Taking Up Mr.. Burie's statements in
connection with the electric light de-
partment, Mr.. Hselow answered the for-
ner mayors charges that the city
schools are not lsated from the munich

int or before My. Burkcs tenure
lie said he would decline ar
ignore utterly the challenge which
MIR. Burke had issued to meet him IN
public debate. All citizens have n
right to doubt the sincerity of the
former mayors motives when his
cXcCTtive acts are brought to light.
Let Mr.. Burke stand on his own
record.

that trivial matter know that II is

 There has always been a double mystery in the matter of the Hawkins case. In the first place, the police never learned who had put them on the clew that resulted in obtaining the evidence on which Hawkins was con- vlcted. In the scond place, it has never been established whether Hawkins really saw negro present the mo- ment before he died or was so wrought upon by his approaching end as to see him in imagination. The officials de- clared that no permission to be pres ent was given to any negro. All those who were there declared that there was no negro among them.
 There is a possible explanation. About the time that Nolan was cleo trocuted it was asserted by physicians that such subjects do not die of cleo tricity, but under the knife at the sub- seQuent autopsy. This opinion was In measure supported by the discovery that life is usually present in the body long while after all appearance of it has vanished. These doctors made ap- plication to be permitted to experi- ment on an electrocuted body and were flatly refused by the sheriff. It is well known that Nolan's counsel was convinced of his innocence. It is also fact that the lawyer was on in- innate terms with the sheriff. It has been whispered that with the sheriffs connivance the doctors were permit ted to steal Nolan's body and that they resuscitated it. This is the only theory that fits into all the conditions. If Nolan lived again he could not de- clare himself without bringing a swarm of hornets about the sheriff, who had saved him from a felons death. Disguised as a negro he might have worked up case against his enemy. But did he witness the exc cution, and, if so, how did he get in? DONALD CHAMBERLAIN.

 Hawkins saw no more of the negro but heard of him. The negro was evl- dently making inquiries concerning him.
