Uneasy Lies Hnngman's

Bradford, England visions Of

Ing, as revealed in the notes of an
executioner, James Berry Of Brad
ford, who died some years ago. He
was credited with 1874 executions, and
his weird experiences and sensations
are detailed fully in diary covering
several hundred pages.
Berry's most celebrated case and
most trying ordeal was that OF John
Lee. Berry and an assistant, in
Exeter prison, tried in vain on four
occasions to hang Lee. Each time the
drop refused to act, and finally Lee
was reprieved.
OF one execution Berry writes: Il

CONVICTED SLAYER
DIFFICULT TO HOLD
Escapes Four Times From,
Prisons in South.

Nashville, Tenn.--Jail officials here
have jinx In the person of one John
Revinsky, sentenced to q years in
prison for killing and robbng Mae
Goodwin, d wealthy underworld
queen.
Revinsky Just will not stay confined
no matter where he Is placed. For ten
years Tennessee authorities have been
trying to make John serve his term.
But, apparently, there Isn't Jail In
the South that will hold him.
1t was ten years ago that the MUIR
der was committed and the man was
held for trial. The date for the trial
came, but John was not to be found.
He had escaped Nashville's best Jail
Months later he was re-arrested, tried
and sentenced.
While waiting to be taken to prison
he led a Jail break and escaped again
Two years passed. He was arrested
once more In Alabama But when
Tennessee police arrived for him he
was gone, having sawed his way
through the iron bars.
For seven years Revinsky roamed
the country, making wooden thumb
to replace one shot off during a jail
break. Then he was caught in SaI
Francisco, Calf. Taking no chances
police shackeled him hand and foot
and sent him direct to Nashville
A few nights ago, while all was quiet
there, he carefully dug his way
through stone wall and escaped with
13 other prisoners. All Of these were
recaptured except Revinsky and new
friend, Pete Berbero. bandit.

London Fog Changes;
Even Taste Altered

London.-London's fog has lost Its
individuality and some of its taste.
Time, or something, seems to have
worn the edge clear on of it,
Dickens, who so delightfully."- de-
scribed the London mist, would be
disappointed were he to see one to-
day He would not recognize the
modern fog any more than he would
know the narrow streets which David
Copperfield so often trod.
The same old streets wind about In
the same old way, but many Of them
have been widened. This may have
something to do with the changing
fog, which Is not so impenetrable az
formerly. but the scientists disagree
about the vapor's transformation and
its causes.
At any rate, the wider streets are
now more easily negotiated even when
fog is at its height. And the old
timers are quite positive that the fog
of today tastes much different to that
served in the days of Victoria.

INDIAN RED BUGS
RICHLY ENDOWED
Wealthy Banker Leaves $780,
900 for Rest Homes.

Ailahabad, India.-One hundred
thousand dollars for home Of rest
for bugs (the irritating Indian red
bug) is the strange legacy left by q
Marwari banker millionaire named
Soth Buddhimai, who died recently in
Sihori state. central India.
Soth Buddhimai set aside a quarter
Of a million rupees (which is roughly
100000 real money! for the building
and maintenance of three resthouses
in Sihori state. In each Of which a
special room is TO be set aside for the
preservation of red bugs.
The red bug is well known Indian
pest. encroaching everywhere In rail-
roads, trolley cars, automobiles, houses.
and, in fact, wherever human feet
tread. the bug creeps In to disturb the
peace and quiet of the evenings. The
Sihori banker demanded that In the
red bug rooms at his resthouses, poor
travellers should be paid for the "serv-
icer Of sleeping in them at the rate Of
roughly 81 per two hours
There is OF course a catch In this
II at any time poor unfortunate bug
be found dead, through the uncon-
scious squirming OF the paid victim.
Or otherwise. the traveller loses his
dollar.
There are at present some 250 red
bug rooms" In the resthouses of Rajpu-
tana state. but the occupants thereof
are not paid for the privilege OF their
company. They are more or less
4quarantined" for the benefit of the
non-infested travellers who use the
resthouses. But willis 1t has been a
long standing custom to, provide "bug
rooms" for resthouses, no such valu-
able legacy has been left for many
years In this part of India, and GER
tainly no such legacy which seeming
~ considers tina feelings of the bugs.

Finger Prints SolUe
Murder After Years

Berlin.-Finger prints discov-
cred nearly three and a half
years after Otto Seinicke left

hitting a murder at Bad Oeyn-
hansen proved sufficient to bring
the crime home to him when he
was arraigned at the present
term of court.
Robert Bicker, young bath
attendant at the Oeynhausen
Spa, was shot and killed on July
9. 1923. by burglars who had
broken into the building he was
guarding. Suspected of the
crime, Seinicke, and compan-
ion, Heinrich Kruger. were ar
rested and tried but acquitted
because OF insufficient evidence.
The police recently made
new examination of the murder
chamber, which had been left
virtually untouched. High up on
window frame an expert dis
covered finger prints, still dis
tinct, although evidently made
long time before. Comparison
with those of Seinicke on the
police records showed they were
his. Rearrested and confronted
with the finger-print evidence.
Seinicke broke down and con-
fessed.
