WAR AT DENVER.
The Removal of Two Police Commissions rs
by Gov. Waite Causes a Clash.

The Removal OF Two Police Commissioners
by Gov. Waite Causes a Clash.
DENVER, Col, March 16.-The ma
tional guard of Colorado is under arms,
the federal troops from Fort Logan
have been called out, and although
martial law has not been officially pro-
claimed. there is no other recognized
authority in Denver but the strong arm
of the military. This critical situation
has been brought about by the deter
mination of Gov. Waite to GUST two
members of the fire and police board,
jackson Orr and ID. j. Martin, whom
he removed for protecting gambling
houses, and placed in Office their sue
cessors, S. ID. Barnes and Dennis Null
Inns.
Messrs. Orr and Martin, having OBJ
tanned from the district court an in
junction restraining Gov. Waite from
forcibly removing them, were deter
mined to resist to the utmost. They
accordingly kept the entire police force
at the city hall all day under orders to
resist the soldiers if attacked In addi-
ton several hundred of the citizens
were sworn in as deputies by Sheriff
Burchinell, and placed in the city hall
as reinforcement of the police depart
ment Each deputy was armed with
two six-shooters, and instructed to use
them in case of necessity. The police
were armed with shot-guns in addition
to their clubs and revolvers.
The First regiment and the Chaffee
light artillery arrived at the city hall
at o'clock and Gen. Brooks, command
ing officer, delivered to Police Lieut.
Clay, in command outside of the city
hall, message to the effect that if the
removed police commissioners did not
vacate within half an hour the Office
would be taken by force. Orr and
Martin refused to surrender. Before
the half hour expired, prominent citi-
Gems entered into negotiations with
both parties to the controversy with a
view to reaching a settlement by arbi-
tration, and while the negotiations
were in progress truce was declared.
The street about the city hall were
packed with an angry mob numbering
many thousands. :.
Had one of my officers given an or
der to fire." said Gen. Brooks last
night, ''he would have been riddled
with bullets from the crowd and then
would have had to sweep bot5 sides
of the street with my Calling cannon.
However, the mob made no such act,
and there was no bloodshed"
On the governors representation
that the state militia would probably
be inadequate to cope with the mob
that had full possession of the city,
Gen. McCook called out the United
States infantry from Fort Logan, thir-
teen miles from here, to act in coniunc
ton with the state and local authori-
ties in clearing the streets and pre-
serving the peace.

JUDICIAL TORTURE IN 1853.
Forms of Barbarism still Extant Last

Forms of Barbsrism still Extant Last
Century.
Two separate forms are pictured by
life-size scale drawings: one SORT was
legal in Austria and one in Bohemia.
1t is strong little wise, seven inches
long, of two fat iron bars connected
by screw bolts. The thumbs are to be
inserted to the first joint, and the inner
surfaces are armed with toothlike
points. While the questions are asked
one servant helps hold the wise and
turn the nuts with wrench and key,
while another clasps the victim tight
around the body to prevent contortions.
A third may or may not be employed to
Increase the pain by hammering on the
wise. The picture of this scene is very
effectively drawn. The conflict of
stubborn wills between the roaring vic
tim and the iron hearted bailiffs is fear
full to witness. The Judge is in no hur-
~; he gives the wrench an additional
turn now and then till the very bones
are crushed. and the clerk can tri-
umphantly write down the confession
of guilt.
One form of torture, which is now
seldom heard of, was the cord (fidicula).
Its exact size and use are fully pictured.
The arms of the accused are stretched
forward with the palms together a
strong rope, like sash-cord is looped up
on the wrist, then wound tightly
round both arms to the elbows.
cutting deep into the flesh and
tending to break the elbow joints
This was regarded more terrible than
the thumb stocks. This was the Bo-
henian method: but another form was
prescribed for Austria equally effective
and ingenious.
The famous rack was of great utility
in the discovery of the truth" 1t
was called equuleus, or little horse, by
the Austrian as well as the Roman
jurists. Four full-page eDgravings de-
pict the exact form, size. mechanical
cons truction, and practical use of this
machine. 1t is a wide ladder OF two
strong poles with many rounds, and is
fixed in slanting position from the
stone floor to the dungeoa wall The
culprit must climb to the upper part
and sit down: his wrists previously
bound behind his back, are tied to the
fifth round. His feet are bound with
a rope, which is drawn down by
windlass attached to the base of the
ladder. As he is pulled downward his
arms are twisted upward behind him.
When fully carried out the desired re-
suit was complete disiocation of the
shoulders, as the explanatory notes de-
clare with great exactness of detail
