April 1.

The workhouse may get cheated out of

formation which 7 h e C o b e received
yesterday afternoon is correct. The story
was received first-hand, and not, as is
usually the case, handed down three or
four times and enlarged or det acted

The story comes from Fred Briggs him.
self. He, as is well known, was found
guilty OF operating, in a measure, nickel
Iu-the-slot machines in Minneapolis, con-
trary to law, and was sentenced by the
district court to serve six months in the
Workhouse, together with a fine of $500.
The case was appealed to the supreme
court, and the judgment of the lower
court was sustained. This decision was
rendered last Thursday and if former
ethics of the court had been carried out,
Briggs would now be doing time.
Instead of doing time at all, he may
be pardoned by the state board of par
dOns, and If what he says is true, he
stands a very good chance of getting
frye, with only the fine to pay Briggs

friends, and, indeed. that ne was insane.
In February the prisoners counsel ap-.
piled for a writ of habeas corpus to in
qu1re into his mental condition, but the
application was refused. On the 18th day
of April the case came on trial before the
same judge who had committed him, and
was disposed of in a single day. On this
day Lawrence was not as Indifferent as
he was when he was committed to prison.
He was as uncomfortable and self-as-
sertive as Guiteau nearly fifty years
later, without, however, the vulgar
vituperation of that criminal. He de-
CARED he was the king of Britain and of
this country also, and demanded to know
by what right he was brought here. He
declared that the president had caused
his lack of occupation, and he believed to
put him out Of the way was the only
remedy of the evil. In other ways he
showed himself evidently insane, and the
jury in five minutes returned verdict
of not guilty, on that ground.
He was, however, confined in an asylum
during his life. The escape of jackson,
seemingly miraculous, made a profound
impression on the public mind.

pardons as to whether Briggs has been
prosecuted or prosecuted. 1t is claimed
by Briggs that there are. many otnerS
who are equally guilty as he OF the crime
OF which he has been convicted, allowed
to go free, with but the penalty OF hne
inflicted and no Workhouse sentence has
been given to any of them.
If these facts be true, Briggs thinks
that he stands a very good show of Sc
curing a pardon. at least he says the
governor will sift the case to the bot
tom and will endeayor to have decision
rendered accordingly on the merits OF
what he finds.
T h e G o was shown many letters
addressed to the board of pafdons from
reputable business men in Minneapolis,
asking them to consider fayorably the
application of pardon for one Fred
workhouse for six months for operating
gambling machines. as it was their can
did opinion that Briggs was being per-
secuted and should not be remanded to
Jail for a crime which others in the city
were allowed to go free on with but the
payment of a fine. There is no doubt
but that what these letters will carry
considerable weight when the board CT
pardons are considering the matter.
Briggs certainly is making a strong
fight for his freedom and is getting to-
ether all the evidence at his command TO
endeaVor to show that there is some spite
work and strong pressure brought to bear
on his conviction. He saws that he IS
perfectly willing to pay the penalty of
his crime, but he}believes that he should
receive the same consideration that has
been given to Others.

How the Devil Looks.

The latest phase of the discussion of
the devil is not an attack upon the devil s
definite existence, but a defense of his
ccmeliness. The popular idea of the
devil, with cloven feet, forked tail, and
leering countenance, does not seem to be
borne out by scriptural description, The
Rev. DR.. j. B. Mack, distinguished
Presbyterian clergyman of South Caro-

is demeaning enough. without detracting
