Postmaster-General Gresham’s father
was killed while be was Sheriff of Har

i. s thus told'by a Chicago Tribum cor- 1
respondent: called the little cot
“A constable at .
tace and informed Sheriff Gresham that
Levi Sipes, who was a notorious charao
ter of those days had been stealing and
hat hethe constable) was afraidto ar
rest him. ‘I will go,’said Gresham, and,
pnt ting on his hat and coat, he went
with the constable about ten miles, al
most to the eilge of the county, where
Sipes was found at a dance. When
Gresham aud the constable entered the
room a company of perhaps two dozen
men and women of the lower order were
ou the floor dancing to the music of two
fiddles. Sipes, like the others, had his
coat off, but when he saw the Sheriff he
put §oor. it ou aud stepped foXweil out of another
Gresham and when he
got outside Sipes was m the corner be
tween the house and an old-fashioned
chimney. The Sheriff saw him and told
him what he had come for. Sipes re
plied that if he advanced he would shoot
lum, whereupon the Sheriff stepped for
ward to make the arrest, when Sipes
bred, the ball taking effect in the tem
pie, and as he feU Sipes stabbed him m
the heart with a knife, the wound prov
mg fatal, Gresham dying without a word,
biivs was taken to jail two days later.
and after a long and tedious trial, in
which almost every person at the dance
was a witness, tbe jury rendered the fob
lowing verdict the morning thr^ of April 23,
lS34, after being out days: ‘We,
the jurv, find the defendant, Levi Sipes,

indictment, and do find him guilty of

punished at bard labor in the State's
prison for and during That the term of
twenty-one years, and he be fined
the sum of $1,000.’ The finding of the
jnry for manslaughter, instead of mnr
der, was upon the grounds that the law
did not require the Sheriff to pnt kis
life at stake to discharge official duties.
Sipes went to the penitentiary, but for
some reason, in a short time was par
doued by the Governor.”
