A STRANGE SENTENCE.

Punishment For q Murder That Was More
Eij,- Cruel Than Death. 4se5E2
In 1901 a man died in the Catskills
who had been condemned by one Of the
strangest sentences on record. Ralph
Sutherland was born in 1901 and lived
in a stone house near Leeds. He was a
man of violent temper and morose dis
position, stunned by his neighbors and
generally disliked. Not being able to
get an American servant, he imported a
Scotchwoman, and, according to the
usage of the times, virtually held her
in bondage until her passage money
had been refunded.
Unable to endure any longer the rag
ing temper Of her master, the girl ran
away. Immediately upon discovering
her absence the man set off in an angry
chase upon his horse and soon overlook
her. The poor woman never reached the
house alive, and Sutherland was indict-
ed and arrested on the charge of murder.
At the trial he tried to prove that his
horse had taken fright, run away,
pitched him out Of the saddle and DASH
ed the girl to death upon the rocks, but
the jury did not accept the defense, and
Sutherland was sentenced to die upon
the scaffold. = 4 ~
Then came the plea of the INSULT
cheney Of circumstantial evidence and
the efforts of influential relations These
SO worked upon the court that the judge
delayed the sentence Of death until the
prisoner should be 80 years old.
It was ordered that the culprit should
be released on his own recognizance,
and that, pending the final execution of
his sentence, he should keep hangman's
moose about his neck and show himself
before the judges Of Catskill once a year
to prove that he wore his badge of in
fanny and kept his crime in mind It
was more cruel decision than the SEN
tence Of immediate death would have
been, but it was no doubt in harmony
with the spirit Of the times
Thus Ralph Sutherland lived. He al
ways lived alone. He seldom spoke His
rough, imperious manner had gone.
Years followed years. At each session
Of the court the> broken man came be-
fore the bar Of justice and silently
oAOW uAO uOOoO UAdO CAIC4Su LIS LUX.
At last his ninety-ninth year came,
the time when the court had ordered
that the utmost penalty Of the law
should be executed. : For the last time
the man tottered before the Judges
bench, but new judges had arisen in
the land, new laws had been made, old
crimes had been forgotten or forgiven,
and there was none who would accuse
him or execute sentence. Indeed the
awful restriction that had bound his
life SO intimately to the expiration of
his crime was now legally removed. +,
But the spirit Of self punishment con-
tinued, and when Sutherland, after he
had passed his hundredth year, was dis
covered dead, alone in his house, his
throat was found to be encircled by the
rope which had been placed there nearly
three-quarters of century before
