startling statement made today by
Rev. D. H. Carrick, who has just re-
signed from the pastorate of the
North Lawrence Christian church.
Mr.. Carrick has accepted position
with the Lawrence Street Railway
company as a conductor.
The public never sees behind the
screen of ths pastors home,' said
Mr.. Carrick, cor 1t might realize the
trials. the griefs. the pains which the
pastor and his wife are forced to bear.
A minister's wife cannot even make
a pretense of dressing or dining we'll
or the people will think they are pay
ing the pastor too much, or that he
ought to save part Of HIS salary and
give 1t to the missions. He cannot
put on a pair of patent leather shoes
without every single person who has
contributed toward his salary looking
at them as II to say. I helped pay for
those shoes .e>

can live really honest life. II he
breaches the truth he will be con-
demhing the lives of most Of his con-
gregation and offending them.

Fellow Cellmen Fought Over

SECURED RAZOR WHICH WAS
USED WITH FATAL RESULTS
Drew Victims Head Backward and
Repeatedly slashed at the ,lck I'm.

Philadelphia, Oct. AFTER a saw
age fight for the possession of a chunk
of hard black bread, Anton Zachish,
this morning, in his cell in the county
prison at Holmesburg, with the blade
of a razor, almost severed the head
from the body of his cellmate, Pietro
Giambrone.
Matthew Hastings, a keeper in the
prison, had tossed the chunk of bread
between the bars of the cell and
passed on down the corridor. At 1920
o'clock Zachish grabbed the bread.
He broke the loaf into two parts. His
division OF the extra food, doled out
to the prisoners every Friday. was
not satisfactory to Giambrone.
Both men were in jail for the same
crime, aggravated assault committed
during moment Of ungovernable pas
sion. There was short dispute. In
an instant both we're transferred from
quiet prisoners into wild beasts. There
was a razor on the bench of the cell,
passed in by a guard few minutes
before so that the prisoners might
shave.
Fierce Battle for Razor.
With murder in his heart, each pris-
oner dove for the weapon. It was ly-
Ing on the bench. Giambrone reached
the razor first and grabbed the handle.
His cellmate seized the blade, and, his
hand dripping blood, fought wildly
with the man he wanted to kill.
Suddenly the blade was wreched
away from it's handle by an extra
pull by Zachish, and, with q savage
laugh of triumph that Keeper Hast
ings heard far down the corridor, the
victorious combatant seized his oD-
poneIt with his-.left, hand, .anti with
all the force Of a. maniac, buried the
razor in Giambrone's throat, drawing
the weapon backwards and forwards
until the jugular vein and the wind
pipe had been severed.
Hurryfng towards the sounds of the
struggle Hastings arrived at the cell
door just in time to see Zachish rise
from the body of his victim. The body
was lying in blood. and as Zachish
turned toward the keeper Hastings
shrank back in horror.
What have you done?" he gasped.
Still breathing hard from the strug-
gle, Zachish said: "I've killed the
-, that's ALL"
ACCORDING 10 hastings description
the body of the murdered man was
lying diagonally across the narrow
cell, and in his right hand was still
clenched the handle of the razor he
had fought for.
As Zachish stood still. staring first
at the keeper and then at his victim,
q realization of what he had done
slowly came to him as the wave of
feenzy that had prompted the deed
slowly disappeared from his mind.

the body of Giambrone. After his first
statement he did net say word, but
stood, apparently dazed, while other

Jonathan Miller paid the penalty
of the death of Robert Conway with
the same stoical resignation which
had marked the end of many a man
in the same extremity. With his
death the case seemed at an end and
it passed from my mind along with
many other cases which have arisen
in a long and busy career. I probably
never again would have recalled it
