suddenly to leave Venice, he often
found himself without money. Once.
when he had come to Rome he was
without cent and did not know where

row S400 from a bank and was in a
perfect fever until the debt was paid
He has nephew, John Baptist Sar-
to, who although related to him, is only
the arch-priest of the mall village of
Pessango, the birthplace of Canova
When in the past, people used to ask
Cardinal Sarto what he would do if
made pope, referring to his modesty
and affability, he replied:
s.I shall have white robes instead of
red that will be the only change

efforts Of Sheriff Richards Of Asotin

Mabel Richards, was forcibly taken
from the Asotin county Jail early to-

1000 men from all parts Of Asotin

aside by the mob. When the cell CON

Jail. They kept back the crowd which

over the murderer's mouth to prevent
a possible outcry. Other members-'of

been guarding the entrance formed
chain about captive and captors, and in
this manner they proceeded. keeping
the crowd at a distance AT First and
Fillmore streets they halted under a
guy wire which crosses the street and
connects electric light poles. Here
one OF the leaders asked Hamilton if
he wanted to confess. He did so, adj
mitting that he outraged the sheriff S
child, IL years old, and then killed her.
His words were not heard more than
ten feet away. Finally he asked that
his jewelry and some trifing trinkets
be given to his father and mother. 1t
was promised that this would be done.
Some of the mob thought hanging
tSo good and wanted to torture him,

It reached down to his shoulders. A
rope was then placed about his neck
and thrown over the guy wire 1t was
