Mrs. Wm. Roche died Oct. II, 1897,
at her home in Fremont, Winnie
shiek county, Iowa.
From the scene of dawning day,
So many are called to sever;
We catch a glimpse of a brilliant ray,
And then it's gone for ever.
Ger the stage in early years,
Deaths paling cloud did hover,
And Oh! Too pittiful for tears.
Died four darlings' mother.
Her, did they their troubles tell,
And she the light uncover,
But now they hear her funeral knel,
Childish joys are over.
When the voice of God did speak,
And into His arms she fell,
Low, calm, sad, solitary, meek,
We heard her last farewell.

EBANKs' CASE
Warden Edgar Declines to Surrender
the Prisoner

the Prisoner
SAN QUENTIN PRISON, Oct. 29-
Another complication has arisen in the
case of Murderer Ebanks. Sheriff Jen-
nings of San Diego county came to the
penitentiary with an order from Judge
Torrance for the prisoners return for
the purpose of resentencing the con-
demned murderer.
Sheriff Jennings saw acting Warden
A. ]. Edgar and made a formal demand
on him for the murderer and Captain
Edgar fatty refused to deliver him up,
stating that he was acting under the in
structions of the Attorney General.
Sheriff Jennings could do nothing ana
will return to San Diego.
Later J. Ebanks the murderer, will
be taken from San Quentin prison and
removed to San Diego county to be re-
sentenced.
He was sentenced to death by Judge
Torrance of San Diego and sent to San
Quentin to be hanged. His attorneys
took an appeal and on the date set for
the execution of the sentence Acting
Warden Edgar refused to hang him.
Edgar also refused to obey an order from
the superior court of San Diego county
directing him to deliver Ebanks into the
custody of Deputy Sheriff Jennings tn
be taken back to San Diego for resen-
tence. Then he appealed to the attorney
general for advice and today was in
formed that he cannot refuse to obey the
order of the San Diego courts. Ebanks
will therefore be turned over to Deputy
Sheriff Jennings.
Edgar himself will also have to appear
before the San Diego court to show causc
why he should not be punished for con-
tempt in failing to execute the murderer
on the day set.
