HANGED In Jersey City.

James K Brown, who murdered Pc.
liceman William Gebhardt in Hoboken
on July 26, 1898, was hanged in the
Hudson County Jail in Jersey City,
February 9th.
Brown recognized several persons
who were present and bade them good
bye. He seemed fully resigned to his
fate and presented an appearance of
composure, which was considered re-
markable. He said that he died with
out cherishing any enmity toward any
man, woman or child Once before,
when he was to have been hanged, he
obtained forgiveness from the wife
of the man he murdered. This fact
appeared to have been a graf comfort
to him. Brown saw his wife for the
last time on Wednesday. The part
ing was pathetic. Mrs. Brown visited
her husband every day for several
months. Brown had no friends who
visited him. The hanging was bun
gled and the drop fell at 1000 o'clock,
and it was 1921 o'clock before Brown
was pronounced dead. The moose was
badly adjusted and the man strangled
slowly to death. His neck was not

FROM REAL LIFE,
How a IS Year Old Girl Eloped With
A STRANGER.

Coy, bashful Lena Parsons, fifteen
years old, of Winsted, Conn, was
very quick to accept proposition and
to adopt a suggestion Charles Wright
made to her adopted mother the other
day. tu8s M .ff
"Yeur daughter is a beautiful girl"
said Wright to Mrs. Richard Parsons.

herF'
Il will not" answered Mrs. Parsons.
"Shes too young to marry"
"She only looks too young" urged
Wright, who is glib, for he sells pat
ent medicines. "She should not wear
nor wear her hair braided down her
back" a sfar.. ..sa,.s.s t...
Lena, intelligent girl, disappeared
then reappeared. Her dress hid her
feet; her hair was coiled atop her
shapely head
"How do l look now?" she blushing-
ly asked Wright. e1

ed.
And that very night Wright and
Lena eloped. The thoughtful girl took
all her dresses; they can be length
ened. incidentally $50 vanished from
Mrs. Parsons purse. Chief Wheeler
has notified the police of Connecticut,
Eastern New York and Southern Mas
sachusetts to head off the runaways.
Wright had been stopping with
Welles White, lumber merchant at
Colebrook. He hired Whites horse
and buggy, saying he would return
that night He did not get back. and
White started in search of him. White
drove up to Richard Parsons's house
at Sahdisfield
"Have you seen anything of fel-
lew selling patent medicinesY' asked
White ~'The strangers about twenty
seven years old, five feet, eight or
