An eighteenth century execution on
Kensingtou common was stopped for
time owing to a strange cause. On
August 10, 1853, two days before the
date of the execution, Il heavy fog came
over London, accompanied by thunder
and lightning and torrents of rain.
These conditions lasted for nearly
4S hours, and many people believed
that the last day had arrived. When
the time fixed for the execution ar
rived the assembled crowd cried shame
on the sheriff for hanging a man when
the world was coming to an end.
AS he persisted in his preparations,
they burst through the barriers and
stopped the proceedings, shouting that
the cHlprit might as well wait a few
minutes, when the grand summons
would come for all.
The sheriff had to obtain the assist
ance of a force of soldiers before the
execution could be carried Out.-Lon-

tains Escapes From
Police.

Reading, Pa.-Berks county was
thrilled recently by the discovery that
Charles Strausser, former Hamburg
soldier and navy deserter, was living
as a cave dweller, deep In the Blue
mountains north of Hamburg. He was
trapped in his cave high in the virgin
timberland by state police, but escaped
after an exchange of shots.
Strausser, who has been sought by
navy officials for months, fed deeper
into the seclusion Of the Wild noun
tain land after he eluded the police
net. He had been discovered when
campers caught sight of a wild man,
haggard and scantily clad, fleeing
through the hills. The state police, led
by Constable Wilson Leware Of Ham,
burg, have returned to the chase with
relnfOrcements.
