So frequently did the county

 Machine CIcgged
 DiNapoli testified that Incaslas- ciato had come to the store last Sat- urday afternoon and after having received change for Q quarter in- serted three coins in the machine. He said one of the coins which had "a black appearance" fell to the floor and that the accused had picked 1t up hulriedly and put it in his pocket. He said he became sus- picious of Incaslasciatos actions and went over to the machine and pushed the button which returns the coins. Finding the machine wouldn't work, he said, he called Masone and the slugs were found to have clogged 1t.

 Murdered in His Cell
 On the 18th of February, 1897, while Dr. Ruiz and his wife and five little children were enjoying the glories of the morning sunshine, marching feet were heard coming toward the lawn, and @ squad of Spanish infantry grounded arms, while the officer in command irl- formed Dr. Ruiz that he had war; rant for his arrest, on a charge of sedition against the Spanish gov- ernment.
 He was torn from the arms of his wife and small family by the sol- diery, handcuffed and taken to a dungeon in Guanaboca prison. His family never saw him alive again, or dead either for the matter of that. Tn his report of this atrocious murder, General FitzF1ugh Lee, who was American Counsel in Havana, said that the unfortunate man was kept incommunicado in his underground cell for three hundred and fifteen hours. A 1one- ly prisoner, an American with nc one to appeal to in Q cold stone cell that had no light, day or night There was no ventilation except what air filtered through Q small rectangular transom over the iron by General Lee, who so described 1t. door. The cell was inspected after Dr. Ruiz realized at last that he was doomed to death, that he would never leave his cell alive. No hope of ever feeling the arms of his wife or children around his neck, or see- ing the light of the sun again. Tn the height of his agony, in the darkness of that terrible dvugeon he Hnanaegd to scrawl on the back of an old steamer chair, where the American Counsel found 1t, a rnes- sage to his wife and children, scrawled in his own blood for he had no pen, pencil or paper. The message read:
 His Last Message
 Mercedes, Rene, Evangeline, Ecardita, Gloria, goodbye. My chil- dren of my life. I give you my blessing. Be obedient to your mother. They will kill me, if I am taken to Havana. Tell everything Goodbye, Rita, of my soul"
 That he was killed, either by 8 firing squad, or cut to pieces by inachetes, is undoubted, for he was neither seen or heard of again. Death by the machetes, chopped tc pieces, was the favorite death re- served for Americans, by the double faced murderer Weyler, when he could do so in the dark, as the killing of Govin and others, never revealed. And yet there are so- called historians today who white apologies for Weyler and the Spaniards for that period, who describe the blowing up of the Maine as an act of God.
