Convict Guards Discharsed-

Convict Guards Discharged-
 Two of the three convicts who es- capped from the road camp recently it is reported have been captured. It is alleged that one of the convicts stated that former guards advised them to make their wetaway. They left on horses owned by the state. The Copper Era could not verify this rumor, but it is known that several who were guards at the camp have been let out, and it is possible that the reign of the wobblies has come to an end. Former Sheriff Cash is in charge as captain of the guards, perhaps he is responsible for clean ing out the former bunch. All hope that descipline will be restored, and the convicts compelled to do the work assigned to them, and that we will hear no more of the open de fiance of the constituted authorities.

When near the A. c. hospital he saw another car approaching, and dimmed his lights to keep from blinding the other driver, but the approaching driver failed to do likewise, and the glare from the approaching car so completely blinded him that he was unable to distinguish the other car as the two machines passed. Being near the rivers edge he turned in sooner than he should, his vision having been obscured by the others lamps did not see the other auto was not clear, and his machine ran against the car going north.

Improvements on Chase Creek

Improvements on Chase Creek
 The placing of a concrete covering over Chase Creek, in front of the Peoples Bank and Trust company building, which was mentioned in a recent issue of the Copper Era, is now under way. Contractor R. s. Black has the contract for doing the work, and force of men was put on the job last week, doing the preliminary work for this improvement. It will widen the street at this point to double its width, and afford convenient place for the parking of cars, something badly needed on the Creek. With the level of the street the covering or bridge, will extend from the foot bridge to near the building west, and will be of reinforced concrete. When this improvement is finished it will not be necessary to drive to the end of the street before a car can turn around. MT. Black states the work will be complete in about thirty days.

Il recall old experiences of hang
ings in the Jail yard of the old Four
Courts building. | have seen many
men hanged-20 at least, including
the anarchists of the Haymarket riot
in Chicago. The anarchists hanging
was my last. l was criminal reporter
at the Four Courts for 10 years, and
hangings, or rather the reporting OF
them, were all in the days work. In
deed, if / must confess it, hangings
were rather gala occasions in the
sos. Don't remember that j. West
Goodwin of the old high beaver hat,
editor of the Sedalia Bazoo, used to
charter trains and give free excur-
sions for his subscribers to hangings
in nearby towns? Those excursions
were real picnics. The people took

their lunch or rather their breakfast
with them to the scene, and there
was a supersufficiency of booze.
Here in st. Louis when hanging
took place the afternoon papers is
sued extras about the event-ac-
counts full of the most minute de-
tails of the victims last hours, with
a long story about the trial and a
longer one about the crime for which
the criminal suffered A hanging was
good for at least a page. One year
| remember reporting three hangings
on the Fridays of three successive
weeks-six men in all
THE gallows was back of the
morgue 1t was built at the street
level. But around the Jail wall there
was a rampant and from that eleva-
ton of about six feet a large crowd
looked down upon the drama upon
the grim stage A few were admitted
to the ground floor. The place was
a sort of theatre and on hanging
mornings admission was by printed
tickets that went by favor among the
friends of the sheriff and other Four
Counts politicians. Some of the first
recipients sold those tickets, some
times for as much as IS. The ticket
contained the legend:
admit one to the execution
on (date) of (name of the suf-
ferer).'
For one man condemned, Charles
f. Kring. those tickets were issued
three times but he was reprieved
each time and finally died in bed.
"Outside the Jail about 2 o'clock
the invited began to gather. The
Four Counts corridors became alive
with folks one was accustomed to
see there in the daytime. Many OF
them had stayed up all night. for
there was no. closing hour for the
bars and were inclined to hilarity
that passed quickly at times to lachry
mostly. They debated the guilt OF
the man to be hanged. They argued
the question of capital punishment.
They went out and across the street
to Eber's place. 1t was wide open all
lit up. The bar was well lined with
drinkers. At tables men were. play
ing cards or eating. To the door
came men about town in what were
then called sea going or low necked
hacks and sometimes these men had
loud words with female persons who
Just would not leave, because they
wanted to see the hanging too, and

hadn't Bob or Joe or George promised
to take them? The place had festal
air, trifle subdued. but business was
fine for old man Eber He was one
of those who had a vested interest in
hanging. II meant money for him
from the crowd both before and after
the event
"Eber's was the branch office OF
every official in the -Four Courts the
day of hanging, and the guests of
the affair would hang around all day
drinking and telling grusome tales
of old murders
1.-THE last moments gamblers stood
around and spent money like
princes Police court lawyers be-
unused in liquor explained law points
upon which they certainly could
have saved the life of the man who
was awaiting death across the street.
In back room was a group of gay
fellows at a table bearing much beer
and sandwiches. They were having
a symposium Here was one tawny
haired lawyer singing, Believe me, if
all those endearing young charms.
Now a man like an actor recited
poem about John and Peter and
Paul-God in his wisdom created
them all A recitation from Ingersoll
followed and then a fat man with
round red moon face rose and recited
The Execution from The Ingoldsby
Legends how my Lord Tomnoddy
and Lord Carnaby jerks of the
Blues had ridden to Newgate to see
a man hanged, but they bowsed at
the pub so hard and so long that
they forgot what they had come to
.see, and when they remembered the
execution was over, the man had
been cut down an hour ago.
1t seemed as If the sun came over the
jail roof with a sudden glory, and
made the crowd look expressibly
mean as it poured out of the gate to
meet the newsboys bawling: 'Extry,
all about the execution
1.-THE law was indicated to the
satisfaction of the swarms absorbing
'bracers' at Eber's.
I'm glad that there's no more of
this kind of thing in Missouri"
