In 1901 the state legislature passed
a law imposing the death penalty upon
any prisoner who should make an as

Apparently supplied with plenty Of
money, Oppenheimer fought his case
all the way up to the Supreme court

He then endeavored to obtain his
freedom by writ OF habeas corpus, but
in vain.
While awaiting the decision Of the
courts in his efforts to save himself

"A hundred pounds in gold for an
engineer!" shouted the caOtain. I'm
short of engineers. I'll drop him on
at Constantinople and there you can
pick him up"
Captain Kahmke advised Ancker to
accept the offer, saying the Achen-
bach would be at Constantinople in
about a week Ancker accepted 1t
and turned over half Of the 100 pounds
in gold to his captain for safe-keepfng
and tucked the other half inside his
belt
Inside of half an hour the young
engineer was aboard the Sea Gull,

Pottsvilie, Pa.-When Mrs. Robert

She endeavored to strike it with a
