FRANK BURKMAN's PARDON.
why He Killed the Captain ana mate

Why He Killed the Captain ana mate.
For the first time in twenty years
Frank Burkman breathed the air of
free man yesterday He has seen the
bIue skies and sunshine in all that fifth
of century only through the bars of
county jail and state penitentiary.
In 1882 Burkman was received at the
penitentiary from Essex county to serve
thirty-six years for double manslaugh-
ter. He was then boy about seventeen
wears of age He had spent two years
of his life in the iails of King George
and Essex counties. His case has ex-
cited the attention and sympathy of
many prominent people of Virginia and
Maryland. The prison officials know
ing the fine record which the prisoner
has made since he donned the garb of
a convict, have earnestly longed for the
time when he could be set free.
Burkman's story is a most unusual
one. 1t reads like piece of sensation
al fiction. He is a native of Baltimore.
His father died when he was six years
of age. His mother married again.
The new father did not make the boys
home life happy. When he was sixteen
years old Frank ran away. He sought
and obtained service on an oyster pun
gy in Chesapeake bay. He had often
dreamed of going to sea, and it seemed
that his new employment opened to
him the life which he had longed.
1t took but few days for the boy to
learn that the life of sailor was not
anything like that which he had pic
tured He had dreamed Of the freedom
of life on the seas. He found 1t a slav-
cry more degrading than an African
ever knew Captain Edwards, accord
ing to all the testimony, was a tyrant.
But he was white. The mate of the
pungy was a tyrant of a worse type
than the captain, and he was a negro.
The boys life seemed to have been
more dreadful than words can easily
picture. Captain Edwards treated him
as il he was bond slave. He made
him perform unspeakably mental du-
ties. The captain had his limitations
as tyrant. The negro mate had none.
The daily morning journal and courier. [volume] (New Haven, Conn.) 1894-1907, 1900-12-01

He tvrannized over Burkman in a.
thousand ways, which to white man
seem nothing short Of fiendish.
After being out for some time the.
pungy was cruising off King George.
county The limit of tyranny was
reached by the white captain and the
negro mate. The boy got hold OF tha1
| captains revolver. When he had fin
ished using it both white and black ty.'
rant were dead,
The pungy was worked back to Balti-
more. Burkman gave himself up to the
Maryland authorities. He was brought
back to King George county for trial.
-Four, possibly five, trials were given
him in King George courts. Then al
change Of venue was obtained to the
county court of Essex. The final trial
in the tribunal resulted in sentences
of thirty-six years-eighteen years for
the killing of each man. 1t was two
years from the time Burkman gave
himself UP until he was put in stripes
behind the HAIRS Of the Virginia penis
tertiary, in 1882.
There be has been ever since--a pa
tent, docile, good-natured prisoner,
obedienr to every regulation His moth
Ell and his brother live in Baltimore
They have longed for the release OF
Frank, but there seemed no hope,
Prison officials who knew of the good
character he has borne since he entered
the institution have been scarcely les9
DESTROYS of seeing him free.
Burkman's brother is in business in
Baltimore. Associated with him is d
young man from Richmond. Young
Burkman told the tragedy Of his broth-
er's lie to the Richmond man. Tho
Richmonder became deeply interested.
He knew of the conditional pardon law
enacted by the General Assembly two
years ago. He interested an influential
gentleman of this city in the case.
The application for pardon was mades
Among those who signed 1t was former
Congressman Croxton of Essex county,
who prosecuted the case against Burk-
man. Hon. Jack Mason, now Judge Of
the circuit court of King George and
Judge Keeling, who recently died iii
Norfolk, We're also prosecutors at vari-
Gus trials Of Burkman's.
Governor Tyler examined the papers
yesterday. He very soon reached the
that Burkman should be-
granted conditional pardon, and an
order for his release was made out
AT four o'clock yesterday afternoon
the order reached the prison. The offi-
cials were overjoyed. Brakeman was
quickly summoned. He was told to-
prepare to leave the prison at once
that he was free. He did not show any
great joy at the news. Men who have
spent twenty years Of a short life be-
hind the walls of prison are not sensi-
tive Besides, Burkman's health Isl hi
gone forever. DR.. Darlington the peni-
tertiary surgeon, says he could live
only & short time if kept in confines
ment. He is a physical wreck.
Burkman spent last night in Rich
mond He will go to Baltimore to-day,
to the mother who has waited so many
years for his coming.-Richmond Dis

BABIES AND BACHELORS.

France Proposes to Tax Unmarried
Males and to Give Bounties for Chill
dren.
The revival of the old proposal for the
taxation of bachelors and spinsters in
France, with the addition of a plan for
the assessment of married couples
who, after five years of Wedlock, have
no children, is giving rise to much dis
cusslon, both serious and faeetious.
The caricaturists are already busy with
the matter, and show very elderly ma
irons trying to obfuscate the tax COL
lectors as to the ages of faded unmar-
ried daughters well on the way to fifty.
On the other hand some reflective ner-
sons see great things in the bill, which
was laid on the table of the senate last
week by M. Plot, who represents the
Cote-d'Or in the upper house M. Plot
is animated by the patriotic desire to
check the depopulation of France.
which has of late years assumed alarm
ing proportions,
To provide a remedy for this state of

how a man can pay five thousand dol
lars for dog, as Mr.. Croker did for
Rodney Stone, the famous French bull
dog. They have heard, however, that
this strange American commands
boundless revenues, and so after few
head shakings they become willing to
believe every story concerning his ex-
travagences. Besides Rodney Stone,
Mr.. Croker owns another equally re-
markable French bulldog Bromley

senger, on hearing that Rodney Stone
was among the first-class cabin pas

CROKER IN ENGLAND.
The Vantage Folks Think Him Plu-
tOcrat

tocrat.
Richard Croker in England is gene
rally considered by Englishmen as a
man of large wealth. They see him
with his stable of horses, with pup
pies worth five thousand dollars apiece,
and with a hundred and one other
things that evidence a vast amount of
pin money Few ask any questions as
to how he obtained his wealth. Some
wag once started a story that Mr.. Gro
ker had a gold mine in Central Park,
which was operated by trust compa-
ny called Tammany Hall, of which he
was the head and chief stakeholder.
The way the story received credence
showed only too well how perfectly it
appeared to explain Mr.. Cookers ex-
penditures.
In a recent article in the English Pc
riodical "Black and White" the home
life of Richard Croker is graphically
portrayed at the old Moat House, which
he owns, at Letcombe, near Vantage,
Berkshire The place is made beauti-
full by the most artistic gardening, and
has all the quiet and quaintness of a
medieval manor. AS suggested by its
name the house Is surrounded by a
moat which still further increases it's
seclusion. It's rooms are large and airy
and furnished in a conservative but
costly style. There Is a billiard room,
where the politician often invites pro-
fessional players to jousts of skill
In his drawing room there is an cleo
~l,4 IT,, t.,
which. Mr.. Croker often finds relief
from sleeplessness. He has a switch
board by his bed, and should, on retlr-
ing, his mind become distracted by
such thoughts as the ice trust or the
vice committee, he need only stretch
out an arm to the switch board and
turn on the electricity Under the
strains of some + agtime lullaby the
chieftain of Tammany Hall soon for
gets the old adage that often haunts
him, Uneasy lies the head that wears
a crown"
But it is his stables and his kennels
In which he takes the most delight
Mr.. Croker purchases OF horses have
become the talk of the little village,
and will doubtless form a large bulk of
the Evolutionary lore of the place in the
centuries to come. Mr.. Croker has the
reputation of buying whatever he
wants, regardless of price. If he buys,
for example, a horse that does not suit
him. he sells it Immediately at whatev-
er price it will bring.
"When Mr. Croker brought his horses
to Letcombe," continues the writer in
'Black and White "he put them in
charge of an English trainer, but the
results were not satisfactory, so he sent
over to America for Wishard, an Amer
lean trainer of repute, and transferred
to him the care of the horses. All
Vantage remembers how Wishe~a end
