Mr.. Simpson said in substance that
he would rather be with Aguinaldo
than with General Otis.
An old soldier in the audience arose
and said that the speech was dropping
too much into politics. This was ap-
plauded and greeted with cries Of

RELICS OF CHASTITY CRIMES.
History of Salt Lake Crimes Told by GruesOme Collection
of CuriOS.

Any citizen of Salt Lake who has the
desire or the curiosity to learn some
thing of police work in its most inter-
esting phases. cannot put day to
greater advantage than by going
through and inquiring into the history
of the hundreds of articles contained in
the cabinet of testaments TO crime at
police headquarters. The assortment
of stuff-the collection of thirtyfive or
forty years-is SO varied that it is diff
cult for the average mind to compre-
bend half of what there is in it. Placed
upon the scales in mass it would
weigh, perhaps, a half ton, and sold for
all it is worth, would bring sum suffi-
cient to support a family for good,
long period. Anything from a coun-
terfeit scent piece to an internal ma
chine can be seen there, and the crude
manner of construction of some of the
relics are interesting studies.
There are about 1000 keys of all
shapes and sizes, taken from prison
ers OF found on the streets: fifty is

Enoch Davis Crime.
One of the most conspicuous objects
in the cabinet recalls the crime of
which Enoch Davis was convicted five
years ago, that of wife-murder. He
was executed in the southern end of
the county Sept. ii. 1894, and a section
of the back brace of his death chair
has been preserved, telling a mute tale
of justice. Il piece of paper, which
happened to be a blank prescription of
DR.. ]. S. Witcher, was placed over the
dead mans heart, with the bulls-eye Of

A Story About Villmessant.

The discovery by the Paris police of a
skeleton in the cellars of the hotel of
NJ. Villmessant. the founder of the
Figaro. brings back to my mind a story
told me by Aurelien Scholl. Villmessant
was one of those men that carried an
unfailing wit under the most serious of
countenances. He had applied to the
Western Railway company for four press
passes TO. Dieppe. and arrived at the gate

know whom you are addressing?' The
man tremblingly admitted that he did
not. That young gentleman. sir. is the

the price of a penny, with a substantial
reduction if you take it for one year"
As he clipped the ticket, that official
looked as though he had organized a cy-
clone and got in front of it.

form.
Notorious Sam Grice and a compan-
ion once effected their escape from the
corridor door, 1t was a clean job, very
cleverly worked out. One man reached
his hand through the bars and held
the lock securely while the other sawed
il through. The saw was smuggled into
the jail, which is a very easy perform
ance, not half the prisoners being
searched under their outside clothing
when incarcerated. Detective Sheets
once found seven Jail saws sewed in
a prisoners necktie and three others
in the crown of his hat.

recent attempts upon the lives of War

years ago a man by the name of Pfitzer
nearly succeeded in blowing several
souls into eternity by the use of dyna-

against his Drother-in-law, whose name
was Meyers, and placed a real Internal

knob, so that when the cellar door was
opened. the sand paper would ignite
the matches. the matches the powder,
and a terrific explosion would result.
Meyers escape was hair-raising. He
pulled the door open one day. but
luckily the string broke. Nevertheless.
the sand paper bore marks of having
passed over the matches. The break
ing of the string was all that prevented
the tragedy. Officer Shannon carried
