IT seems that Mrs. Stanley's charge
that Gov. Hook, of Kansas, attempted
to kiss her-lo! these many months
ago-came very near defeating him in
the late canvass for reelection. The
charge was made just before the Re.
pnblicans re-nominated him, and the
whitewash appears to have quite
obliterated the offense. In fact, it is
said that the only fault found by that
astute body. tho nominating conven-
ton, against the Governor, was that
the charge against him ended in
simply an attempt.

Seymour harrington, aged 45, has

Mccain his benefactOr, is his alleg-

harrington lured him out into a
desolate spot in St. Louis-co. slew
him, than came back and tried to

harrington has been exposed as a

40 he was not out of prison a whole

Barton is his real name, and he
was born in Tunbridge Wells. Eng.
His first sentence was five years in
a reformatory for ENLIGHTENMENT.
Robbing benefa ctors seems to have
been the keynote of the mans life.
He went back to prison for steal
ing his masters watch. A burglary
was his next stunt, but he cut down
his term by getting out on forged
pardon papers. He married an Eng
fish girl, quickly dissipated her
property and went back to prison
for burglary.
Then Barton chose the United

rate, after much pleading, Barring
ton one night got Mccain to take
a trolley ride with him to the lone
ly neighborhood around Bonfils sta
ton. The ruse was that Mccain
was to witness some legal papers.
They left the car and walked to the
brow of a cliff overhanging an old
quarry. At midnight railroad
crossing Waterman nearly a mile
away heard McCann's dying pray
ers for mercy and two shots.
The Englishman walked to St.
Louis, wearing McCann's hat, coat
and watch, and told a laborious
story of having been attacked with
Mccain by gang of crooks who
had enticed them there. Mccain,
he said, would reappear in due time
At first his story was believed, but
when the naked body of Mccain
was found in the quarry pond, with
two bullet holes in it and throat
cut, Darlington was arrested and
easily convicted on circumstatial
evidence.
He has never confessed the muir
der, and the recent discovery of
skeleton near the scene of the
crime has been seized upon by him
10 suggest that it is the body of one
of the robbers who was wounded
in the fight with him and Mccain.
The police think it just as likely
that 1t is the remains of a former
victim of harrington.

He is a reformer, but says he's

lots of democrats say he is not a

to politicians, but who has made
