The Wilmington daily Republican. (Wilmington, Del.) 1890-1902, 1894-06-27

JOHN DAY, Governor.
Bowen walked up and down the room
with knitted brow. He was in no doubt
as to what he would do, but he wanted
to think over it. Tho telegraph instru-
ment called to him, and he turned to it,
giving the answering click. The mes
sage was to himself from the operator
at the capital, and it told him he was
to forward the sheriff's telegram with
out delay and report to the office at the
capital-a mans life depended on it,
the message concluded. Bowen answer.
ed that the telegram to the sheriff would
be Immediately sent.
Taking another telegraph blank, he
wrote:
Sheriff of Brenting County, Brentingville:
Proceed with execution Of Prior. No re-
pricve will be sent. Reply If you understand
this message. JOHN DAY, Governor.
1t is & pity it cannot be written that
Bowen felt some conjunction at what
he was doing. We like to think that
when man deliberately commits
crime he should hesitate and pay enough
Difference to the proprieties as to feel at
least temporary regret, even if he goes
on with his crime afterward. BOwen's
thoughts We're upon the dead girl, not
on the living man. He reused the doz-
ing telegraph messenger
"Hcre," he said, take this to the
Jail and find the sheriff. If he is not
there, go to his residence. If he is
asleep, wake him up, Tell him this
wants an answer. Give him a blank,
and when he has filled it up bring it to
me. Give the message to no one else,
mind "
The hoy said eyes, sir" and departed
into tho night He returned SO quickly
that Bowen knew without asking that
he had found the slecpless sheriff at the
Jail. The message to the governor, writ
ten in trembling hand by the sheriff,
was:
place. If you should change your mind, for
Gods sake telegraph soon possible. |
shall delay txrcution until last moment al
lowed by law.
Bowen did not send that message, but
another. He laughed aud then checked
himself i'll alarm, for his laugh sounded
strange. II wonder if am quite sane, +"
he said to himself. Il doubt it, "
