FUNK BECOMES FURIOUS.
The Condemned Murderer FierceIy
Attacks His Guards.

The Condemned Murderer FierceIy
Attacks His Guards.
Frank William Funk, who is under SEN
tence to be hanged on November 9 for the
murder of William Brooks, on June %,
1898, and who will be executed at the Dis
trict jail on the date scheduled, unless the
Supreme Court of the United States grants
a writ of certiorari which has been petit
toned for. has been deprived of his privi-
leges by Warden Harris. In fact he has
not enjoyed any privileges since Saturday
September 9 and all because of his vicious
temper. which has on more than one oc
casion asserted itself since his incarcera-
ton
Behind the mere denial of privileges to
Funk is a story OF a startling nature. The
story only leaked out today and is without
! precedent in the history of the jail Funk
attempted TO overthrow discipline and was
reprimanded. He became ugly and then
defiant and finally it was decided TO punish
him Funk then Jew into a rage, became
vicious just as he did the day he was pho
tographed for the rogues' gallery, and at
tempted to thrash four stout guards.
He welded a slop pail with telling eff
feet and was overcome with difficulty.
He was then given the most severe pun
ishment Inflicted al the jail He was
compelled to stand handcuffed to the
bars Of his cell loor until he cooled down
and became pe;itent. Later he recog-
nized his fool a-1iness and apologized
to Warden Harris and the Jail guards.
Still Funk is being disciplined, and Will
not be allowed any privileges until
Warden Harris is satisfied that his pris-
| oner will behave.
Funk's burst OF temper and the conse-
quent trouble with him was the result of
the refusal of Warden Harris to allow the
condemned man to eat gingerbread l.
appears that the father of Funk sent to
the jail for his son a quantity of fruit and
other delicacies including the ginger
| bread. The Jail physician decided that the
gingerbread was not a proper food for
a man in confinement and advised that it
not be given TO Funk.
When notified of this action the con-
demned man applied vile epithets to the
Warden. Warden Harris then ordered the
| guards to handcuff Funk and stand him
up at his cell door. Instantly Funk be-
| came fiendish and grasping his slop pail
emptied it over the advancing guards. The
pail contained a solution of carbolic acid,
used as a disinfectant, and the corrosive
poison burned into the faces of the
guards and stained their clothes.
After emptying the pail Funk brought it
down on the head of the foremost guard
almost flooring him. The other guards
then rushed upon the infuriated man and a
| struggle of several minutes duration fol-
| lowed. Finally after Funk had been
| thrown to the ground and forced to release
| his hold on the slop pail he was hand
cuffed and made to stand up at his door.
| There he was kept as an example and as
punishment for some time.

NEW YORK. Sept 21.-The Stock Mar
kot opened comparatively quiet today in
view of yesterdays exciting dealings and
heavy decline and small and irregular
changes resulted from the early dealings.
There was no particular change in the
outside conditions which engaged a, ,ention
yesterday, although it was generally con-
sidered that the prospects were a shade
mere favorable for an early settlement OF
the labor difficulties in the anthracite coal
regions.
Another circumstance that carried some
weight in the market was the improve
ment shown in the London quotations for
American stocks, the whole London market
rising on the collapse of the South African
war and the improving outlook in China
The early dealings developed no features
of particular interest
