A PRISONERS LADDER.
Used for Climbing Out and Back
When He Visited His Swssthsarf

l
Warden Patten, Of the indiana
prison at Jeffersonville, has now OF
exhibition one OF the most remark
able contrivances Of a, prisoner thai
ever came into bis collection, say:
the Vincennes Sun. 1t is a ladder
made of thousands of small pieces o.
twine, threads, cords and rope such
as q convict would secretly collect
through years OF effort. With the
rope Thomas Shepherd used to climb
q thirty-foot wall and get out of the
penitentiary yard night after night
to visit an old sweetheart. He never
attempted to escape, and when his
ladder was found one night he re-
turned before his absence had been
discovered, rang the bell at the front
gate and surrendered himself. On
his arm he carried o rubber coat
which had been used TO conceal his
striped shirt. He wore moccasins
over his shoes.
Shepherd told straightforward
story, so far as II went, He had
made the ladder, he said, in order
that ne might visit o woman outside
the prison. BE had gone to her
house only four times, he said. The
other night when he returned he
found bis ladder gone from the wall
and at once he decided to give him
sell up. He would not tell the won-
ans name, but the prison officials
think they have discovered her iden.
tity. She went from her home In
Sullivan county, Ind, some years
ago to live In Jeffersonville, near her
convict lover.
Shepherd said that he wove his
ladder OF night, aud that 1t took him
months to finish it. 1t contained
threads, strings and bits of cords of
every size, length and color. They
were woven, knotted and twisted
skillfully.
Shepherd was sent to prison to
serve life sentence in 1875. Anew
trial was secured two years later
and he was recommitted on the same
sentence on April 10, 1873. He has
continually petitioned for executive
clemency and two years ago his SEN
tence was commuted to twenty
years. he will be released, conse-
quently, on April IS, 1893. He was
q acountry school-teacher. One night
at an apple-partng he had quarrel
with man named Macy Engle over
q girl. Engle had Shepherd arrest
ed and one night, before the case
was tried, Engle was assassinated.
Shepherd was convicted on purely
circumstantisl evidence and has
always maintained his innocence.

the RETIRED BURGLAR.
He Tells How No Game to Take ur
pu'ylYf 2aA PursuI.

Yurioua G4 i said the re-
tired burgIb WQS often our choice
Of occupatlI, ad 90 Of course our
whole lives, may be determined by
circumstances7 never had any
particular inclination for the bur
glary businessj In fact, I think my
inclinations would naturally be
rather against 1t. But when I was
a very young man I suffered greatly
from insomnia; l couldn't sleep
nights and ] couldn't keep awake
days.
Now, In these days, when things
are kept going all the time, there
are plenty Of night occupations, II l
had been born now could have
found plenty to do But In those
days things were slower, things used
to stop at night, and people used to
60 to bed and begin again In the
morning, and there was mighty lit
tie choice for a man in the way of
night work. So l suppose it was
natural enough for me to drift iAto
the burglary business.
"Well, hadn't more'n fairly got
settled down into 1t before my in
somnia left me and I had the worst
time you ever heard Of to keep awake
nights. I didn't dare to sit down
anywhere for fear I'd go to sleep. 1
think very likely that in reality this
was o good thing for me, for I had
to keep right on the alert every min
ute, and keep moving, and I dare
say that that kept me many time
from getting into trouble; but still
IT always seemed q kind of pity that
! couldn't have got over the insom-
MIA just little earlier than I did.
You see, then, I should have gone
into some other business, and I
should have liked it better, know"

THIS MORNING.

Hearing of the demu;rers in the
Hague cases was postponed until
Thursday next at 10 o'clock.
The case of the People VS.. Louis
Madsen and Charles Luud went to
trial, The defendants are accused O!
robbery, of haYing taken six silver
dollars from one John Barrett in a
saloon al the Detroit Mining district,
on the evening of December Goth last.
D. ID. HOutZ appeared for defendants.
Prosecuting Attorney Judd and his as
sistant Joseph Richards appeared for
the people.
The evidence developed the fact that
all parties to the scrimmage were very
drunk, and had been SO for two days,
1t is intimated that prior to the one
during which it was alleged money was
taken from Barrett there were numer-
Gus scraps, in one of which Barrett
used knife on Stewart, superin ten
dent of the hex mine. 1t was a
little difficult for the jury to extract
from the evidence given just
where the greatest blame lies, and who
ought and who ought not to be pun
ished, particularly who ought not.
Both Madsen and Lund were de-
clared to be not guilty of the offense
of robbing by verdict of the jury. They
will be sent back to the Juab county
Jail to complete the sentence imposed
upon them for fighting.

was startled with the information that
Joseph Clark of the Third ward had
died suddenly of heart disease.
Mr.. Clark, during the week, when
asked concerning his health, replied
that he never had enjoyed better
health than be has enjoyed during the
past winter and jocularly remarked
that he was going to live ninety years
yet. AS late as Saturday afternoon he
had been up town and on that day was
out at work in the field, He entered
the house at about 4:30 o'clock and in
sisted on helping his daughter do the
homework. She told him to sit down
and rest and Immediately thereafter he
was taken with a severe pain in the re-
gion of the heart. A doctor was sent
for, but in twenty minutes he was
dead; medical aid aid not reach him
before he died,
A competent physician explains that
the disease of the heart which caused
bis death was the result of long and
continued attack of rhumatism which

LOUIS, THE OGDEN FASTER

Picked up at springviIle By Officers and
Brought to Provo--Going to Denver
A1oot.
Louis Mellot, the eccentric indivi-
dual who has attracted more or less at
tention in Ogden the past eighteen
years Is IN Provo today. He wa s
Drought over from SpTingville by Mar
shall Storrs, who found him run
ming about the streets OF that city last
evening in his peculiar garb of white
and again this morning. Louis fright
ened several women and children over
there, especially last evening. The
moon playing hide and seek with the
earth's shadow, first blushing red and
then becoming siivery white, and
women turning their eyes from looking
skyWard down again toward our mum
dane sphere and there beholding gray
bearded man, his head wrapped in d
white cloth, and his body clothed in
white and over his shoulders coarse
blanket, the sight was such as to make
them shiVer and cry out in fear.
People thought Louis was crazy
man, perhaps an escaped insane
asylum patient, and the marshal
was called upon to bring him
over here. But they were mistaken.
Louis is far from being crazy. lie is
a religious enthusiast and for eighteen
years has lived not like other people.
He has worn sackcloth, bathed daily
i'll the Ogden river during winter, slept
on hard bed in cold tent near the
river, dressing himself in frozen gar
re in md mil
remembered that he completed forty
days fast only on the sixth of Deem
Der last.
He does not impose his views and
ideas on others, but is simply working
out his own salvation. st. Paul, he
says, boosted not of the luxuIies and
ease he enjoyed, but spoke of the trials
and tribulations he endured. He is q

class carpenter by trade and has al

pulses, or leaningS, as he prefers 10
term them, lead. MIN on to do what he
does and when once he undertakes
course these leanings prompt, be
completes that course. He says he has
been in Ogden eighteenyears and during
all that time has never been out of that
city Only on short walks for a few
miles, but now he must 60 east at least
to Denver, What he shall dc
when he gets there he doesn't
know, but presumes that he shall find
employment at his trade and continue
on in the even tenor OF his way. He
has no funds and proposes to walk,
and feels confident that he will be
taken good care of no matter where he
goes or where he may be found. He
will not go back to Ogden. He left
Ogden on Monday last and says he has
seen it for the last time.
Before his changed life began, about
eighteen years ago, he never married,
SO that he now mas no one depending
upon him at all. His only relatives are
a brother living in New York city and
a sister living in California to neither
of whom has he written for twelve
years. He was born in the city Of
buffalo, state of New York. Further
details of his history he does not care to
give, for the reason, he says, that news
papers say great many things about
him which he does not like, and some
which are not true. He does not care
to attract public attention or to be
much spoken about.
