Presumably TO Wear at Bls Trial. Wlich
Higgins Before Coz ON December 3.

Harry Il. ThaW in the Tombs yesterday
ordered three suits OF clothes. This was
taken TO mean that he intends to veal
them at his trial and that no move will
be made to nave him declared insane.
Thaw is ANXIOUS TO have the trial as 500
al possible.
The announcement that the trial will
be held before Recorder Goff in General
Sessions beginning December , sur
prised mi persons. because Recorder
God will become a member of the Supreme
Court bench Oh January |. II was thought
hat the trial would take up more han
a month and that il might run over into
the next year.
The opinion OF the District Attorneys
Office Is hat the trial. for a big murder
trial. should not last so very long. The
prosecution will not introduce any eX-
traneous matter and District Attorney
Jerome expects to conduct the case for
the people with despatch. An effort will
be made to keep the trial from being a
bippodrome. or as near a ~hippodroIne as
some big trials in recent years.
II il expected thar the defence will be
lengthy, but Recorder Goff Is not opposed
to holding night sessions. and il is said hat
this will be done should there be indica-
tions that the trial would last over Christ
mas.

NOTED MASON DEAD.
Widely Known Masonic Librarian
Martyr to His Work.

George Peabody Rupp, noted as a libra
rian and literary man of brilliant attain
ments, and widely known as an authority
upon Masonic subjects. died yesterday
morning at the Jewish Hospital, in Phila-
delphia- He had been a sufferer from
Brights disease for some time
Mr.. Rupp was stricken in the prime of
life, not yet having attained his fft.eth
year. Endowed with mental powers of an
unusual order and with a remarka BILE
knowledge of literature, his death was
great shock to his many friends in this
city.
Mr.. Rupp's death was attributed to over
work, which, in the opinion of his physi-
clan, DR.. M ]. Stern. aggravated the dis
ease from which he was suffering When
Mr.. Rupp assumed charge of the notable
Franklin exhibition at Masonic Temple re-
Gently, DR.. Stern warned him that the re-
sponsibility would be too much for him.
But he insisted upon looking after every
detail of the exhibition, working day and
night to make 1t the success that 1t was
He superintendent personally the catalogue
ing of the numerous exhibits many of
which he secured himself from their own
ers, who were 10th to run the risk OF hav-
ing them exhibited publicly. Since the ex-
hibition Mr.. Rupps health had grown rap
idly worse. His friends say it charac-
teristic Of the man to sacrifice his health
to the work he loved so we'll.
Mr.. Rupp also had charge of the Wash
ington exhibition at Masonic Temple, which
excited SO much interest two or three years
ago.
His ability librarian was so recog-
nized that he was selected by the board Of
education to organize free library system
in Philadelphia. 1t was he who formed a
chain OF free libraries from which develop
ed, under his careful management, the sys-
tenn of free circulating libraries that Phila-
delphians enjoy today.
Having already made a thorough study
of Masonic subjects, Mr.. Rupp now had
access to one of the most remarkable col
lections of Masonic works in the world He
devoted much Of his time to these works
and he wrote extensively regarding the
subjects of which they related. At the
time OF his death he was famous In Mason
les circles the world over as an authority
upon Masonic subjects. which had become
a veritable hobby with him.
His knowledge of literature was also
thorough and unusual. Possessing re-
tentive memory Mr.. Rupp would often
amaze even those who were closest to him
by his remarkable faculty for discussing
infinitely the most obscure literary works
He was prolific writer. contributing
many essays and critical reviews to literary
magazines every year. Unmarried, his en-
tire life, from boyhood. was devoted to the
books he loved and knew SO well.

was horrifying, but this falls into
insigniicance when one reads the
following:
Monk Gibson. charged with hav-
ing murdered the Conditt family
and who is in Jail here, was tortur-
ed, stripped and bound to the
floor; the lash fell across his back
until the flesh was cut and he
tainted, but he remained steaIfast
in his last statement. He was al
lowed to recover and was fed we'll.
Again he was examined" Men
wearing large Texas spurs jumped
upon his prostrate body. He
screamed in pain and begged for
mercy. He said he had told all he
knew. He prayed aloud in his
cell, asking God to assist the Off
GERS in their search for the guilty
persons, in order that he might be
cleared. The authorities did not
believe his story. He was tortur-
ed again. This time a moose was
prepared and he was strung up un-
til his eyes bulged from the sock
cts SO horribly that even the hard
ened officers of Texas justice turn
ed away. The boys tongue pro-
truded from his swollen lips and
he lost consciousness and when he

recovered still steadfast, he lay
near death for weeks.
Gov Lanham then ordered Tex
as Rangers, under Captain Nc
Donald, to save the boy from fur
ther torture. Officers and guards
had started with the boy across
the country to escape lynching
and the boy escaped. He was re-
taken by squad of rangers and
Captain Mcdonald reached the
conclusion that the boy was inno-
cent The rangers were chased
by a mob, but they managed to land
their prisoner in jail, where he
was strung mp by the thumbs. At
night his agonizing screams drove
his mother, who was taken to the
same Jail violently insane.
Monk Gibson was indicted on
the charge of murder, and his trial
was transferred to San Antonio.
