e. NJ. Harder and A. @. Knight DIsbarred
by the Missouri Supreme Court.
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, July 3.-Judge
Sherwood filed an opinion in the SUI
preme court in banc this morning in
the proceedings instituted by Attor-
ney-General Walker disbarring Col
Ed Nj. Harder and A. g. knight, of
Trenton, forever from practicing be-
fore the supreme court
The action was the result of the
murder trial of Joseph A. Howell,
who was indicted for numbering Mrs.
Nettie Hall, Linn county widow, and
her four little children. The case was
tried in Grundy county and Howell
convicted of murder in the first degree.
An appeal was taken to the supreme
court, and when the case was called up
for argument the attorney general
found that the transcript of testimony
had been mutilated and forged SO as
to destroy all identity of the murdered
person. In brief, the records had been
so doctored as to leave the state with
out any case. This matter, being
brought to the atten ton of the court,
measures were adopted to have the
records corrected and Howell was sub
sequently hanged. The attorney-gen-
eral then brought action to disbar the
attorneys for the defense. Mai. A. w.
Mullins, one of the attorneys, barely
escaped by. divided court, on the
theory that he did not know the rec
ords had been falsified. This is the
first disbarment proceedings ever in
stituted in the state supreme court.

Maurice Ingraham strayed into Gou-
sIpirs, as he did nearly every day. in or
der to indulge in a quarter hour of
homesickness for the paradise of art
from which he had been eXiled by
means of a rich legacy. When one
falls heir to the estate of a child1ess
uncle worth several millions it de-
priTes him of the delicious makeshiftS
and economies and excursions of the
guild of painters. It has been said that
champagne tastes and beer income
are cause of miserieS. But an income
which seems to constrain to champagne
,ean the time might prove equally
&C oppressive. Ingraham was conscious
that the men who had worked beside
him in certain famous studio in Paris,
now that he was rich, tried very hard
10 treat him in the old cordial way.
But he felt the patronage of art toward
money, which is loftier than that of
money toward art.
That morning he spied at Coughs q
photograph Of moderate dimensions, a
landscape signed by former fellow
stldent of his, Victor Forsythe. Their
friendship had continued but pallidly
.and internationally. Forsythe had mar
girl, but not at all of the smart set. In
graham had sent rather expensive
<wedding gift and had meant to pay a
visit. Then he heard that the Forsythes
were out of town for the summer Evil
IDENTIFY the artist had profted by his
vacation; the photograph from his
painting showed a work of rare
quality. 1t was a riverside meadow,
with clump of willows; the stream
had shadowy depths and luminous ed
dies; some sheep were pasturing in the
foreground. Nothing could be more
simple asld serene than this idyllic
landscape Ingraham's first impress
sion was of something grandiose. After
"a moment this quality disappeare' :;
but if he turned away his gaze and
then looked afresh at the picture it al
ways made the same effect upon him.
He decided that it was something about
the background; there were vague,
large curves, perhaps of clouds or of
distant hills; at all event, they were
extraordinarily imposing in their faint
and tenuous suggestions of immensely.
There is one vulgar consolation re-
served for the bondholder," said Ingra-
ham humbly to himself 'He can buy
what pleases him and at the same time
encourage art.
He at once decided to lunch at an
Italian restaurant frequented by the
painter clique who liked to recall the
impressions of slxetching tour that
they had once made in a body to Rome
and TO talk of the coloring of the great
Western Kansas world. [volume] (WaKeeney, Kan.) 1885-current, 1895-07-06

like that without a real. inspiration.
You OWNED, you saw that prodigiouc
curve, as of colossal beautiful shout

mountain or a cloud; but you have
softened and made it mysterious-a
thing to worship"
''Come, no, will tell you all about
it, because it will really not do for you
to keep on raving about stroke of
nonresident genius. Well, this was the
way of it. Mrs. Forsythe and I went
away for our wedding trip as far as
the state of Maine. We visited the
great lakes-which they modestly call
ponds there-we plunged into the pine
wilderness and turmed up among the
too compendious scenery and civiliza
ton of Mount Desert. At the end of
our vacation we stayed few days in
the city of Portland, and while there
we made little excursion in horse
car to pretty village with an old
English name. The. conductor was
friedly, and advised us to walk along
a road until we should come to a mill
dam; there we should find little
steamer ready to take us three miles
upstream. TO the log boom.
'The place was charming. 1t had an
air of exquisite remoteness. OF course,

HE HATED WOMEN.
Bachelor OF Vienna Used to Buy Three
Seats at the Theater.

Bachelor OF Vienna Used to Buy Three
Seats at the Theater.
There are SO many sham misogynists
about in this affectedly cynical age
that one can hardly help extending a
measure of admira ton to the thorough
ness and consistency of certain rich
old Viennese bachelor, whose death
was announced the other day.
In the case of this highly eccentric
old gentleman. horror and dread of our
unfortunate sex had become positive
mania, for it is recorded of him that
whenever he went to a place of public
entertainment he took the precaution
of booking three seats, in the center
one of which he seated himself, leaving
those on each side vacant, so as to
avoid all risk of being obliged to sit
next to woman!
He even carried his extraordinary
craze beyond the grave, by leaving in
structions that no woman was to be
buried either to the right or left Of
him, even if it should be necessary to
purchase three graves in order to in
sure the carrying out of his strange
behest.
Perhaps the most curious thing IN
the whole strange story is the state
ment that this agreeable old gentle
man left behind him large bundle of
letters, which he had grimly indorsed:
Attempts made by my family to put
me under the yoke Of matrimony."
As he appears to have been a very
wealthy man, this alleged action on
the part of his relatives seems by no
means easy to explain. -Lady's Pic

SING SING, N. Y, July Mrs Bu-
chanan, first and also third wife OF Dr.
Robert W. Buchanan, the condemned
wife murderer, went to Poughlxeepsie
last night to make last appeal for her
husband. At o'clock yesterday MORN
ing she went to Rhinecliff, Gov. Morton's
home, and, securing entrance to his
private office, sank on her knees before
the governor and pleaded for her hns-
bands life, though her grief almost
prevented her from speaking. Gov.
Morton was plainly overcome by the
woman's pleading and tears, and tears
stood in his eyes as he lifted her to her
feet and told her that he could not
grant her request.
News of this refusal to interiors
further was at once telegraphed here
and Warden Sage decided that nothing
was left to him but to carry out the
laws sentence, the attorney-genera
having also decided that it would be
right to proceed. Preparations were
at once made for carrying out the
death sentence.
1t was 11:14 when the witnesses were
called to the death chamber. All was
then ready and Electrician Davis was
at the switchboard. Close by in the
death cell was the convict who was to
pay the penalty.
When the party were seated the elec-
trician sent the current through the
lights on the chair. There were 1,740
volts on the bank and when they were
switched off again the warden and two
guards appeared at the door with DIR.
Buchanan. He walked in without q
word and took his seat.
In about thirty seconds Buchanan
was strapped. Then the current was
turned on and in forty seconds he was
pronounced dead. The voltage of /, TAO
was kept on for four seconds and then
reduced to forty volts, which was kept
on for thirty seconds more. 1t was
the quickest and most successful elec-
tricision ever known at the prison.
