Eugene Wood, in "The Old-Time Re

lows the "circuit-ridersn who used TO dis
tribute religion to our forbears:
Never before was there such a spread

that converted Europe were but a feeble

these circuit-riders. As one of them has
said, they murdered the kings English
at every lick, but they had power given
unto them TO move the hearts of men.
such power as we can only estimate bv

Cartwright calls il. Says he: L did not

Moscow, Idaho, May 22.-"Thomas
Fields it is the judgement Of this court
that you be imprisoned at the state
penitentiary at hard labor for the per.
iod of your natural life." As these
words fell from the lips Of Judge Steele
in the district court, Thomas Fields,
the self confessed murderer of Fred
Fields and attempted slayer of Isaac
Fields, stood erect, with head high in
the air and face slightly flushed, but
without the quiver Of a muscle
Fields had Just finished telling the
court the story Of the crime. 1t differed
from his original confession only in
the declaration he made today that he
did not go to his hiding place with
murder in his heart. Today he said
he was there Watching some cattle to
see if his steer was in the bunch; that
he saw Fred Fields start back to the
house. From this he said he thought
Fred Fields had seen him and was 60
ing for q gun to kill him.
He offered no explanation of why he
shot the old man, save that it was due
to e4citemOnt.
Tom Fields had scarcely taken his
seat after the sentence Of the court was
finished when Judge Steele spoke, in a
firm voice. "Mr. Fields. come forward
and shake hands" at the Same time
extending his hand over the bench.
"God bless you, said the judge as he
grssped the hand of the prisoner.
"God bless you, too. judge" replied
Fields, with almost as much feeling, If
not in as loud voice.
As Fields turned he was brought
face to face with his victim 3 widow.
Mrs. Fields had already extended her
hand to the man who had broken her
heart. and, with the bland smile that
is characteristic Of him, Fields grasped
her hand, and for moment these two
stood silently, Mrs. Fields with bowed
head, q picture of forgiveness.
Old man Fields shook hands with
the court. bnt did not offer his hand to
the prisoner.
