NERVE FAILED WHEN
MOOSE WAS ADJUSTED
For Wife Murder John Lutz
Pays Death Penalty.
CRIME PARTICULARLY BRUTAL

Had Quarrel With His Wife; Left
Home, but Returned at Midnight
and Drained Her With Ak as She
Slept.
Wilkesbarre, Pa, Jan. 21.--John
Lutz was hanged today for the muir
der OF his wife. The drop fell at 10: II.
Lutz kept his nerve until the moose
was placed over his head. when he
gave way and would have collapsed
had he not been supported by the
sheriff.
The crime for which Lutz paid the
extreme penalty was particularly bru-
tai. On the evening of Nov. 2S, 1899,
he became enraged because his wife
did not desire their daughter to play
upon an organ as the child was i'll.
Lutz left the house and returned at
midnight with an AK. Proceeding to
the room wnere Mrs. Lutz and her
daughter were sleeping he Drained his
wife and then retired to lis own room.
where he was arrested the next day.
AT the first trial the jury was out 16
days before returning a nrst degree
verdict. One OF the jurors informed
the Judge that he had been impelled
ny sickness to sign the verdict, which
was against his conscience. Lutz was
given new trial and was promptly
convicted.

sensational Penitentiary Charge:
Bring on Spirited Debate.
Jackson, Miss. Jan. 21.-A spirited
debate, mingled with no small amount
OF bitterness and factionalism, occur
red on the floor OF the senate yester

fraud, corruption, mismanagement and
juggling of bookkeeping brought

penitentiary by the legislative investi,
eating committee.
Senator George openly charged that
Warden Parchman now occupies the
attitude OF an accused thief; that q po-
ltlcal attempt is being made to side
track the charges. and particularly the
Adams resolution. which demands an
immediate suspension of the warden;
that large amount of lobbying is In
progress to GUash tho matter. and that
the senate owes it to the people as
duty of common deccncy to take i'm
mediate action
Senator Dulaney took the floor and
claimed that Warden Parchman has
cleared himself OF The charges brought,
~ '' i''' "N"'Niii'!i' io was Hdtiy

would amply substantiate all charges
brought.

ton. insisted that the rottenncss be
probcd TO the bottom, regardless of
who may be affected.

nnally decided to make the matter
the special order of Wednesday af-

Ways of Authors.

Those who suppose that the work Of
authorship is easy may be interested
to learn some Of the expedients resort
ed to by distinguished men of letters.
With strong and vigorous men like
Victor Hugo and Catulle Mendes a
walk is sufficient to stimulate ideas.
The weak, on the contrary, like Des-
cartes and Leibnitz, found their inspi-
ration lying down. Cujas usually wrote
lying on his stomach. Rossini and Am
broise Thomas were inspired only
when in bed. Chateaubriand used to
dictate to his secretaryiwhile walking
barefooted up and down his chamber.
Bossuet wrapped his head in warm
linen, Balzac wore monks cowl and
Gautier red dressing gown. 1t is
said that without his scarlet jacket NJ.
francois Coppee could not write. Lord
Derby when writing filed his mouth
with cherry brandy, Fenimore Cooper
sucked gum and Pierre Lou has re-
course to perfumes. ;

Modest Fees.

Lawyers do not usually get the small
end of bargain with their clients, but
The Green Bag recalls two incidents
where the clients had rather the best
of it.
Sir Walter SCOTS first client was
burglar. He got the fellow off, but
the man declared that he hadn't a pen
ny to give him for his services. Two
bits of useful information he offered,
however, and with these the young
lawyer had to be content The first
was that yelping terrier inside the
house was better protection against
thieves than big dog outside and the
second that no sort Of lock bothered
his craft so much as an old. rusty one.
Small compensation as this was, the
first brief Of the noted French lawyer,
NJ. Rouher, yielded still less. The
peasant for whom NJ. Rouher won the
case asked how much he owed him.
"Oh, say 2 francs" said the modest
young advocate.
1.-TWO francsw exclaimed the peas
ant. THAT is very high. Won't you
let me off with franc and half.'
mo-" said the counsel; "2 francs or
nothing"
"Well, then," said his client, I'D
rather pay nothing"
And, with bow, he left.
