of his home the high regard if which
he was held by the class. We inOurn
with those he loved and feel honored
that he was one of us. His example
of sterling worth and uprightness of
christian character he has left with

he has gone to prepare for the joys of
the life to come. We mourn his los.-,

THE SKA TAKES TOM.
Triplr Murdcrrr o? High t^is at
I.ih( I'ayh For ('rime
Portland, Maine, Jan. 10.?After
three decades of waiting, the sea had j
claimed its own, in payment for
what has been termed one of the
most brutal murders in history, veteran
mariner* said today when they
learned that the third day had passed
with no word from r*pt Thomas j
M. Bram and the schooner Alvena. j
That Captain Bram, master of the
four-masted schooner, which sent out
a call of distress from Cape Hatteras
Sunday, Ts the same Thomas M. Bram
who was sentenced to hang by a Boston
court for the murder lu 1896 of
two men and a woman on the high
seas, was tin- confident expression of
local seafaring men.
And equally as confidently did the
men shake their heads with doubt
when the possibility of the Alvena'i
reaching this port with her cargo of
lumber from Jacksonville, Fla., was
suggested.
They believed that the man, who
was convicted but who escaped the
gallows through the intervention of
Mary Roberts Rinehart, novelist, and
was paroled by President Taft and
pardoned by President Wilson, had
paid the toll of the sea.
Aboard the barkentine Herbert Fuller,
on a morning in 1896, came the
opening chapter of tlye tragedy, with
the discovery <>f| tjhe badly-beaten
bodies of Captain Nash, master of
the fuller, his wife, and the second
mate. The murderous deed had been
committed with an axe.
After his release from the Atlanta
penitentiary, Bram opened a bar in
that city and was said to have accumulated
a fbrtune, by which he
was able to buy several schooners.
The Alvena, now missing, was said
to be the first of his vessels of which
he actually assumed command. She
was leaking badly at the time of her
message of distress, and her crew
was suffering from the cold. No word
from the schooner has since been received.
