OLD CRESCENT CITY PRISON.
An Historic Building in New Orleans
Now in Process of Demolition.

The old parish prison of New Orleans,
of notorious memory is being RACED to
the ground, says the New York Evening
Post. SO far the dismantling has given
up no secrets although the impression
had prevailed that when the light of day
was let in on the recesses of the Jail there
would be a hint of hitherto suppressed
Incidents in the criminal history of the
city. 1t is true that under the flooring
of cell in the woman's department
some bones, which are believed to be hui
man, were found, and that in the same
part of the prison the work of making
a secret passage had been begun and aban-
dOned. but no explanatory information is
at hand. A relic of slavery days discover
ed was the following written order in
French: Mayors Office, New Orleans,
July %, 1922. To the Jailer of the Parish
Prison: Deliver to NJ. Norville Durbrad

AMERICAN SECURITIES IN LON

can railroad bonds during the past week
have made no appreciate call upon the
bullion market here. The races at EPSON
Downs, the cricket matches of the week,
the Jewish holidays and the approach
of Whitsuntide have caused a break in
the speculative markets. Operators rush
ed to realize profits resulting in a sharp
reaction in the Kafiir markets. The worst
appears to be over and the closing prices
OF Friday were above the worst and in

n1curs HER WRONGS.

Washington, June "A Times special
from Fairfax Court House, Va, reports
the murder there today of John r. Har-
mon, aged 80, by his wife, Mary Harmon,
20 Years Younger. The murdered man is
described as being a worthless fellow
who has been living apart from his wife
for some time. Today he called at the
house and talked through window, ask
ing her to live with him again, but she
refused. He then attempted to get into
the house through the window, when she
picked up a gun and fired. Mrs. Harmon
asserts that she did not know the gun
was loaded, and took it only for the pur-
pose of frightening her husband off. She
surrendered herself and was locked up.
The woman has been supporting her eight
children since her separation from her

of the city and by federal commanders
during the war. Exposure to the eie-
ments had rendered these papers almost
undecipherabe. Perhaps to citizens of
New Orleans a most interesting belonging
of the prison is the bell which the gener-
atoms hung in one of the two towers ris-
ing from the facade of the building 1t
was for many years used as fire bell
and during the war its clangOr summoned
the slaves in various quarters of the city
when their services were needed by the
authorities. Another use of the bell was
to warn citizens abroad that it was 8
O'Clock and time to be in their homes.
The stones in the court yard for negro
prisoners are worn very thin and covered
with rude figures which were cut into
them. Some of the stones" says local
chronicler, "are worn through in certain
places by the inmates in the process of
manufacturing finger rings of metal or
bone or from the whetting of thin pieces
