EDITOR STAR:-In looking over your
paper see an account of the death Of
Joseph Strauss. A nobler type of man
hood meyer walked the streets of Reyn-
oidsville, whose heart never had an
ungenerous throb, and whose hand was
always ready to help the needy. He
was not the man to do a charitable act
with the intention of making himself
appear generous before his fellow man,
but he did it from the goodness of his
heart, and without that principal deep
ly permeating his nature no man can be
either noble, good or great. / take 1t
that this rock on which his whole life
rested, followed. up by the perpetual
and enduring industry that marked his
whole career, made him at once the hon.
est and capable man who invited, In
every act Of his life, and received the
confidence and love-the unbounded
confidence and love-of all who learned
to know him. ED. WALSH.

"Bat" shea's Life Saved by the Confess
4 sion Of . COmrade. i
ALBANY, Jan. 6.-The climax of one
of the most dramatic and sensational
criminal incidents of the states history
was made public when, just 48 hours
prior to the execution of the death sem
tence upon Bartholomew Shea, another
man confessed to the murder. The in
vitations for the electrical killing Of
Shea had been issued, the state electro
clan was already upon the ground at
Dannemora prison, and Shea had re-.
signed himself to his fate when another
prisoner in the institution, comrade
Of Shea's and participation in the election
outrages when the tragedy occurred,
confessed to the crime. The man who
voluntarily ,confesses is John McGough
of Troy, now serving sentence OF 10
years and months for shooting and
attempting to kill William Ross, a
brother of Robert Ross, who was sup
posed to be Shea's victim. No details
of the crime are given in McGough's
confession.
News of the confession was at once
laid before Governor Morton and he
promptly granted Shea respite of four
weeks. The latter's attorneys will at
once take steps to secure q new trial.
