Exonerates His Friends. Salem, Ore., May 10.?Exonerating two pals sentenced to hang with him, for the killing of two prison guards in a jail break, Tom Murray, bank robber and .outlaw* wrote a note asserting he and a dead convict were the murderers and hanged himself with a bed sheet in the Oregon state penitentiary here last night. N Calf With Three Legs Nothing strange 'about that?for nil we have ever seen had three legs; but nature saw fit to always give them one more, the required number for satisfactory locomotion. But not so with the calf in this case. On the farm of J. R. Starnes, who lives on Lancaster, Route 7, in the northeastern part of the county, one of his cows, on April 20, gave birth to a calf with three legs?two fully developed front legs and one fully developed hind leg, the other hind leg being of a miniature specimen. The calf, though, of course, handicapped to some extent in its movements, is healthy and growing every day and gets about among the other cattle with the dexterity of an animal with full locomotion equipment, says Mr. "S t a r n < > s La n c a s t e r News. nl- . I CHAPMAN'S EXECUTION frnly Way to Puniah Slayer Who Dv>* fled Priaon Walla The o|J, familiar argument# are., now blossoming out, inspired by the Chapman case, that the law is "re vengeful" in taking human life. However, those who argcfu against capital punishment jjji-rfnti score have missed the point. It is not revenge which the law seeks, but protection, and if society has no right to protect itself then we ought to burn down our jails and be done with it, says the Bridgeport (Conn.) Post. However, the potyt that society t does have a right to protect itself against the gun or the knife and the blackjack is conceded by those who argue ugainst capital punishment, and assert that life imprisonment would be just as' effective. The utter falsity of this argument needs no better illustration than the cases of Chapman and Anderson. These two men had been sentenced to twenty-five years -imprisonment in the strong Federal penitentiary at Atlanta. For either of them the sentence, if carried out, would have left them old men and might be considered a life sentence. But both of them escaped. Then what happened? Policeman Skelly was murdered. Mrs. Ben Hance was murdered. Ben Ilance was murdered. The. policeman who arrested Anderson was murdered. Here are four violent deaths (not counting'the deaths of Chapman and Anderson) all arising from the fact that imprisonment of murderous men is an effective way* of restraining them. There is always the chance of escape, and there is always the chance of pardon and commutation. The question can be argued backward and forward all day, but the fact still remains, that there are four murdered people?the two policemen and Mr. and Mrs. Hance?whose deaths arose from one fact alone, that the law of imprisonment failed to restrain Chapman and Anderson. Ttue at the tim<fthat Chapman and Anderson were first imprisoned the crime of murder was not charged against them and imprisonment was all that could be meted out to them. But after they had demonstrated what they could and would do, why should society hesitate further to protect itself by the means which, j once and for all, put a stop to further killings? Why is it necessary lh:iT innocent people who are not enemies- of society, who are usefulcitizens, who had decent, honorable lives, should be slaughtered in cold blood while society itself wriggles and squirms and sheds tears at the j idea of applying the one effective j means of staying the murderer's hand ?
