Man Supposed to Have Been Murdered
Stops q Hanging.
From the Washington Star: Ex-Sher-
iff Blakeslee of Comanche county, Ne
braska, told story of his experience in
Office to Star writer the other day. Il
never hanged a man." he said. THE
vigilance committee usually settled
hanging offenses outside of the courts
Then we were not fixed for taking care
Of many prisoners. When l was sher-
if there were only three rooms to the
Jail, and all of them small One
slept in, another 1 used for an office
and the other l kept my prisoners in
when had any.
Zone time I received man charged
with numbering his partner. There was
little doubt about his guilt, so the
vigilance committee turned him over
to me. The prisoner and the murdered
man had left together, and somebody
found the partners body in the bushes.
A few miles farther on they caught the
prisoner, who had gun and other prop
erty known to have belonged to the
murdered man. 1t was bad case, the
body being mutilated as to be almost
unacceptable, but the prisoner said
he was innocent, and 1 never had a
more sociable fellow or better card
player in the Jail. He was the only one
there, and after l really got acquainted
with him we would play old sledge I'M
til late at night and then bunk together.
"He was tried and convicted, but it
made no difference with him. 1t was
my first hanging, and we got the gal
lows built, the prisoner watching the
work and making comments on it. The
rope came and he saw it. BILL said
he, 'yo' amt no good as a sheriff. Don't
yo' know that ere rope ought ter be
soaked? don't want this affair of ours
to go off any other way than smooth.
Yo' go soak that rope So l soaked the
rope, the prisoner helping me, and the
night before the hanging we sat down
to play old sledge. He said: Bill, amt
goin' to interfere none, an don't blame
yo', an no man kin say that I tried ter
run or didn't die game, but 1 want yo'
to promise me, if yo' ever meet that
partner of mine, yo will shorely shoot
i'm fer gettin' me hung. He's alive all
right, and it's shore mean fer i'm to
vamoose an git me in trouble
Il promised him, and we went on
with the game. About 10 o'clock man
came to the window and shouted for me,
then he tried the door of the Office, and
it wasn't locked. He walked right in
and said: Hello, Jim! Hello, Billp 1t
was the man we thought was murdered.
Jim stood up and said: You're purity
pardner to leave me hyar to be hanged.
They don't allow no shootin' irons hyar,
so we KANT settle but one way. Shuckp
Then there was the prettiest fight I
ever saw, Jim pounding his partner un-
til he called for quits. We all went to
see the judge that night and called off
the hanging, knowing the man who we
thought had been murdered Then the
two men went away and we never saw
them again, neither did we ever find
out who the corpse was that we picked
up in the bushes"

which had long since been given up to
the rats and spiders. Into this he
thrust her, and drew the bolt on the

Helen. I'VE can't wait for any long

Governor Fulton complied, He wrote
first an order to the jailer, commanding
him to let Lynde Graham go free; and
then he made out the pardon in due
form.
Helen kissed him rapturously; and
with the papers in her hand, bounded

Agnes threw her arms around the
girls neck, but Helen shook her off
with pretty petulance.
There, don't! You'll muss my collar,
and get my curls all in a snarl! Take
the papers and don't let the grass grow

Agnes reached the Jail, and gave to
the old warden the order for the prison

his hard old face softening with smile
of genuine delight.

THE BIG BOARD ACTS.
Wants Execution on Judge Archbaid's
Judgment Of Custer stayed.

The board of twcnty-one has not
been inactive. as Attorney Burns in
timated to court Monday and as he
learned to his surprise yesterday. When
he was served with a copy of a rule
granted by the Supreme court last Sat
urday calling upon the relators, or in
other words the board of six, to show
cause why the execution of Judge
Archbald's judgment of custer should
not be stayed until after final disposi-
tion Of the case by the Supreme court.
The petition for rule for the writ
of supersedeas, as it is legally called,
was presented by the attorney of the
incumbent board, d. ]. Reedy, to the
Supreme court in Philadelphia last Sat
urday. The rule was forthwith grant
ed and Saturday, April 8, fixed as the
time for hearing arguments. An ap-
peal, of course, was taken, at the same
time, from Judge Archbald's finding.
1t was made retLrnable on the third
Monday in February, 1899, the next
regular Lackawanna week in the Su-
preme court
Should the board of twenty-one win
in the arguments for the writ of super
sedeas, on April g. It would mean that
the local court could not disturb the
incumbent board until the Supreme
court had passed upon the Archibald
decision, and that would be a year at
least.
Immediately upon notification of the
taking of the appeal, Mr.. Burns served
the following on Mr.. Reedy:
To d. ]. Reedy attorney for the board
of control: Take notice: That in the
case of commonwealth against the board
of control wherein an appeal has been
taken to the Supreme court, the PLAINTIFF
offers to agree to have your appeal set
down for hearing on April IL, along with
the Pittston case. Will require three days
services of your paper book before day of
hearing. Respectfully,
Ira II. Burns,
Attorney for Plaintiff.
As yet Mr.. Reedy has taken no action
on the communication.

Attorney NJ. ]. Ruddy yesterday filed
an application for the enforcement of

hear the lecture on "The Roentgen
Rays in Medicine and Surgery" by
DR.. Max Stern, of Philadelphia, pro-
fessor of operative surgery in the Phil

tor of the governments army surgeons.
The lecture was a very interesting
and instructive one, as may be well
imagined when one considers the in
terest that attaches to the subject and
the eminence of the lecturer A prefa-
tory address on X-Rays from a gen
eral standpoint was made by DR.. Elias
G. Ross, Of this city, q former pupil
of DR.. Stern. DIR. r. II. Gibbons neatly

before Judge Edwards yesterday after
noon with plea to be released on bail,

himself as security.
Judge Edwards promptly denied the
petition, stating that he would not even
consider the case until there was pre-
sented a doctors certificate setting
forth that Patrolman Thomas is out Of
danger.
1t is a significant fact that schauna-
mann was brought down from Jail
