PuUo4H09oUe toe Murder Ihoe WA

n 1cO1 . man died In the CatskillS
who had been condemned by one Of
the strangest sentences on record
Ralph Sutherland was born In 1901 and
lived n . stone house near Leeds. He
was man of violent temper and mo-
rose disposition. shunnesl by his neigh
bors and generally dlsliked Not be-
ing able TO Ut an American servant.
he imported eco(chwoman, and. &C.
cording TO thu usages Of tie times. vir-
tually held her In bondage until her
passage money had been refunded.
Unable TO endure any longer tho
raging temper Of her master. the girl
nan away. Immediately upon discov-
esing her Absence the man Get "a In
IN angry chase upon his horse anu
soon overlook her. The poor woman
never reached the house alive. aud
Sutherland was indicted and arrested
on the charge Of murder.
At the trial he tried to prove that
bis horse had taken fright, run away.
pitched him out Of the saddle and
dashed the girl to death upon the
rocks. but the jury did not accept the
defense, and Sutherland was sentenced
to die upon the scaffold.
Then came the plea OF the insuii,-
cheney Of circumstantial evidence and
the efforts Of influential relatives.
Thcse 20 worked upon the court that
the Judge delayed tho sentence Of
death until the prisoner should b.
ninety -nIne years old.
II was ordered that the culprlt
should be released on his own recog.
nizance and that. pending the dnal ey-
ecution Of his sentence. he should keep
q hangmnn's moose about his neck and
show himself before the judges OF
Catskill once a year to prove that he
wore his badge OF infamy and kept
his crime in mind. II was more
cruel decision than the sentence OF I'm
mediate death would have been. but
II was no doubt In harmony with the
spirit OF the times.
Thus Ralph Sutherland lived. He al. |
ways lived alone. He seldom spoke.
His rough. Imperious manner had |
gone. Years followed years. At each |
session OF the court the broken man
came before the bar OF justice and II
lently showed tho moose that circied
his neck. t
At last his ninety year came.
the time when the court had ordered
that the utmost penalty Of the law
should be executed. For the last time
the man tottercd before the judgc's
bench. but new Judges had arisen IN
the land. new laws had been made. old
crimes had been forgotten or forgiven.
and there was none who would accuse
him or execute sentence. Indeed. the
awful restriction that had bound his
lie 10 intimately TO the expiation OF
,ls crime WINS now legally removed.
But the spirit Of self punishment
sontinued. and when Sutherland. after
Ne had passed his hundredth year. was

that General Custer received two
bullets, one back of the ear and the
other just above the collar bone.

shot that killed the general was fired
at such close range as to blacken
the victims face with powder. The
body of Tom Custer was mutilated,
