dissuaded them, however, promising
that the negro should be dealt with

DAY OF THE CATASTROPHE
Oldtimers Remember with Regret the
Period When the Preserves Had
Been Used Up.

We dreaded that trip to the cellar.
Well we knew that good things could
not last forever. With fear and trem-
bling we had approached the shelf, and
had always come away with the re-
ward of our hardihood in hoping that
the trip would not be our last. Then
came the day Of the catastrophe. Com
pany had dropped in Unexpectedly at
various and sundry times and always
we had HAD to the swinging
shelf In the corner Of the cellar, and,
truth to tell. 1t had w disappointed
us. The day had been cold and dark
and dreary. 1t rained, and the wind
was never weary, or something like
that. For once 1t seemed that we
were to be permitted to spend q Sum
day oil alone. Not, Of course, that we
did not appreciate u friends. But
even friends pail, ct times.
We would make the journey down
stairs again. True, 1t was getting late
in the season. but there surely must
be one good pot Of gold at the
end of the rainbow. And yet, did we
bring the last M up two weeks ago
when the Joneses dropped in? We
were not sure. 1t did seem that with
the steady inroads we had made on
the supply 1t was about due for a
finish. But fate would not be so cruel
as to mark fms at such a time.
Searching the pages of history for like
cases. we could not recall one single
instance where q supply Of anything
was inexhaustible II used constantly.
But down the cellar steps we ven
tured, switching on the light a. we

him many dellcacies of various kinds.
The prisoner had offered in extenu-
alton for his attempt to commit suicide
the plea that he had felt intolerably
Inundated by being accused of the
murder of his partner. He declared
that he was innocent and would be
exonerated in court. Unfortunately
there appeared to be every likelihood
hat Perry spoke the truth, since the
main evidence against him was that OF
a negro, and a black mans testimony
requires to be strongly substantiated
in tho south before it can convince the
mind of the average white juryman.
The colored prisoner continued to
improve, and Perry, who had seriously
injured himself, was also on the high
road to recovery when a young woman
sent him a choice luncheon, in which
was a cut glass plate containing deli
cacies. While John Perry was eating
this lunch, the guard being at the far
end Of the cell, he suddenly struck the
plate upon the steel floor, breaking
it to pieces. He picked up a large, tri-
angular-shaped piece Of glass, with
edges as sharp as that of a razor, and
plunged it into his throat, at the same
time giving the piece of glass an extra
twist, which severed the ~jugular vein,
causing death in a few minutes.
The colored man pleaded guilty at
the trial and a sentenced to a life
term in the state prison.
The murder occurred on a Sunday.
l arrived in Dallas on the following
Wednesday, made my Investigations,
located and arrested Perry, the negro,
caused the arrest of the white Perry,
left Dallas, and returned to st. Louis
within ten days after he had set out,
after having travelled nearly four thou
sand miles.

errand. and I can get It for you be-
fore she returns"
She sent Liza to the drug store and
got the letter, which she handed to
me. 1t had been mailed the day be-
fore from San An. The rest OF
the word was not apparent, because
the mailing stamp had not touched the
paper completely.
There seemed now no doubt but
that the murderer had been found, and
that he was at San Antonio. Having
elected a promise OF secrecy from
Miss Johnson. ! next proceeded to the
plumbing shop where / had reason to
believe the pipe had been bought.
The brother OF the proprietor. a boy
Of eighteen, at once recognized the
piece OF pipe, which he said he had
cut from q large joint for the negro
the Friday before the murder. He de-
scribed the man as fully as Miss John
son lad done, and said that he could
identify him on sight. I Immediately
arranged for the young fellow to &C
company me to San Antonio at my
expense, agreeing to recompense him
for his time. The boy got ready, and
we left for San Antonio, arriving there
the next morning. While breakfasting
at the hotel a telegram was brought
me. 1t was from Sheriff Cabel and
read:
go to San Angelo, Tex, at orce."
Before leaving for San Antonio /
had arranged that the sheriff should
examine all letters received by the
maid, with the result that on that
morning n had arrived with the San
Angelo postmark plainly stamped on
it. We accordingly took the next
train for that point, arriving on the
following morning, Sunday, just a
week after the murder of Mr.. Tenn
pie.
San Angelo was a small ~cattle-ship-
ping town. Within an hour after our
arrival l had been able to ascertain
that the negro, John Perry, had left
on the Saturday evening for Lampasas,
Tex. On the following morning we ar
rived at that point. Lampasas was
the county seat and 1t was court week.
The town was filled to overlooking
We walked to the hotel, and, on near
ing the postofice, saw a large crowd
waiting for the distribution of the mail.
The young fellow who vas with me
called my attention to a colored man,
who was standing apart from the
crowd, and evidently waiting for a let

That's the niger I sold that piece
OF pipe to-" he said.
1t was John Perry.
I told the boy to stay where he was

then to follow quietly to the jail. l
