room, and one Of them, who died hero
ically at Shrewsbury, is mentioned by
Shakespeare. The earl himself was a
man Of high ability, and when he was
sober, which happened perhaps once in
four or five years. he was said to have
the most charming manners. But he
kept himself picked nearly all the
time, and his charming manners were
not in evidence. He flew into sense
less RACES over nothing, conceived vio-
lent prejudices against people, and al
ways was threatening to kill one per-
son or another. He was 80 cruel to his
wife that she, applied to parliament
for relief, and parliament granted her
q separate maintenance, with the rev.
enues from certain. farms and other
property.
William johnson was his l0rdship's
steward, and because he had to pay
money from the estate to the lady, the
earl began to hate him bitterly. He
got the idea in his sodden mind that

Johnson's destruction. He prepared for
the crime deliberately, notifying John.
son to attend upon him at a certain
hour In the afternoon. As the hour
approached the earl managed to send
everybody away from the place, with
the exception Of two or three maid
servants. johnson appeared for the
interview promptly on time, and the
earl handed him paper and told him
to sign 1t. The paper was oonfes-
sion of all sorts of crimes and crooked
ness on the part Of johnson, and he
refused to sign 1t, and began to ex-
postulate, but the earl produced pis-
tol and told him to get on his knees.
Johnson fell upon his knees and then
the nobleman shot him. He fingered
until the next day, when he died.
Then the earl barricaded himself in
his ancestral hall and defied arrest.
He was armed to the teeth with pistols
and blunderbuses and other weapons.
He held of the crowd Of officers and
citizens for several hours, but was
finally captured while trying to make
his escape through back garden.
He was taken to the tower of Lon
don where he sobered up completely,
and justified the theory that he was
naturally charming man. All who
came in contact with him during his
imprisonment agreed that he was Just
too sweet for anything. In due season
his trial occurred, and he conducted
his own defense, introducing great
deal Of testimony calculated to show
that he was insane when the crime
was committed. There were no pro-
fessional alienists in those days, and
his showing didn't make much of an
impression upon the jury. He was
found guilty of willful murder and sem

A gorgeously dressed foreign officer
was walking down Whitehall the other
day in fti1l dress when he was met by
two ,countrymen. Quite staggered at
the gorgeous apparition clanking to-
ward them, they riveted their eyes on
the blazing gold, blue and crimson fig

exclaimed to the other, with sharp
pudge in the ribs and look Of fun:
