Tragedy In Far Away Honolulu.
Lexington, Ky, January 8i.--t'nited
States Minister Willis. who recently diod
In Honolulu, made an interesting discovery
while serving his country In that far away
land lie found that the most eloquent and
popular native preacher In Honolulu Is n
descendant OF one of the most noted fami-
Hes In Kontucky-the Dcshns. This dis
covery brings to the surface s0mo hitherto
unpublished facts concerning one OF the
most sensational tragedies Kentucky has
ever known. Joseph Dcshu WAS governor OF
part OF 1895 Isaac Debha ron OF the COVER
nor. killed James Baker traveller, and
robbed him OF $500. He was arrested and
placed in jail and the evidence was so
strong against him that thcre WAS great
danger OF his being lynohcd. and he was
taken to the Jail In typthiena Tor safe
keeping. He was tried and convicted and
sentenced to be hanged While In the Gym
thiana Jail he tried 10 commit suicide by
cutting cash IN his throat. He nearly
succeeded. as his lifo was barely saved.
Owing TO his influential family relations
much sympathy WAS aroused In favor OF the
prisoner after his attempted suicide, anu
there was strong effort mado to induce
Governor Desha TO pardon bis so1. But the
governor held out against 1t, and IL was
feared that the son Of Kentucky governor
would have to hang. Finally after much
persuasion and many petitions had been
presented TO him the stern old governor re-
Tented and not long before the expiration
OF his term as governor he pardonel his
son. 1t has been stated that Governor
Dcsha resigned after pardoning his way
ward boy but this Is mistake. He ser'cd
out the remaining month"; OF his term and
retired from his Office full Of honors, II
was supposed that Isaac went to South
America and died, and II was not until
