A string of nine conyicts chained
together, attracted much attention
yesterday at noon as they were be-
ing taken through the heart of the
city from the county Jail to the B.
& o. depot enroute to the peniten-
tiary at Moundsville, in charge of
guards Maxwell and Sawyers. They
were all from Mercer county, destin-
ed to serve terms of various lengths,
none however being over four years.
In the very heart of the string,
his wrists fast in manacles to the
chain, that held them all together,
was Sam Medley, a negro who has
for the past FIVE years been in jail
fighting for his life which was order
ed taken away from him for the un-
provoked murder of white man at a
dance in Mercer county years ago.
He was on his last trip, having a sec
ond time been sentenced to hang,
the last order of execution being is
sued at Princeton and he will be ex-
ecuted April 18th, unless another
stay is secured. He has already had
three trials. Fifteen minutes before
the guards came for him yesterday,
he was singing and dancing in his
cell and left the county Jail laugh
ing, knowing that he was going to
his execution.

Richmond, Va, ian. a4.-Gov-
ernor Swanson, in a special message
to the legislature today, advised that
Virginia should claim from the fed
eral government portion of the $780,
900, 200 derived from thesale ofpub-

ginia ceded to the. United States
from which were formed the states

propriated to local uses within the
states created, in substance, about
$50, 700, 900 derived from their sale.
This, he says, was contrary to the
terms of the cession of the territory.

ton.

HOW PACKERS TRICK PUBLIC.

Youngstown, Ohio, Jan. 2O.-A
Youngstown meat dealer who oper-
ates markets in this city, in Niles,
o., and in Sharon, Pa, said today
that at meeting recently held in
Cambridge Springs, Pa, in which
big dealers met with packers agents
to discuss the situation in this ter
ritory, an agent of Kansas City pack
ing house said his firm had in cold
storage 5000 beef carcasses. These
carcasses had been held in reserve
for two years, awaiting just such an
opportunity as now presented itself.
The agent explained that the cold
storage beef was being distributed
now at high pricesl prevailing, and
at the same time operated to slash
the quotations on new beef, cutting
the prices at which the packers are
buving more beef to put in the re-
frigerating plants, to be held again
for repetition of the same process.

PATRICK INNOCENT
is SERVING A LIFE SENTENCE UNJUSTLY.

New York, Jan. ee.-Albert T.
Patrick, who is serving life sentence
in Sing Sing prison on conviction of
the murder of William Marsh Rice,
is an innocent man and the victim of
base injustice, according to the
statement of Col. William C. Church,
editor of the Army and Navy Jour
nal, who was foreman of the grand
jury who indicted Patrick. Colonel
Church's sensational statement fol-
lows dispatch from New Orleans,
saying that Charles P. Jones, former
ly the valet of Rice, has returned to
that city after three years absence
and announced that he would return
to New York and furnish evidence
which would open the way to Pat
rick's release. Speaking of the case
Colonel Church said:
Il believe that the punishment
which Patrick is now undergoing is
the result of a gross miscarriage of
justice. l can say with the most
positive assurance not only that Pat
rick was not guilty of murder, but
that there was no murder in the case.
The evidence against Patrick was
presented in such form before the
grand jury as to create a prima facie
case such as to require interest, but
there was great doubt in my mind as
to the guilt of Patrick because ofthe
absolute worthlessness of the testi-
mony of the principal witness against
him, Charles P. Jones.

We cannot have much confidence
in the sincerity of Senator Stephen
B. Elkins to investigate the high
cost of living in the interest of the
consuming classes. Leading citizens
the country over, regardless of
politics, regard that the Dingley
tariff has had to much to do with the
increased cost of living among the
masses, and Uncle Stephen worked
hard for its enactment and processes
to believe it to be one of the wisest
measures passed by Congress in re-
cent years.-Nicholas Chronicle.
