HOLMES SENTENCE ENDED
His SufYerings Relieved by Power
Higher than the state

At II 10 o'clock yesterday morning Willie
Holmes, the coiored bow who was SEN
fenced 70 death for killing william Rus
sell, and whose sentence was committed
by Gov. McGraw to life Imprisonment.
died in the hospital ward at the county
jail. While the world outside the prison
went merrfly on, and the people who had
business at the courthouse were passing
through the halls intent on business. the
scene in the death room was far different.
In the early morning il was apparent
that Holmes could not live the day out.
His eyes were almost set. and he could
hardly speak a word. Servius Rutten, the
big woodsman from Kitsap county who
has been declared guilty of murder by
jury. was necessarily at the little negro's
side. and T. T. Schumacher, the barber
who was convicted of arson, was also in
attendance.
Holmes knew that he had 10 die. He felt
that the cold hand OF death was about TO
close upon him, but ne showed no fear.
He asked for Jailer Rurkman, and told
him in low whisper that he knew he was
dying. and wanted him to promise TO send
a telegram 10 his mother at Mcdonald,
Washington county. Pa, telling her what
had happened. A short time later Melvin
q. Winstock, who had charge OF Holmes
case when IL was In court, was admitted
10 the cell Holmes rolled his eyes slight
~ when spoken to- but failed to recognize
grew worse, and only once did he rally
the least. Then he opened his lips and
made an apparent effort to speak TO Schu-
macher. 1t was no use, for his dry.
parehed lips gave forth no sounds. He fell
back. his eyes rolled In his head and il
was apparent his strength was almost
gone.
Servius Rutten commenced to break
down and insisted on Schumacher's read
Ing from the Bible. II was Bible that
Holmes had given TO the big fellow. but
Rutten wanted IL TO be given back to
Holmes and placed in the grave with him.
Schumacher then commenced to head the
Sermon on the Mount" Rutten sat as
still as death. while Holmes slowly passed
away
The transition was so peaceful that Rut-
ten hac no idea that the awful moment
had come until Schumacher told him as
gently as possible that his little colored
friend had gone. The big fellow became
like child, and cried until big tears rolled
down his cheeks. Faithful as ever. he re-
manned at his post of duty until the body
was removed to Bonney &c Stewards un-
dertaking room.
The expense Of taking the body to Nc
Donald. Pa, would be so much that the
interment will take place In this city. No
arrangements for the funeral had been
made last evening.

WANTS CREDIT FOR TIME IN JAIL.


A peculiar question arose yesterday in
relation to time allowance for criminals
and the proper method Of placing the
facts In an authentic manner before the
warden OF the penitentiary. IL was raised
BY letter sent to Judge Humes by Geo.
Johnson, who Is in the renitentiary for
five years on the charge of burglary.
George Johnson was convicted before
Judge Humes October z. 1891. and subse-
ouent proceedings delayed the sentence
until December q. 1891 On appeal being
taken. the supreme court sustained the
lower court and Johnson was sent to the
rsnltentiary at Walla walla September
g. 1852
In his letter he stated that. II Judge
Humes would allow him credit for the
eight months and ten days he was under
sentence and pending an appeal. II would
~ OF material interest TO him. and he
would like an order setting forth the facts
that the court had credited him with the
time allowance.
Judge Humes turned the letter over TO
County Clerk Gordon yesterday after.
noon. with the request TO see what he
could do about placing the matter In a
legal way before the warden Of the penf-
tertiary. Judge Humea believes he has
no power to issue any such order rs john
