Rural
Hall about two o'clock. In company
with Officers Adams and Cofer the
sheriff went to Charles Russell's first.
Mr.. Russell said that he had a talk
with DeGralf about six o'clock. Peter
was with John Russell and two went
to old man DeGraff's to see Peters
parents.
The officers proceeded, to the house
of old man Russell. Adams peeped
through window and saw DeGraf
lying on the floor. The latter jumped
up and ran into another room and
secreted himself in bed, by covering
himself up with feather tick"
AS soou as the door was opened the
officers walked into the house and
proceeded to make search for De-
Graft. Adams took the lamp from
old man Russell and started for the
adjoining room. AS he passed through
the door Of the two rooms one of the
Russell boys dashed by him, thereby
blowing the lamp out. Pointing his
pistol toward the bed, Adams, with
the other hand, gave the sheriff the
lamp requesting him to light it,
A fter the sheriff made light he
and Adams walked up to the bed.
The latter pulled down the feather
bed, ut the same time saying: "Old
man, get up, we've got you" DeGraff,
who bad both arms folded over his
face, replied: "All right, Mr.. Adams,
I'll give up. want you to treat me
like gentleman, though"
I'VE will not hurt hair on your
head if you act right" replied Adams.
Without further trouble arrange
ments were made for the journey to
town. DeGraff got up on the horse
and rode all the way to the jail be-
hind Adams.
The following week the prisoner was
given preliminary hearing before ES-
quire Pegram. The evidence of a few
witnesses 70" the State was sufficient
to cause the magistrate to bind De
Graf over to the Superior Court The
prisoner went upon the the stand and
made statements which were detri-
mental to him.

TALKED TO A SENTINEL MAN.
a SENTINEL reporter called at the
jail this morning to tell DeGraH good
bye. He had on his new black suit
and exhibited no fears or excitement.
He proceeded TO give the reporter ad-
vice on how he should live in order to
be prepared for death. His entire
conversation was on this line. includ-
ing d statement that he was ready
and willing to die. He said that 'ahe
only true pleasure in this world was
in serving God"
Mr. ZigIar says that Peter ate very
little breakfast For the past three
days he has declined to talk to anyone
as to whether he was guilty or not.
YOUNG MEN PRAY FOR HIM.
Four or five young men called on
Peter last night at s o'clock. Ihey
sang and prayed with him. They
urged him to confess his guilt and
make clean breast of it before he
died. Peter replied that he had said
all he could as to his guilt. death, F"
continued lie, ''haS no more horror for
me. | do not feel bad because of the
near approach of death. | am going
straight to my God"
Peter offered fervent prayer for all
the prisoners, the jailer, and the peo-
pie generally before he retired.
GOODBYE TO PERSONALITIES.
The large cell door was swung
open at 1I:1C O'Clock and the con-
demned criminal stepped out with a
bible in his hand Peter was perfect
ly cool and walked down the prison
hall shaking hands with each inmate
both white and colored. lie urged

DeGEAFFS CRIME.
Ellen Smith Found Murdered Near a
Spring.

Ellen Smith was murdered between
the hours of three o'clock p, m. on July
20 1892 and eight the following morn
ing, in a lonely piece of woods back of
the Zinzendorf Hotel site.
The sheriff (Teague) and coroner
(Fogle) were at once notified of the
murder. A SENTINEL reporter was
one of the first to arrive at the scene
of the tragedy.
The woman was lying fat on her
back, with her white apron spread
over her head. 1t had been placed
there by some of the bystande-s to
keep off the flies from her face. Her
hands were lying by her side, her fin
gers slightly clutched her dress.
On removing the apron, the features
of a girl about nineteen years old were
discovered. The face was much swol-
len and disfigured; mot apparently from
any struggle, but frem lying on the
