here at OSLO in the morning. The Jail
was under the guard of the territorial

no disturbance of any kind.
The convicts spent the night in
prayer and at 9:O5 walked from their
cell across the Jail yard, and mounted the
scaffold steps without tremor. They
made no statement. Vicar General
Fourchegu said the last prayer and in
the most perfect and orderly manner
the fatal drop followed. Only Patricio
Valincias' body showed the least signs
Of life after the drop. He died of stran-
gulation. The necks Of the Borrego
brothers and Alarid were broken. The
bodies were cut down at o:35 and at ten

1T WAS MURDER.
Mystery Attends n Supnosed Suic1i
at JaclSsorJ-ille, III.

Mystery Attends n supposed Suicide
at Jaclssonville, vi.
Jacksonville, H.. April 3.-The sup
posed suicide of Charles l.. Hastings has
developed into mysterious murder.
Suspicion points to Mr.. Draper, who
was formerly employed in the abstract
office of Judge Kirby, where Hastings
worked. He says he left on account Of
Hastings oyerbearing ways. Draper
began business in the abstract line for
himself. For some time Kirby's vault,
in which were kept the records of his
Office, has been entered by some one
who maliciously mutilated the books.
The theory is that Hastings on the fatal
night discovered the murderer, sup
posedly Draper, in the vault, and that a
| fight ensued, at the end of which Hast
| ings lay dead on the floor with no less
than 172 gashes in his body, made by a
penknife. Draper was arrested, charged
with the crime, upon the statement of
some ono that he was seen going home
late on the night OF tho murder COW
cred with blood. He was placed In Jail.
bail being refused.
Wednesday night, when the murder
was committed, was dark and stormy
and the street lights were shut off,
Draper says he went from his house
early in the evening to his office to at
tend to urgent business and did not
leave until about bedtime, when he
went directly home. The bloodstains
seen on his stairs and doorknob is ex-
planned by cut finger, which he shows
and declares that he can prove his in
nocence. The most damaging circum-
stance against him is that apparently
no one but himself would have any OBJ
ject In investigating Judge Kirby's
vaults, where the abstracts of records
are kept and no one else would know
how to enter tho vaults.

BIG sum STOLEN.
a Bold Robbery Occurs on Street
in Chicago.
A MESSENGER RELIEVED OF $500.
Knocked Senseless by n Fellow EN-
ployc and the Treasure Taken
by His Assailant and Two Con-
federates-One Captured.

Chicago, April Christ Schultz,
aged Is, messenger for the wholesale
clothing firm of Kuh, Nathan & Fisher,
at Van Buren, and Franklin streets, was
robbed of $4,000 at II o'clock on the
Twelfth street viaduct near the Nickel
Plate depot.
Edward Wilson, driver of delivery
wagon for the firm, with two confeder-
ates, committed the crime, after knock
Ing the boy in the head with billy,
while he was riding on the seat by his
side. Schultz was afterwards bound
and gagged and left lying unconscious
IN the bottom of the wagon, while Will
son and his confederates made good
their escape.
Shortly after ten o'clock the boy had
been sent by the cashier of the clothing
firm to the Metropolitan national bank,
1874 La Sale street, to cash check for
$4,000 with which to pay the cutters of
the concern. AS is customary, the mes
senger was accompanied by Edward
Wilson, who has charge Of the delivery
wagon, also the property of the clothing
firm. After cashing the check Schultz
placed the money in a satchel which he
carried on his lap. On reaching the
viaduct Schultz was dealt heavy blow
on the head with billy. He saw Wilson
with the weapon in his hand motion to
two other men who were standing on
the viaduct. All three then boarded the
wagon, bound and gagged the youth,
stufang handkerchiefs in his mouth.
With a knife Wilson cut, open the grip
and put the $500 in his pockets. The
three men then jumped from the wagon
and escaped.
Schultz is in pecarious condition
from wounds inflicted, and, it is feared,
there is possible fracture of the skull
and murder may yet be added to the
crime of robbery.
The police during the afternoon cap
tured Edward Grant, one of the men
who held up and robbed Messenger
Schultz. He was taken to Thirty-fifth
and Halsted streets. He made con-
fession admitting his completely in the
crime. Nearly $1,000 was found in his
possession
