when fourteen years old and went to
sea. After several years as a sailor he
was Shipwrecked on the coast of Chinas

took his clothing and turned the sailor
loose in the garb of nature. Finally he
reached a Chinese town.
Then he fell in with an Englishman
who gave him money for clothing on
condition that Gibbes would work out
of debt, and who informed him as soon
as the bargain was closed that he
would be expected to go into the camp
of rebel army to sell struggled arms.
The young Englishman never hesitated,

HANGING OF YOUNG CROSS


tSu1lllHuGu tlolIl Il llSl tSN'f
| Cross said he had been absent from
the house about ten minutes, when he
returned to find the woman In the con-
dition described. He said that just be-
fore he left the house she said she was
ia bout to retire He was arrested on
suspicion, and five days later confessed
/ to Deputy Sheriff Theodore Miller and
| to Detective Rogers Of the Plnkerton
| agency that he was the woman muir
| derer. The confession was written ny
| the detective and was signed by the
boy. Cross confessed that he laid IN
wait for the woman as she was about
to retire; that he threw her down, beat
ing her head against the floor until she
was unconscious. He then tore off her
clothing and otherwise maltreated her.
and left the body upon the bed.
A strong fight was made at the trial
to prevent the admission of this confess
sion as evidence, 1t was admitted, and
then the defense endeavored to show
that the boy was insane Numerous
expert witnesses Were examined ana
relatives of the boy testified in support
of the theory that he was in his right
mind
The history of the Cross family as
related by the boys grandmother ana
uncle. was depended upon to sustain
the heory that the youth was moral
degenerate. 1t was stated thai ms

The personal history of Cross, as told
by his grandmother and other relatives,
showed Him to be a liar and thief from
childhood, addicted to immoral habits,
and a cigarette fiend. They claimed
tnat when a child he delighted in the
torture of insects He was cowardly
subject to decisions and walked in his
sleep. Once he had been hit upon the
head by a baseball bat.
A jury In the superior court at
Bridgeport, March T. found Cross gull
IS of murder in the first degree. He
was sentenced to be hanged July 90
His counsel at once took an appeal to
the supreme court of errors one of the
principal grounds of appeal being the
admission of the confession made by
Cross to the detective. The defense
claimed that Cross was not given an
opportunity to obtain counsel, but that
he was held prisoner in the deputy
sheriff's office, until the confession was
wormed out of him. The supreme court
found no error though it did rebuke
the action of the deputy sheriff in hold
ing the boy a prisoner without giving
him an opportunity for a speedy hear
ing and for not allowing counsel i'm
mediate access to him.
The recent unsuccessful efforts to get
a pardon for Cross are fresh in the
minds Of many.
