Nan Convicted in 1860. Has JUS
Died Natural Death.
Howard A. Cleveland is dead at the
state prison at Thomaston. after hav
ing been confined there since 1855
under sentence Of death. For some rea
son, never explained, the sentence wa:
not carried out, nor was it annullec
OF modified. It seems to have beer
forgotten, and Cleveland lived on until
he died natural death.
The case was one Of the most re
markable In this state. It was the only
murder ever committed in Orrington.
The records show that Cleveland was
indicted for the willtul and malicious
murder Of Warren George. A verdict
cf guilty was rendered in 1859, Cleye-
land was sentenced to death. Before
fixing the day for the execution, the
governor and counsel submitted the
following question to the Supreme
Court OF Maine: did the jury, By
it's verdict, ind Cleveland guilty OF
murder in the first degree?"
The jury has merely declared Cleve-
land guilty Of the crime whereof be
stood indicted. The indictments in
tent was plain, but there was some
difference Of opinion among the JUS
t,ces as to whether the man had been
legally convicted Of murder in the first
degree. Then the council passed an
order that the government be advis-
ed to stay the execution Of sentence
until further advised" The case then
seems to have been dropped by the
state authorities.
The sentence was never commuted.
Just why no attempt was made to car
~ the sentence into effect does not
appear. Since 1874 the laws had left
the execution OF the death penalty in
q measure to the discretion Of the ex-
ecut1ve, without limit Of time. The
responsibility was so great and the
sentiment against the death penalty
so active that at one period there was
no execution in this state for nearly
thirty years. In 1876 the death pen
atty was abolished altogether. IL 1888
the death penalty for murder was re
established, hut in 1887 it vas again
abolished.

a GHOST STORY.
The People of Georgia Town Very

Much Exercised.
A dispatch to the Atlanta Journal
says the neighborhood known as Ros-
noke, which is located about one mile
from Fitzgerald, Ca, is very much
excited over the appearance OF sup
posed CHEST. It made it appearance
for the first time last Sunday night 10
the family Of q. Sharp. It gave an
exhibition that thoroughly alarmed
the family. II appeared in the kitchen
and fairly made the house ring with
music from dish pan. Mrs. Sharp
appeared on the scene and his ghost
ship disappeared ss if by magic. On
leaving the room the music again COM
mepCed.
This time Mrs. Sharp returned with
the same result. She thought to bribe
Mr. Gaost so she left piece OF money
on the table ard left the room. Again
the cish pan danced about and the
dishes ratified as though an earth.
quake had taken place. Mr.. Ghost did
not accept the price offered for bis de-
parture, but Instead walked about the
place. Ga approaching it, 1t disap-
peared and would bob up at distance.
Shooting at it had no effect whatever.
Monday night crowds OF people Wis
tied the place from the neiehborhood
and the city. Some claimed to have
seen it at a distance. From the waist
up it vas dressed IL white. At times
it seemed to be floating in the air near
the ground. Again it would lean
against a tree or fence. Sometimes
it would appear as though approach
ing the parties, but before getting in
speaking distance it would disappear
to bob up at some other point. 1t has
only visited the Sharp family, but is
claimed that several neighbors have
seen it.
