ABOUT TO HANG FOR MURDER OF A FRIEND
Life of Crime and Adventure Extending Over
Two Continents to End on the Gallows-
His Quest for an American Heiress.

He was at liberty long enough this
time to make his first matrimonial VEN
ture. He married an English girl, got
possession of all of her property and
deserted her. 1t seemed impossible for
him to keep out Of prison, and on Oc-
tober 81 he was again sentenced at the
Maidstone assizes to ten years penal
servttude and seven years police su-
pervision for burglary. After serving
out the full ten years he made his way
across the Atlantic ocean to try his
hand at crime in America.

He turned up In Brooklyn as Sir
Frederick Sydenham Burgoyne. He
was suave of manner and spoke Eng
lisn. Spanish. German, French and
other foreign languages fiuently. He
was OF a studious turn Of mind and
had spent his years of prison life In
the mastery Of foreign tongues. So
when ne described, In his faultless
English, the beauties of his imaginary
villa In Burgess Hill, Kent. to Celeste
Elizabeth Miller, Brooklyn, she was
ready to believe him. That was In
1891. Miss Miller married him and re-
turred with him to England. after
having disposed Of all Of her property.
She went with him to London, where
she lived with him for a few sad
weeks. He rented an apartment and

more skilfully. No eye had seen him
fire the fatal shot. Only faithful rail-
road Waterman mile away had heard
the two reports Of the pistol and the
dying appeal of Mccain for mercy.
B1t here his hand lost its cunning.
Cleyerness Of plotting gave way to
bung'ing. harrington proceeded, with
appalling stupidity, to wind enough
circumstantial evidence about himself
to hang 20 men. Covered with stains,
wearing the murdered mans hat and
coat, carrying his cane, with McCann's
watch, money and papers In his pock-
cts, he turned at that midnight hour to
retrace his steps to St Louis The last
street car had gone, and he started to
walk. Daylight overlook him before
the journey was finished. Upon reach
ing the suburbs of the city he proceed
ed on a car to the Mccain home. He
removed the clothing and gave 1t to
porter to hang on fence In plain view
Of the first detective who came along.
He invented a remarkable story to
eyplain McCann's disappearance. He
told Mrs. McCann that her husband
got into fight with two men at the
summer garden and drove away with
some women In carriage. He himself
had been knocked down defending Nc
Cam and lay in gutter all night. So
plausibly did he tell the story that
Mrs. McCann was deceived for several
days, and even SO shrewd detective
as Chief William Desmond believed 1t
when harrington was arrested on sus-
piclon of being responsible for the dis
appearance Of McCann. On the strength
of his tale harrington was released.
but was rearrested June 81. when the
body of Mccain was discovered foat-
ing on the surface Of the quarry pond.
In his bunglesome attempt to hide
the crime Darlington wrote letters pur-
porting to come from McCann and had
them delivered to Mrs. McCann by
messenger boys. When arrested he
stoutly denied the crime. He viewed
the body after II was taken from the
quarry pond and insisted that It was
not that Of Mccain. He hoped that
the prosecution would not be able to
prove q corpus delecti. He declared
McCann had gone away and would TO
turn some day.
Hc was tried In the Clayton circuit
court and sentenced 70 death. A stran-
ger from Arkansas sent him the money
to appeal his case to the supreme
court.

cor in India somewhat similar to that
