the exposure to the soaking tropical

How Returning Gold Seekers Tried
and Executed Two Of Their Corn
rades In Nicaragua for Rob-
bling Others

In the spring Of 1885," said Mr..
Dudley Jones, now of Little Rock.
Ark, the California ergonaut whose
experiences I have been recounting, IT
again started out from New York for
the gold field via the Vanderbilt, route
across Nicaragua. In due time we AZ
rived at the Atlantic port of Greytown
late one afternoon, and on disembark-
ing found that large body of passen-
gers, east bound across Nicaragua,
had preceded US into the town by .
few hours and were even then holding
trial over three of their fellow pas
sengers who had been caught robbing
others Of gold dust. A fourth man
was to have been tried, but he had es-
capped into the Jungle back Of the
town.
The trial took place In an old
adobe warehouse. 1t was held By the
people and in the name of the people
without regard to the Mosquito gov
eminent It was a formal trial, as
regular as any trial. except that there
had been no election OF court officers.
And 1t ended In the three culprits be-
ing condemned to death
The next morning our boat sent a
large delegation to swell the crowd Of
homeward bound passengers that gath
cred to carry out and witness the ex-
ecution Of the sentence. A scaffold
had been erected few rods from the
warehouse. where the prisoners had
been guarded all night. Suspended
from a cross beam were three nooses.
and on the ground below were three
collins.
AT the appointed hour, the three
condemned men, dressed In white, but
no whittier than their faces. were
marched out under strong guard be-
tween crowds of spectators. They
were led directly beneath the gallows.
when there was some talk between
prisoners and guard. which could not
hear. This over with. one man was
promptly swung OF. followed imme-
diately by the middle man. Then. for
some reason that / never learned. the
third prisoner was marched back
through the silent crowd. and after
being stripped was tied over an old
cannon that happened to be there and
given so lashes. The natives took no
part in the proceeding except to bury
the dead.
THAT evening we entered the small
boats that were to take us up the
first stage Of the San Juan river. when
we would be transferred to the steam
er that would take US the rest of the
way up the stream and across Lake

clothes fitted him perfectly. When he

United States, he was accustomed to
wear a suit Of rough gray Scotch mix

well.
Upon his return to New York after
his visit to New Haven, Conn, where
he spent several days. Mr.. Froude
spoke of the inspiration which he had
received there for romance which, he
thought. could be made as interesting
and ss powerful as any Of the histor-
ical romances written In the English
tongue. excepting those of Scott.

who, as editor of Putnain's Magazine
in the ffties. had become well ac-
quainted with Froude, but also
wanted to look at the burial places of
the three regfcfdes, Bfxweii, COTE and
Whalley, who knew were buried at
New Haven, and was especially anx-
ious to visit the cave in which Goffe

little plot of ground within a stones

the mutilated headstones which mark
the graves of COTE and his son-in-law,

been erected there to the memory Of

five or six miles to q mountain beyond
the confines of the city, and was shown
the cave in which Cote and Whalley
were secreted. / learned enough to

The story of their wanderings, their
hiding places. and the miraculous ap-
pearance of COTE at time of great
danger because of the advance Of In
dams, seemed to me to furnish the
basis of an exceedingly interesting TO
nance, Of which, Of course, the back
ground would be the Long Parliament,
the sentence of death upon Charles l.,
the restoration, By which Charles II.
became king. and the fight OF the
regicides to save their lives. There is.
also, the possibility Of portraying the

which Is laid In Ireland, and when I
have finished It hope ] shall be able

cides who escaped to America"
Professor Frorde departed for Eng
land still enthusiastic over this pro
ject. He did complete and publish his
Irish romance years later, but whether
he ever mapped out the romance Of
the regicides none Of his American
friends was able to tell.
