A NECKTIE OF ROPE
READY FOR GRAHAM.
Murderer of Negro Morgan
Will Hang.
NO eRovocATloN FOR KILLING.
First Murder Case Tried Results In
Verdict Of Guilty-FIoyd Johnson Is
Likewise Tried For Murder-klIled
His Own Wife.

If the verdict of the jury, as render
ed yesterday, is carried out, as it I'M
doubtedly will be-, John Graham will
die upon the galIows here for the muir
der of another negro, Horace Morgan.
The crime was al strocious one and
without provocation at all.
The case did not occupy any great
length 10 trial, and the jury soon agreed
upon a verdict.
Graham was defended by Messrs. r.
E. Lee aud G. G. Webb, while Acting
Solicitor Blalock and City Court Solic-
itor T Irt appeared for the State in thiP,
as in other cases.
The crime for which Graham will die
is well remembered here.
John Graham wantonly killed Hor-
ace Morgan, an inoffensive negro, on a
Sunday night last spring just after
both had attended church services at
which Graham had protested CONVEX
sion and Joined the church.
Thirty minutes later he committed
the murder.
Gtahaul's story of the crime was that
he cav Morgan at night walking in
the road and, thinking him an escaped
convict, shot him dead. Morgan was
40 cow c., he wore no convict gsrb,
and Graham probably knew we'll who
he was when the fatal shot was fred.
The impression prevailed among
some that the killing of Morgan was
inspired by iealousIy.
Life Sentence for Johnson.
Floyd Johnson was next put upon
trial upon murder charge, the killing
of his wife last summer. The woman.
alleging cruelty, fed from her home to
that of q neighbor. Johnson pursued
and when his wife refused to return
nome with him, ehot her dead.
Johson's defense was that the fatal
shot was accidental and not intended
for his wife, but rather for another me-
gro in the party. After short dslib'
Grafton the Jury returned a verdict o.
guilty with recommendation to mercy,
and Johnson goes to the pen for life
The negro was so elated at the say
ing of his neck that he openly thanked
Judge Littleiohn last night for the lif'
sentence imposed. He was defended
by Messrs. Williams & Harper.
This dlsposes of two of the five muir
der cases at this term of the court, anC
the remaining three will be finished
today and tomorrow. One other case
yesterday was that of Bill Mathis, as.
eault with intent to murder, who wal
fined $3.50 upon a plea of guilty.
Solicitor General Hooper was called
to Albany yesterday upon business
but will return shortly.

like fire, the sooner you combat it the
better your chances are to overpower it..
But few mothers in this age are willing
to do the necessary work required to
give good old-fashioned reliable treat
ment such as would be administered by
their grandmothers. backed by Boschee's
German Syrup, which was always liber-
ally used in connection with the home
treatment of colds and is still in greater
household favor than any known rem
edy. But even without the application
of the old-fashioned aids German Syrup
will cure a severe cold in quick time. It
will cure colds in children or grown peo-

allays the irritation, and effectively stops
the cough. Any child will take it. 1t

Suicide of Millionaire Is Laid at

Riggin Travers, son of the late w. r.

The magazine attacks were inspired
by the recent divorce secured by the
suicides wife, who was Lille Harri-
man. daughter of Oliver Hartman
and sister of Mrs. w. X. Vanderbilt
She has been living abroad. The
periodical declared that she was we'll

him was shown, his friends say, by
the fact that he visited District Attor-

by his father, which is estimated to
have been worth about 100000.

DETAILS OF THE SCHEME
Leonard Tells How He Went About
Obtaining the Doodle.

Leonard told the police that he con-
ceived the idea of the theft some three
or four months ago, and had been
planning during that time to execute
it. On the Goth Of September, he
said, he found four blank checks on
the Hanover National bank That was
in the forenoon. Later in the same
day, he said, he was in the corridor
of the National City bank and among
the men waiting in line he saw man
holding in his hand an envelope
marked 1850, 00O-4A per cent" on
the envelope. He said he heard the
loan clerk tell the messenger that the
interest was AZ per cent, and not AZ
Then, he said, the messenger departed
Leonard then had his cue, and went
to the Bowery and there ordered a
rubber certification stamp, but before
doing so he cut out the certificatiOn of
an old check, from which the stamp
was to be copied After he secured
the stamp he filled out the body of the
check drawn on the Hanover National
bank. Then he said be went to Wall
street and hailed passing boy, and
asked him if he knew where the Ma
tiOnal City bank was. The boy said
he did not.
Leonard said he told him "Take this
check to No. so Wall street, and hand
it to the loan clerk" Leonard mean
while stood opposite the custom house
and saw the boy take the package and
come out with the securities. Leon
ard said he took the securities to his
home and with no delay put them in
a wrapper, affixed the necessary stamp.
and took them to mail box in the
neighborhood of West Ninety Second
street and mailed them to Dyer Pearl
who is member of the firm that
owned the securities.
There were, however, only 100000
worth of securities in the packa ge.
which We're received safely the next
day by Pearl. There were $4,000
worth of securities missing. and Leon
ard explained that by saying that to
have enclosed them all in a package
by mail would have made the package
too bulky. and he therefore kept them
out and only mailed 100000 worth
In this connection it was noted by the
police that only about $4,000 worth of
the securities was negotiable.

ROOSEVELT WELCOMED
President Given the Glad Hand on His
Arrival at Washington from
Sycamore Hill.

Washington, Oct. 2-Thousands Of
his fellow citizens turned out to well
come President Roosevelt to the ma
tional capital, and made his home-com-
ing an occasion for an ovation from
the time he was sighted on the plat
form of his car until he passed within
the doors of the White House. There
was no band of music, but the cheers
Of the assembled people made the air
ring with "hurrahs" as his carriage
passed slowly up the avenue. The
president was deeply touched by the
welcome and especially by it's spon-
taneity.
Before leaving the station the presi-
dent shook hands with the engineer of
his train. From there to the White
House the streets were lined with
cheering people, and for the last block
or two the president stood in his car
riage, hat off, bowling to the plaudits
showered on him. Mrs. Roosevelt was
radiant with pleasure.
The presidents sendoff at Oyster
Bay was equally hearty. The town
was gay with bunting and business
was suspended, while everybody was
on the street cheering the nations ex-
ecutive. At the station was a COM
pany Of young girls in white who sang

Perfect In quality.

A gallon is exactly ten pounds of
distilled water, so when housewives
say "a pint's a pound the world
around they are mistaken.
The imperial standard yard, which
is the same as our own, is the dis
lance between two fine lines on a bar
Of bronze, measured at 60 degrees
F. The bar is kept mounted on eight
rollers in a special steel safe in Lon
don.
The standard pound is kept in a sill
yer gilt box contained in a bronze box,
the top of which is securely screwed
down and the whole placed in spe-
cial compartment of the same safe.

The St. Bernard Pass.

The examinations made at the Great
st. Bernard show that the pass was
not only used by foot passengers, but
by hOrsemen in Roman times. It
seems that it was a safer route in the
time of Vitellius than until the last
few years. Excavations demonstrate
that there were two buildings, much
farther apart than is the present road.
There was temple there, and some
fifty votive tablets have been found.
1t must always have been place of
refuge, though often subjected to at
tack. Signs Of violence are demon
strated by the fact that votive tablets
have been discovered broken and
thrown into the swamp below. 1t was
in the eleventh century that st. Ber-
nard of Mention founded the modern
hospice.
