CUNLIFFE VICTIM
OF LONG TORTURE
Inhuman Treatment Forced Con-
LESSONS from Man Who
Stole 100000.
Journal Special Service.

Cunliffe, Who Stole SOL 900 from the
Adams Express company and was cap
tured in Bridgeport, Conn.,, spent Sat
urday night in the Allegheny county
Jail and received the first sleep that
he has been permitted to enjoy since
the Pinkertons arrested him three days
before. ..
The treatment which has been &C.
corded to Cunliffe by the Pinkerton
detective agency has been the most in
human that any man has been known
to have passed thru in recent years, and
well recalls the use of the pillory and
the socks.
When Cunliffe reached the jail Sat-
urday night he was physical wreck
and SO weak from his trying ordeal that
he had to be supported. Once inside the
shelter Of the Jail, he sank down on his
cot into a stupor from which he did
not awaken for many hours. He is
still in his bed under the care of the
jail physician, DR.. Chessron.
Kept Awake by Pinkertons.
After his arrest in Bridgeport, Gun
life was taken to the town jail there
and all night long was kept awake by
the Pinke-tons, who treated him al
they would have treated a prince, unit
Lney nnally extracted from MIN prom
Use to return to Pittsburg without requi
/ sition papers. Once that promise wa
secured, he was allowed to sleep TO-
| probably half an hour, but was awak
ened at 4:30 to take the train for Pitts
burg. He arrived here at !, o'clock OF
Friday evening, pretty well exhausted
after his long ride and the loss of slee1
of the night before.
But his sutferings had not started
He was at once taken to the loca
headquarters Of the Pinkertons an
there the gruelling began. What Gun
life passed thru until 10 O'Clock Sat
urday no one but those who partici pate
in the affair will ever know. Cunliff
himself does not know. He only know
that he told everything he knew an
some things he did not know, in tn
hope Of escaping from the horrible o.
deal.
Stories of the Torture.
All kinds Of stories are in circulatio
as to the manner in which Cunliffe we
treated, but none of them can be pos
tively verified. One report is to tt
effect that thumb-clamps were used /
the detectives in their efforts to q
; from Cunliffe what he had done wit
the remainder of the money.
So great is the indignation over tt
methods used by the Pinkertons in tt

by Adrenalin.
journal Special Service.

Cleveland, Oct. 23.-Dead from as
ployee of the East Ohio Gas company,
was restored to life at Mount Sinai
hospital by the use Of adrenalin. He
was asphyxiated at 5 clock Saturday
night and WAS taken three miles to a.
hospital. He was dead when he arrived
there.
The house physician, believing the
case to be hopeless, but ready to take
desperate chance, cut the clothes
from the body and with the aid of
nurses, commenced artificial respira-
tion. Fifteen, twenty, thirty minutes
elapsed and there was no sign Of life;
the body was cold, there was no heart
action nor sign Of respiration.
Physicians Go to Work.
Then three physicians gave the body
an injection of adrenalin thru an. in.
cision in the arm. One doctor mas
saged the heart, while the, other two
continued with artificial respiration
An hour: elapsed before, any sign Of life
was evident thru faint fuctuatio1
Of the heart and an almost unnotice
able action Of the respirat tory muscles
This process was continued For three
hours during which another injection
of adrenalin was given. When natura
respiration was set up powerful stimu
! !ants were administered. Az noon Sch1l
ling left his bed and walked about hi

Walter Wellman SAYS:
Is it to be President Taft or Presl-

(which good many observers are now
asking For some time it has been
settled CONCLUSION among tie p3htical

MIR. Bryan again would be the nominee
)of his party for president in 1908. And
now the same authorities men
lwho talk around the hotel Hobbies and
in the corridors of the government de
)partments-will have it that William
H. Taft is to be the republican candl-
Bryan as Party Leader.
According to the gossipers, Mr.. Bryan
will have no difficulty whatever IN re-
gaining leadership Of his party, IN l9gS.
In fact, he is today the only really
tlarge figure in the democrat1c party.
The lamentable failure of the alliance
between the solid south and New York
state last vear-the experiment in con-
servatism-has convinced most demo
Gratis the only hope for their party lies
in radicalism. And, Of course, that
means Mr.. Bryan.
Mr.. Bryan 5 hold upon his party
was never before as complete as it is
today. 1t is virtually undisputed, un-
enduring. If Mr.. Bryan does not want
to be the democratic candidate three
years hence, he may name the man
The party is ready to do his bidding
And unless he says no very vigorously
and positively, it will name him.
Taft as Good as Nominated.
More and more men are prone tc
look upon Mr.. Taft as the successor
view are, of course, taking Ions
chances, as he is a rash prophet wht
presumes to predict in 1905 what vii
happen in 1908. But the fact remains
that in the midst Of so many men Mr.
Taft is already considered almost a:
good as nominated. His speech in Ohii
Saturday and the putting forward O
his name by the members of the Tai
Presidential club are regarded as fore
runners of campaign to make tn
secretary Of war the head of the state
Mr.. Taft is deemed by many com
petent observers to be wellnigh al
ideal public servant. He has GOO
deal of wisdom and strength ane
power for work in that big head an(
body of his, and all he has he. give
to his country. He hews to the line al
the time. There is no trimming in hi
case. He has but one guide: "Is thi
the best thing for the country, for tn

In the affirmative and everything els

Taft Fearless Man.
Taft is one of the most conscientiou

service of our country in twenty year
4 He is not even afraid of 'Theodo1
Roosevelt and is one Of the few men
bers of the cabinet who have nerv
enough to speak plainly and frankl

It is a far cry to 1908, but in pas

OH NO! NO POKER
WHEN MAYOR GAME
Mayor and Police Chief Have Odd
Experience While Out
Inspecting

Mayor D. P. Jones learned last night
that men who have the gambling mania
need constant watching While on a
tour, Of inspection, he happened into a
room crowded with weIl-known. follow
ers Of : the game. The room was over
Tom Murphy's saloon in Postoffice alley
and it was only after extensive ma
neuvering that entrance was gained.
Several new orders have been given
to saloonkeepers recently and last even
ing the mayor thought he would see
moned Police Superintendent Doyle and
License Inspector Longfellow, and
started on the tour. A rumor had pre-
viously reached headquarters that some
good games were on in the alley every
right and the rooms over Murphy's sa-
loon were the first inspected.
AS the party went up the stairs, a
large inquiring eye .gazed at them thru
the little peek hole in the door. When
hurriedly closed and for moment
there was scuffling of feet and much
whispering, altho the identity Of the
visitors was not then known.
4. superintendent Doyle raped Lon the
!, door several times, but there was nc
| answer. He then went to the sa1oo1
below, and demanded that the bartend
| er open the door. he refused anC
made excuses, but wher Doyle threat
ened to open the door anyway, the bar
keeper finally found a key that would
fit, and tho executive party was ad
mitted.
In the room they found nearly TWEEN
| ty men seated about poker tables, every
man busily talking about business af
fairs. One Of them, however, had :
| little more self-cOntrol than the other
and remarked that he would like t,
have Mayor Jones sit down and cha
awhile. The mayor politely declined
and the men waited quietly, expectin,
to hear an invitation' from Superintend
ent Doyle to take seats in the patro
Il wagon.
The cards had disappeared, but in tn
hurry tray of poker chips had bee
left exposed on one of, the tables.
| Nothing was done with the case las
night, but Mayor Jones has not droppe
the matter and the officers will try t
find the man responsible for the part
so abruptly broken up last night.

Journal Special Service.

New York, Oct. 23.-substantial
proof that Andrew Carnegie has for
given his niece, Miss Nancy Carnegie,
for marrying James Hever, a coach
man, came to day with the announce.
ment that the ironmaster has purchased
for the young couple the Sifas Albert
son farm of seventy eight acres at
Rosvln, L. I.
The birth of a girl paved the way
to Andrew Carnegie's forgiveness. The
ewly-purchased farm is in a locality
where are the homes of many notable
society folk. The selection of the site
is taken to mean that Mrs. Hever may
make an effort to return to the social
circles from which her marriage ex.
cluded her.
T. Hever was formerly groom for Nansy
Carnegie's mother. He frequently at
tended Miss Carnegie. The young
couple went to Europe after wedding
secretly. Hever was a widower with
two children at the time of the mar
riage. The girl was born last April.
