lett Burbank stranger entered the Pullman
car and approached Mr.. Rudolph, who at the
Time was alone, and calling him by name intro

DIR. James Morton OF Pittsburg. who is in
the city, tells Of the strange case of a man in
that city who is under the death sentence for
murder aud whose physical condition is such
that the execution of the sentence will be a
somewhat difficult matter, aud is causing the
authorities no end OF trouble. After the man
had committed the murder he attempted to
take his own life. and in doing so cut terrible
cash in his neck. A tube was inserted therein
by The physicians, and since that time the man
has filled his lungs through that medium. The
location OF the tube is below the point where
the rope will encircle his neck, and, cOnse-
Guently, If the drop should fail to cause diso-
Gallon, the man will simply remain suspended
IN the air in no danger of death from straugula-
ton. The doctor says the case is attracting
much attention, and II the crime for which the
man is to be hanged had not been OF parlicu-
larry atrociOus character there is no doubt but
that his sentence would at least be committed
TO life imprisonment.

keep up the running expenses, and every effort
Will be made TO make the enterprise as near
self-sustaning as possible.
