One of the Most Curious Buildings
Erected In the Universe.
1t is reported in New York that the
famous spite" house erected several
years ago by man named Richard
son is to be offered for sale, together
with its furniture and interior decora-
tons. There is not in the whole world
a stranger house than this one, nor any
that has a more curious history. The
man who built the house out OF spite
is now dead, but his name still clings
to the place, and it is unlikely that 1t
will ever be known by any other name
than the Richardson Spite House"
Richardson was a millionaire and he
was also miser. He began
life as q bricklayer, economical
and saved money. In time his
savings we're invested in houses
and land. The land upon which
Richardson built his spite house" was
the property of his wife. 1t was an alb
surd little strip OF land extending lO4
feet along Lexington avenue and only
FIVE feet on the side street. Eighteen
years ago one Heyman Sarner, cloth

SEVEN TINES SAVED
REMARKABLE APPEALS TO PRoLoNd
MURDERER'S LIFE

This appeal failed. Appeal No. was
an application for a writ of habebae
corpus on the ground that the verdict
of the jury was guilty, as proved"
and as the presentment was murder
in the first, second, third and fourth
degrees, Nordstrom could not be held
for more than the lowest degree. This
adroit plea was Intellectual, but it
served its purpose of adding another
IL months to the prisoners life.
Appeal No. was taken on the
ground that Nordstrom was Swedish
citizen and, therefore, entitled to a
trial before a grand jury. Lewis Sc
cured stay of execution, but the Su-
preme court, after another IL months
deliberation, took the stand that this
appeal might be made by the Swedish
government with hope of success,
though not by the prisoners counsel.
insanity Plead.
Appeal No. was a declaration that
the prisoner had become insane and
therefore could not legally be put to
death. A delegation of physicians was
sent by the state to examine Nord-
strom, and they pronounced him sane.
BY this time the local court had be-
come angered at the devices of Lewis
and ordered Nordstrom to be hanged
in 10 days.
Appeal No. was put forward on
the ground that the prisoners sanity
should have been decided by jury.
Lewis rushed across the continent to
Narragansett pier and obtained stay
of execution from Justice McKenna.
This put the whole matter back to
the Supreme court and gave another
year and half of life to the muir
derer.
Appeal No. was made to the Unit
ed States Circuit court, Lewis main
tanning that the prisoner should be
discharged because a review had been
denied him by the State Supreme

Seattle letter.

Seven times tried for murder seven
times sentenced and seven times
saved; 10 years in the shadow of the
death as ever, is the record OF Charles
w. Nordstrom, who is now confined
in the Jail at Settle, Wash, still with
the sentence of hanging resting on
him. In 1891 Nordstrom was tried for
the murder of william Mason and con-
victed on circumstantial evidence. His
lawyer, ex-Congressman James Hamil
ton Lewis, at once inaugurated a Sc
ries of appeals which up to the pres
ent time have put barrier between
Nordstrom and the fate to which he
had been sentenced.
Nordstrom's Crime.
The crime of which Nordstrom is
charged took place in the fall of 1891
at the farm Of William Mason, at th2
summit of Cedar mountain. A DIS
pute over wages had angered Mud
strom at his employer and he had
threatened him, saying that he would
kill old man Mason. A few days
later he went to Seattle and bought a
Winchester rife. Three nights later
William Mason, while sitting near the
window in the d'nng room, was shot
A shot was hearo OUTSIDE and the en-
tire family hurried out in search of
the assassin. No one was in sight
nut boot tracks showed that the muir
derer had come close to the window.
The night was too dark for the pur-
suers to see any great distance, but
all night long they could see the light
burning in Nordstrom's cabin. The
next day his house was found to be
empty. Then all the neighbors Joined
in the hunt. At last two deputy sher-
ifs saw Nordstrom walking along the
railroad track near Gilman, with his
rife over his shoulder on his way
North to Canada.
The deputies, concealing their weap-
ons, waited for him and engaged him
in conversation. Then suddenly seiz-
ing his rife, they made him their pris-
oner after a severe struggle. He was
taken to Kings county Jail and in De-
cember tried and convicted of the
murder of Mason.
A Long Legal Fight.
Then came the long fight Of his
lawyer, Ham" Lewis for his life. APP
peal No. / was made on the ground
that the prisoner had been made to
incriminate himself. Nordst'om hav-
ing been compelled by the court to

The Chattanooga Times makes this
good point as to sectionalism: "The
present cabinet is drawn entirely from
territory that lies north of the Mason
Dixon line and east of the Missouri
river. The members are located as
follows: Ohio, one, Secretary Hay !;
Illinois, one, Secretary Gage; New
York, one, Secretary Root; Pennsyl-
vania, two, Postmaster General Smith
and Attorney General Knox; Massa-
chusetts, one, Secretary Long: Mis-
souri,, one, Secretary Hitchcock /;
Iowa, one, Secretary Wilson. The
country south of the Ohio and Poto-
mac, the southwest. the great north
west and the Pacific States, are with
out representation. Not only is this
true now, but it has essentially been
true ever since 1861, with some minor
exceptions during Cleveland's eight
years. He had four southerners,
Lamar and Hoke Smith as secretaries
of the interior, Garland as attorney
general, and Herbert as secretary of
the navy. William L. Wilson served
the fraction of term as postmaster
general.
