BERRY, The HANGMAN.
How He Got His Grewsonne Office and
Why He Resigned 1t.

why TO tedt9ne0
Berry, the famous English hangman.
had an extraordinary career. He work
ed as carpenter, engineer and printer
before joining the police force. He
knew his predecessors, Marwood and
Calcroft, and secured the post of hang
man out of ], 400 applicants. 1t is said
that Berry was chosen as hangman by
the sheriffs of London through an an
swer he gave to a question about hang
ing a man he knew to be innocent.
Would you hang that gentleman over
there?' he was asked. After looking
at the councillor, a venerable, gray
bearded figure, Berry is alleged to
have replied: 81 would hang the lot of
you. The crime would not be mine,
but the laws"
And yet Berry finally gave up his
Office as hangman because the execu
ton by him of two innocent persons
got on his nerves.
The first case was that of a farm Had.
aged about eighteen, accused of shoot
ing a policeman. The boy protested
his innocence to Berry up TO the last
moment, but was duly executed Some
time after this Berry hanged the Meth
before he died told Berry that it was
he who had shot the policeman for
which crime the boy had been exc
cuted.
The second. case was that OF Mary
Leffiey Of Lincolnshire, who was &C
cused Of poisoning her husband with
arsenic. She, too, protested her limo
cence, but was hanged. Some years
later a farmer dying Of cancer con-
fessed the crime. He said he had had
a quarrel with John Lefney, and when
both John and Mary were out he had
entered their cottage and put arsenic
in milk pudding which had been pre-
pared for John Lefiey's dinner.
It was on account OF these two grave
miscarriages Of justice that Berry III
timately turned evangelist He was
persuaded to go to a mission meeting
at Bradford and there announced his
onyersion.-London Tft-Bits.

month toward the upkeep OF the
mothers and children coming under
the provisions of the new law. The
largest amount paid to any one fam
lily is $40, six persons being cared for.
In considering the applications for
pensions Judge Clark has many
points to take into consideration, and
large number have been refused
Only one pension has been revoked
this being the one granted to a wo,
man of Liberty township who has
since married.
In case of a petitioner living in tht
country districts the amount paid il
lower than in the towns and villages

Afternoon Filed With Auditor
George Slocum Enters Race
OPPOSES CLARK's REELECTION

Rumors of the past few weeks were
substantiated today when NJ. G.
Slocum. of this city, former Justice Of
the peace, filed as candidate for the
nomination for Judge of probate OF
Beltrami county Together with
the filing of Mr. Slocum, who acted
in the capacity of deputy clerk of
court during the last term held here,
comes the announcement of Judge NJ.
A. Clark that he will again seek re-
election.
Judge Clark has held office for
several terms and his work has plac-
ed him among the leading probate
judges of the state. He was OPP
posed four years ago by Mr.. Slocum.
Graham NJ Torrance, Beltrami
county's efficient county attorney
has filed, thereby placing his name
before the people of the county for
denomination He will be opposed
by Henry Funkley, socialist. AS it
it not likely that added opposition
will enter the field, neither the name
of Mr.. Torrance or Mr. Funkley will
go ON the primary ballot.
No more filings had been made at
a late hour today, the number re-
naming at twenty. -.

BECKER TRIAL BEGINS
Former New York Police officer
Faces Jury for Second Time
Change of Venue Denied by Court
WHITMAN ACQUITTEDOF CHARGE

New York, May 7-Crowds of GU
rious men and women damned the
corridors OF the criminal courts for
the opening of the second trial Of
lieutenant. and head Of. the strong
arm" squad, for the murder of the
gambler, Herman Rosenthal.
Four men-the gunner, so called
recently paid for the murder with
their lives; but Becker, the alleged
instigator, was saved by ruling OF
the court of appeals.
Admission to the courtroom was
by, ticket only and hundreds were
turned away at the doors.
Bourke Cochran, of counsel for the
defense, Immediately asked the court
that District Attorney Whitman be
judged in contempt for having made
statements tending to prejudice the
public" against Becker.
The motion was denied for the time
being, but the court agreed to hear
arguments on it later.
Asks Change of Venue.
Mr.. Cochran then asked for a
change of venue. Again he censured
the district attorney for talking about
the case 'for the benefit of the news
papers," attacking particularly state
ments attributed to the district attor
ney concerning perjury committed in
. the eleventh. hour attempt to save the
gunner.
Mr. Cochran presented afidavits
from newspaper men and others tc
the effect that an alleged confession
of Carl Dresener, recently quoted az
having admitted that he committed
perjury in the gunner matter, did moi
come from Dresner himself, but was
given out by Mr.. Whitman, with the
suggestion that the story be made tc
read as if it had been given to the
newspaper men by Dresner from his
cell in the Tombs. 50 EE,
