force from Quebec which cameup from
Sorel on the Quebec boat reached the
hotel. Chief Carpenter took his prison
ers to Judge Lafontaine's residence
and an imprOmptu court was convened
in the judges library. Detective Car
penter handed the judge the warrants
with the return marked upon the
back as is usual. The prisoners were
asked if they were guilty or not guilty,
and not replying, the Judges clerk ac-
cepted their failure to plead as plea
Of not guilty. Judge Lafontaine then
said: Prisoners, l remand you for
trial until Monday. the 10Th OF this
month. without bail" The prisoners
bowed, and the judge Informed Car
penter that he remanded the prisoners
to bis custody.
In the meantime High Constable
Gale OF Quebec with the writ OF ha-
beas corpus was searching diligently
for Mr.. Carpenter. At 10 o'clock he
found him in his Office and served the

he did not even smile, and | felt

not admire his own oratory, when
faithfully presented TO him, or the
idea of being initiated by Aries sa-

Alas, poor Bellwood freedom was
anything but boon to him, for while
he had great initiative powers and
quick memory, his reasoning quail

presented to many of his race, were
all as sealed book to him. He was
ever harmless and obliging. and the
thought is a very sad one that the
soul of such an unfortunate should
take its flight TO its God and Maker

At Tuesdays meeting Of the Com

death Of Henry Thomas. col6red, in
the county Jail said: Thomas was
committed to Jail by Justice Of the
Peace from the 1st district, August
8. 1902. While in Jail the Septem-
Der Grand Jury visited the Jail. saw
Thomas and in It's report found the
Jail well Kept and the prisoners
properly cared for. Subsequently,
Mr.. Welt. the jailor. called on the
board about Thomas removal from
the Jail. The Board in accordance
with law, directed two doctors 20
examine the prisoner. They did
so and declined.to certify TO his in
sanity. Without this certificate or
the verdict OF a jury the Board had
no authority to send Thomas to a
Hospital. After this, as President
of the board, | offered several par
ties to pay them for Thomas
care and keep, but they declined
the offer. / submit that neither the
Board of Commissioners nor the
jailor are in any way responsible
for Thomas being in Jail or for his
death while there"

Messrs. Editors Your last pa
per announces the death OF Henry
Thomas in the county Jail, where he
had been confined since last August,
his only crime having been that he
was "weak-minded and had no home
or occupation. There can be no
proper censure for his arrest, as a
vagrant, but in these days OF so
called advanced humanity, there
is an inconsistency in his continued
confinement, in q common Jail, as
though he had been a felon, whose
sins against law and order had de-
prived him of the God given boon of
light and air. He was born about
fifty eight years ago, his mother be-
ing q house-servant of the late Mrs.
George Combs, and a particularly
bright minded woman; his father
was Henry Thomas, who was the
carriage-driver of the late w. ]. Ed
ellen aud is probably remembered by
some of your older readers. In his
early days of freedom he earned his
bread by the sweat of his brow, but
later on the tenor of his life was
nomadic, and he tarried longest ac-
cording to ordinary animal instinct,
where he Jared best. After many
and long wanderings his life was
ended, by a kind of fateful irony,
within q mile of the place of his birth,
and while his talents were few, lit
tie, we may be assured, was demand
ed of him in the UNEMPLOYED world
to which his soul has taken its fight.
While his talents were limited in
number, he possessed some that
were truly wonderful. His mother
and he became in the process of
time the slaves OF the late VIM. Coad,
where saw very much of him. He
had a voice that in strength and vol
ume must have rivalled that of the
famous Stentor, and he had the pow
err OF so modulating it that be could
reproduce almostan sound he ever
heard. Often during the Civil War,
when the Federal steamers were ia
the habit Of going to Jones wharf
(now Grason 50 for COAL. he would
initiate the whistle OF one of them.

rush to the doors and windows 10
