Still Undismayed.

Encouraged possibly by the very le-
nient treatment he has received when
ever he has been brought before the court,
Thomas Carey, of Mount Laurel gives
an exhibition of his 'quiet nature" as de-
scribed by the lawyer who spoke so earn
estly and effectively before the court a
week or two since.
Carey is now under bonds to appear be-
fore the court for larceny of poultry from
a neighbor His latest exploit was to go
into the store of William P. Lippincott,
of Hartford, and abuse the proprietor.
The telephone exchange is in the store
and Carey used the telephone. When he
had finished Mr. Lippincott asked for the
toll of ten cents which is charged all for
the service Carey refused to pay it, and
Mr. Lippincott said he must as everybody
was charged that sum. This aroused
Carey and the usually quiet and peace
full nature was disturbed The abuse he
showered upon Mr.. Lippincott and the
epithets he applied were said to be very
vile
If Carey is brought before the court
again it would not be amiss for the Pros
ecutor to have some data on hand, in or
der that the Judge may know the kind of
man who is before him. A very little in
quiry in the neighborhood where this fell
low lives will probably reveal considera-
BILE. The affair which brought him be-
fore the court the last time was said by
Carey's counsel to be trivial" but it was
an assault upon an officer who was trying
to serve warrant for another charge OF
assault upon a man and his wife who de-
manded pay for goods the fellow insisted
on carrying from their store.

Charles RrolDn Dies on the GaIIops.
HE MAKES DESPERATE EFFORT TO ESCAPE

Charles Brown, one of the murderers OF
Washington Hunter, forfeited his life this
morning as penalty for his participation
in the crime Before the hanging took
place, however, there were some sensa-
tional scenes.
MAKES DASH FOR LIBERTY.
At go this morning Brown made a
desperate effort to escape from Jail. Those
who had gathered there were startled by a
cry resounding through the corridors
Here comes Brown look out p
1t was then ascertained that the prison er
was trying to escape.
Rev Mr. Deissinger, who was Browns
spiritual adviser went to the condemned
mans cell shortly after nine o'clock
After prayers by the minister, Brown
asked that he be left alone for few min
utes, and the clergyman retired.
At this iuncture Brown rushed through
the open cell door, holding in his hand a
piece of lead pipe that he had secured
secretly from the plumbing in his CELL He
cut it last night with spoon as his only
tool.
The prisoner made savage stfike at
Constable Jesse Woodruff one of the
guards. The latter lodged the blow but
was cut on the hand.
Brown speedily passed George W. A.

Report on Causes of Tetanus.

A special committee of the Camden
Board of Health, appointed to investigate
the cause of tetanus (lockjaw) in Camden,
reported that not a single case resulted
from the vaccine virus used. The infec-
ton of tetanus resulted from neglect on
the part of the patients to present them
selves to the attending physicians, so that
their vaccination could receive proper at
tention"
The report further states that ''indis-
putable evidence of the fact that the teta-
nus germs were not introduced at the
time of vaccination is that acute tetanus
occurs in from five to nine days after She
introduction of the germs, whereas, in
every case acute tetanus occurred in from
two to four weeks after vaccination. If
the virus had been contaminated, tetanus
would have ensued within nine days after
vaccination.
THE tetanus cases in Camden are to be
explained by the atmospheric and telluric
conditions which have prevailed in Cam
den during the past six weeks. There
has been a long period of dry weather,
with high winds, so that tetanus germs,
which have their normal habitat in the
earth, dust, dirt of stables, ETC., have been
constantly distributed in the atmosphere.
1t is noticeable in all cases, after careful
examination as to the cause, that it was
due to lack of care; the wound had been
exposed by the scab being knocked off OF
removed, or else the arm had been injured,
and infection resulted. frequently chill
dren scratch the vaccinated area with
their dirty fingers and nails, and infect
the wound.
THAT vaccination should be regarded
as surgical operation, and should be per
formed in an aseptic or clean manner, and
in every instance the physician should be
consulted for advice if any unusual in
flammation should develop.
1T is the unanimous opinion of the
Board of Health as well as their commit
tee of experts, that inasmuch as VAGINA
ton is harmless, it should be insisted up
on by physicians as an absolutely neces-
sary procedure for the prevention of
smallpox Tetanus or any other infec-
ton can never occur if the vaccination is
properly protected from contact with the
atmosphere or with soiled clothing, ban
dages, etc. "

rently had no use for anyone. He spent
his time in reading and walking his cell
in that same characteristic manner which
enabled Mrs Hunter to positively identify
him at the trial.
No parents were at the jail to take a
last look at Brown, and with the dawn of
the setting sun the light of his life be-
gan to fade, because it was his last night
on earth. During the long and dreary
vigil of the night the death watch saw
him toss restlessly on his cot, unable to
sleep or to secure rest.
Brown was awake early this morning
and ate plentifully of tempting break
fast, which was supplied from the Wash
ington House. He had put on new suit
of black clothes, which served as his bur
ial shroud.
Under the new criminal statute no death
warrant is required to be read to the
prisoner, so this act was omitted in this
mornings proceedings.
At 10 o'clock Brown was ordered from
his cell He was attended by Jesse
Woodruff and Marshal Abram Austin
The convict was led down stairs through
the office and out into the yard. He
was affected as he came face to face
with the death instrument only gancing
at the same as he assembled its thirteen
fatal steps.
Undertaken Morris H. Keller will take
the remains to New Lisbon this afternoon
and bury them in the cemetery connected
with the county poor house.
The following gentlemen were present
by special invitations: Samuel
T. Atchley, Sheriff of Mercer coun
ty; DR.. Irvine, physician at Sing Sing
prison; George Virtue, of Essex county.

W. Lewis, Charles B. Chew, Edwin S.
Buzby, Charles Joyce, Charles s. Par
sons, Joseph r. Stiles, Thomas L. Assay,
William E. Hires, George Heisler, Harry
Carter, Thomas Hood and Daniel Evan.
The court Jury was composed of the

HISTORY OF THE CRIME.
The crime which cost the aged and
well TODD farmer his life was planned in
a saloon, a resort of desperadoes, on the
Bowery in New York city, where Keller,
one of the accomplices, was employed as
a dishwasher. John Young was a laborer,

the steps, causing great commotion among
those who had peen summoned to attend
the execution. Some of them were
greatly alarmed and there was consider
able confusion. The officers in attendance
pressed forward, but before they reached
Brown he had gone down stairs and passed
through the kitchen into the Jail yard
There the high walls prevented him from
escaping to the street. In his flight to the
yard he had picked up an axe. He at
once took shelter behind the out buildings
in the ward, and with the uplifted axe
threatened to kill any one who came near
him.
A large number of men armed with re-
volvers went out to capture Brown, and
with drawn pistols posse soon surrounded
him and he was soon seized and securely
handcuffed. The Infatuated man was
hustled back to his cell, where he was
strongly guarded until hanged
THE EXECUTION.
Extraordinary efforts were made to pre-
vent further trouble. The prisoner was
not allowed the remotest chance to again
cause CONSERVATION, but he quieted down
and took the matter philosophically. He
walked firmly to the scaffold, showing no
emotion.
Sheriff Fenton placed his man in po-
sition, adjusted the moose about his
neck, resting the huge knot back of the
left ear, and the black cap shut out the
light of day as the process of strapping
his feet together was being completed,
his hands already having been cutfed be-
hind him. At 1910 the sheriff pulled
bolt holding both doors, and they drop
ped on air cushions without making
noise Everything was as still as death
Some of the spectators had turned their
faces from the dreadful sight, but those
who kept their eyes on the scene could
scarcely trace the body, so rapidly did 1t
shoot through the opening. 1t was like
the work of electricity. One Of the MUIR
derers of Washington Hunter had paid
the full penalty for his crime. The
mandates of the law had been successful
" complied with and there was general
relief
The body swayed to and fro. Muscu-
lar contractions caused some movements,

Young and Brown have been dreading
their approaching doom. Young became
repentant and characterization. He was
buoyed up with the hope that the Board
of Pardons would interfere to the extent
of saving his neck, and in his efforts to
forget some of the awful details of the
crime, he brought to his assistance his
skill with the pencil, and employed his
time in sketching pictures When in
formed that nothing would be done in his
behalf, he was in better spiritual shape to
meet his fate than was Brown, who
spurned religious consolation and appa-

check on the day Of the murder. Jenkins
puzzled the Philadelphia authorities by
| the many conflicting stories he told OF his
! whereabouts on the night of January 25
He insisted, however, that he had shot
himself. and nothing could make him
break this statement The bullet was eX-
tracted from his leg and found to be of
the same calibre as the one used by Hun
ter. The moose was rapidly Tightening
about the young mans neck, when, like
bomb, came the announcement that he
had successfully proven an alibi. A man
had seen him shoot himself and in the
same place Jenkins had stated. He was
at once released from custody.
Many and frequent were the anonymous
communications received by Prosecutor
Atkinson telling him where to find the
fugitives Each was run down with no
result. Finally a letter was brought to
his attention describing a man named
Riverside Dutch" as a character who
was well acquainted with Hunter and who
had worked for him in time past. This
description was sent broadcast over the
country. Reaching the eyes of Capt.
George F. Titus, chief of the New York
city detective bureau, it was Immediately
recognized as that of one of the toughest
citizens on the Bowery. Detailing two of
his men on the case they soon returned,
having in custody John Young, alias
Riverside Dutch, " and Otto Keller.
When put through an examination
Keller confessed to the crime, Young
breaking in with chats right. Neither
of the men acknowledged their direct
guilt in the murder, stating that Charles
Brown and Charles Miller were the active
participants, Young and Keller remain
ing outside as watchers. At the time of
this arrest Brown was then in Sing Sing
prison for burglary. He had bullet
wound in his leg but denied that he had
any connection with the crime. He was
serving sentence of three years After
the conviction of Young, Governor Odell
pardoned Brown so that he could be
brought to this state and tried.
Keller. in discussing the crime, said he
and the other three men had met for a
talk in a Bowery saloon and there the
robbery was proposed. Brown had an
other place in view, but Young, who had
worked for Hunter, insisted that they go
there, stating that "the old man always
had bunch of money in the house They
arrived in Riverside about II o'clock. |
Young directed them the way to the Hun
ter home, but kept in the back ground as
much as possible for fear of being recog-
nzed.
In a conversation with Young he &C
knowledged his guilt thus: Il didn't |
know they had assaulted Hunter until it |
was all over. l stayed outside with Kel |
Ter. They told me they wouldn't have
harmed the old man, but that he put up
such stiff fight they got warmed up and
banged him harder than they intended to.
