JOHN LEE TELLS
HIS LIFE STORY
MAN ENGLAND COULD NOT HANG
GIVES SIMPLE, PATHETIC
NARRATION AT CALUMET
THEATER.

John Lee Of Kearsarge, known gen
orally to residents OF the copper coun-
try as the man England could not
hang, told a simple yet pathetic story
OF mis- life. with incidents connected
with the three attempts TO hang him
and his subsequent life i'm prison, COW
ering a period OF twenty-three years,
to fair-sized audience in the Calu-
met theater yesterday afternoon.
Lee was introduced by Matt Far
rish of Wolverine. who acted as chair
man OF the meeting. The Kearsarge
male quartette was present and rem
dered selections. and recitation was
given by Miss Grace Parrish. which
was written by young cornishman in
South Africa. and described the meet
ing OF John Lee and his mother after
many years OF separation.
Lee commenced his lecture with in
cidents of the day preceding the mur-
der OF his mistress. n Miss Keyes OF
Babbacombe, Devonshire, Eng. He
stated that carly on the morning OF
the murder. fire broke out I'm the man
sion, and I'm endeavoring to open up
the big windows in the room in which
the body was found to allow the
smoke to escape. he cut his arm with
the broken glass. Lee said that the
blood was spattered over his sleeve
and coat, and IL was on this account
that he was arrested on suspicion OF
numbering the old lazy.
He described his detention in Exc
ter gaol previous to the time when he
was placed on trial for his life, his be-
ing found guilty on crcumstantial evil
dence and the passing of the sentence
of death by the judge.
The lecturer then went on to de-
scribe the three weeks he spent in the
condemned cell and incidentally refer
red TO the charge that he had threat
ened two of the warders while under
sentence of death. THE truth is,"
said Lee. Il found the two men sleep
ing instead of watching me. l further
said, If wanted ! could have wrench
ed n leg off the table and knocked
your brains out. | got two years ex-
ira for making use OF the joke"
Lee described the morning of the
date for the execution. the pinioning
process previous to the funeral march
to the scaffold, and the three attempts
to hang him. all of which failed. He
said he was confident he would not
hang. because of a vision he had seen
during a dream, which depicted to
him his experience on the scaffold.
Lee spoke ofyhis twenty-three years
Of prison life, which he served with
out one black mark against his char
acter, believed To be unequalled in
the annals of prison history in Eng
land. He described Pentonville pris-
on. where he spent twelve years, ''as
a little hell upon EARTH" In conclu-
sion, he touched on his release from
prison, and the happy meeting with
his mother in Devonshire, after twen-
ty-thrce years OF separation.

London, April 24.-One hundred and
fifty Britishers are planning pilgri-
mage walk from London to Canterbury

set out on a unique pilgrimage of his
own i'm honor of the great novelist.
His journey, to extend from the north

place to the discovery that in the
whole length and breadth of the land
there is no single inn bearing the sign
of "The Dickens Head" although. says
Wells. Dickens was the best friend
innkeepers ever had So. to repair this
neglect he has provided him with
1.10O two-cent Dickens stamps. one of
which he intends to fix on every inn
sign he encounters i'm his long pilgri-
mage. thus converting 1,1O0 places of
refreshment into dickens Heads" in

First Attack on Tariff Law Is Ex-
peCted This Afternoon When
Committee Will Make
Its Report
TURBULENT DEBATE PROMISED
While the Measure Will be Passed IL
Will be Vigorously Opposed by
the Republicans. Food Tar.
ifs Considered.

Washington. April 24.-The first at
tack of the Democratic house of rep
resentatives upon the the schedules of
the Payne-Aldrich tariff law will be-
gin this afternoon. With the Canadian
reciprocity bill disposed of, as far as
the house Is concerned, the lines of
battle are being drawn over the bill in
troduced by Chairman Underwood of
the ways and means committee, and
approved by the Democratic caucus,
placing on the free list many manu-
factured articles calculated to be OF
benefit to the farmers of the country.
That the free list measure will pass
the house is unquestioned. but there
will be a turbulent and prolonged de-
bate. and the division of the final vote
will be far different from the vote on
the reciprocity bill.
Following the passage of the free list
measure, there will be a long lull in
the tariff activity in the house, which
undoubtedly will adjourn from time to
time, awaiting the report of the ways
and means committee OF the revised
textile schedules. The committees real
work on the revision of the wool and
cotton schedules will not be under
taken until the farmers free list bill
has been passed. Some food tariffs also
are being considered.
