HIS BODY FOUND.
Death Cut Short the Liberty Of
Convict Pound,
Who Escaped From the Lansing
Penitentiary.
FLOATING IN RIVER
Bear Independence, Mo-, Is Dis
covered His Corpse.
FLOATING IN RIVER
lie Had Evidently Drowned
While Swimming Missouri.

LeavenwOrth. Sept 1S-A hoater was
found in the Missouri river last Mon
day near Independence, Mo, and from
the description the authorities were led
to believe that the. body was that of
Charles Pound. whose daring escape
from the Kansas state penitentiary
September 9 is yet fresh in the minds
Of the public.
Warden J. Bruce Lynch went to In
dependence yesterday and caused the
body, which had been buried, to be
exhumed. At a GLANCE. the remains were
identified as those of the ex-convict.
1t was found that the man had been
wounded in the right leg above the
knee, and one finger on the right hand
was broken. There was a scar on the
back of the head and other marks lead
ing to a complete Identification
Pound made one of the most daring
escapes from prison ever attempted at
the penitentiary- He and a companion
William Blayl0ck, climbed 40 feet up
an air shaft to freedom, and then broke
through the guard line. Pounds com
panion was shot and it was believed
that Pound himself had been wounded.
Pound made for the river, where he
managed to elude the officers.
Opposite the penitentiary is an ISL
and and in all probability he managed
to swim to the island but was drowned
Pound was sent to the penitentiary
for life. Six years ago he killed his
wife in cold blood at Galena. His COM
panlOn, VINO is now in the penitenttary,
gave to the officers full and complete
statement of their plans for escape,
which was one of the most daring on
record
While going up the shaft great risk
was run of coming in contact with the
big elevators When an elevator ap-
preached the men would slip into
pocket and then proceed on their peril |
Gus climb upward, round after round I

the fresh air was reached a break was /
made through the guard lines and four !

planning their escape it was believed /
that one would be killed and the other |
escape, but neither knew which.

expenses Of the government. (Applau SCI
In my judgment the income tax IS
just 1t is not war upon property, 70 ut
1t IS a demand that those who have
property and who demand the prOtec-
ton of the property by federal laws
should be willing to support the gov
eminent to which they look for that
protection and not seek to use the in
strumentaitieS Of government for their
own benefit and then throw the burden
of supporting that government on the
backs of those not able to bear it. Cap
plause)
The three parties which have join
ed in my nomination agree that while
there are other issues before the people
aside from the money question vet the
money question rises paramount to
them all and must be settled first.
Other questions can wait, the mon
ey question can not. 1t has been fore
ed upon public attention. It has been
brought before the people ard we have
to decide whether we shall continue the
present financial system wherein a
few men have undertaken to run the
government or shall put the financial
policy of the American people in the
hands of the American people TO be
framed by thcm and for them from now
on. (Applause.) I never lose an oppor-
tunfty to impress upon the people the
Importance of this question to every
citizen. The Republican platform de-
clares that we must maintain our pres
ent financial policy, not until we get
tired of it, but until foreign nations
get llEeu OF II ana consent Tor us to
abandon it. To my mind no more in
famous proposition was ever endorsed
by any party and cannot believe as
look into the faces of tens of thousands
of free Americans throughout all these
states that they are willing to trust the
destfnes of the people in the hands OF
foreigners whom we can only reach by
petition. (Applause.)
The Republican party had a great
opportunity before it. Here was a
Democratic administration which was
being opposed by a large part of the
Democratic party, and il is a much
more difficult thing for a man to op-
pose wrong in his own party than in
mis- opponents. Here were Democrats
willing to array themselves in OppOsi-
ton TO the policy of the president, not
because they loved the president less.
but because they loved the people in
dnitely more. (Appiause.)
when the Republicans assembled in
St. Louis, if they had opposed the pres
idents financial policy and declared
that they would restore the money OF
the constitution and the Democratic
party had indOrsed the administration,
the Republican party would have swept
the Democra tic party out of existence"
