The pmiltciUlary wall * this forenoon wit
nessed another of the silent tragoJlos In
nhiuh n convict accepted tlio uncortalntlon
of dentil for the sure prospect of freedom
within a few months. Thomns Carroll , n con
vict sent up from Oinnha , took advantage of
the Inattention of Ills-guard , placed a rope
Around hli neck and swung himself Into
eternity nlino.it within the sliiht of hli fol
low convicts nnd within a fovv foot from the
guntd who had him and tils companions to
custody.
According to the stntomcnts made by the
guard and others at the penitentiary to
Shorlff ami Acting Coroner McClay , Carroll
had boon looked upon as being mentally un-
tmlnnncd for mora than a year past. Last
fall ha attempted to end his llfo by cutting
Ills throat with the ragged cdgo of a plcco of
broken ilass. The attempt was a failure
nnd evrr BIIICO Carroll has been kept out of

Tills lureuoon , in company with a number
of follow convicts , ho was taken to the barn

working' for some time , Carroll naked per ]
mission of the guard to RO aim got a drink )
His request was nccudod to nnd ho was
pimed for o few moments. As ho
did not return within a reasonable
time , the guard looked around the
barn for him. Ho was found hanging by n
rope from one of the r.ifters in the barn.
Although but a few momcuts had elapsed
Binco ho had disappeared llfo was already
extinct. Ho had tied a perfect hangman's
nnosn and adjusted it in a professional hang
man's manner. His neck had boon broken
by the full and the prison surgeon , Dr.
Ilout/ . asserts thai death must have been
lUmost instantaneous. After examining the
body and taking the statements of the
phvslcl.in and the guard Sheriff McClay
uaino to the conclusion that no inquest
would ho necessary , ns It wns clearly a case
of premeditated and deliberate suicide.

Honl tlin Third Victim.
There is a provident superstition at the
Nebraska penitentiary that when death
invades the grim walls of the Institution ho
always claims three victims. The other day
vrhon a convict died ot blood poisloning it

two more within a few days. Tom Carroll ,
who suicided today was the second of tno
unfoitumito trio , and the third is likely to
Do a convict named Soul , who Is dying at
the penitentiary hoanital tonight.
Soul was sent up from Omaha four years
Bgo for attempted murder and has a twonty-
yeur sentence to nnish. Ho Is a victim of
consumption in the most advanced stage.
Governor Croimso had commuted his sen
tence so Unit his itino will expire Monday ,
but the man will not llvo to gain his free

years afterwards in the regular army.
The remains of Carroll were shipped to
Omaha tonight. In speaking of Carroll to

man's head was frightfully scarred. "When
Carroll was received at the penitentiary ho

brought on behalf of the Sandwich company
and several other creditor * of the Lawrence
Improvement company , which failed in 1SU1.
The potltion filed with the clerk of
the court aliases that P. P Lawrence , man
ager of the bankrupt Improvement company ,
had accumulated debts to the amount of
$20,000 , and that by a fraudulent agreement
with the onici.ils of the Lincoln National
bank ho created a fictitious Indebtedness to
the amount of 515,000. The bank then , in

ment , attached the property hold by Law-
ronco. The latter confessed Judgment , the
property was ordered sold and the bank
