WILL BE HANGED.
Date for Execution of Lord Barring
ton is Set.

ION Is Set.
A decision was handed down in the
! supreme court at Jefferson City. Mo-,
Wednesday affirming the decision Of
the lower court in finding Lord" Sey-
dered John P. Mccain in st. Louis
two years ago, and fixing the date Of
his execution for March Is next.
A st. Louis special says: Lord"
Darlington is one Of the most interest
ing figures ever brought before the
criminal courts Of this city. He is a
man of undisputed brilliancy Of intel
lect, but he has devoted his talents to
crime since he was boy.
When arrested the bogus lord was
identified as the notorious Barton.
sometimes known under the equally
notorious alias Suydenham, wanted in
London by the Scotland Yard detect
ives for many crimes, among them the
alleged murder Of an English army Of
ficer. He has done time in several
prisons in England.
With nothing to back his word but
a charming personality and an appar-
emily inexhaustibls supply Of ready
cash, Darlington, or Barton, came to
st. Louis and announced himself as an
English lord and major Of the Horse
Guards of the HOUSEHOLD troops. He
obtained a place in the most exclusive
society of st. Louis without question.
At a social affair at the home of
one of the aristocratic members Of So
Cochran, Of Kansas City, and soon
they were married. This was the first
downfall of the bogus lord. The
brother of his bride doubted the sto-
ries of the newcomer, investigated and
found that Darlington was criminal
with a long prison record, and had
been married twice before, all three of
his wives being alive and undivorced.
The false nObleman served a term in
jail and then got job in a saloon,
where he met Mccain.
The victim Of the st. Louis murder,
Mccain, a st. Louis race follower and
hotel owner, was not Barrington's en-
my and was never known to have
crossed Darlington. On the contrary.
Mccain was his benefactor: had fur
nished means for his release from the
workhouse; had taken him into his
home; had given him money; had
shared his profits on the races with
him.
AS to the motive. the police say it
was robbery, inasmuch as Barring
ton stole winning tickets from the
dead mans body amounting to $751;
The murder took place in lonely spot
near Bonfils.
