Groat Interest attaches to the trial
ut Steubenville, Ohio, of Qulncy Crnm
blott, n young man charged with the
. assassination of his sweetheart's
father. Tho crime was ono of the moat
cold-blooded on record, there- bolng
no known motlvo or grudgo against
tho man who was assassinated James
H. Qosnell. Gosncll was a farmer liv
ing on Pcrrln's run, a rough, wooded
portion of Smlthfleld township, where
tho land ownors lndulgo In tlw pastime
of 'coon hunting. On tho nigh at Nov.

kitchen reading, somo on, fired
through tho window at his back. It
was a heavy charge of slugs that cut
through tho chair back, passed
through his body and lodged in the op
posite wall. Gosnoll died instantly.
Tho murder cauBCd much feeling, bo-
cause of Gosnell's high stand In.v l.i
the community, hut It was somo. Umo
before an arrest was made, and not
until after tho county commlislonors
offered a reward. Suspicion full on
two men in that section, but only cne

fence somo distance away, whore a
horse had been hitched. Thoao who
followed tho horso tracks, and they
were sharp-eyed 'coon hunters, found
that Cramblett's horse, hitched In the
stable at his father's barn, ma-lo tracks
similar to those found at the fence
and along the road. Ono shoe was
missing, and tho hair and mano rubbed
on tho fence wero tho color of Cram'
blett's horse. Bloodhounds wero
brought to the scene, but they could
not run tho trail. Several times Cram-
blett was taken Into custody and prl
vately examined, but so good was his
standing as a quiet, unobtruslvo cltl
zen that he was released. After tho
offering of tho reward ho was arrested
again, but only kept under surveil
lance at the conrtablo's homo, so euro
was he that Cramblett would not try
to escape. Then came the trial beforo
'Snuiro Humphreys of Mount Pleasant.
It was a burlesque. Tho citizens took
up a collection and hired tho town hall
to hear tho trial, and so strong was tho
ieellng In Cramblett's innocence that
tho crowd applauded and cheered tho
cood nolnts scored by Cramblett's
Jawyer.
Cramblett was hold, however, but so
strong was tho feeling of his not hn
inir uullty. and bo meager tho ovldenco,
It being purely circumstantial, thaflt
is doubtful If ho would have been in
dieted had It not been for tin indis
cretion of his relatives, two of whom
admitted beforo tho grand Jury to do
stroylng and throwing In a deop well
n sun the state's officer had been look
Ing for after the murder. It had stood
In a corner at the Cramblett homo, but
after tho murder was not to bo seen.
The gun was rccovorcd through the
testimony of William Miller and Mil
ton Hall, relatives of Cramblett. Other
damaging testimony came up beforo
tho grand Jury.
Cramblett was Indicted and tho trial
set, but was continued because of the
affidavit of a physician that Cram
blett's mother, who Is temporarily In
sane, will recover In a few weeks and,
It is said, will testify to. an alibi for
her son.
The state contends that Cramblett
was desperately in lovo with Cora Gos
nell; that when Bhe would not marry
him becauso of her father's opposition
Crumblett concluded to remove him;
that he had made threats against Gos
nell; that Cramblett had proposed to
Cora that, as they could not marry,
they could dlo together. Cramblett at
torneys contend that Cramblett was a
welcome visitor to tho Gosnoll homo;
that ho wns always Invited back by the
father; that tho first person arriving
at tho Gosnoll homo tho night of the
murder wns asked to go for Cramblett,
who came and stayed nbout until after
funeral, assisting tho family, that ho
sat up at night with tho dead man
without a tremor, and that ho did not
show any fright at the appearance of
tho bloodhounds; that they can provo
an alibi for Cramblett, and that bus
plclon points strongly to another as

lletult of Starvation A Vnln Kffort
for Fame.
After a vain effort to gain famo and
tortuno on tho stage, Blanche Burney,
& beautiful American girl, starved to
death in Paris recently. She was a
New York girl, and went to Paris for
tho purpose of studying acting, for
which thero aro so many good oppor
tunities In tho French metropolis. Sho
learned French very well, and cher
ished somo hopes of obtaining an en
gagement on tho Parisian stage, but
failed after many heart-breaking at
tempts.
Finally tho tlmo camo when tho
money which sho originally had for
tuition was all spent and sho found
herself penniless. Too proud to np
peal for aid to her American frlonds,
Miss Burney eked out a scanty exis
tence by copying manuscript for tho
theatrical people. Sho lived for a long
time with another American girl, an
art student, who was as poor bb her
self. They resided on jtho top floor of
an old house In tho Latin quarter, and
tho food upon which tho two girls
lived would hardly havo sufficed for n
child. At last tho American, friends
of tho nrtUt girl took her away, and
Miss Durney was left alono to starve
and plno away hor young life. At tho
end of two years her sufferings unbal-
anced her mind, and somo charitable
Americans, hearing of hor sad plight,
had her'removed to a private hospltul,
where death camo as a welcome relief
from a life of misery and shattered
hopes.

Developments havo Just como to
light which explain how two of the
boldest and coolest criminals that ever
escaped from Sing Sing prison met
their death in a novel and unforeseen
inannor Just as they had accomplished
the most difficult part of their task.
It will be remembered by many that
about tho mlddlo of May, 1893, fisher
men found in the Hudson oft Croton
Point tho bodies of two convicts,
Frank W. Roohl and Thomas Palllstcr,
who had escaped from Sing Sing about
a month previous. Each man had a
bullet holo In his head, and this Is
tho point which lent to tho rnso un
air of profound mystery. Many thr
orlcs were advanced at tho tlmo roU
llvo to how tho men might havo como
to their death, but no ono over stop
ped forward to dlscolso any posltlvo
knowlcdgo of tho nffalr until Capt
Michael Kolloy of a brick schooner
vhlch plied tho Hudson at tho tlmo
of tho tragedy now volunteers a posi
tive solution of the mystery. Tho facte
of tho escape, flight and subsequent
death of Roehl and Palllster, as
gleaned from Captain Kcllcy, Mato
Jimoa 8. Kearn8, and Keeper John
O'Kcofo of Sing Slug prison, consti
tute a talo of thrilling and extraordi
nary Interest, lloth of tho criminals

hnd been found guilty of murder nnd
wero nwaltlng execution In tho clcc
trie chair. Palll3tcr was not only a
very powerful nnd nthlctlc thug, but
n mnn of somo Intelligence, possessed
of ninny friends nnd considerable
polltlcnl Influence. Ho wns the brains
of tho subsequent plot to escape.
Tho night of April 20, 1893, was
chosen by tho murderors to mnko their
dosperato attempt. During tho day
Rophl pretended to bo sick, and at
night he asked Keeper James W. Hulse
to warm somo milk for him. Ibis
tlio keener did In a shallow pan. It
was too big to go through tho slldo In
tho cage, bo ho unlocked tho door of
Roehl's cell to hand It to him. As he
did so, tho prisoner dashed a handful
of pepper and limo into his eyos nnd
grappled with him. Roehl had
scratched tho mortar from botween
tho bricks of tho wall, and tho pepper
he had saved from hla food. Hulso
struggled fiercely, but Roehl backed
him up against the bars of Palllstcr a
cell, tho latter grabbing him nnd hold
Ing him until Roehl secured his keys
tnd revolver. Then ho freed Pnllls
tor, and together they locked the keep
er In Pnlllstor's cell. Keeper Murphy
was their duo, nnd they lay in wait
for him. Tho moment ho passed tho
door they overpowered him, took his
keys nnd rovolver, and locked him In
Roehl's cell. Tho pair climbed to tho
roof and tried to break tholr way
through ono corner. Aftor wasting
halt nn hour on this, they thought of
tho skylight. This they broke with
caso, climbed out on tho roof and
dropped to tho ground.
Plans for their actions after leaving
tho prison had all been completed by
friends outside. Across tho river from
Sing Sing, some 15 miles back from
the Hhoro, nro tho Ramapo mountains,
somo parts of which uro an unlnhab
Itcd, hnrdlyxcxplorod wilderness. In
ono of tho loneliest regions of these
mountains the friends of Palllster had
fitted up a cave with nil tho necea
sltles and many of tho luxuries of life.
Thero wero comfortable beds, a small
cook stovo, all the necessary cooking
Utensils and hundreds of dollars worth
of food supplies. Complete arrange
ments hnd been mado for conveying
tho prisoners to this retreat, and nt
tho same tlmo for setting tho author
ities on the wrong track. Now, It so
happened that an tho night which
they had chosen for tholr escnpo tho
worst storm of many years occurred.
No small craft would live on tho Hud
son that night. To somo extent, tho
storm favored the criminals' plans, but
In tho end, as will be seen, proved dis
astrous to them, At Inst Palllstcr nnd
Roehl stood on tho Sing Sing shore
of tho Hudson. They found tho boat
that was waiting for thorn. They be
gun their voyage. Palllster, who was
n skilled oarsman, rowed tho boat. A
terrific southeast gale lashod the wa
tor Into foaming waves and tho rain
fell In sheots, Tho waves rose threo
feet high. The men had not gono a
hundred yards beforo thoy realized
that they could never cross tho river
in that Htorni. Their little shell of
n boat was filling with water and they
had not oven yet felt tho full forco of
tho storm. Now, Just ahead of them,
lay a two-maBted achoonor. Thero
wore threo men aboard Capt. Michael
Kelloy, Mato James S. Kearnes and
"Lum" Osborne, Tho two escaping
murderers decided In un instant that
O" ly chanco of life and safety was
to board the schooner and nelze Iter.
They climbed aboard by the anchor
chain. To Osborne, who was on watch,
they said thoy were friends Of the cap
tain and he, not noticing their attlro
In th darkness, let them pass. While
Kcllcy and Kearncs wero quietly talk
ing a strango man suddenly Jumped
down tho compantonway, closely fol
lowed by another. The foremost In
truder ovldontly did not sco Kearnes
sitting In tho shadowy background.
Suddenly, entering tho lighted cabin
from tho inky darkness, ho leveled his
revolver a Sing Sing keeper's revol
ver at Captain Kolloy'a heart and
cooly said: "Throw up your hands!
Wo'ro from tho prison and aro going
to take command of tho ship!" Thoao
were his last words. While ho was
speaking Kearnes, unseen, drew n pis
tol and shot at the speaker's head. The
aim was true, for tho convict dropped
to the floor, dead.. This occupied throo
or four seconds, but tho tlmo was suf
ficient to allow Captain Kelloy to draw
his pistol. Tho second murderer
plrato boundod Into tho cabin au soon
as his leader dropped. Ho too, had n
rovolver, but ho had no chanco to uso
It. Captain Kolloy put a bullet in him
as soon as ho showed himself at tho
foot of tho stairs. Tho captain and
mato throw both tho bodies ovorboard
and tho angry waters of tho Hudson
completed tho work. Although tho
two men had done nothing but dofend
tholr lives and their .property, they
felt moro or less guilty, and thoy had
no dcslro to havo tho matter publicly
ventilated.
