HUMAN TIGER EXECUTED.
California Convict, Twice Murderer,
PAYS Death Penalty.

SACRAMENTO, Cal, July 12.-Ja-
cob Oppenheimer, whom eriminologists
have termed one of America S most ex-
traordinary convicts, was hanged at
Folsom prison, yesterday. Though he
had killed two men, it was not for
murder that Oppenheimer gave up his
life. His crime was an attack on a
fellow prisoner, and his is said to have
been the first ease in this country of
a felon being executed for simple as
sault.
Oppenheimer, when messenger boy
of IA, tried to kill his superintendent
and was given a workhouse sentence.
Soon after he was released he was
convicted of robbery and sent to FOL
som prison for 80 years. A man
named Ross. who had been the prin-
eipal witness for the prosecution, later
was himself sent to prison. Open
heimer met him at the gate and MUIR
dered him. For that crime Open
heimer s sentence was lengtheneed to
life Imprisonment and he was trans
ferred to San Quentin. There he at
tackled guard and later fellow pris-
oner, and for the later assault he was
sentenced to death under California s
law, enacted in 1907, making an at
tack by convict on n fellow-prisoner
n capital offense. Fourteen Of his is
years in prison Oppenheimer spent in
solitary confinement.
An enemy, Francesca Quijada, a
murderer awaiting execution, used the
prison telegraphy taps on the cell
walls to taunt the inmate of the dun-
geon. Oppcnhelmer, nursing his wrath
managed to procure an old file. AS
he sharpened and pointed the file on
the stone walls he would leave off to
tap to Quijada: "I'n get you yet,
you
One day Quijada was led to OPP
penheimer S cell. Quick as flash
Oppenheimer s arm shot through the
bars and his file pierced his enemy s
heart. After that Oppenheimer was

Convict Labor.
Rutland News

The proposition for hiring out con
yicts to road contractors deserves no
public favor. The contract system for
prison work has proved a failure 1t
would be well, however, for Vermont to
utilize this labor in road making under
the care of keepers. 1t does not come
in conflict with the interests of the la
Dor organizations, it gives useful en-
ployment to the criminals and keeps
them in better health. To most crimi
mails labor in the open air is preferable
to the confinement of prison walls. The
only question to be considered is how
to arrange for this labor to the best adj
vantage and without making the cost
to the state greater than the value of
the work done.

Spiders, like worms and snakes,
were formerly much used in charm
cures, and only a year or two since
an English shopkeeper was startled
by request for "a nut to put spider
In to cure baby's wnoopilg cough"
The spider, according to an old-time

nut and suspended round the childs
