A STRANGE SENTENCE.
Punishment For Murder That Was
More Cruel Than Death.

EuuloumouE FoF MuTQgF NUAk VIZ
More Cruel Than Death.
In 1901 a man died In the Catskills
who had been condemned by one or
the strangest sentences on record.
Ralph Sutherland was born in l7Ol and
lived In a stone house near Leeds. he
was a man OF violent temper and mo-
rose disposition, Stunned by bis neigh
bors and generally disliked- Not be-
ing able to get an American servant.
he imported q scOtchwoman, and, ac-
cOrding TO the usages Of the times, vIr-
tually held her In bondage until her
passage money had been refunded.
Unable TO endure any longer the
raging temper Of her master, the girl
ran away. Immediately upon discov-
ering her absence the man set Oh IN
an angry chase upon his horse and
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 seafiOld
Then came the plea Of the insudi-
cheney OF circumstantial evidence and
the efforts Of influential relatives.
These so worked upon the court that
the Judge delayed the sentence OF
death until the prisoner should be
ninety-nlne years old.
II was ordered that the culprit
should be released on his own rec0g-
nizance and that, pending the hnal ex-
ecution Of his sentence, he should keep
a hangman's moose about his neck and
show himself before the judges Of
Catsklll once a year to prove that he
wore his badge OF infamy and kept
his crime In mind. 1t was a more
cruel decision than the sentence Of Inn
mediate death would have been, but
It was no doubt In harmony with the
spirit OF the times.
Thus Ralph Sutherland lived he al
way ANCu AAgnSe AAN NSiAVh HPNH~f
His rough. imperious manner bad
gone. Years followed years. At each
session OF the court the broken man
came before the bar OF justice and ST.
lently showed the moose that circled
his neck.
At last his ninety-ninth 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 tottered before the Judges
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 bis
life so intimately to the expiation OF
his crime was now legally removed.
But the spirit Of self punishment
continued, and when Sutherland, after
be had passed his hundredth year. was
discovered dead. alope In bis, house, his
throat was found "a, be encircled. by

assigning them to tasks of more or
less magnitude, and paying lavishly
fer anything of value; and to bis OBJ
scure place there came divers men
when night time offered the Cloak of
darkness to the furtiye.
Seigo's most valuable ally was one
Meredith. of English parentage, and a
man who for years resided on Cross
street, Paterson, N. j., that unfor-
tunate city whose very industry and
reacefulness had made it the gather
ing place OF the Reds. Meredith was
machinist by trade, and an employe
of supply house; SO it was not sur
prising that he brought news of
strange and unusual purchases made
through many sources by the United
States government. In this there was
nothing alarming, and it was rather
with curiosity that the astute de-
scendant of Samurai looked over
these reports and vaguely wondered
whether they might have bearing on
war. He was sufficiently painstaking
to ask for others and check them up;
but in this he gained nothing beyond
the certainty that the navy depart,
ment, while existing in state of
seeming stagnation. was inwardly
very active. He made many trips to
the points where these purchases
were made, but found them innocuous
in so far as he could reason.
AS time went on, however, he found
that the greater portion of these ship
ments were being sent to Miami, Fla.
and was driven to the final conclusion
that If the government was active in
any way at all. the key must be at the

Nippon, the home of the Samurai,
in her adoption of newer methods had
not permitted her secret service de-

Modelled on those lines which had
made the intelligence bureau of Rus
sia one of the most effective in the
entire world, and profiting by the pub
licity given to nearly every movement
of Importance in the United States,
she was minutely informed of all that
had been and was taking place in the
country she hoped to overcome. She
had depended upon this knowledge as
a valued factor for the subjugation of
the American colossus, not foreseeing
that country capable of closing it's
doors to the world would also find
means to circumvent foreign agents
To the last minute she relied upon her
emissaries In nearly all the larger
cities of America under the direction
OF Count Seigo.

Away back in the ttsnc of the Tolu
gawa Shogunate, when the almost in
vincible leader Seigo was an idol to
the youth Of Satsuma to be toppled
over only in the civil war Of 1877, his
son was being educated in leading
American university. The downfall
Of the father practically exiled the lad

sert itself, when by progressive steps

positions in affairs of state. His
knowledge of the American political
situation was complete and accurate.
and 70 man was better informed on
the strength and weakness of the re-
public.
1t had been largely through his ad
vice that the dispute between the two
nations, trivial in itself but porten-
tous in possibilities, had been used as
pretext for war. Thoroughly con-
versant with congressional methods
in the United Stetes, he had watched
year by year the quibblings of legis
lators over naval bills which usually
ended in inadequate appropriations.
OF broader mind that they, he had
long foreseen that country which
had come into distant colonial posses

navy and augment it's efficiency, ex-
pend money in unremitting streams
for maintenance, and stimulate its
men to seek individual excellence in

There is certain couple who de-

gunnery and drill. He had observed
the growth of conceit, which, like rI.st
beneath coat of paint, led men to
believe SO devoutly in American nu-
periority that they neglected to ana
lyze the actual power which could
positively be developed. By process
of elimination he estimated the fight
ing value of the American navy, dis
carding vessels still in service but
obGolete, and others still on paper but
looked upon by the unsophisticaten as
a part of the nations strength. Ma
tional prowess he regarded as small
factor when granting equality.
Seigo's observations had been so
careful and his conclusions so logical,
that reports sent to and passed upon
by the elder statesmen Of Japan had
led them to feel certain of victory
long before war was declared. Nor
had his predictions in the opening
events been unfulfilled - True he had
not expected the abandonment of the
Philippines; but he had confidently
foretold the period of torpidity, of con-
fusion ana lack of cohesion, which had
followed. 1t was with satisfaction,
therefore, that he observed the trend of
events when hostilities were finally
declared, and from the quietude of his
study saw the whole country waiting
for the government. to act while ap-
parently it remained somnolent.
/ The surrender of the islands came
as the first perplexing problem fer
which he could neither account nor
understand, and his activities prior to
that event were nothing when COM
pared with those subsequent. He was
too adroit ever to have appeared as a
laborer IL the limelight. and was
therefore eminently fitted. to drop from
sight at the outbreak, when his fell
low countrymen were leaving by hun
dreds seeking places of refuge across

the border lines north and south or
embarking on the high seas for for
eign ports. Singularly enough, race
prejudice in the eastern states had
never reached the point of acute dis
elimination which made the denizens
Of that section classify the japanese
and Chinese in one broad category as
orientals; it was therefore easy for
Seigo to don the garb of laundry
man in the city of Washington, i'm
provise pigtail, and without inter.
ruption assume to pursue this voca-
tion.
Fertile of resource, he readily dis
covered that in situation where an
archy might thrive the followers Of
the red flag would be his most val
liable spies. Without difficulty he
allied himself with this element, and
gained friendly footing with them by
ostensibly favoring the advancement
of their cause in Russian domains
Their confidence in him was strength
ened by the fact that he was accom-
plished in their language, which he
spohe HueHtiy, anu was llOerdi COIL
tributor to their treasury.
Having thus ingratiated himself
the next step was made easy. He se-
lected such tools from the ranks OF
these malcontents as seemed best
fitted to his hands, and thereby es-
tablished means of securing news
that would have been impossible in
any other way. From his little hovel
he directed these men as seemed best,
