cause Mr.. Hill was a prosecutor at the
time he was bound to grant pardon or
commute the sentence; that he would
be prejudiced if he did not, and that he
owed it to himself to at least commute
the sentence.
Il know all about the case," said
Governor Hill. 81 know that this man
was guilty and that he ought to be pun
ished. 1 do not approve of hanging as a
mode of punishment, not that l am OPP
posed to the death penalty, but 1 think
that some other method than hanging
should be found However, it would
not do to allow this man to go at large
or even to have the opportunity for es-
cape which life imprisonment might
give him. There is no use asking me
for clemency."
While they were talking a messenger
came in with the information that the
man had escaped "You don t want any
pardon now," said Governor Hill dryly,
and the interview closed. But the man
was caught and returned to the Jail,
and the effort for clemency was renewed
to no purpose.
The case, however, made a profound
impression on Governor Hill. In his
first message he recommended that some
method other than hanging be found for
punishment of murderers by infection
of the death penalty. That was the be-
ginning of the New York electrocuting
method of killing murderers. But there
was great opposition in the legislature,
not so much to change of method as
to an effort to entirely abolish the death
penalty. General N. M. Curtis, now a
member of the national house of repre-
sentatives, was member of the assem-
bly, and made very hard fight to have
capital punishment abolished. The bill
for this purpose passed the lower house,
and it was only by the slillful work Of
Governor Hill that it was defeated in
the senate. The governor would have
vetoed the bill. but he did not want to

Senator Hills Experience In a
Murder Case.
A FUTILE APPEAL FOR oLEMENCY.
Reed Recalls His First Speech
In the House-How He Succeeded In
Commanding Attention-Enect of the
Address.
copyright, 1851


Senator Hill of New York had a very
interesting murder case Just before he
became governor of New York 1t is
not so much the ease that made it inter
esting as the story that grew out of it
1t was in 1884. Mr.. Hill was then lien
tenant governor of New York. Mr.. Cleye-
land was governor and had just been
elected president As lieutenant govern
or Mr.. Hill continued to practice law,
and in December, 1884, was engaged to
assist the prosecuting attorney in quite
q celebrated murder case. The counsel
flor the defense made the point that
Lieutenant Governor Hill was likely to
become governor, and in case his client
was convicted application would have
to be made to Governor Hill for execu-
tive clemency. He claimed that under
the circumstances the lieutenant govern
or had no right to appear in the case !;
that having been prosecuting attorney
he wonld be prejudiced against the pris-
oner, and the accused, if found guilty,
lldN0 ldI1 pC1OAC
the governor, who had helped to convict
him. The court overruled the point
raised by the defense, and an exception
was noted. but it never resulted in hav-
ing a new trial Senator Hill says that
the case itself was rather remarkable,
but the particularly are not essential to
the present story. Well, the man was
convicted, and, sure enough, application
for pardon was made to Governor Hill,
Mr.. Cleveland having in the meantime
resigned as governor and been succeeded
by the lieutenant governor. The same
attorney who had defended the man ap-
peared with an application for pardon.
He declared that notwithstanding the
fact that Hill had appeared as the pub
lie prosecutor in the case he would ask
him for executive clemency. He even
went into an argument to show that be-

his dog routed out the owls from under
q bush. The birds promptly made a
savage attack on the disturber of their
peace and were getting the best of the
battle when the owner of the dog in
terfered with a club. 1t was not until
he had beaten them into insensibility
that they gave up the fight.
The birds, which are male and fe-
male, measure seventeen inches from
the top of the head to the tip of the
tail and thirty-two inches from tip to
tip of their wings. The feathers are of
peculiar downy nature, like those of
very young birds. The wings and back
are barred with white and black, the
white stripes presenting mottled APP
pearance. The breast is of a peculiar
cream yellow, and the feathers are
very thick. The head is small for the
body and has no ears or horns such as
are commonly found among owls. 1t
is striped and mottled. The beak is
yellow and the legs and feet are thick
" feathered to the toes. Unlike the
majority of owls, they slept at night
and were active in the daytime. Their
habits and their general Characters
tics, except for their marking, closely
resemble those of the hawk owl.
Hawk owls are found in the polar re-
gions and in the northern parts of
America and Asia, but are extremely
rare south of the Canadian line, and
have been found in the states only after
severe winters. The hawk owl is from
fifteen to seventeen inches in length,
with comparatively small head and
light yellow beak. Its plumage, which
is thicker than that of the generality OF
owls, is of dark spotted brown above
and light striped white below. The
feathers are fringed with delicate
downy filaments. There are no visible
ears, and the legs are feathered to the
toes. Like the owls captured at Jack
son, the hawk owl is a great fighter,
often attacking animals twice its size.
1t searches for its food duPing the day,
and sleeps at night. Contrary to the
usual custom of owls, it builds its nest
near the summit of tall tree, instead
of in a hollow in the trunk or among
the branches. Its flight is swift, and il
frequently follows and overtakes iocks
| OF smaller birds.

Two owls were captured in New Jer-
sey few weeks ago which are bother
ing bird experts. According to Robert
Rae, of Newark, who has been study
ing birds for nearly forty years. they
are the first of their kind found in this
country. He visited the Museum Of
Natural History in New York, but failed
to find either specimens like them or a
description that fitted them. The bird
that resembles them most closely is the
hawk or Arctic owl (Surnia ululal.
The owls, according to the New York
Sun, were captured by man living at

Methods of Relief.

W. H. G. Simmons, district master work
man of the knights of Labor, addressed
the local assembly of timers last night
AS a remedy for the unsatisfactory state
of labor in the District, Mr.. Simmons sug-
gested that landlords should repair their
premises A very large number of build
ings stood in need of repair. and this work
would afford employment for very many
men, and at the same time accrue to the
benefit of the landlords. This he thought
would restore confidence and building oper-
atoms would go forward IN the spring
with renewed life. AS the second way of
improving the condition of the people of
the District, he suggested the erection of
new public schools. The surplus in the
treasury to the credit of the District fund
could be applied in this way. He referred
to the fact that the Commissioners in their
estimates asked for enough money to con-
duct the present schools on the basis of
the present attendance, and then got only
about one-half of what they asked. He
opposed the issue of bonds for the eXteA-
sion of streets and sewers. He also spoke
in favor of local self-government for the

ELECTED OFFICERS.
WOOdburn Citizens Hold a Meeting
and Transact Business.

The semi-annual election Tuesday even
ing attracted a good attendance at the
meeting of the WOODBURY. Citizens Asso-
citation. which was held at Kelly's Hall,
with Vice President Walker in the chair.
After Mr.. John Clarke had been admitted
to membership the chairman of the school
house committee reported that, owing to
so much work, he had failed to wait on
the Senate committee in regard to the bill
now before them, making provision for a
new site and a new school house for this
much-neglected neighborhood. He said he
would endeavor to see them, however, in
few days.
Mr.. b. f. Joy of the post Office commit
Messrs. Morgan and Walker We're added to
said committee, and meeting will be held
at 1880 o'clock next Tuesday evening at the
residence of DIR. Walker, for the purpose
of stirring up the post office authorities.
Mr.. John Kelly of the road committee re-
ported that letter had been written the
Commissioners in reference to the bad con-
dition of Rock Creek Church road, but
that no answer had been received.
The semi-annual election of officers then
took place, with the following result: Presi-
dent, A. Walker; vice president, John Kelly;
secretary, John Meiklejohn; treasurer, b.
f. Joy.
On motion vote of thanks was rendered
the retiring president, Mr.. IL. j. Morgan,
and the secretary was instructed to convey
the same to him in writing.
