THEY ALL GO OVER.
Another of the Fourth Street
Gang
SENT 10 TIE PENITENTIARY
He Was Taken Up for Counterfeit
ing-He Gets Two Years.


Another of the old "Fourt street gang"
was given a term in the penitentiary this
morning. He is William Workman and
he was arrested in Leavenworth for
counterfeiting.
When the gang dourished three years
ago Workman was one of the active
members. He combed his hair down low
on his forehead, traded horses and did
other things with which the public is
now more or less familiar. Then the
officers began to cast out their nets and
one by one the gang was gathered in.
Workman did not like the atmosphere
and he emigrated. He turned his face
east and landed at Leavenworth. He
made trips into Missouri on trading ex-
petitions and was prosperous He was
a familiar figure around the Leavenworth
hay market and of course soon made the
acquaintance of the Leavenworth police.
Soon after he moved to Leavenworlh
he met a girl by the name of Nellie
Mosier. If he had not met Nellie he
might not now be in the tolls of the law.
He gave Nellie counterfeit
half dollar with instructions
to go to a saloon for some beer. She
passed the spurious coin and got the beer
but threw William under suspicion and

Leavenworth police.
But the girl did not desert him. She
was a frequent visitor at the jail and
came to Topeka to testify for Work
man. Her reputation was little shady
and the jury did not believe her. She
cried little when the verdict was an
nounced aud followed Workman to the
Ill to say good bye before he is taken
to the penitentiary.
Workman scorned the services Of a
lawyer and conducted his own defense.
He showed considerable shrewduess, but
| as he said after his conviction: sit was
no use, see. Dat jury was dead against
| me and notink would save me, see."
Workman tried to lay the blame of the
crime on Edward Davidson, whose wife
and four small children, appeared in the
court room. When he saw the woman
and children he said that he knew ''de
| jig was up" He begged to be allowed
TO turn states evidence.
| "When dat old guy came in dere wild
all dem kids" said Workman, 81 knowed
it want no use. Dey let him go because
of his family. Wot was de use in me
| havin' lawyer It wouldn't done ne
good at all. I guess I'll have to make
the best of it,
The jury acquitted Davidson in YER
dict returned last night and found Work
man guilty. The counterfeiter's outfit
was found at Davidson's house.
Judge Foster gave Workman two
years in the penitentiary. Then he will
| get out and kill two or three people and
get sent up for life or lyncned. Member:
of the "Fourt' street gang" never re,

a vicious attack by an English
sparrow upon a small child, result
ing in the death Of the latter, is a
singular occurrence which recent
ly happened at Stemmcr's Run, in
Maryland, says an exchange. At
that place two sons of Charles
Moore caught q small sparrow
when out in tho woods ono day,
and they brought it home so that
Ida, their oighteen months old sis
ter, could play with it. The little
child was delighted with the pres
ent. When alone with it ono day
she let the sparrow out of its cage.
Tho bird flew savagely at the child
and fiercely seized her lower lip.
The screams of the baby brought
her mother to the rescue, and she
ondeavorod to get the sparrow
away. Before this could be done
the bird had to be killed and its
beak priod opon with q pair Of pin
GERS. Ida at once began to show
SYMPTOMS of blood poisoning. She
was attended by DR.. w. Veres
Mace, of Stemmer's Run, but in
spite OF his efforts she died.
