jail here, confident he never viii hang
for the murder of his sister-ln-law at
Carbonate last summer.
Scott was sentenced to hang Octo
ber 18th last but has been reprieved
five times by Governor Ilunne His
latest reprieve gives him life until
July IA.
The many reprieves grow out Of a
dispute between Governor Dunno and
Sheriff White OF Jackson county.
Shortly before the date set for Scott's
hanging here, Joe Deberry, another ne
gro murderer expiated his crime on
the gallows.
Large posters announcing that nov
ing pictures of the hanging would be
shown at a local moving picture the

He made an investigation and. ac-
cording to his statement, two thousand
persons most Of whom had paid 81 for
their tickets, saw the Deberry hang

Believing the hanging Of Deberry q
disgrace to Illinois Governor Dunno.
shortly before the date Scott was
scheduled to hang wired Sheriff
White of this county to send him the
specific number Of persons who would
witness the execution.
Sheriff White replied by stating he
would comply with the law which, in
this state. allows, him a sufficient mum

The answer did not satisfy Governor
Dunno and he reprieved Scott
The same routine has been gone

Governor Dunno insists he never will
commute Scotts sentence to life. as
the crime was too revolving to be ex-
plated by anything but death"
Governor Dunno is especially antago-
nistic to capital punishment and might
see Scott still alive when his term ex-
pires next March.

and injustice that had beggared
Lane, he was appalled,.
Step by step Bliss wrought out the
need Of justice. He proceeded sys-
tematicaIly to restore to the account
Of Robert Lane every dollar that had
been so unfairly wrested from him.
Then Bliss sought to, find the old
mendicant. He Swallowed him, when
the old man, counting the coins he
had begged, FASTENED down the
street. Bliss was electrified to. see
him enter arforist shop and eXpend
all his money for a bunch Of roses.
Bliss continued TO follow him, even
when Lane entered a wretched tene-
ment house. In his eagerness the
ex-merchant left open the door of a
room upon a couch in which lay
beautiful girl, his daughter, Inez,
wasLed with fever and in delirium.
Bliss was thrilled at the pathetic
wanderings of the sufferer. She was
in fancy once more in the rose gar
den of their old home-the paradise
that Max Bulger had stolen from
them.
From that moment there began in
the. life of this young man a sole i'm

Lanes, father and daughter. Mystic

something from the Bulger estate.
There was a removal to new living
quarters, the services of a skilled spe-
claIist for Inez and then-Oh! the
wild joy of it-one day they found
themselves in the old home, with
money in bank. In fact, the restora-
ton to old conditions, except for in
termediate. deprivation and sorrow,
was complete.
It was a labor of love to Bliss to
duplicate the old furnishings of the

curious crowd surging about him, he
screamed out a frightful arraign-

extortion, Of running bis business life,
of driving him to beggary. The few
words fell like burning hot missiles,
and, as the automobile started up,
Bulger gasped family:

He was indeed, i'll, for he never
got over the shock of the fearful an

after that the old mendicant haunted
Bulger. The latter gave up his blood
