HANGING TAKES
PLACE TODAY,

A crowd of several thousand people
drawn thither by morbid curiosity will
witness the hanging of the wretched ne
gro murdererS, YoumanS and Mccoy, in
the Palatka Jail yard today.
The Scaffold is in the rear of the Jail,
in the enclosure, but in plain view of all
the people whose homes and places Of
business are in that block. The crowds
in the street will have a close and clear
view of the condemned men as they
stand upon the trap.
When the trap is sprung, both men
shoot into an enclosure and thus will be
hidden from view.
The hanging will take place at eleven
O'Clock this morning.
Sheriff Kennerly will be accompanied
by two deputies, possibly other county
officials, several official witnesses, the
county physician and the attending min
isters. The sheriff, himself, will spring
the trap.
The condemned murdererS have spent
their time during the past week in pray
ing and singing. They profess repent
ance and believe their souls have been
saved. They will each be given an op-
portunity TO speak farewell message to
the world from the SCaffold.
1t is impossible to tell at this time
whether or not the condemned men will
be able TO meet their fate unflinchingly.
They have no relatives who have thus
far expressed a desire for their bodies.
McCoy's mother lives in North Carolina
and he asked the sheriff TO write and
ask her to come and see him. The
sheriff did so, but up TO now there has
been no response.

STATE REPUBLICAN
CONVENTION
Will Probably Meet in PaIatka.

The News has information to the ef-
feet that the coming Republican State
Convention will probably meet in this
city.
The matter will be settled in few
days by the Republican State Executive
committee. Much will depend upon
whether Palatka leaders OF the party can
make proper arrangements for the meet
ing, such as hall, committee rooms, etc.
The Florida State Republican Con
vention will be the first state convention
of the party for the coming campaign.
II will select delegates to represent
Florida in the next National Republican
convention.
That a fight will be made for the
delegation is likely, though there is lit
tie doubt but that the convention will
be for President Taft.
Besides something over 100 prominent
Republicans and Federal officials of the
state, many Washington, New York and
other northern newspaper men and rep
reSentativeS OF the Associated Press will
be here, and it is not unlikely that the
Washington administration will be rep
resented.
AS an advertisement for Palatka the
convention would take high rank. 1t
will be the first gun in the campaign,
and as such its sound will reach to all
parts of the United States.
Many of the state delegates will be
negroes.

MURDERER KELLY
ESCAPES PRISON

James NJ. Kelly the High Springs
murderer who with his pal, Davidson,
was convicted in the Putnam Circuit
court on Juue 10Th, 1909, of murder in
the first degree and sentenced TO the
penitcntiary for life, made his escape
last Saturday from the convict camp of
the DeLeon Naval Stores Co. near De-
Land
Kelly was aided in his escape by a
guard named Smith, and who went with
him. Both men were well provided
with arms and ammunition. 1t is pre-,
sumed also that they were well provided
with money which could have been OBJ.
famed through friends from the outside.
1t is likely that the escape was carefully
planned by the guard.
Kelly is a desperate man and had
served time before for murder. He
knew there was no hope of pardon for
him this time, and il is likely that all
his plans are carefully laid. By this
time it is probable that he is on the high
seas bound for foreign port.
He has given the penitentiary authori-
ties great deal of trouble since his in
carceraton, and has been flogged sever
al times for inSubordination.
Davidson, who is also in Nolusia
county camp, is on the contrary model
prisoner, and has risen to sort OF boss
ship and truSty in the camp. He will
eventually apply for pardon.

INTERLACHEN ITEMS,
Passing of Prominent and Honored
Townsman.

AT an early hour last Saturday morning
the shadowy winged messenger of death
summoned the spirit of our we'll beloved
townSman, Hon. D. M. Corthell, and
the long Journey of life ended, he
prepared for the people of God. Probl-
bly, the loss from our community of no
other personality would be so generally
felt, SO universally mourned. Always
genial, cordial, radiating sunny cheer
fulneSS under all circumstances, he en-
deared himself TO all who came within
the charmed circle of his influence.
Mr.. Corthell, with his wife, came
here from New Haven, Conn, in 1890,
and has always been prominent figure
in the life of the community, having
served on the council, and as mayor of
our town for long term of years. He
has ever been StaunCh supporter and
faithful attendant of the Congregational
church, of which he was a member.
Married early in life, he and his de-
voted wife have travelled in close COM
panionShip for sixty one years, period
much longer than the average human
life. Four sons were given them, two
of whom passed away in early manhood,
and the others, Fred and DR.. Merritt
Corthell are still living. Mr.. Corthell
has been in falling health for several
months and the termination of his Sc
we're illness was not unexpected, in view
of his advanced age, he having almost
completed his eighty second year.
The funeral was held on Sunday after
noon, large concourSe of friends as
Sembling at the Corthell home, where
services were conducted by Rev. S. ].
Townsend who paid loving tribute 10
the kindly, genial spirit that has gone on
before TO join the ranks of the immor-
tails. AT the cemetery the impressive
burial rites of the Grand Army of the
Republic, of which Mr.. Corthell was a
member, were carried out by the old
veterans, and by them the body of their
old Comrade at arms was consigned to
the windowless palace of rest, there to
await the morning of the resurrection.

WILL SUMMON
SPECIAL VENIRE
From Which to Select Jury to
Trv Smith Next TUESDAY,.

The Gainesville Sun of Saturday con-
tanned the following relative to the ap-
preaching trial of E. L. Smith sheriff of
Volusia county, charged with the mur-
der of w. A. McCaskell of Drayton
Island:
The fall term of Circuit Court adjourn

Smith charged with murder in the first
degree, will be taken up, and special
venire of fifty will be summoned from
which to select jury.
The defendant is sheriff of VoluSia
county, and the indictment against him
was secured in Putnam county. The
officer shot fisherman by the name of
McCaSkill near the line dividing Put
nam and NoluSia counties, but Sheriff
Smith claims that the killing was acci-
dental and is confident that he will be
acquitted. The tragedy occurred fol-
lowing the arrest of number of fisher
men who were wanted for violating the
law, and while several of them were en-
deavoring 10 escape the officer fired the
shot which caused McCaskill'S death.
The case will be tried here upon a
change of venue, and as some of the
! best legal talent in the state has been

fought legal battle.

Attorneys A. St. Clair-Abrams and A.
G. Hartridge of Jacksonville and Landis
& Fish of DeLand, while the State will
be represented by Solicitor A. V. Long,

Hanged for the installation OF a fish
gate In the Red river dam, near the

cided to construct In the middle of the
dam fish way for the members of
the finny tribe to swim up the river.

In the future there will be no more
fishing allowed In the vicinity OF the

such that there Ii no fishing allowed

see to 1t that the statutes are enforced
to the letter as soon as the new fish

The body Of "a tall and extremely
thin man was found In a ditch at the
side of the road. near the Probstfield
farm, yesterday by A. j. Williams and
Sam Berrigan who were out in that
direction. The drivers saw the body
in the morning as they were drivfns
north, but there was nothing unusual
but returning they saw the body stiI
there and I'm the same position. Alight-
Ing from the machine and making
close examination Of the body they
found that the man was dead.
Returning to town the coroner WA
notified at once and with Berrigan ht
went to the scene of the find. Ex-
animation disclosed nothing whateve,
to establish identity. The sum Of "a
cents was found in one of the mans
pockets.
Last evening the body was moved
to the Wright undertaking establish
ment where 1T is now lying embalned
and Coroner Vincent is doing all he
can to find some person who can Iead
to the mans identity.
The body Is that OF a man over six
feet tall, very thin, sandy hair and
rather big moustache and covered
with blue coat. The man was NOT
less than 80 years Of age.
Tatooed between the thumb and in.
dex finger OF the right hand are the
letters, C. A. I'll.

vocated the medium sized house and
wanted 1t equipped for convenience In
doing the work for comfort The liv-
ing room, dining room and kitchen are
necessary rooms and bedrooms in
number to suit the number to be ac-
commodated. The parlor she classed
as superfluous. Lace curtains require
too much work in washing. Scrim or
fish net fabric is better as 1t is easy
to clean. Having nice things that 1t
takes most of the time keeping 1t
clean The furniture should be sub
stantial, but plain. In the kitchen the
cook stove or range is the most inn
portant thing. let it be a good one,
but without lot of nickled spots as
these require q lot of work to keep
them clean. A good kitchen cabinet or
shelves should be placed convenient to
the stove SO as to save steps. When
possible have water tank either in
the attic so that running water can
be had. Or have a pressure tank.
A good plan is to have a gasoline en-
CINE to pump the water in either case.
II can also be hitched onto the wash
ing machine and cream separator.
Robert Flint, state dairy commits
sioner gave talk on the care of
cream. He called attention to the fact
that 1t takes up odors and that it is an
ideal media for germs to work in and
especially when 1t is warm. He cited
case that he had seen a few DAYS
ago. The cream was left standing i'm
the kitchen to cool as the lady said.
nearby was the stove, so that it would
rather warm the cream. He told her
that when cooking cabbage the cream
would take UP that odor, when cooking
other things the same would be the
case. She said and that's why the
butter maker smells the cream SO he
can tell what we have had to eat all
week. / will keep my cream so he
cannot tell any more what we have to
eat. The cream should be placed in
a can that can be set in cold water.

WEEPY STORY OF
DESTROYED BOOZE.

Washburn, N. d., June 22.--
Judge Crawford, who had lot to
do with the recent reorganization
of Marmarth, at which time so
many blind piggers were sent up
that all decided to close up, tells
a pathetic story of the destruction
of confiscated booze Of the town.
The booze and fixtures piled up
and destroyed were valued at close
to $4,000. Judge Crawford says
many strong men went down to the
river bank and wept in physical
and mental anguish when the work
of destruction began. About
dozen cases of champagne were in
cluded in the stuff spilled in the
cutters. BY those who have tast-
ed Ii, champagne Is said to be
very delightful beverage, and very
costly.
