rooms on the same floor with the moth
Ell and sister of the bride.
During the early part of the sum
mer, when everybody lived with his
windows wide open, l used to be a
beneficiary of the little musicales that
were given in the pretty little music
in which the newly wed spent
most of their evenings. l soon came
to learn that he was a musician OF
some local reputation.
Il got a notion that his wife was his
pupil. | may be wrong about that.
Anyway, she used to accompany him
when he played the violin.
1--WE all met in the same dining
room every day. The musical family
had their table in one nook of the
room, mine was in another. We never
had any occasion to know each other
except in the way l have stated.
CAS- the summer passed l missed
them from the music room and from
their meals. Everybody in New York
goes away at some time or other in
summer, and | thought that my I'M
known neighbours were in the cate
cory. A few weeks after l had missed
them l bundled up my Own traps and
took a run across the pond.
81 came home a few days ago, and
looking across the area from my old
quarters 1 discovered that there were
new occupants in the rooms Of the
musical couple. If I thought anything
of the change it was only to attribute
it to the way in which we live in New
York.
Returning to my old table in the
dining room 1 saw some of the former
occupants of the apartment across the
way at their old table. l said to the
only person I knew in the dining room
that the musical family had returned.
"'All but one was the reply.

then learned it had occurred early IN
the summer, about the time l thought
they had gone away. In fact, the
funeral was held right under my nose
and I never knew it. So we live in

over the white floor and his life blood
stained the boards.
With a heart-rending cry of mis-
cry and grief the little son sprang
forward, and with his poor mother
bent over the PROSTATE form. Slowly
the fathers eyes opened, and he gazed
upward into the terror-Stricken eyes
above him.
My life is DONE" he gasped.
Tenderly the mother and son lifted
him to the rude bed which stood in
the corner, and laid him high upon the
rough mattress. Then the neighbors
fiOcked in, for the nearest residents
of the adjoining farms had heard the
shot, and the news, like all evil tic
ings, soon spread.
The Fathers Confession.
Then, amid the solemn silence of
the night, the father made his confess
sion. He related in detail the fearful
struggle which had been waged alone
there on the bleak mountain side, with
only the terror-stricken woman, the
brave little son and the drunken man,
who had meant murder, but whose plans
were SO frustrated by the daring reck-
lessness of the child.

breath, lie died.
Yet in spite of this death-bed state
ment, which was made by a mali who
realized the enormity of his crimes
ere he passed away, and lived only
long enough to make a final effort to
save his son., little Robert Gross, a
mere baby, is learning the bitter les
sons of life, while his tender heart is

with him since the tragedy. The poor
boy, who knew only the fierce love
of the mountain child, for a loving,

amy of a drunken father, languishes
among hardened criminals in the Lee
&C Unity Jail, because there has been
no one in all this section who has
been sufficiently interested to make
an effort to give his bond, which at
most is not over 81 1000. So he awaits
the laws slow course to bring him
back to his mountain home, where a
lonely aid he~art-broken woman,
doubly ~bereaved, awaits him with out

sheriff took charge of the Child who

resulted in his fathers death.

Thus spoke the boy murderer, a
child of Is. as his solemn eyes filled
with tears and his rounded shoulders
heaved under the stress of his emo
ton, when he was interviewed by the
writer.
The tragic story Of this child's life,
who is now incarcerated in the Lee
county Jail, at this city, is one of
incredible sadness. Reared in the
mountains, knowing only hard work
and loneliness, his baby heart had
turned over to the mother, for whom
he finally murdered his father. His
young mind clOuded over with memo
ries Of his fathers debauches, it was
only natural that he should Law

protected him from the cruelty of one
who knew not tenderness.
With Eight Murderers.
Little Robert Gross is the most pa

county Jail. Here in this bleak prison
house are eight men, all of whom
have the mark of Cain branded on
their brows. Two of them are young
men, not yet 80; one of them even
younger than this, and, with the eX-
ception of this child, who is Of such
tender years, the rest all men of ma
ture age.
What impulse but that of protec-
ton, what impulse but that of fair
fight would prompt the boy to cry
out: Let my mamma be-let her be,

Tender-Hearted Mother.
The story of the tragedy runs thus:
Robert Gross mother had given to
her aged and feeble father a little of
the store which lay within her larder,
never counting on the parsimoniOus
manner in which her husband would
grudgingly object to the generosity.
In fact, she had but given to the poor
old man a pound of freshly churned
butter which she, herself, had labOred
over making, and when nightfall had
settled down V the mountains, and
the purple shadows lay close to the
hills, turned to her household duties,
and soon had set the family table,
forgetting the gift. With no thought
of the trouble to come, she even sang
about her work, and little Robert sat
by the crate log fire, wearied from
the days blowing, awaiting his ia
theirs belated arrival. Often his
mother turned to him with CHEEKY
words of affection. All within spoke
Of peace, and there was naught to mar
the harmony of the evening. To be
sure, the mothers brOws were close
knitted, and her weary eyes showed
sign of the anticipated trouble as the
evening waXed late, for she knew too
we'll the cause of her husbands pro-
tracted stay. There are no clubs in
the mountains: or business engage
mentS to keep the mOuntaineers from
their hearthstones, and she feared for
the Homecoming which was to end
so fatally for them all.
A heavy, reeling step was heard
without ere the door opened to ad-
nit of his drunken presence. Like a
wounded animal at bay, she raised
her eyes and watched him enter, yet
with patient voice babe him draw
near and be seated at the simple re-
past which she had prepared. Then
he inquired of her father and Of her
gift to the old man. She answered
truthfully, and he cursed her.

"The DOCTOR" said Mr.. Kenney, "told
me that if I wanted to live any length
of time I would have to give up work al.

the paralysis which had begun would in
time involve my whole body"
Just how were you afflicted at this
time" Mr.. Kenney was asked.
"Well, l had first hot, and then cold
and clammy feelings, and at times my
body felt as if needles were being stuck
into it.. These sensations were followed
by terrible pains, and again would have
no feeling at all, but a numbness would
come over me, and would not be able to
move. The most agOniZing tOrtures came
from headaches and a pain in the spine.

iron poker which lay, alas! so con
veniently near, and strobe across the
room cursing her with the concen-
trated bitterness Of his mad rage.

frenzied with the scene, "let her be,
l say, or l will save her!"
But the man laughed at the child
and his feeble plea as the demoniacal
CLEAN glowed in his eyes like the
fires from hell's embers, while, with
appraised hands, he made ready to
bring down the iron poker upon the
furrowed brow of his faithful wife.

Robert Gross grasped up his fathers

man, cried out a warning. "Stop!"

protector; stop, or | will shoot!"

Again the fathers laugh rang out,
s%cornfully, contemptuously, and he
shot a glance of hatred at the child
who SO determinedly approached him
with commands. He made still an
other step toward his wife, who

became frenzied with the rage of
drunkenness, and cursed her again

that she should be so taxed with the

shielding her eyes with her hands.

and John w. Henderson and Henry d.
Baten, members of a contracting firm,
Philip H. johnson, an architect, and James
d. Finley, formerly a building inspector.
were arraigned for a hearing today before
Magistrate Eisenbrown The prosecution
was instigated by Mayor Weaver and II
the result of an Investigation made by w.
Bloddyn Powell, city architect, into the
construction Of one of the buildings for the
new city hospital for contagious diseases.
The contract for the building was awarded
to Henderson & Co. on March 8, 1903, the
price being $1f2,7eO.
Samuel H. Ashbridge was at that time
mayor of the city. Mr.. Ashbridge and
Architect Powell were the most important
witnesses called at today's hearing, which
was continued until tomorrow.
Mr.. Powell said that his investigation de-
veloped the fact that the specifications had
been disregarded by the contractors. There
was little thing, he declared. some of the
rooms were not plastered and where the
specifications had called for brick walls
plaster and expanded wire were used. In
stead of mastic flooring the builders had
substituted maple in many of the rooms
and corridors. Instead of the JIG pounds
of steel specified only 5000 pounds had been
used. Although the contractors were paid
in full for their work Mr.. Powell said the
building is not complete.
