A STRANGE SENTENCE.
Punishment For a Murder That Was Nor
Cruel Than Death.

Punishment For a Murder That Was More
Cruel Than Death.
In 1901 a nan died III the Catskills
who had been condemned by one Of the
strangest sentences Oh record. Ralph
Sutherland was born i'll l70l and lived
in q 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 i'll an angry
chase upon his horse and soon overlook
her The poor woman never reached the
house alive. and Sutherland was indictA
ed aud arrested Oh 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 scaifold.
Then came the plea of the INSULT
cheney of circunistantial 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 I've 90 years old
ltwas ordered that the Gull it should
be released on his own recognizance,
and that, pending the final execution of
moose about his neck and show himself
before the Judges of Catskill once "a year
| to prove that he wore his badge of ill.,
| fanny and kept his crime i'll mind. 1t
| was more cruel decision than the SELL
tencc of immediate death would have
| been. but it was no doubt in harmony
with the spirit of the times
Thus Ralph Sutherland lived. He 81
| 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
| showed the moose that circled his neck.
AT last his ninety-ninth year came,
the time when the court had ordered
tkat the utmost penalty of the law
should be executed. Fer 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 '.1He who would accuse
him or executev 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 1t
had passed his hundredth year. was dis
covered dead, alone i'll his house, hi:
throat was found to be encircled by the
rope which had been placed there nearly
three-Guarters of century before. ~

Satan at Camp Meeting.

During the afternoon the younger min

The good bishop was keen lover Of the

he strOlled off for smoke. At a litsle
distance he found an abrupt ledge ell
