when the young man returned home
almost boasting of having killed his
wife in Italy had something awe-in-
spring in it's loneliness. Here was
highly respected man, of good south
ern family, who had attained a posi-
ton of trust and responsibility in the
service of his country, who had
brought up a bright boy, with all the
care and so1icitude of a refined home,
lavishing affection upon him, hoping
great things for him, and suddenly all
these hopes were swept away and in
their place he must needs forge for
himself a solitary grim hope-that of
saving the boy from the disgrace of a
murderer's death.
Gen. Hams Pathetic Figure.
Another heroic figure-heroic be-
cause of the way it stood firm in the
tempest of tragedy swept about it
was that of Gen Peter c. Hams, ia
Their of Capt. Peter G. Hams and
Thornton Hams. When Capt. Hams
killed the man he believed had wreck
ed his home, and he and his brother
were accused of conspiring together to
commit murder, the old fathers fight
ing blood rose and he turned like an
old lion to defend his cubs. In his
eyes MS son Qe0Q was JuSClneQ. Ih1S
point of view was shared by a large
number of people, women as well as
men. That he saved his sons from
the grip of the law was a triumph for
him, but the triumph only, attenuated
the grief that the killing had laid upon
him.
So it was with gallant old Gen Mol
ineux- He, however, was spared the
grim horror of knowledge of a sons
guilt, for he firmly believed in Rol-
and's innocence of the murder. and
his fight for the youths acquittal was
urged on not only by affection but by
confidence in the triumph of justice.
Another father who was buoyed up
to the last by faith in his boys inno-
cence was A. F. Tucker, whose son
Charles was put to death for killing
Mabel Page. To the very last he was
firm in this faith. He Aept up the
fight to prove his son innocent right to
the hour of execution, and in one of
his petitions to the governor for elem
ency he expressed in a sentence the
tragedy of the parent whose son Is
accused of a grave crime: Our hearts
are bursting with anguish"
Such case as this was that of
Henry Clay Beattie, the Richmond
banker. whose son has been convict
ed of numbering his young wife He
kept up the fight, having appealed for
a new trial. without result The IA

Two Prisoners Make Clever and
Daring Escape

Thomas Burns and NJ. Conners,
two prisoners in the Otero county
Jail put on Tuesday night the
cleverest and most daring Jail
delivery that has been recorded
in this county. They sawed and
cut out of the steel cell in which
they were kept, cut through the
ceiling, the sheating and the
roof, and with strips of heavy
ducking cut from their cell
hunks, lowered themselves from
the roof of the building and
made their escape.
Two other prisoners occupied
adjoining cells on the same floor,
but were not locked in. They
made no attempt to follow the
lead of the Jail breakers. Jailer
John Hanks reports that one of
the prisoners called to him at
S:45 that two prisoners we're
escaping; that he and Sheriff
Denney, who was in the room
with him, went at once and
began an examination, and found
that Burns and Conners had es-
capped, ss told above.
The prisoners left the impro-
vised saws, which were made of
case knives, a heavy hammer
and piece of scantling which
had been used as o lever to break
the cell bars. They had been
in Jail since April 20, charged
with burglary. They waived
the preliminary hearing and were
committed in default of the
$1,000 bond.
