TOO MUCH TO STAND.

| One of the best stories Gensral Ar chic Williams ever drew from his rep ertory is told on himself. Many years | ago, when attorney general of Kan sas, Mir. Williams had occasion to make a trip 10 the east. He had no railroad passes east of the Mississippi river. so he borrowed an annual over an Illi- nois road from his old friend Jake Smith. It happened during the first stretch through Illinois that the con ductor on the train on which the Kan sas man rode was q former schoolmate of his. The conductor recognized Will jams. but Williams did not recognize the conductor. and about this fact the fun of the y.ory hangs.
 MT. Smith, said the conductor. after working his train and returning to have a chat with his passenger from Kansas. ''I see you are from Topeka: did you ever know a man out there by the name of Archie Williams?"
 'Yes. know him very well. rer sponded the pseudo smith. after strug- gling hard to steady his nerve and re- gain his composure. 'Yes. Williams Is considerable of a fellow out there. He's attorney general of the state"
 Who, Williams? Attorney general?" calculated the conductor. What kind of a people are they out there to elect a chucklehead like that for attorney general? Why. sir. I used to know Williams back here in Illinois-and of all the dundlepated himself and-fall- -all-over fellow you ever saw Williams was the worst. That man attorney general? Why. if you be- lieve me. Mir. Smith. he didn't know enough to wad a shotgun"

The opening of the Wadsworth- public during the month of August has proved very successful in the number and character of the visitors, and has contributed a goodly sum to the fund for its preservation. There has been great interest expressed in this old house. and a desire felt to be allowed to enter the boyhood and young manhood home of the Poet Longfellow, in the city of his birth. which over 1700 availed themselves of during th+ month There has been a universal expression of gratitude for the privi- lege. The visitors have been nearly all tourists from different parts of the country and the world. and have left encouraging words to those who have been in charge of the house for the final raising of sufficient funds for the pre- servation of the Portland home of Longfellow and his distinguished kins- men.
 The committee of the Maine His torical society. composed of some of the most widely known citiezns of the state. will soon send appeals for money for this worthy object to those who may be interested in keeping this old house, built in 17s5-S6, in a Longfellow memorial. for all time.

PHOENIX. ARIZONA. SEPT. 24. 1901.
The trial of the assassin Czolgosz for the murder of President Mckinley


 began in the supreme THE court at Buffalo yester- ASSASSIN day. The country will ON TRIAL take melancholy sat-
 isfaction in the kowl- edge that the tria! will be free from annoying exhibitions and performances , by cheap lawyers. that it will be con- ducted with dignity and with all the speed compatible with a proper ob- servance of ;he, forms of law, and that speedy conviction and execution will follow.
 Two Of the most eminent members of the Buffalo bar were selected by their brethren for the disagrseab.e task of defending the murderer. The prisoner of his own accord pleaded guilty" but as such a plea is not permissible in a capital case. his attorneys inter- posed a plea Of not guilty" and will make defense based on the theory of insanity. There were unusual req sons for surrounding the trial of Czolgosz with all the forms of the fair est trial ina aginable. The murder of the president was avowedly a blow at all law and all order. No crime in the history of civilization ever aroused such wrath and indignation. To per- init the feeling thus stirred to work against an orderly trial of the creature would have been to countenance the spirit which under.ies anarchy. Had there been mob violence against the prisoner 1t would have been deplor- rr<tz made it incumbent upon the people to restrain themselves from all violations of the law whose majessy has been so awfully affronted.
 The plea of insanity will, of course, be brushed aside summarily by the jury. Indeed, the insanity dodge seldom avails now to protect a murd- Ter from the consequences of his crime. Within the pas5 few years there has been a wholesome enlightment on the subject of insanity and crime. It is now recognized that all murierers are insane, in that the mind must be un- balanced before a man can bring him. self to the deliberate taking of the life of fellow creature. But it is just as clearly recognized that the first duty of society is to itself. and that 1t is a benefcent duty to destroy the crimi- nal insane. The law as written and handed down to us from past genera tions does not take this view of it. to be sure. and consequently criminals of this class occasionally escape the ex- treme punishment which popular com mon sense says should be inflicted up- on them. But the tendency all the time is toward a rational treatment of the question. The degree to which public senti- ment has advanced may be illustrated | by the fact that for long time fhere | was a large and respectable element in | this country which regretted that the | assassins John Wilkes Booth and Gui- teau. both undoubtedly insane. were

required to give up their lives for the lives they had taken; whereas. there is entire indifference as to the quality of Czolgosz's sanity. and his execu- ton will not bring out a single regret from any balanced citizen.

ed while committing the robbery and
no one but Pollock saw him we'll.
Pollock was taken from the car at
Missouri Valley and sent back to a
hospital in Omaha where he remained
until he was able to travel again. He
was able to give good description of
the man and big reward was offered
for the robbers arrest
Subsequently Frank Shercleff was
arrested in Leadville on suspicion and
Pollock went there and identified him.
The man who committed the robbery
was known as Ed Burke or Kid Nc
Coy and it was claimed that yShercleff
had passed under these names. He was
indicted and tried at Logan in Sep
TENDER, 1893.
Before Shercleff was tried gang of
safe blowers was placed under arrest
at Terre Haute, Ind, and among them
was one Frank Bruce. A detective ac-
cused Bruce of being the Pollock rob-
Der and sought to have him indicted
in Harrison county. Bruce seemed
to be willing to have the crime fasten-
ed upon him, but Pollock went to Ter
re Haute and declared that Bruce was
not the man. 1t was believed that the
effort to secure the indictment of
Bruce was ruse on the part of Sher-
cleff's friends among the Omaha and
Denver gamblers to cast doubt on the
identity of Shercleff
At the trial there was some strong
evidence to show that Shercleff was
not the right man. Two women who
were passengers on the train at the
time of robbery positively declared
Shercleff was not the robber. One
John Hollesworth, of Leadville, said
he had known Shercleff in Montana
five years before, that he saw him at
Aurelia. Iowa, Oct. 30. 1892, that he
went to Leadville from there, that
Shercleff deposited money with him in
Leadville and was in Leadville on the
day the robbery was committed Pol
lock positively identified Shercleff as
the robber and upon this testimony he
was convicted. On Sept. %, 1893,
Shercleff was sentenced to seventeen
years in the penitentiary.
Shercleff, at the time of his trial,
was % years years old, and he pleaded
for light sentence on account of ill
health, at the same time protesting his
innocence. He was native of Cana.
da and said that his parents lived at
that time in Pittsburg. The diamonds
were never recovered.
