NEVER DID ANYTHING WRONG.
Yet the Miscresnt Had Drained a Babe aud
Tried to Kill "a Woman.

Springfield, Ills, Feb. l2.-The lack OF
moral sense of some people was exceed
ingly we'll illustrated in this city yes
terday when James Mengel was hanged
by the sheriff for as foul crime as a
man can we'll be guilty of. When he
was on the scaffold he displayed the
usual nerve" of his kind, but added a
speech in which every other sentence
was TO the effect that he was going to
heaven. But the most remarkable sem
tence was this: Il do not know that /
have ever done anything wrong
Perhaps he didn't. But hhis what he
did: On the morning of July 81, 1897, he
murdered little Dolie Briscoe, aged 10
months, a daughter Of Mary Briscoe, his
mistress The head of the mother Of
the babe was crushed with the same
hatchet that was used TO brain the lit
tie one, and the unfortunate woman
fingered between life and death for sew
eral months before she recovered. Mary
Briscoe had discarded Mengel and re-
fused to live longer with him. She de-
clared to Mengel that he was not the
father of the babe, and il is supposed
that this so aroused his jealousy that
he determined to commit double mur-
der.

yesterday. but no intimation Of it's i'm

sources. Assistant Secretary of state
Day, who has been entrusted with the

refused TO discuss tie message He said
merely that there was no development
In the case which properly could be
made public at the time. In one in
stance he supplemented this statement
by the remark that th(siere fact of in
formation being withheld Is not To be
taken as a serious indication. Every
effort TO supplement Days statement
with some information from the White
House failed. To urgent appeals for
something definite the president re-
piled through Secretary Porter that the
whole matter was in Days hands and
that the president relied on MIN To
handle the information for the press.

CUBAN SPIES ARE EvERYwHERE.
One of Them in the Havana Postof flee
secures the Letter.

The clerk in the employ Of Minister
His memory written abstracts were for
warded to New York and it was quickly
agreed that could possession of the let
ter be obtained and his statements
proven to be true the letter would be
of incalculable value TO the Cuban cause
as substantiating what Cuban leaders
had maintained regarding autonomy,
and the general Spanish policy. in Of
ficial circles, toward this country and
it's officers Immediately words of
warning and urgings to be on the alert
were sent to every Cuban who might be
in a position to obtain track of or in
tercept the much-sought-for missive.
The letter reached Havana five days
after its postmark i'm Washington An
agent of the Cuban party who is an
empoye OF the Spanish postoffice knew
that the letter was on the way. and
when it came into his hands it was car
ried from the postoffice and copy was
made of it, Word to this effect was
sent TO the Cuban leader i'm Jackson
VILE, Fla. who at once asked the secre.
Cuban junta i'm Havana to secure the
what was desired. The Havana post
office clerk was not willing to do this
at first. but afterward consented. He
was obliged to account for a certain
number of letters to other employees OF
the department
The original was therefore taken
from the envelop, several blank sheets
were substituted in place Of the paper
upon which De LONE had written. and
the Ntter finally postmarked in the Ha-
vana office and sent on its routine way.
Eight days from its arrival in the Ha-
vana office the sealed envelop, properly
addressed to Senior Canalejas. was de-
livered at the Hotel Inglaterra. Senior
Canalejas did not regard the matter
seriously at the time, although the hatel
boy who brought him the letter and NE
postoffice employe who had last charge
OF IL were arrested. So also was the
hotel employe who went several timeS
daily to the postoffice for the mails. All
three were discharged after an exAn{
ination. "Senor Canaleias commInf-
Gated almost Immediately with Minist
de LONE. and for several weeks letter
and cablegrams passed between tn
two, but no trace ofthe letter could be
obtained. Canalejas shortly thereafter(
left Havana, going to Madrid. IL is not
explained why the letter was kept by
