a1c jury y1r1.cE upon Inc s-@s.. |
Of Jack Biddle is worded virtually the
same as that for Edward Biddle's
death, except that 1t states:
Died From Shot of an Officer.
John Biddle died in the Butler
county jail at Butler, Pa, on Satur
day, Feb. /, 1902, at 7:35 O'Clock p. M.
from the effects of gunshot wound
inflicted upon him by an officer Of the
law while in the performance of his
duty in Franklin township, Butler
county, Pa. on Friday, Jan. 81. 1902,
at about o'clock p. M"
The latter part Of section five OF
ME Jack BiddIe verdict reads as fol
lows:
THAT said posse returned the fire
and battle ensued, in which said
John Biddle received the wound
which caused his death.
I'VE hereby exonerate the officers
from all liability, and commend them
for their brave conduct and the
faithful performance of their duty
Jack Biddle died first, at 1875
O'Clock Saturday evening.
His brother Ed died at exactly IL
| o'clock.
Neither saw the other during Satur-
day afternoon and Ed did not know
that Jack had died.
| When told early in the evening that
Jack Biddle had died Mrs. Soffel ut
| tered not q word of regret or praise,
contempt or admiration. She sighed.
Then she seemed to fall into a
sleep, which was only the effects of
| the opiates administered to her to re-
lieve her intense pain, and was not
| broken again until few hours later,
when she was aroused and told that
Ed Biddle had died.
She started up in a sudden hys-
terical effort to say something.
Realized She Was Left Alone.
1t was evident she fully realized the
position in which she was left, that
she was the only surviving one of the
trio.
The cause of Ed Biddle's death was
officially stated to be hemorrhages,
the lungs having filled with blood.
DR. J. c Atwell, who was with him
when he expired, said:
The ball which caused his death
passed through the pleura and prob
ably penetrated both lungs.
THE lungs filled up with blood,
which caused his death in the same
manner as that of victim of pneu-
monia.
The bullet which killed him was
fired by his own hand"
The official explanation of the
cause of Jack Biddles death was that
he died from shock
DR.. AtWell witnessed the last mo-
ment Of consciousness of Jack Biddle
1t occurred about 6: 40 O'clock
Biddle opened his eyes for a few
seconds and DR.. Atwell said to him
you are going to die soon, Jack
Is there anything you want to say?"
The dying man shook his head.
No sound escaped his lips
He had given his dying statement
to DR.. Byers some hours before.
1t consisted mainly of a repetition
OF the assertions of himself and his
brother that both were innocent OF
murder.
Shortly after noon Jack Biddle
made statement to DIR. Byers, which
he said he desired to have considered
as his dying declaration:
His language is reported by DR.
Byers as follows

MRS. SOFFEL MAY RECOVER.
Since Death of Biddles Was Told Her
She Seemed a Changed
Woman.

Butler, Pa, Feb. 3.-Last night the
attending physicians said Mrs. Soffel
had excellent chances of recovery.
Since the news of the deaths of the
two Biddles was told her, Mrs. Soffel
seemed to have become a changed
woman.
BY the administration of opiates
Mrs. Soffels intense pain, caused by
the bullet wound in her left breast,
had left her and in moments of wake
fitness. or when the wound is
dressed by the hospital nurses or
physicians, she languidly turned her
face to one side and then to another,
looking at times out of the window in
the direction of Pittsburg, where her
heart-broken husband was.
Miss Agnes Cook, the matron OF
the hospital, said Mrs. Soffel had not
once asked for the Biddles after her
first moments of delirium.
Neither had she made any appeals
for her husband or children.

WHAT CONGRESS MAY DO.
Expenses For Prince Henry's Enter
tanment and the Coronation
May Cause Discussion.

Washington, Feb. 3.-For the most
part the senate will divide its time
this week between the Philippine tar
if bill and the bill increasing the sal
aries of members of the federal ju-
dietary. The salary bill is in charge
of Senator Hoar, and will be eonsid-
cred in the morning hour of the SEN
ate each day until it is disposed Of,
while the Philippine bill, which is In
the hands of Senator Lodge, will con-
tinue to have right of way as the I'M
finished business after o'clock each
day. The salary bill will be the SUBJ
ject only of running debate, but a
number of set speeches will be made
on the other measure. Among the
senators who will be heard during
the week are Messrs. Teller, Turner
Carmack and Culberson. 1t is not
probable that the debate on the
Filipino bill will be concluded during
the week. The friends of the judicial
salary bill hope to conclude it's con-
sideration at comparatively early
day. They say that Senator Stew
arts amendment increasing the sala-
ries of senators and members of con-
gress will be unceremoniously voted
down. Today Senator Hale. from the
committee on appropriations, will re-
port the urgent deficiency appropria-
ton bill and ask to have it considered
tomorrow. The amendment in this
bill providing for the entertainment
of Prince Henry and the expenses of
this country incident to the coronation
may lead to some discussion, but no
doubt is entertained of the final ia
vorable disposition of those items.

To this DR.. Byers added that Jack
Biddle told him when he and his
brother and Mrs. Soffel left the jail
in Pittsburg they bound themselves
one to another by an agreement that
they would not kill any one.
If they found they were going to
be taken they agreed that they would
each kill themselves, and this agree

Mrs. Soffel had shot herself in the

Ed had shot himself in the breast.
Jack had shot himself twice in the
mouth
Jack Biddle also spoke to DR.. BY

not to kill him.

Bars Sawed Before Christmas.
THE bars of our cells were sawed

the dying Jack Biddle.
I'VE got the saws from Mrs. Soffel
and covered up any traces of the work
with black wax
Edward wanted to wait until we
would hear what disposition would be
made of the case before the board Of
pardons, and then we were to make
a break if they did not commute the
sentence of death.
Mrs. Soffel became uneasy, how.

away as soon as possible, and so we
decided upon the course We pursued. =

Loyalty to Woman Fatal.

Earlier in the day Jack Biddle told
Sheriff Hoon that he and Ed could
have escaped if they had not had Mrs.
Soffel with them, but that out of con-
Bideration for the kindness she dis
played toward them and her great as
sistance in siding in their break froIn

to carry her with them just as long
as possible.
Father Walsh, the spiritual adviser
OF the Biddles, was with Jack for tue
last time shortly before 5 o'clock.
He had given the last sacraments
of the church to Ed Friday evening,
and they were administered to Jack
during Saturday.
Both the brothers, in the converse
lions which they had with officers
and physicians, declared themselves
several times as having repented OF
their wrong doing, and stuck con-
sistently to their story that it did not
include the crime of murder.

ADRIAN HEw,TT's STATEMENT
Cause Of More Than Sufficient Labor
in Coal Fields.

Cause OF More IMAM SuWCiehS LABOR
in Coal Fields.
Bar Harbor Me-, Sept. 3.-Abram S.
Hewitt, whose recent statements re-
garding the situation of the strikers
in the anthracite coal fields has opened
up wide discussion, was asked today
to reply to the statements made by
President Mitchell and other prominent
sympathizers with the miners cause
When asked as to the surplusage of
labor in the coal fields and the limited
hours OF work he said:
'There is more than sufficient labor
in the coal fields at the present time
and the union is itself responsible in
a measure for the limited amount of
work and resultant pay accorded each
miner. For the men being made MEM
bers of the organization it becomes
necessary to SO subdivide the work
among them that each man is employed
a shorter number of hours with con-
sequent deduction of wage earnings.
The union seeks to have each man paid
the same wages for this shortened time
as was paid when the supply of labor
was less and the time of employment
longer The men then We're paid suf-
ficiently high wages to maintain a
standard of living that was satisfac-
tory as is witnessed in the case OF many
CT the mines, notably the Lehgh Coal
s. Navigation company. 1t was because
of this satisfactory standard of living
wages. that the excess labor was at
tracted to the coal fields"
Speaking of President Mitchell's
statement that the coal strike had little
political significance, Mr.. Hewitt mere
ly cited the instance of the last presi-
dental campaign when the labor vote
became most important question in
national politics and forced a COM
promise when there would have other
wise been long drawn fight. The
situation today is If anything more
suggestive of political possibilities than
it was at that time.
There Is one phase" said Mr.. He
witt, "of this strike. to which the public
as a whole has not had it's attention.
drawn. Ii is a mistake to suppose
that the mines are in the hands of
seven or eight individuals who alone
reap the reward of victory or suffer the
disadvantage OF defeat in this crisis.
The mines belong to many thousands
