leased from the Auburn. N. ", prison
by virtue OF a communication Of his life
sentence. He was convicted In Utica In

1892. to the chaplain, that he alone CON-
mitted the crime and that Wayman had
no the slightest knowledge Of 1t. Way

A French governess In a we'll known
family had a rather peculiar experience
last year I'm New York city. A diamond
ring belonging to a daughter Of the
house disappeared. A search was made
and the gem was found In the top
drawer of n bureau In the g0verness
room. She was committed to the Tombs
and subsequently convicted. a few
weeks later the mother of the girl who
owned the ring returned from the coun-
try and proved the governess' inno-
cence. h went into court n con
fessed that she had been surreptitiously
prowling through the governess' bll-
reau drawers, and had dropped the ring
there without knowing 1t. OF course the
governess was released by the angry
judge" but the woman had been locked
up with criminals for a few weeks, and
was subjected to the insult of being pho
tographed by a person who said he
wanted pictures for q lecture on Crime
and Its Penalty"
A man named Bill Anderson swore In
Ottumwa. Iowa, in 1883, that he and
Christian McAllister near Blakesburg,
Pleasant Anderson had murdered
Iowa. In 1881. Pleasant Anderson de-
MED the statement vigorously. but he
was arrested md lodged in Jail to
await trial. In the meantime the farm
crs ~thereabout thought McAllister's
murder should be more promptly
avenged. SO they held a midnight trial
of Pleasant Anderson in a neighboring
schoolhouse. They all wore masks. An
derson. of course. was found guilty and
was hanged from a tree. About that
time Daniel Miller, the superintendent.
of the Sunday school and a prominent
worker In the church, was convicted OF
forgery. Before he went to prison he
informed the sheriff that he would like
to confess something. For some reason
or another the sheriff would not permit
anyone to see him. The grand jury met

At the end of the car track on
Alamo Heights and on all elevated

peculiarly well polished stones Of
the quartz order, Jasper, Carnelians,
Chalcedony, Agates ETC., etc. They
are generally fiat and vary in size
like the opals one sees in the show
windows in the city. In fact they
resemble them in great many re-
spects. My attention was first
called to them by a gentleman
from Denver. They are not like
sea pebbles, merely flat, but they
are polished as though they came
fresh from the hand of the lapi-
Diary. l picked up a handful
in less than half an hour, and
many Of them would be beauties

of similar finds in the United

came to be so perfectly polished is
not quite clear to me. 1t is hardly
possible that the mere action OF
rainwater should have brought
this about, unless there is some
acid in the soil to assist it in it's
