with having killed another man with a
sandbag, and in the face of the judges
summing up, the jury brought in a yer.

chief justice, Sir Matthew Begbie, who at

"Gentlemen of the jury, mind, that is
your verdict, not mine. On your con-

such disgraceful verdict. Many repeti-

trial by jury horrible farce and the City

Rib BY Too Strenuous Hug.

Rib by Too Strenuous Hug.
BosToN, July 31.-A too strenuous hug,
it is declared, was the cause of breaking
one of Miss Bessie Hayes's ribs. The
young woman is at Ocean House at
Swampssott. He admits that he squeezed
the young woman, but says he did not
mean it.
One evening while strolling on the
beach Tirrell caught the young woman
about the waist and gave her hug that
was actually bearish in its characteristics.
Other couples were near and the action OF
the young man caused considerable
laughter upon their part, but much indig'
nation upon the part of Miss Hayes.
Tirrell apologized. Miss Hayes was
troubled by pain in her side after the
hug and physician found that a rib had
been snapped. Mr.. Tirrell said today:
81 met Miss Hayes for the first time last
summer. This summer we have seen
more of each other and have taken many
walks together. 1t was in joke that l
happened to squeeze her so hard. 1 un-
derstand she is very angry at me now."-

ESCAPED FROM SAGHALlEN.
A Convict, Serving for Terrible Crimes, Is Freed
by War.

"A Ionvict, SsfvnS Tor iefriDle Inmes, rreeo
by War.
ST.. PETERSBURG, August Ut is re-
ported from Ssghalien that in the course
of events, accompanying the recent inyas-
ion Of the japanese, there occurred the
mysterious disappearance from the island
of a convict named Putilin, formerly 3
priest of Marrinsk, who year ago, was
sentenced at Tomsk, to penal servitude
for life for series of bloodcurdling MUIR
ders.
A man of immense strength, Putilin
was very popular among his fellow pris-
oners, and was favorite with the convict
guards. He playedanI important part in the
preparation of convict regiment to repel
the Japanese, but it is suspected that he
took advantage of the disorders accom-
panying the invasion to make good his
escape.
The news of his escape has caused q
wave of terror throughout Eastern Sibe-
ria. Many believe that that the convict
priest will throw himself on the mercy Of
the japanese, if he has not already done
so but some with terror aver that Putilin
will undoubtedly return to the scene Of
his former crimes.
In the heyday of his prosperity, Father
Putilin was one of the most honored and
respected men in the neighborhood Of
Marrinsk. But, with his three brothers
(all priests and wealthy house owners,)
Father Putilin in reality lived for years
double life. At night time the criminal
quartet, masking their faces, sailed out
and waylaid wealthy travellers on the
Cars highway. On one occasion they
even held up and robbed Siberian emf
grant train.
Finally the four brothers were brought
to justice by an anonymous letter, which
advised the police that brass bound
chest under the altar of Father Putilin's
church, if searched, might be found to
contain stolen property.
Concealing themselves in the church at
midnight, police and detectives, to their
amazement, witnessed their honored
priest, Father Putilin, holding benedic-
ton service in which he blessed three
masked brothers, and sprinkled their
murderous revolvers with holy water.
During the trial no fewer than seven
teen murders were brought home to this
quartet of robber clergymen.

Union Pacific Employees Will Have
Their Fitness for Position Deter
mined BY PhrenoIogist.

Omaha, Nebr., May 26-Employes
of the Union Pacific Railway are
about to have the bumps on their
heads determined and interpreted by
a phrenolOgist 1t is not because any
OF the engineers, firemen, conductors,
brakemen or clerks want to have a
professor finger their bumps, but be-
cause somewhere along the line of ex-
ecutive officers of the road is a man
who wants to know if every man is
suited to his job; hence the phrenolo-
gist
Although notice of the pending ex-
aminations was given to the employees
several days ago, from the main Of
fees here, the significance of the an
nouncement has just begun to dawn
on their minds. Now every one is
guessing whether or not he can keep
his job. The idea of having this ex-
animation made is that If a man is
found selling tickets, for instance,
with cranial development which
denotes that he would make better
engineer than clerk, his position will
be changed and he will be made an en-
gineer.

Rothschild, head of the French branch
of the banking house bearing the name

this morning from acute bronchitis
aggravated by gout. The eminent fin
ancier had been sinking slowly for
many days but there was no aprehen-
sion that death was near The an

est being gift of 100000 for the
erection of workingmens homes. The
deceased was born in 1927. He will
be succeeded as head of the
Paris house by Baron Lambert de

cling of the indemnity which France
paid to Germany after the Franco
German war.
