THE PLOT FAILED.
Bold Attempt to Release Train Robbers
From Jail.

Kansas City, Mo-, April PA dis
patch to the Journal from Springfield.
Mo-, says: "A bold attempt was made
here tonight to release from the county
Jail Jack Kennedy, Bill Ryan and Bill
Sheppard, who are held here pending
trial for the recent train robbery on
the Kansas City, Fort Scott & Mem
phis road, near Macomb. Mo.
Just before 10 o'clock an unusual
racket in the stables in the rear of the
Jail caused Deputy Sheriff Lamb and
Tailor Hooper to run out to the stables.
Finding nothing amiss, both returned
to the JAIL and as they entered the
outer office both were covered with
guns, in the hands of the men. The
officers showed fight, however, and af-
ter a sharp struggle put one of their
assailants to flight and captured the
other. The man captured proved to be
Charles Barnett, alias James Hennes-
sy, burglar, who was released from
Jail to-day. He confessed that it was
the intention to overpower the jailor
and release Kennedy, Ryan and Shep-
pard, and that the plot had been hatch
ed in Jail before his release. They had
planned, however, on having only one
officer to overpower'

Stomachs Mixed Up.

st. Louis. April Ex-Governor
Stephens of Missouri has been request
ed by Eph Houston to commute the
death sentence of Thomas Shackleford,
who is now in the city Jail. Houston
was an attendant at the morgue at
the time Taylors body was brought
there and the doctor who held the post
mortem examination gave him the
stomach of the dead man to set aside.
Soon after a dead man was brought to
the morgue. There was some doubt as
to how he came to die and on the doc
tors order his stomach was also put
aside. Houston says he believes he got
the stomachs mixed. Shackleford was
convicted of murder in the first degree
on the evidence adduced from the stom-
ach which was kept by Houston for the
court.

~ HE Communication by President
Mckinley Of the sentences of
three Pittsburg volunteers who
became deserters has developed the
fact that the military prison at st. Au-
gustine contained at different times
during the winter more than one hun
dred soldiers who ran away from the
army. The Philadelphia Inquirer says
that doubtless there are some thin
skinned persons who believe that this
issue should be closed, but they are
mistaken in that notion. Aside from
the fact that the public has a right to
know how many deserters there really
were, a patriotic regard for the preser-
walton of disciple in the army makes
it necessary that desertion should be
made as shameful as possible But
there is another reason why we should
have all the facts, for we are confident
that they will show a very small per-
centage of deserters, and practically
none where the men We're actually en-
gagged in warfare.

his home, in the factory, out in the oil
fields or on the street. He holds pres
ent conditions and the legislative and
| competitive systems responsible for the
existing poverty among thousands of
the people. While Mr.. Jones is one of
the most law-abiding citizens in the
world. still he believes no law should
be enforced that public sentiment is
against, for the reason that such a law
does not represent the will of the peo-
pie. He believes the time is almost
at hand when the people will no longer
look to the statute books for the laws
to govern them, but to the golden rule
and the true brotherhood of man.
Mr.. Jones believes there would be lit
tie need for prisons, jals and peniten-
tiaries if the social conditions We're so
arranged that all persons would have
an equal chance in the race of life. He
also believes that nearly all the asylums
and charitable institutions of the coun-
try would be closed up if equal oppor-
tunities We're afforded to all to make
a living. He adheres to the theory that
the human family is really good and in
dustrious, and that it is the bad So
cial system that makes men and wom-
en- bad, vicious and lazy. The injustice
of the system, he claims. makes them
criminals and the helplessness of their
condition makes them lose all ambi-
ton, and they become Indifferent and
lazy.
Jones does not believe that harsh pun
ishment will ever abate crime He be-
lieves kindness and a little gentle ad-
vice will reclaim to the honest walks
of life the most confirmed criminal.
He believes there is no one so low but
who is worth saving. He points with
pride to such instances as that of John
B. Cough, who was pulled out of the
gutter in drunken stupor, and after
ward became the greatest temperance
lecturer of the world. He says the rich
hypocrites who occupy the front pews
in the churches on Sundays are great
er menace to society than the poor
drunkard. Some months ago the Min
listers Union of Toledo summoned May
not raided the Illegal houses The may
or listened to them, and then said
Reverend sirs, if I drive those women
out OF the city, what provision have
you made to take care of them when
they get beyond the confines of the
city? You give me assurance that
those unfortunate women will be kept
from starving and freezing and I will
clear the city Of them in twenty-four
hours The ministers evaded answer
ing Mr.. Jones question about providing
for the unfortunate women, but spoke
of the morality of the city. Mr.. Jones
hurled scripture back at them by quot
ing Christ as saying that the impure
women and publcans even would find
their way to heaven while the phari-
asical ministers would go to the other
place. He told them there was no re-
ligion nor Christianity in the heart of
any man, set of men or church who
could find in their hypocritical hearts
a feeling that dictated turning Gods
creatures out on the road to starve or
freeze. The ministers were glad to get
Jones off their hands. ,.Mf't i..~

WOULDN'T TALK.
Governor Gage Wants to Know How the
Idea Would Take.

Idea Would Take.
Los Angeles, April Ex-Governor
Gage was seen at his place to-day, but
he absolutely refused to discuss mat
ters of an official nature. The governor
refused to affirm or deny the report
that he had appointed Colonel Daniel
NJ. Burns United States senator, and
stated upon being pressed for an an
swer to a direct question regarding the
alleged appointment that he had made
an iron-clad resolution to refrain from
discussing affairs Of state while at
home.
From a private but reliable source
it was learned that Governor Gage,
while crossing the ferry from San Fran
cisco. purposely mentioned within the
hearing of a well known political writ
er employed on San Francisco morn
ing paper. that he would emulate the
example of Governor Stone of Penn
sylvania and appoint Burns senator.
The remark it is stated, was made
for the purpose of causing newspaper
comment, in order that the governor
might get an idea how such an appoint
ment would be received.

Savannah, Ga, April 24-The press

Sam Hose at Newman. The Morning
News says:
THE lynchng will send thrill of
horror through the entire country. The
method of it was in keeping with the
spirit of a savage rather than a civilized
and Christian community. 1t provokes
a spirit that is likely to lead to other
crimes
The Press says:
THE affair will undo the work that
the friends of the state have been doing
for years. 1t will dissipate and scatter
to the winds the efforts that have been
patiently making to show that Georgia
offers to the homeseeker the model
abode in state where nature. art and

welcome"
