"You aro a pretty rugged looking corpse," was remarked. "Yen, I am In pretty fair shape, though 1 lon't feel exactly like, my formur self." "Ia not that duo to worrlment and thought about the awful crime you com uilttcd?" "Well, thcro aro sonio things worry mo aside from tho condition ot my health, but nf (lit I I would rather not spoak." l'nynter Wanted it Certificate. "When did you lout hear from Nebraska?" "About twelve) weeks ago. Mother got n letter from Governor Foynter, In which he asked for a physician's certificate Sho tore the loiter up, or I would show It to you. Sho asked mo what to do about It and I told her to do tho best sho could for him, for I thought ho wanted to uso It In polltlcB, and as ho helped mo out I wanted to help him out. Mother answered tho letter, but I think tho certificate was never sent. I hnvo worked steady for over five months slnco I got n Job and hnvo net lost n day. As to tho pardon, I enn only say that I owo my success In regain ing my liberty to Lcldlgh nnd Governor Voynter. Haw or why tho ncheme to got nto u pardon started beforo I or any of my relatives asked for ono I cannot ex plain. It may bavo started while I was sick, but at tho tlmo It was grnnt'od I was recovering rapidly. If there was such it thing us money used to get It, It was without my knowledge No doubt such things bavo beep dono nt that same place, but I Can't say It was lu my caso." "How did you happen to give your name us Benwell when you were arrested?" A f mill il Other Crimes. "Tho othor fellow cavo tho namo of Harry Hill. That was not his right namo. Noticing that bo gavo a wrong namo I gavo ono, too. I knew, however, that If I, was caught at It that an alias would tnako It hard for mo, so 1 gavo my name as John Uenwell Kearns.

WV.Ilo I was in tho penitentiary railroad dottctlvos had me, connected with a Job that bad been dono and, I expected, Intended to prosccuto mo should I ever get out. When I got out It was so arranged that nobody should know It and my first thought last night was that ho hud followed mo up. I was more Interested In keeping myt Identity a secret on that account than on account of notoriety. "I have nothing to say about tho Cass county affair," camo the reply when asked about It. "I was convicted, sent to the pcnlteutlury and pardoned. That la the story ot record and that Is all tho story I'll glvo you. I am a .free man and I hopo to get nlong an It nothing ot tho kind had over bappenod. I will forget It, whether other people do or not." "There goes n man with strong and dangerous orlmhlul Instincts,'1 remarked Uetectlvo Foster, ono ot tho shrewdest officers In tho Dominion .ot Cannda. "1 think society Is better off without such characters. Look at his firm Jaw, low forehead and cnt-llko' oyes. I'll watch that man from this time on, that's cor tain." Kearn. Didn't Tell All. It Is ovtdent from Kearns' conversation that ho did not tell nil ho knows In con coction with tho pardon. It Is qulto evi dent that tho murder of tho old man Is not tho only crime that concerns htm. That ho committed other crlmos for wh.ch he has never atoned or been npprchendod Is qulto certain. Nevertheless, ho drcBses well, looks a trim as a successful stock broker and outside ot his family, Chlof Sherwood and Detective Foster nobody hero In Ottawa knows any ot his dark history. Ho weighs about ISO pounds and Is a perfect plcturo ot tho Ideal athlete. Kearns Incidentally spoko ot affairs con nected with the management ot tho peni tentiary and said that officials nnd at taches smuggled In opium, whisk and morphine to certain Inmates and sold It to them. It Is a common thing, ho said, to take money awuy from prisoners nnd The Small of the Back That Is where some people feel weak.all the time.

On tho evening of Novem ber 1, 1893, these men entered tho room of the Akeson farm house, near Union, In Cass county, whllo the family was at sup per and nftor ordering tho Inmates to sur render, began nrlng. Mattes Akeson, tho grayhalred husband and father, was killed and his wlfo, orio son and one daughter bndly wounded by tho flrlug.' Itobbery was the motive. Kearns nnd Hill had boon working for a short tlmo on the Akeson farm nnd had been discharged and paid that day because of their Indolen'co nnd Indifference. They know tho old" man In tended to sell a drovo of hogs that day and figured that ho would have tho money at tho House. With' tho money thoy had been paid by him thoy bought n cheap revolver nt Weeping Water and returned to tho house, bent oh robbery. Murder resulted. After an exciting manhunt, tho pair wero takeu and given a trial at Platts mouth. Harry Hill was hanged In tho spring ot 1894 nnd Kearus sent to tho peni tentiary for llfo, although apparently equally guilty. That ho Is now free and In good health, by tho grace of Governor Voynter, wilt be astonishing news to the Imajorlty of Nebrnskans, and certainly to tho good people of Cass county, who only too vividly can recall' the terrible tragedy, An examination of tho records In tho governor's office discloses the solo grounds upon which tho pardon was granted. Therti was no notice published, as tho law pro vides, no application mado and filed nnd Cass county citizens know nothing ot tho transaction until .several weoks .after Ben- well had been released. Jt w)ll bo ob served that in tho 'wholo transaction the mUrdoror's namo Is given' ns "J.' B. Kearns," a name that Would not' "very readily catch the eye ot a person familiar with the crime, but had the namo "Ben well" been connected with tho matter Cass county people would have discovered the Identity of tho man very readily. Tho only basis for tho pardon are. tho follow ing certificates, as appear on the records In tho governor's office: LANCASTER. Neb.. Anrll 24. 1S99.-W. A.

BRYAN IN HUDSON VALLEY Day 3pont in Covering a Triangular Couua ' Talking to Crowds. - SOME NEW VIEWS GIVEN THE PUBLIC Cheerless Cnndlilnte CoiiKrnfulnte. the Trojnna on Their Feult)' to UN l'ersou nnd drown Hu morous nt Coliocs. ALBANY, N. Y Oct. 17. William J. Bryan ran around two sides of a trlanglo today from Hudson to Albany, lucluslvc, and probably spoke to ns cosmopolitan a lot of people as be Iihb addressed during tho cam palgn, At Hudson ho spoke to a gathering of business .people of all classes; nt Troy, to tho capacity of nn opera houso and with nu overflow meeting of collar factory nnd lnun dry employes; nt Mechaulcsvllle to rail road people; at Cohoes to tho mass ot the employes ot tho cotton nnd woolen mills, and at Albany to two Immense meetings, ono In tho opera houso nnd ono outside, com posed of tho best element of tho city. Dur Ing this speech-making trip Mr. Bryan was accompanied by Chairman Frank Campbell, ex-Senator Murphy, ex-Mayor Francis Mai loy of Trpy, Mayor Jones ot Toledo nnd J. J. Delanoy ot Now York. Messrs. Bulger, Dolanoy and Jones alternated lu tho speak lng with Mr. Bryan, assisting nt places where there were overflow meeting. Tho great meotlngs of this trip wero held at Troy, tho homo of cx-Scnator Murphy, nnd Albany, tho homo of ex-Sonator Hill. Mr. Hill Is absent In tho west. At bath Troy and Albany tho meetings wero largo and enthusiastic, Immcnso over flows having to bo held to nccommodato thoco who could not hear Mr. Bryan. Mr. Bryan nlludcd to tuuuy things on this trip which ho has not mentioned at many places during tho catupnlgu. llnsls ot Trojiui Pride. ,U Troy he said: "I know you nre a per severing people, for In thlB town you gavo mo a majority four years ago and your zeal seems to have lasted four years. I nm glad to come among you. I am glnd to commend In your presence tho principles for which tho democratic party stands. I remember rending n letter from Abraham Lincoln to tho republicans ot Boston who wero cclc brattng Jcfferton's birthday. .Do you re member whether the republicans of this community hnvo celebrated Jefferson's hlrhdav ,lfnvn tbnv hnd nnv bnnntlctS till dor republican nuoplces In recent years? 1 think not." At Cohoes Mr. Bryan said: "I recall a trip hero only threo years ago, nnd I ro member your cordial greeting nt that time nnd I was much Impressed by tho falls that hnvo boon such n benefit to your In- dUstry. I am sorry to hear that water has been scarco In tho Mohawk nnd I sup- poso It tho republican party can claim ru sponslblllty for tho abundance ot rain In the west It Is responsible for tho lack of water here. It Is a poor rule that won't work both ways, and If a farmer out west ought to voto tho republican ticket yoir hero ought to voto tho democratic. He paid a high tribute to Lafayotto and his servlco to tho American colonics In their war of freedom and spoke bf tho sift of tho statue of liberty In New York har bor, nnd asked, "Shall wo tako that statue, down and sand It buck to France and tell tho people of Franco that wo are not In tho liberty business any more? Shalt wu send over to England and get a statua ot William the Conqueror nnd placo It tn New York to Indicate the chango that has taken nlaCo lu our iiatldn's Idea?" ... 1.1 ... ' . 1 1 . L..;,.. I 11U itlUUIiy luuetimta nciu uul urun nm promptly as some that had taken place to day". Tho theater was filled to repletion and a large overflow on tho outsldo com roanded Mr. Bryan's attention. Mr. Bryan's voice showed palpable 'signs ot wear. Ho snld, In partf Poor 3lnn nnd the Itlvh. Tho republicans go on tho belief that society Is built on top. They say tako caro of tho well-to-do Bnd they will tako care of tho others, and when you tell them ot tho story ot Lazarus and Dives, thoy say what a lucky man Lazarus was to havo Dives near. Tho republicans In 1S9C said tho prosperity of tho laboring man and tho farmer depended on the pros perlty of tho banker nnd tho business roau. They got It Just rovorsed. The prosperity ot tho business man 'deponds on tho proa perlty ot tho farmer and tho laboring man, for unless wealth Is produced thero Is no wealth to oxchange, and yet the repub llcnns, It they built a houso lis they built Boclcty, would build tho roof first nud then hang the houso to tho root. They go on the theory that the man who has a placo to work aught to bo under some obllgn tlon to his employer. No man employs another unless tho man employed can make enough to pay his wnges and a margin to tho employer. And yet when election day comes tho employer sometimes thinks that tho man who works tor him sells his cltl zenshlp when he sells his labor. And often tho employer tries to coerce the laboring man. If It Is right for an omploycr to voto tho vote of his employo, then I In slst tho law should bo changed so as to give every employer ns many votes as he has employes. Ab It Is now, they some times get away'nnd If tho voto bolongs to tho citizen and not to tho employer, thon every citizen who prizes bis ballot and appreciates tho responsibility of cltl zenshlp should speak out against the In tlmldatton that Is often practiced against thoso who nro In the employ of others." Sevr Position on tho Army. Mr. Bryan then took up tho questions ot trusts and militarism along tho usual lines, Ho called attention to Governor noose volt's argument that the people were not nfrald of a large standing army and said it anyono asked who was afraid ot a largo standing urro to tell him that Governor Roosevelt was, as evidenced by his recent statements that a largo army would be un nocessary except for tho war In tho Philip pines. Speaking of the claim of the republican! that our presenco in the Philippines was duo to destiny, Mr. Bryan said: "Destiny Is tho excuso ot tho Invertebrate, It Is th coward's excuse for falling In with that ho has noUthe strength to resist." Mr. Bryan referred to Mr. Hanna's speech yesterday, in which he said tho public ought not swap horses in crossing a Btrcam and said: "Mr. Hanna Is mistaken. Tho republican party Is not crossing a stream tut an ocean,, u is going back to Euro pean Ideas, and you had best swap horses nnd come back, Instead of crossing the ocean." , Itrynu 1'ecU Good. NEW YOIIK. Oct. 17. v'JIHam J. Bryan breakfasted today with ex-Governor Stone Congressman Richardson, his prlvato sec rotary and Judge Carrow, and nt 8:20 the start was made for tho Qrnnd Central depot to take a train for up-stnto points "I'm In good shape," said Mr. Bryau "I understand I'm to have an easy time of It up the state, nnd I can afford to feel good. Ho laughed at the Joke, for tho fact I that he Is to maka speeches at frequent Intervals ot tho tour. Ho spoke about the number ot persons who Hat their hats by tho big wind at the' outside meetings last eight, and he said tho republican party ought to compensate these people for th loss- "The big republican wind from th west carried them away," he said. Mr. Bryan arrrved at the Grand Central station at 9 o'clock and the train .left at 9:Q3. Before too tram pulled out Mr Bryan said hla reception here had been most satisfactory In every detail. Owing to tho early hour thero was no moro than, tho usual stir about tho station. hoso TWio wero around lifted thclrvhats s they passed nnd n group ot men down the track chbercd. Mr. Bryan's private car, Rambler, v. as ttnehed to. special train, tr. Bryan aid good-bre ' to a few persons and passed Into his car.. Ho appeared later on tho rear platform. Quite a crowd had gathered by this UwK Mr. Bryan un covered and ns tho train pulled out tho crowd cheered; Tho first stop was made at Yonkors. Beforo leaving the Hoffman houso this morning Mr. Bryan turned to Stato Com mitteeman Campbell nud asked: "Do you think the republicans rightly gaugo tho lgnlncnnce'of last night s demonstration? Several persons ahswered In tho negative. "Tho meetlnc'cnrrlcd with It," continued Mr. Bryan, . "Its' own story. It was the largest demonstration I have ever wlt- esscd nnywhero" on any occnslon. The en thusiasm appeared to bo slncero.niid at all tho meetings of last night' my auditors' ap- eared to bo en rapport. I nm perfectly satisfied." Vlco Presidential' Candidate Stcvcnsou was up and about the corridors ot the Hoffmon houso at 0 o'clock this morning. Chnlrman Cnmpboll of tho democratic stato commltteo and Jame K. McGufro of the stnte executlyo commltteo and' National committeeman Richardson met Mr. Steven son and breakfast followed. At SliiK 8IK. SING SING, N. Y Oct. 17. W. J. Bryau made the first stop In his tour of tho stato of Now York at Youkers at 9:30 o'clock. He was received by qulto n throng of people nnd very cordially greeted. Tho utop wan for only ten minutes nnd Mr. Bryan spoke briefly. Ho took tip the subject of trusts nnd warned his ltcnrcra ogatast nil private monopolies. Thn trunts, ho natd, could at ny tlmo elfin down nny of the factories uudcr their control and wero constantly doing so and thus throwing tholr employes out of work all over tho country. Bad as was this stato of nffnlrs' Mr. Bryan dc clarcd that the republican party wns under so many obligations to tho trusts and Its fortunes wero so bound up with theirs that no lcador of tbo'party dared ralso his voice against them. On tho contrary, ho as serted, tho republican party was standing idly oy, allowing tub trusts to cgu tno people, whllo It was devoting Itself largely to collecting campaign funds from the combinations. Ho said that If any ono sup posed that tho masses of the people did not havo an apprehension ot this condition of affairs ho whs mistaken. The poor man, ho said, Is coming to tho democratic party because ho wants n chanco In tho race for llfo. Ho bcllovcs tn equal rights to all nnd special privileges lo none and ho finds tho democratic party In favor of that doctrlno and the republican party opposed to It Tho democratic party Is drawing tho poor man becauso ho docs not want to get his hands Into other nnonle's cachets. Ho. simply wants' to keep other people's hands out of his pocket. ApnenlN for Annlnnldn. Mr. Bryan closed with a reference to militarism and Imperialism and with nn appeal to tho American pcoplo to let the Filipinos work out their own destiny. Mr. Bryan spoko for flvo minutes from tho rear platform of tho car to a good crowd at Tarry town.. PQUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y., , Oct., 18. At Nowburgh Mr. Bryan spoko to a crowd several thousand -.pcoplo from a stand, In front of tho court houso and the speech wns frequently .uml loudly annlauded.

Ho read an editorial artlclo irom a rewDurgn newspaper concerning tho trusts which ho said was an effort to convince tho pcoplo that the1 trusts are ad ministered In their Interests.

Ho ran out lnte tho hall and lound It nblar.a. Ills shouts nroused tho others In the house, but the flames had already gained florco headway and few of thoso In tho building had time to Bave thomselvoa by tho stairs. On the third floor of No. 45 lived Charles Sass, his wire and four children, nis mother-in-law and Mrs. Horowitz. Sass took tho child nearest nt hand and rushed to tho hro csenpo. Ho managed to got down to tho balcony In front of tho build Ing on tho second floor and supposed that his wlfo nnd tho othoM wore following him. Mm. Horowitz was the only ono who fol lowed him. however. Sho took tho child from his arms when sho saw tholr escape cut olf and cried to a pollcomah below to catch It. The policeman held out his arms and as thn child fell ho caught It hafely and shouted to her to drop. Sass had already hung down and dropped to the ground.
