"Old Bill" Richey, the oldest pris-

whose brutal murder of the city mar
shall at New Boston, in Mercer coun.
ty, was familiar to the minds of Rock
Island nearly . quarter of . century
ago, has been recommended for par
don by the new board of pardons of
Joliet penItentinry. July 10, 1874, %
years ago. William Richey entered
Joliet penitentiary on life sentence
for killing Henry C. Edmunds, the
city marshal at New Boston. The
crime was a most cowardly one, and

less woulo have been expiated on
the gallows. Richey was a hunter
and trspper from Missouri and had
gone to New Boston to dispose of bis
furs and pelts. When he received
his money he became drunk and ter.
rorized the town. Entering a saloon
he called for rum, and when the bar
tender refused him he rushed out
side and with his shotgun blew
out every window in the place. The
city marshal placed him under ar.
rest and was conducting his prisoner
to Jail. when Richey drew from his
bootleg large hunting knife and
stabbed the marshal to death. While
awaiting trial Richey learned that
owing to defect in the law for the
two years then pending no murderer
could be hanged who pleaded guilty,
and taking advantage of this he es-
capped death by going to prison for life
Twenty three years of prison life aud
disease have left Richey but shadow
of his former self. For three years
past he has been an inmate OF the
prison hospital, unable to work and
only able to get around in goo
weather. He is now nearly 20 years
of age and fast losing his mind. A
sister living in California has agreed
to take and care for him during thu
ehort time he has to live.

THE EASTERN TROUBLE.
Notes and Conversations of Leading
Diplomats Discussed

New York, April 9.-At reception
given by the Spanish minister, Count
MOuravieff was much congratulated
on the soundness, completeness and
masterliness of his note.
Another subject discussed was
what are generally considered as the
warlike words of Mr. Balfour. AS
constituent was the general express
SlOnS for there waS,accOrding to a lead
ing diplomat, no reason why such
speech of provocative language should
be INDUCED at moment when Eng
land and France seemed to be get
ting on well for once in a while.
1T is commented upon that
during the recent interview between
Lord Salisbury and NJ. Hanotaux, the
latter complained about the undue
violence of the words by certain Eng
fish statesmen as regards France in
the Egyptian question. The former
had agreed it was a pity and said he
would use his influence that it should
not occur again. Now, right on top
of this comes this sort of second de
tiance, the first being that of Sir
Michael HickS-Beach, which stirred
the Chauvinists and made NJ. HanO-
tauX's position difficult.
The details of the blockade is not
deemed a drawback to the decidedly
pacific tendency which is springing
up in Greece. At the worst nothing
more is feared than that the Greeks
may feel it incumbent on themselves
to suffer one defeat at the hands of
the Turks, if only to appease the ma
tional excitement and avoid possible
revolution"
The Heralds dispatches from its
correspondent with the Turks mt the
front have created a strong impression
here from the learnedness and vivid
realization of the situation and of Civ
ing the true condition of the Ottoman
forces.

classic temple as the climax of all our
efforts at architectural display, that
we extend TO him and 10 the Greek
nation our profound sympathy in their
great struggle with the ancient OPP
