Merry LIFE IN PRISON.
Convicts at Jackson, Mich, Get Day
OF to See Circus, Ex-Deputy

jackson, Mich. July 2l.-When the cir
Gus came to town a short time ago the
convicts in the state penitentiary were set
free for a day by Warden AlonZo Vincent
to take in the show. AT least, former
Deputy Warden I'oote and James Hazard
OF Detroit. an e~x-conr.ct. told Governor
Warner so today. Foote and Hazard,
h have become angry at Vincent, said
all the %convicts came back when the cir
Gus was over. because they had a better

where else. In a ommunication to the en-
cCutive they declared affairs at the prison
were being run III d most amazing man

According to the complainants. the cir.

Another charge is that a large number
of convicts are morphine caters. Hazard
asserts morphine is obtained from the
prison hospital wards and sold to the

ANOTHER BANK FAILS
City National Of Kansas City Is Forced
to the Wall by the Devlin
Failure.

Kansas City. July 22.-The City Ma.
tional bank failed to open its doors to-
day. The bark held paper of C. j.
Devlin of Topeka to the o Of up
wards of 500, 900, and the failure is a
direct result of the closing of the First
National bank of Topeka of which Dcv-
lin was the principal stakeholder.
The only other bank in Kansas City
which was caught in the failure of the
First National bank of Topeka was the
American National bank of Kansas
City, which is said to hold upwards of
5000, 600 Of DeVlin's paper. 1t was stated
positively today by "A leading banker
that other Kansas City Institutions
would not permit this ban to fail.
There was no appearance of a run on
other banks at the opening hour today.
The City National bank was organ
lied in 1900. Its capital is $500, 600 and
it has deposits of Sl.4I6.64S. Edward
SreDO is president and James Il.
Stream cashier.
Some time ago the comptroller of he
currency at Washington instructed Of
fcers of the City National bank to re
pair its capital. This was lone by Dor
,owing from local capitalists. Follow
ing the failure of the First National, Il
Kansas City capitalist became in
slstant upon the payment Of his loan
and this demand caused the officers of
ihe city N~atiOna! to decide upon clos
ing their institution.
Comptroller Ordered 1t.
The bank was, closed under instruc-
iiors from the comptroller of cur
reNcy. The comptroller had yesterday,
it is stated. informed the officers Of the
bank thai it must take VI 5000, 600 of
bad paper Immediately or they would
not be permitted to open today. The
bank was examined last night by 4
committee of local bankers who re-
ported at a meeting early today that
the affairs of the institution We're in
such shape they would not feel justified
in extending assistance. although
holding of DeVlin paper upon which no
immediate realization could be made
WAS the Prime cause of the failure, it
is stated that general Knowledge that

DEATH DECREED FOR
FATHER AT A COUNCIL

Parent Because He Was
Best Shot.
MOTHER DEFENDS BoY
Widow Does Not Grieve for Husband
of rs Years, Who. She Says,
Threatened to Kill Her and
Whom Her Son Killed.

st. Louis, July 2O.-At the inquest
held by Coroner f. M. Irwin at Belle
vile yesterday on the body of George
Wild, who was shot and killed by his
son Albert at their home near Casey-
vile, ILL.,, Friday night, the evidence
was that the two brothers, Albert and
George, had discussed the advisability
OF killing their father, n decided
which or the two hould do the deed.
Because Albert. the younger brother.
was the best shot, and owned the best
gun, 1t was determined that he should
shoot the father, the elder brother.
George Wild. testified. They had
reached the conclusion that, Tor the
safety of their mother. themselves
the rest of the family, their father must
be killed. They talked the matter over
thoroughly. They finally resolved that
the next time their father ill-treated
their mother or any of the family he
should be killed by Albert.
This testimony, given by George
Wild, is supported by the fact that ne
was iii the room when Albert shot
his father, and that he maze no effort
TO prevent the deed. The two brothers
sat together in Judgment on the ia
ther and returned against him a SEN
tence OF death at the OUNCE brothers.
hands.
Coroner's Jury Holds Son.
The jury returned a verdict of death
from a gunshot wound, and held AL
bert Wild responsible. He is now in
custody awaiting the action OF the
grand jury. III
The teeling at Caseyvine and Belle
Vile is strongly in favor of the son.
The citizens OF Caseyyiile say that they
have been expecting a murder at the
Wild home for some time, and they
were not in the least surprised Friday
night when the news OF the shooting
came.
The business men of Caseyville give
young Wild a good name. The say
he is industrious and sober and OF q
quiet disposition.
Mother Will Defend Son.
Mrs. Wild, the mother, will defend
her son Albert at the preliminary hear
ing, which Will probably be held In a
day or two.
She talks freely of the shooting.
She justifies her sons act. She is not
very sorry that he killed his father. Her
only regret is the trouble the deed has
brought to her son
Il am not sorry that my husband
was killed." she said yesterday at her
attractive home near Caseyville, but
/ pray that Albert ma be released. He
was driven to desperation by the
threats Of his father, who certainly
would have killed us IL Albert had not
killed him..
From the time that my husband and
l were married. twenty-five years ago.
until four months ago., we were happy.
Then the curse of drink got hold of him
and he became a different man.
