years. He was afterward pastor of
church in Mysox Penn. The last years

JOHN ID. COCHRAN.

at Evansville, had received a letter
written by him on the day before the
supposed murder, saying that he was
about to depart from the world of NOR
tails to dwell with his Heavenly Father,
adding that his body would be found
exactly where 1t was found. Singular
ly enough, though no pains were taken
to conceal the existence of this letter.
Cochran's counsel never heard Of it.
When Cochran's friends learned about
it they lost no time in laying the case
before Governor Fifer, and he par
doned the imprisoned man without de-
lay.

arrested and tried. Katt was the chief
witness for the prosecution, and he
swore to Baxwell's threat of murder.
Katt's testimony was reinforced by
other testimony that loud cries had
been heard from q cave near the Bax-
well house on the day of the girls

torn pieces Of her clothing, with lock
Of her hair, clotted with blood, were
found in the cave. The verdict was
guilty" despite Baxwell's protest OF
innocence. On the day set for his
execution Katt was among the speota-
tors. AS Baxwell assembled the scat
fold he called Katt to him, and, extend
ing his hand, declared that he forgave
the young man for swearing his life
away. Immediately Katt became ex-
cited, and, just as the drop was about
to fall, sprang forward with a wild
cry. Stop" he called. "Baxweli Is
innocent. am the only guilty man
here!" This prevented the execution
and the officials rushed to the aid OF
Baxwell. He had fallen in faint, ap-
parently, but in reality he was dead
from pure fright. Katt then explained
that the girl was alive and we'll, adding
that he had abducted and secreted her.

lock of hair and the pieces OF her
clothing had been planted" to cover
up the elopement, and out of revenge

locked up Katt, and the girl was sent

Russell Colvin was a farm laborer
who married the daughter of Barney
Boorn, at Manchester, VT, and for
years thereafter lived with the Boorn
family, which included two sons, Jesse
and Stephen. No love was lost be-
| tween the sons and the son-in-law, and
Colvin finally disappeared, after par
ticularly violent quarrel between the
| three.
From the first the Boorn brothers
were suspected of having made way
with Colvin, but it was years before
there was anything more than suspi-
cion. Then hat, recognized as Col
wins, was found. An old stump over
turned, disclosed the skeleton Of a
man. 1t was remembered that the
Bcorn boys had boosted that they had
put Colvin where potatoes wouldn't
freeze. The result was the immediate
arrest of Jesse at the old place and a
state. In time he was found and
brought back. In spite of the lack Of
positive evidence the Boorns were be-
lieved by their neighbors to be guilty,
and this feeling ran SO high that their
parents were expelled from the church,
while the father was held as being
accessory to the murder. At the trial
Jesse testified that, although he had
taken no part in the murder, Stephen
had confessed it to him, and, to crown
all, evidently in the hope of lenient
treatment from the jury, Stephen
owned up on the stand, going into
minute particulars concerning the
bloody deed. Notwithstanding their
confessions, Jesse and Stephen were
sentenced to be hanged, whereupon
they changed front completely, pro-
tested innocence, and urged their coun-
sci to save them at all hazards.
The legislature committed Jesse's
would not interfere to save Stephen.
AS last resort Stephens lawyer, who
like every one else believed him guilty,
put an advertisement in the Rutland
CVt.) Herald setting forth the facts
and calling upon Colvin to declare him
self If still living. The advertisement
was copied in New York paper and
met the eye of Colvin himself, who
was alive and well at Dover, N. j.,
where he was employed by resident
farmer. He went to Manchester in
time to save Stephen Boorn from the
gallows, and then Jesse was released
from the penitentiary.

From the New York World: 1t is
through lack of information that the
vendetta is referred to today as an in
stitution of the past. Vendettas-
blood feuds-exist today not only in
Sicily, Sardinia and Corsica, but in
Kentucky and other of the southern
and western states, and also at times
in England, Ireland and France, Italy
and the east. 1t has happened recent
ly that an Albanian whose relative had
been killed by a Turkish vizier shot

partial exemplificatlon of the vendet-
ia. In Arabia the system is today in
full operation, fact which is so well
-snlnn<aod that offenses sufficient to
start train of killings are rarely COM
mitted, and a considerable degree OF
order is thereby preserved. AS it is
generally understood the vendetta
originated in the following practice:
An assassin was never allowed to es-
cape. The responsibility of punish
ment was assumed by the nearest
blood relations OF his victim. There
must be blood for blood. death fer a
