A MURDERER'S TERM.
terrible CRIME for which an
INNOCENT MAN SUFFERED.
Ten Years Behind the Bars—A Victim
of Circumstantial Evidence Con
victed Wrongfully of Arson—A Life
of Trial.
From the Newark CM
"It is quito natural mnl usual for prison
ers to protest that they are innocent," said
the prison doctor one night last week, while
enjoying his cigar after supper and admir
ing the view up and down the Sound to a
reporter. "In fact, we rarely find a con
vict who will admit his guilt even though
the evidence in his case were thoroughly
conclusive. Nobody in the prison ever be
lieves a convict’s story because this fact is
so w ell known. Of course there are marked
exceptions and I have one in mind which is
really interesting, l>eeause it Bhows how ill
luck will sometimes pursue aa individual
and how a weak will leads a youth into
trouble.
THE VICTIM or BAD LUCK.
“For a long time we had employed in the
1 arber shop a young man named Whipple,
who was born up near Canojohnrie. His
father was a sma l farmer, atid, after giving
tiie boy a sort of a pick-up education, he
sent him to learn the trade of hariiess-mak
ing in a near-by town.
“I knew the family quite well, and learned
the earlier incidents of the lad’s career at
the time through local gossip. Young
Whipple did nor like the smell of harness
leather and grumbled a great deal about his
fate. Ilis father kept him at the business,
however, and thrashed him once or twice for
making threats against his employer, who
was really a hard man to got along with,
and frequently used the buckle-end of a
strap on his apprentices when anything
went wrong in the shop. Whipple was not
a particularly bright boy, and as ho got the
most of the larruping, he had the most
cause to complain, and over and over again
he had been heard to threaten to burn the
harness shop.
ACCUSED OF ARSON.
"When he bad been working for the har
ness-maker about a year the shop took Are
one night anil was burned down to the
ground. Of course everybody thought
that Whipple set it on fire, and the suspi
cion was in a measure substa' tiated when
search was made for him and it was found
that he had fled.
“Efforts were made to capture him, but
they were ail unsuccessful at the time, and
it w as not until n onths later that tidings of
him were obtained. Then we heard that
he was arrested at Utica for picking pockets
at a political meeting. Nobody relieved
this to be possible, and his father went on
to see him. Young Dick told his father that
he was perfectly innocent of the charge and
tiiat he was arrested with nearly a dozen
other strangers on the day of his arrival in
tl>© city with n traveling dentist, for whom
he drove a phaeton.
CONVICTED OS CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE.
“On being,arrested he was put in a big
cell with four other prisoners, all of whom
had been searched in a careless manner by
one of the officers, and nothing criminating
was found on any of them. Next morning,
for some reason, they were searched again,
and a stolen pocket-book, rifled of its con
tents, was found in the ouiside pocket of
Dick's sack coat. Tnis was considered to be
conclusive evidence against the youth, and
ho was committed for trial, while the others
were discharged for want of evidence against
them. It caused his father considerable
trouble and expense to get the boy off, and
just as soon a. he was acquitted a constable
grabbed him !fn the charge of burning the
harness shop. He came home in custody,
and was prunptly committed on the charge
of incendiarism.
“At his trial he set up an alibi, which,
while it wus proved to the satisfaction of
his father and a few friends of the family,
did not convince the jury, and Dick was
convicted and sent to prison for two years.
Meanwhile the harness-maker was haring
trouble with the insurance company, and
he pressed the conviction as a clincher that
he should have his money. The insurance
people were not satisfied and refused to pay
the claim, The case was brought to suit,
and in the trial it proved that toe company
had a sharp detective working on the case
for months and he testified to the removal
of a large quantity of stock from the shop
just before the fire was discovered. This
brought the harness-maker under suspicion,
and althoagb it could not be proved that he
tired his place, it was proved that he was
trying to defraud the insurance company.
THE REAL KIKE-BUG CAPTURED.
"Whipple at once engaged the services of
the detective to work upon his son’s case,
and in a few days was able to prove that
the boy ran away eight hours before the
fire, and that his alibi was capable of the
most complete establishment, ihe case was
reopened and Dick got out of prison after
serving four mouths. He left town imme
diately and wont back to his native village.
His ill luck pursued him, however, and he
nevei- missed getting into trouble if there
was a chance.
“I next saw him when I took my place in
the prison. He was then in the barber shop
with two oth rs, and was cheerful, thougli
protesting his innocence constantly. 1 had
several long talks with him when the oppor
tunity afford-tl. He told mo the history of
his travels after leaving home the last time.
He said that ho tramped over 100 miles
without other incident than being half
star veil. and then he was arrested one morn
ing while sleeping in a hayrick and con
fronted with a charge of highway robbery.
IN DANGER OF BEING LYNCHED.
“A farmer had been attacked on the road
the night before by three tramps and beaten
into insensibility. They robbed him of his
watch and money and left him in the road
for dead. It happened about four miles
down tho road, iu the direction in which
Dick was going. He was hauled before the
local magistrate and then taken into the
presence of the injured man, who positively
identified him as one of his assailants. It
looked dark for Dick, but he was beginning
to be reconciled to such mistakes, and spent
the niglit in jail with a resigimiou which
surprised him. If the farmer died, Dick
was in for a hanging-match, ami if ho lived,
there was a chance of life youth being passed
in prison. Ho tried to recall the incidents
of the previous ovening, and could reinnm
berbut one which might bo of use to him.
“Ho asked for a drink of water at a farm
house .six or seven minis liuck on the road
that evening, and a young woman asked it
ho wouldn’t rather have milk, and gave him
u dipperful. This he thought might estab
lish an alibi, as it was eleven or twelve miles
from the sceno of the robbery, and must
have occurred w ithin an hour or two of the
time the turmer was attacked. Would the
girl remember him and come to his aid if
he sent lor herf He believed that she would
and ibis gave him comfort enough to per
mit him to rest well.
THE WRONG MAN AGAIN.
“Ou the following day he was surprised
by the jailer coming to him and telling
him he was free to go. He was told that a
mistake had been made, and that the reul
culprit* had been caught witli the stolen
property iu their possession. He was well
treated, and sent on Ids way with a small
sum of money collected tor his benellt.
This enabled him to reach New York city
on the cais, and lie gut employment at har
nuM-s itching iu a nig shop, and worked
steadilv for ueuriy a your. Then he was
unfortunate enough to see a man knocked
down iu the street and robbed, and not
s side enough to keep ids’mouth shut
about it. lie was telling somo bystandum
just how It happened when an officer col
lared him and took him in an a witness. Ho
sjieut seven mouths in the house of deten
tion while tho thief was out ou bail and ote
taining postponement and stays of proceed
h'gs.
MORE MISFORTUNE.
“Whon he was finally released, he was fat
and hearty, but he had lost his job and was
forced to look for work elsewhere. He
went to Bridgeport and got work, but was
waylaid and beaten almost to death for
filling the place of one of the strikers. He
was m the hospital for many weeks, and
was unable to work when he got out. Ho
managed to get to Jersey City, and obtained
a job driving a horse car. He worked
steadily until the harness business revived,
and then got employment in Newark. This
lasted a year and was broken up by another
misfortune, for which he was in no way to
blame.
“With a party of shopman s he went on a
May ride one Sunday morning, and thev
had too much beer in the wagons. He drank
but little, and was the quietest man in the
party, but among his companions were three
or four tough young men, and they created a
riot in a quiet little village in Passaic
county. Eignt of the party were arrested
and Dick was among them. They were
temporarily placed in an outbuilding and
guarded by two constables. They inveigled
the constables into the building, beat them
and bound them, and theii escaped. Tiiey
walked home, and then were obliged to
leave the city for fear of arrest.
HIS FALL FROM GRACE.
"Dick was now in for it as much any
body, and, gathering his clothes together,
he went to Puiladelphia, where he procured
work in a shop, and pleased the proprietors
so much that they gave him a trial as a
salesman. He did well in this branch for
awhile, and was making rapid advances
when he fell from grace in Allentown.
CONVICTED OF MURDER.
"From there be drifted out into tho coun
try, working for different harness-makers
for a year or two; and finally became quito
dissipated. During one of his debauches lie
w;,s attacked and severely beaten by a lo
cal tough, and was heard to say that he
would have his heart’s blood for it. The
tough was killed several ei-ks later while
returning from a picnic at which he created
considerable disturbance by promiscuous
fighting. Dick Whipple was not at the pic
nic, and was not seen in tho village during
that day or for a week later.
“Then ho was arrested while drunk nt a
place twenty-five miles from the scene of
tint murder. His face was scratched, his
hand cut, and there was blood on his clothes.
He could nut give any consistent account of
himself, and witnesses were found to prove
that he left tho village in the direction of
the picnic grove. He was tried for man
slaughter, and convicted on the slimmest
of circumstantial evidence. His sentence
was ten years in prison at hard labor, and
there is where I found him. He protested
to me that ho did not kill the man, and
that he was too drunk to hurt anybody. I
believed him implicitly, but could do noth
ing for him, and he served out his time.
Since his discharge I have heard nothing of
him, but 1 will bet he is notout of trouble.”
SEEKING A MADSTONB.
Chicago Parents Find Relief For Their
Boy in St. Louis.
From the St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
What is known as the Smith madstone,
now in the possession of the widow of
Stephen Smith, who lives near Sutton sta
tion, on the Manchester road, has been
brought into requisition within the last two
days for the treatment of a patient said to
have been bitten by ara bid dog. The pa
tient is George Ureonhaigii, a 0-year-old
boy, who received the wouud at Lake Bluff,
near Chicago, where his parents live, one
week ago last Friday. The wounds are in
the left forearm, and aro not yet healed.
They were cauterized by Dr. Bailey, of Chi
cago, who has had the benefit of personal
attendance at the Pasteur hydrophobia hos
pital, in Paris, and who is believed to know
all tbat is to be known of this mysterious
di-ease. It was not definitely known
whether the dog which bit the boy was
rabid or not, as he was killed immediately
afterward, but, in view of the inflammation
which appeared ontho wounds, even after
cauterization, Dr. Bailey himself advised
the application of a madstone, if one could
be found, and suggested St. Louis as the
place where he hud heard Hint such a stone
was h Id. Mrs. Greenhaight wrote to her
father, A. S. Partridge, secretary for the
Brownell & Wright Cur Company, and Mr.
Partridge, after some inquiry, located the
madstone as stated. When he had found it
he telegraphed his daughter, and she arrived
in St. Louis with the boy last Thursday
night. At that time all the wounds ap
peared to have done well except one, over
which a black scale had formed, and around
winch had developed inllammatiou that had
led Dr. Bailey to give it as his opinion that
a bad case of blood-poisoning, if not hydro
phobia, was presented on Friday, seventeen
days after the wounds had been received.
Mrs. Ureenhaight, Mr. Partridge and the
boy went to Button station and found Mrs,
Smith and the coveted madstone. The
stone was applied to the ugliest scab, and
held there nearly an hour before it would
take hold, the delay being very discouraging
to the visitors, but not to Mrs. Smith, who
ins sted that the stone would find the poison
if given a fair chance. Sure enough, at
the end of the first hour after the applica
tion the stone adhered to the scab, uud
stuck fast for another hour, when it dropped
off of itself, and seemed to have become
both darker and heavier. It was boiled in
water awhile, and then placed back on the
wound, which, by this time, hud lost its
scab and the greater part of its ugly redness.
After the second application the boy was
brought back to Mr. Partridge’s residence,
but returned to Sutton station yesterday for
another treatment. To-day ho will go again,
but this will bo bis last trip, as it was said
by Dr. Bailey that the mudstone would not
be effective more than nine days after the
wounds were received. While no hydro
phobic symptoms developed in the boy’s
nervous system, his relatives firmly believe
he was exposed to genuine rabies, and that
the timely discover y and application of the
madstone has saved his life, und there is
none to dispute it. The madstone is about
the size of an egg, generally oval in shape,
and resembles jn specific gravity, color and
general appearance a piece of clean coke.

From the Fern Fork World.
When the steamship Colorado, of the
Wilson lino of ocean steamers, arrived at
her dock, foot of Second street, Hobokon,
yesterday morning, the most noticeable
thing on board was a magnificent-looking
Russian staghound. The canine w.is frisk

got on hoard. Pointing to the animal,
Chief Officer Hals-worth said:
“That dog is for President Cleveland’s
wife. He was transshipped at Hull, Eng
laud, for this country. Ho came from the
Russian court at St. Petersburg. The (log
is one of the finest of his kind I ever saw.
lie is young and very playful. He behaved
well while crossing the ocean, not having
given us the least trouble. He slept on the
lower deck tn a house especially made for
him. His tied was hay. *lbe captain’s
Hcntcli terrier and ho had many a playful
buttle, which always ended in a draw.”
The hound was consigned to Handerson &
