Four murderers were hanged In ,

P Shiblawski, Ewald Shiblawski, his
brother; Phillip Sommerling ancr
Thomas Schultz, slayers of Fred W.
Ouilsow, Jr., a truck farmer, who
was held up, robbed and murdered
whilo ho was returning to his home
in tho outskirts of the city last October.
The Shiblawski brothers were the
ilrst to mount the scaffold and the
drop had scarcely fallen when a bailiff
from Judge McKinley of the superior
court rushed into tho jail office
r and summoned Jailer Davies to
court. Tho command was not obeyed
and instead Chief Deputy SherifT Peters
telephoned to the judge that two
of tho men had been hanged and that
f the executions would proceed unless
a formal stay was prsented.
No writ was issued and Sommerling
and Schultz followed their companions
in crime on the gallows.
Representatives of tho State's attorney's
office resisted attempt to delay
tho executions and told Judge McKinley
tba,t tho petition alleging insanity,
which under the law is a bar to
execution, was presented for the purpose
of delay.
This was hotly denkul by counsel
for the condemned men and a wordy
.altercation occupied tho minutes in
v liich tho four wcro being prepared
l'( r the gallows. Judge McKinley declined
to permit tho petition to he
l*iled until it had been read. The
prosecutors insisted that tho petij
lion, which was signed by Rev. Mr.
" lteponski, was not in accord with tho
I facts.
Counsel for Thomas Jennings, a
negro who was also to ho hanged
Friday, while tho executions of the
Cuilsow murderers were taking place
wero arguing before Judge Landis
that tho rights of their client had
been invaded by tho introduction of
linger print evidence in seeking to
^ convict him of tho murder of Clarence
Hiller, a railroad official, whoso
home the negro sought to rob.
Argument on tho writ of habeas
corpus was made before Judge Lantiis.
Jennings' counsel declared that
tho finger print evidence was inadmissable,
because Jennings had been
compelled to glvo tho print while ho
^ was in jail.
The petition before Judge McKinley
was signed by Rev. Francis Pap.onski
of Saint Stanislaus' Roman
Catholic church. The priest has vispod
tho Guilsow murderers in their
cells and declared that they were of
unsound mind and subject to hallucinations.
None of the four white men who
* v?re hanged for the murder of Fred
Cuilsow were over twenty-four years
of age, and two others who were Involved
In this crime escaped tho deserved
fate of their fellows on account
of their youth. Both were sent
ro tho penitentiary for life. They
wore Frank Kita and Leo Suchomski,
each 1 6 years old.

his assailants to take his money, but
to spare his life for the sake of his
wife and month-old baby. Instead,
his slayers attacked him with clubs,
knives and revolvers. After they had
killed him they mutilated his body.
They were arrested while trying to
*?< '1 OIulsow's horses,
n The crime for which these four
men paid tho extreme penalty was
committed on the 20th of last October.
All six wero found guilty on
tho 12th of last December, but as
above stated two were sent to the
penitentiary for life on account of
their youth. Every effort was made
to keep them from being hung by
their lawyers, but they could not
p. i them.
Thomas Jennings, tho negro who
was hanged for murdering a railroad
official, whoso house ho hart
gone to rob, was thirty-two years of
age. TTIs lawyers fought hard for
him too, but they could not save him

JUMPS FROM A BRIDGE ,
HORSE IiEAl'S ON TRAIN AS
W1IILK PASSING lTNDER.
Itolled to Kdjje, Fell to tlie Ground,
?
Scrambled to It# Feet and Ran
Away.
The unusual sight was witnessed ,
it Chattanooga, Tenn., some days
igo, by the passengers and crew on
\ train on the Cincinnati Southern
Hallway, of a horse leaping from a
bridge, alighting on top of a passenger
coach while the train was running
thirty-live miles an hour, falling
to the ground, immediately
scrambling to its feet and running
nwiiy.
The horse had been frightened by
a Southern railway train and had
taken to the concrete bridge which
spans the tracks of the Cincinnati
Southern. As the animal caine to
the center of tho bridge, the Cincinnati
train passed under tho structure
at a rapid rate of speed. The
frightened animal sprang far clear
of the bridge, alighting squarely on
his feet oil the roof of a coach.
He staggered, about like a brakeman
who had lost his balance, fell
heavily to tho roof, rolled to the
edge, and fell into space. As he went
ho kicked the ventilators out of tho
car, and in passing a window, on his
way down, his feet crashed through
the glass taking tho window out, sash
and all.
The train was stopped and backed
to the spot where tho horse had fallen.
Tho animal was lying as if dead
when tho train crew reached him.
Flagman J. It. Ford was first to reach
tho prostrate animal, and was startled
to see tho beast leap to Its feet
and start to run. Apparently from
the manner in which the horse made
its get-away, it was none tho worse
for its peculiar experience. The owner
of the horse has not been located.

TWO MORE DA KING THEFTS.

Daylight Robberies Seem to He Fashionable
in New York.
Recent highway robberies In
crowded New York streets, of which
Thursday's "Wild West" hold-up of
a taxlcab and tho robbery of two
bank messengers of $2f>,0 0 0 In cash,
was tho most sensational In years,
wero followed Friday and Friday
night by othor hold-ups almost a?
spectacular. In tbo last of these,
reported Thursday night, George
ITorth, a dealer in diamonds, was
robbed by two men, who jumped
from a taxlcab at Tiktry-fifth street
and Fifth avenue.
Horth was beaten over tho head
by ono of the men, while the other
snatched tho wallet from his Inside
coat pocket. Tho men then jumped
back into the taxlcab, which disappeared
In the maze of Fifth avenue
traffic. ITorth, his head showing severe
contusions, reported his loss to
the police.
The earlier robbery occurred in the
Bronx in broad daylight, when William
Dougherty, messenger for a business
firm, was attacked by a youth
of 18, it is claimed, and robbed of
$340, his firm's payroll, which ho was
bringing from a bank.
Tho robbery took place in a vacant
lot and Dougherty's assailant escaped.
Scores of business men and
bankers niado application at police
headquarters Friday for permits to
carry revolvers.

UFAVY DAMAGES.
Against tho Southern Boll Telephone
Company.
Tho State says tho jury In the case
of Mrs. Minnie C. Dundy against the
Southern Hell Telephone Company
Friday rendered a verdict of $20,000
for the plaintiff. The caRO has
consumed tho entire week of common
pleas court for Richland county. It
is rather peculiar that the verdict In
tho same case when tried in 1910 was
the same as rendered Friday. The
defense appealed from tho previous
verdict on '^ints of law and a new
trial was r"anted. The suit was for
$50,000 growing ' of tho death of
Chas. Lundy in 1909 in the northern
part of Columbia. Cha's. Lundy was
the husband of Mrs. Minnie C. Lundy.
Saved the Yeggmon.
A punctured automobile tiro was
worth $1,700 to yeggmen who
robbed tho Argylo State bank near

about fifteen minutes, during whTck
the robbers got away with their loot.
Thoro is no trace of them as yet.

AGREES TO RECESS
?
SOUSE VOTES TO RECEDE INSTEAD
OF ADJOURNING
ID MEET AGAIN IN MAY
.
rho Concurrent Resolution to the
Al>ov? Effect Met With Determined
Opposition, Its Opponents Crying
Politics, But It Passes by a Ma
jorlty of Thirteen.
The house voted Friday to take a
recess from noon Saturday until May
28. The concurrent resolution to
this effect passed the house hy a vore
of 5 8 to 4 5. The resolution will bo
considered by the senate today. It
was introduced by the judiciary committee
of the house.
Members of the house advocated
taking a recess on the grounds that
the code should be corrected before
it was adopted, and that the committee
appointed to investigate the
former State dispensary commission
and others should be allowed an opportunity
to report.
The recess resolution was objected
to because it would be inconvenient
for the members of the house who
were farmers to return in May. Opponents
of the resolution raised the
cry of "politics" against the measure,
but they failed to defeat it, aitnongh
a filibuster was instituted to prevent
its passage.
During the course of the debate on
the recess resolution Mr. Osborne
had something to say about Mr. Sawyer,
who persisted in making remarks
in an audible voice, while the
Spartanburg member was speaking.
Mr. Osborne said that Mr. Sawyer
' " ? 1 - - ** ~ 1 I-.? 4 1-.
reminaea mm 01 a jumping-ja^*.,
"one of these things that bobi up
when you pull n string and squeak
when you pinch it."
Mr. Stevenson stated that the judiciary
committee was fully prepftred
to assume the responsibility for recommending
that a recess be taken
until May. Ho called Mr. Moore's
attention to the fact that the date of
the proposed recon venement was
nearly two weeks after the meeting
of the Democratic convention.
Mr. Stevenson said that tbo general
assembly had appointed a committee
to investigate the former State
dispensary commission and others,
directing this committeo to make a
report, which would bo impossible
unless tho general assembly recon-'
vened.
Tho governor, said Mr. Stevenson,
after making certain charges, had
held up tho bill appointing the investigating
committeo last year, ana returned
it this session, thus preventing
tho investigation which ho had
asked.
The General Assembly had
overridden tho executive veto and apponted
a committee, which had not
vet had time to make tho investigation.
Tho committee should b* allowed
to report, and this was one
reason for taking a recess.
Mr. Stevenson said that there was
a chance to get the code checked up
and printed at a lower cost, if tho
general assembly would wait before
adopting It.
Mr. Stevenson declared that the
governor had practically given notice
that he intended to abrogate the contract
to furnish J. M. Graham convict
labor, unless the general assembly
abolished the hosiery mill, which
tho house had refused to do, and that
steps would be taken to try to reach
nn enuifablo agreement. Tills was
another thing to consider at the recess
session.
The concurrent resolution was
amended by Mr. Doar to provide that
solicitors, clerks and attaches of tho
general assembly should receive no
compensation during the recess session.
After accepting tho amendment of
Mr. Doar, which provided that tho
members of tho general assembly,
the solicitors, clerks and other attaches
should receive no compensation
for services during the extra
session, tho house sent tho concurrent
resolution to tho senato by a
voto of 5 8 to 4 5.

of law under the constitution.
"With the information gathered by
a life of study fitting him peculiarly
for public service he was called to

There ho demonstrated unsurpassed
capacity to handle tlio practical affairs
of government. He proved that
a ripe scholar could possess rare executive
ability.

KILLED GOV. GOEBEL"
1YING DECLARATION OF A MAN !
SLAIN IN ARKANSAS
VO DETAILS ARE GIVEN
rictim of Saloon Tragedy, Former
llreathitt County Feudist, According
to His Statement, With Irfist
lircntli Declares He Took Life of
Kentucky Governor, In <Joiu moon.
That ho murdered Governor William
Goebcl, of Kentucky, In cold
blood, tit. Frankfort, in January,
1000, vras the dying declaration of
James Gilbert, self-confessed gunman
and ex-feudist of Breathitt
County, Kentucky, who was fatally
wounded in a pistol fight with a bartender
at Helena, Ark., Thursday
morning.
No proof other than the man's last
words were offered, nor did he relate
any details of tho killing. The
victim of periodical irregular habits
of life, Gilbert came hero about throe
years ago, and soon became known
as a dangerous man, although under
ordinary circumstances he was peaceable.
One affray in which ho figured resulted
in his opponent's death some
timo ago, but Gilbert alleged self-dofence,
and he was set at liberty.
While under detention In connection
with this affair, Gilbert's demeanor
attracted tho marked attention of tho
sheriff and his deputies, with tho result
that he later accepted an appointment
aa deputy sheriff. For
months he was the terror of certain
desperadoes, making periodical excursions
into the community and performing
deeds more famed for their
daring than for their valor.
Jt was early this week that Gilbert's
return to irregular habits is
said first, to have been noticed. On
Wednesday night he engaged In a revolver
battle with a stranger, but
neither was injured, and a truce was
established because of each man's
having exhausted his ammunition.
The affair was hushed up, in the hopo
mat Uliocrt WOUUl return tu ma i 0^ular
employment on the sheriff's deputy
forco.
The end came in a down-town saloon,
when, for what was undoubtedly
a fancied insult, ho whipped out
his pistol, with the announcement
that the bartender was doomed. The
bartender was the quicker of the two
and shot first. Gilbert sank to the
floor, mortally wounded.
Realizing that the end had como,
Gilbert smiled faintly and after making
an attempt to joke about dying
in his boots, declared that ho fired
the shot that caused tlio death of
Governor Goebel. Whether he would
have given details of his alleged killing
of Goebel can never bo known,
for Gilbert died within a few minutes
after making the statement, which
he repeated over and over again with
the assertion that ho "could never
get over it."
