SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 3d.
Awaiting death in condemned
cell in the state penitentiary OF
Folsom is a man believed to be
the only criminal in America for
whom a special section was added
to the criminal code of his state
that he might be hung.
Officially he is designated as
mo. 11,244"; among prison Mt
taches he has gained the sobri-
quet of "The Demon of Murder
ers' Row; outside prison walls
he Is known as Jacob Oppenhei-
mer.
The section added to the penal
code of California for the sole
purpose of fitting his case makes
it capital offense to assault n
fellow prisoner or a guard while
an inmate of penal institution.
The legislature was driven to its
passage by the fact that Open
heimer had killed one fellow in
mate at Folsom, and had made
seven murderous assaults on
guards, some of whom he manned
for life.
Oppenheimer started his career
of crime in San Francisco when a
messenger boy. He shot the SUI
perintendent who discharged him,
but escaped punishment for this
crime because of his youth. He
was only IA.
Three years later, with three
well-known criminals, he was ar
rested for robbing a drug store.
One of them, Ross, turned states
evidence, and escaped. Open
heimer was given a 5O-year term.
When sentence was passed upon
him he rose to his feet and shout
ed to Superior Judge Greene, the
trial jurist:
"You gray-headed old villain. I
could stand on my head that
long"
Oppenheimer had been at Fol-
som but a few months when the
same Ross whose testimony had
sent Oppenheimer to jail was sent
to the institution for another Of
Tense. Oppenheimer met him at
the prison gate and as he entered
plunged a knife into his heart.
That's the way to treat u
squealer," he growled, as Ross fell
dead at his feet.
After this murder in prison for
which he was given a life term,
he became veritable fiend. lie
was placed in solitary confine-
ment, but he assaulted every
guard who came near him, and
seven employees of the state will
wear scars for life as the result
of encounters with this human IT,
ger. One day John Summers, a
guard, opened the door of Open
heimer's cage to hand him food.
without a word of warning OPP
penheimer sprang upon him and
would have strangled him had not
assistance arrived. Summers lay
for months in the prison hospital.
After his recovery Oppenhetmer
was sentenced to die under the
law that had been passed to fit
his case.

the steamer Ohio of the Alaska
Steamship company, which sank

from Captain John Johnson and
Chief Engineer e. w. Raymond,
who arrived In Seattle today from
the scene of the wreck. Many
confiicting stories regarding the
actual details of the disaster have
been related and Captain Johnson
was asked to give his story of the
occurrence.
1.-The accident could not have
been avoided" said the captain.
IAN unchartered pinnacle rock

closer than usual to port shore, we
were on our course.

house with me were Third Officer
Johannsen, Captain Snow and AL

wheel The night was extreme
ly dark.
Captain Snow looked out and
then turned to me asking: DO
you think our course is right?'
replied that / thought we were a
little closer to the port shore than
usual. A moment after I gave
the command to throw the helm to
port we felt the bottom of the
steamer grind. At that time we
were running at the rate of about
II knots an hour. 1 stopped the
engine, but Immediately ordered It

place around there that we could

them IN position to receive pas
sengers In the event that the boat

of them rushed to the decks, but
