OBITUARY.
Hon. origsn Seymour Gallup.

Origen s. Gallup, who died in Vol untown. Conn.,, June 2s, 1912, was born in that town, at the Gallp home stead, the place of his death, Decem- 3l, 1S49. and was therefore siXty-tWO years of ge. He was the son of Ben jamin $. Gallup and Caroline (Kinney) Gallup and one of a large and noted family. Being the only boy in the family who remained on the farm, the management of the farm after his fa- thers death, naturally fell to him. and he continued to farm it all his life He made farming profitable in d mark ed degree and was regarded as the most thrifty and successful farmer in town. He gave to his bsiness his earn est and careful attention, continuing in the active personal supervision of his. affairs, even in declining health, to the very day of his death. He married an estimable and cultured lady, Miss Jo- sephine M. Kinney, who survives him. and by whom he had three children one of whom died In infancy, the other two are living at home. daughter. Miss Bertha Gallup, the elder of the children is 8 graduate of the Norwich Free Academy, and was va edictorian of the cisss of 1s11 q son, Benjamin Gallup s bright and active lad.
 
 sisters and three brothers Mrs. Avery A. Stanton of Sterling; Miss Amy E. Gallup of Voluntown Benjamin :. Gal lup of Sprague, Hon. E, Byron Gallup of Ekonk. and Albert Gallup of Hart ford
 Origen Gallup was a man of marked individual character and was known for his sterling honesty, industry and good judgment in practical affairs. He had decided views and convictions; and must be convinced that he was wrong before changing them, for he meant to be right
 He was very active in his business; his hands always found plenty to do ! and he did it with all his might, having little patience with shiftess and sloth. With him. life was no idle dream or ] holiday but stern reality. All his energies were devoted to a courageous industry which he made not devoid of material rewards. He fully exem- plified his belief in that Scripture that Faith without works is dead" He be- lieved in doing, not in saying, and, above all, in doing as he would be done by. He did not preach but practised I and he judged others by what they did rather than by what they said. 1 He did not pray for crops with lips alone,
 But with his hoe, between the rows of i corn,
 His piety. at special times, was never 1 worn.
 It was what he practised, daily, right along.
 l He was a strong republican, but was no politician, and always sturdily re- l fused office. with one exception. He

woods and then boarded a trolley car for Pawcatuck, where he felt sure he could start back and head the negro off. This proved a correct theory and Ledwith took the prisoner after a chase.
 Dennison or Ennis was searched by captors and money was found in pockets and in stockings. His lower limbs were bruised. These injuries, he says. are the result of being beaten by Brickle.
 Dennison says he is 27 years old and not S5, as the police learned first. His home is in Georgetown s. c.
 Medical Examiner Lee began an au- topsy at noon after Coroner Brown had finished an examination of the witnesses, McPherson, Howard and Alexander Hollis The latter insists that he was too sleepy to see much of anything and paid attention only to the disturbance after Brickle was stabbed. Hollis, by way of corroborat- ing the statement that he9was sleepy slept in a chair at police headquarters most of the time that the coroner was questioning the others.
 Dr. Lee and Dr. Clancy found a wound in the second intercostal space at the left of the breastbone. The cut is three inches in length and from outward examination the medical ex- aminer said it had probably punctured the heart or an important organ be- low. There was no other wound or the body of Bricllle.
 The story. as told by Brickley's friend, McPherson, is to the effect that the men wrangled over the out come of the crap game and exchanged vile names. They came together, the large man striking Ennis repeatedly l While he was between them McPher- son says he heard Brickle say: He's killed mel"
 All versions coincide from this poin that Brickle staggered to his feet ant stood for a minute in the doorway O. the bunk house. Then he walked int the open air, tearing his blouse above the abdomen, where 1t seemed he fel the most pain, BriclSle walked d dis tance of about 75 feet before he fell McPherson and others dragged hin to a plotform 20 feet away and laiC him down on the boards. Then Me | Phersen ran to Foreman Frank G Payne, to whom he told what ha, happened. That official called Dr. Ga ney and notified the police that a fgh had taken place.

SPENCER'S EXECUTION IN
 WEEK OF SEPTEMBER IS
Sentence Pronounced by Judge Crosby
 Death in the Electric Chair.

Bertram G. Spencer, the convicted slayer of Miss Martha B. Blackstone, must die in the electric chair at the Charlestown prison some time during the week of September 15. When Judge John c. Crosby pronounced the death sentence in the superior court at Sp7.r@ r@field Tuesday, Spencer wept little, but his self ltrol was in marked contrast to his sensational behavior during his trial
 For months previous te his arrest Spencer had caused 8 reign of terror in Springfield. He had committed many highway rebberies. burglaTies and holdups. He was employed reg ularly in a responsible position, and. so far as the world knew, he was a young man of excellent reputation. After his arrest he made complete confession. the police officials claimed.
 At his trial a defense of insanity was set up, but the jury brought in a verdict of guilty of murder in the first degree. The case was carried to the supreme court. where the defendants exceptions were overruled.
 John Murphy has returned from Wesleyan college for the vacation at his home on Washington street. He is now with camping party for a short time on the Thames.
