through .his fathers family was re-
ceived by the old families in st. Louis

Bingham was apprehended on his
own request. A week ago henotitied
the Prosecuting Attorney that he
was tired of evading Justice, pleaded
restless heart, loss of all interes in
life and urged; Whatever you do,
do quickly, to save me from myself,
limiting at selfdestruction.

by painting "Order No. H." This
showed homes burning, men bleed

soldiers looting Missouri homes.
Not content with painting the pie
ture, the. determined man sent it to
