Cable Special to THE BKB. ] Baroness Von
Roquo is a.well preserved woman and looks
to bo about forty-five , but must bo consider
able older , as she is the mother of Mrs.
Maybrick. Her hair Is gray , riho was
drertscd In block nnd were Jewelry when she
received the Herald correspondent to-day.
She had nt last decided to talk about the
case of which all England is talking. The
baroness claims that her daughter Is being
lone to death by women , ono of whom , she
* ays , wns in love with Brlorly. She said :
"I am a woman , and perhaps 1 take a
woman's view of this matter , but I do not
kaow that a woman's view of this matter la
necessarily a wrong view. I am going to
speak only of B woman , and I am going to
speak of th motive. There has been a great
deal of talk about the motive in this caso. I
would line to respectfully ask what motive
my daughter had for poisoning her husband
when she had plenty of evidence upon which
she could hava obtained separation from him
had she desired , I would like to ask If there
are not in the treachery and brutality with
which my daughter was treated at the outset
by other women and In the very start und
beginning of the hue and cry against her an
evidence of motives far stronger , far more
active and far moro Important for
consideration when my daughter's life
la at stako. It Is of this , of tbo very begin-
ping of the matter , thut I wish to speak. Mr.
Jvlaybrltk dlod on Saturday. Up to the fol-
loylng Friday afternoon my daughter lay ill
prostrated und helpless without a friend ,
She was surrounded by enemies to whose
bitterness I need not call your attention , fet
it is In tbo evidence , who had con
demned her in their oxvn minds
as a > murderess without even telling
her their conclusion und who worn hotly ran >
sacking her house , m which they had no
legal or other right to obtalu evidence Ir
support of the conviction they bad chosen to
entertain. These conclusions started with n
nurse , the woman Yapp , whom my daughter
had some months before reprimanded ,
and she wrote thut she felt thai
she would be compelled to discharge Mis :
Yapp. She communicated her suspicion tc
Mrs. Briggs. Mra. Brlggs telegraphed
Michael Maybrick. Mrs. Briggs was the
moving agent in all that ensued. My daughter
tor was satisfactorily convicted of murder
before Maybrick died by Miss Yapp , Mrs.
Briggs and Michael Maybrick , who was
acting only upon the information , sus
picion and conclusions of thcsi
two women. Now , I respectfully
suggest that Mrs. Briggs' actions , Mrs.
Brlgas' motive and Mrs. Briggs' character
are things that should bo considered and
have not been considered In this case. Up
to Wednesday night , or Thursday morning ,
in fact , for I was at a dinner part y.
I know nothing of my daugbtcr'i
trouble. I , her mother , the sole
friend stio had on earth , was
kept in ignorance. She was too 111 to notify
me and nobody else was kind enough.
Finally , however , there came a telegram
from her , saying : 'Jim passed away or
Saturday.1 Half an hour after the rccoip
of uiy daughter's first telegram a secom
came , which said : 'Como at once
Sorlous charges against mo. DU
not know when I telegraphed before , I let
Paris on Thursday by the first train and ar
rived in Liverpool at the Lima street station
on Friday uftornoon at 1 o'clock. As I was
going out of the station I met Michael May
brick unexpectedly. Ho said abruptly am
gruffly : . 'This Is a nlco state of affairs. ' .
asked him what ho meant. M mean a question
tion of murder,1 was his reply , 'am
there's a man in it. ' I tried to qucs
tion hl.n , but ho said : 'You hat
bettor go up to the house and sec her. She'
Inn dying condition. Edwin will toll yoi
everything , I went straight to Battle Crcso
I met Edwin Maybrick in thovostlbuloof thi
house. I asked him at once why I had no
been allowed to como before. Ho said tbo ;
had all lost their heads , thut Florrlo was to <
ill to know anything , and tha
Mrs , Briggs did not know , or hai
forgotten my address. Ho said : 'I wouh
cover have believed ono word against Flor
.rio If it had not boon for that letter ti
Brlorly. ' Now , permit mo to say that then
was a great deal of surroptitiousuoss nbou
that letter to Brlorly. It was wrltton witl
the knowledge of a woman , win
had already como to the conclusion
Honestly or dishonestly , that m ;
daughter was n murderess at heart
It was given to that woman to post , nnd tha
woman opened It. I may bo Mrs. Maybrick'
mother , but it looks to mo as if that ver
straugo and unnecessary letter , a letter s <
queerly and ingeniously compromising the
no other possible combination of word
could have boon equally harmful , wa
simply a trap successfully laid tun
triumphantly executed. My daughter i
not u woman of very much penetration , I
you could see her you would not wonder c
the ease with which she has been docelvcc
Kindly remember that Mrs , Briggs tcstlfio
In court that she advised m
daughter to wrlto to Brlcrly to gc
money euough to send some telegrams am
then walked straight out of the prison wit
the letter and at once bunded It to a police
man. Plcusq consider that hero were tw
women , both professing a warm a
tachment to uiy dauuhtor. Sbo gav
thorn her fullest confidence at a tlu
when lior position , prostration und misfo
tuiio eliouhl have gained her vyuipatuy an
pity from a atone , and they were opposin
bur Jn every way tucy could. I do not knov
but It seems to tuo that that Umd of uion
character is scarcely tbo thing on 7'iilch I
base a sentence of death , "
'Pardon mo. but what conclusions are yo
aiming all"
"I believe I know that James Maybric
died a natural death. I bollova that thet
two women , Ignorant of all the private el
cumstancos , Ignorant of Muybrlck's oxtoi
BIVO ute of arsenic , cauio to the conciliate
that my daughter was poisonlu ? him an
did everything they could to build up the
case. I am disposed to believe that they d
not roach this conclusion honestly , but tUlii
It is proper , however , to show that nelthi
of them were friendly to he
und that they were animate
by malico. They were not withoi
ground * for those feeling * . The idea
Imply absurd to begin with that you ci
poUon B wan with arsenic who bah bc <
using nrncnic for cloven years without his
knowing or suspecting it. Moybrlck know
his own constitution perfectly well. Ho had
been experimenting on It with drugs ever
tlnco I knew him. Ho was n deep student
of medicine. From a personal standpoint , If
there wns ono man on earth who would have
scouted the idea that anybody could
poison him with arsonlo without
his knowledge , it was James Maybrick ,
nnd ho would say so if ho stood hero to-day ,
Mrs. Briags was n very intimate friend of
Ir. Maybrick. Ho bad known her long bo-
'oro ' ho mot my daughter. Ho permitted her
visit his bouse most freely. Sbo is a
woman about forty-five years old , who has
icon divorced from her husband , thougb she
ibtalncd a divorce on account of his conduct ,
nd thcro was nothing in the proceedings to
oflect on her. Mrs. Maybrick told mo this.
> Ir. Maybrick was an Intimate friend ot her
nthor , Mr. Jancon , and had been on close
erms of friendship with the Jaucon family
,11 his life. When Mr. Mnybrlck married
: ny daughter ho was a man of
orty-thrco and she was n girl of eighteen.
Irs. Brlegs , from the outset , was a potent
'actor ' in the household , She kept a general
iyo oa affairs. Mrs. Briggs had an unmar-
icd sister , and I have --no doubt that the
pinion prevailed that It Mr. Maybrlck's
aste had been all that It ought to have been
10 would have married n Jancon. Gertrude
ancon , her ulster , has been known tor a
eng tlmo In their circle to bo in
eve with Mr. Brierly. Miss Jancon ,
hrough Mr. Hughes , the husband of an
ther Bister , caused a quarrel between Mr.
.nd Mrs. Maybrick at the r.nco ground. Ho
, vas Inspired to do this by Miss Jancon , bo-
causa Mr. Briorly had taken Mrs. Maybrick
the grand stand to see the Prtnco of
Wales , nnd Miss Jaucon was loft alone. I
am not dealing In trifles in this matter. I
am showing you the state of mind
md motives which boar directly on
, his caso. When the reconciliation took
; ) lace , or before It , Mrs. Briggs told May-
brick all she knew about Mrs. Maybrick's
relations with Brlorly. I wrote my daughter
, hrco or four letters , which wore intercepted.
I have never scon them or heard from them ,
dwlu Maybrick admitted that ho wont
down Invariably to meet the postman. 1
.vould . lilio to know who they are who thus
violate the trust which people repose
n her majesty's ' mail. I would like to know
by what right or what law the furniture and
all belongings were sold before tbo will was
proved. I would Ilka to know whom the
noney is that came from the salo.
Baroness von Rogue had boeu getting
strongly excited , and she chocked herself.
"On the day following Mr. Maybrick's
death Mrs. Briggs and Mrs. Hughes ran
sacked the houso. I know what their ideas
were , but I do not know whether they know
thcro were two arsenic users in the house ,
ono for the constitution and the othei
for the complexion. They won
hunting for evidence to substantiate
the conclusion they had formed around the
dead body of Mr. Maybrick. They rausackec
drawers and boxes and everything that be
onged to Mrs. Maybrick. They oven broke
the lock of nor wardrobe. It was in this
search beloro any charges had been made
before any suspicions had been made public-
thai these two women and those two brother
violated the bedroom of Mrs , Maybrick. Thi
pill-box containing Mrs. Maybrick's privaU
store of arsenic only turned up at the trial
It Had been kept back. Who knows wha
else has been kept back ] Does the judgi
Icnowl Do tlio Jury know ! Where are Mr
May brick's clothes ! Have they been ex
auiinod for arsenic ! Huvo the pockets beei
examined ] Of all that belonged to m :
daughter , of all the presents that had beet
given her , of all that she needed to save he
life , all that she got back was i
dressing wrapper , which was valuable be
cause it wus stained with arsenic. Michao
Mcrbrick told me ho would never havi
thought of poison but for Mrs. Briggs
Michael Maybrick at first said no wouh
bo responsible for the costs of the caso. Al
torwards ho repudiated this statement en
tirely. Nobody has paid ono cent of tlio cost ;
in this case except my daughter
Everything she possesses is pledged to pa ;
ttiorn , Including the life insurance policies o
Mr. Maybrick , which , I believe , amount ti
about 3,000 , and also the property she pos
scsses in Now York. If she should bo se
free she would bo penniless. The proport ;
of Maybrick goes to the children
The guardianship of the children doe
not rest with the trustees ot the estate
Maybrick's brothers , but with mo. I thinl
that if I am wrong they are going to have i
clianco to prove it. When Mr. Cleaver , win
bad been sent for by my daughter , arrive !
at the house , the first people ho mot wen
Mrs. Briggs and Mrs. Hughes in thi
drawing room. Ho said : 'This is a very sai
affair. ' Mrs. Hughes said : 'Sad indeed
It is a sad affair for poor Jim Maybrlck
She's up stairs , but she's tbo greates
liar on earth , ' and Mrs. Brlgg
added that Mrs. Muybrlck's motho
herself had poisoned two husbands , Sucl
was the reception accorded Mr. Cleaver li
the house of the wife of James Maybrick. "
The baroness paused to say that the state
ment of Mrs. Brlggs touching herself was
of course , Informed. Though the story wa
first printed on the other , side , she thinks i
came from this side of the Atlantic. She talkei
qucorly of Maybrlck's treatment , but sali
that and Maybrick's character were matter
to bo investigated by the homo secretary
Sbo finished tbo interview by tolling ho ;

LINCOLN , Nob. , August 13. [ Special Tclo-
gram to TUB BKE. | The rainfall of yester
day was the lioavtest known In this portion
f the state for years. It raised Salt crook
out of Us bunks , and at noon to-day the bottoms
toms were a solid shoot of water. Seine of
ho old settlers of Lincoln say that the water
was the highest over known. As yet , however -
over , the damage clone can not ho estimated.
Families that lived on the bottoms , in many
places , were forced to remove to places of
safety at an early hour this morning. In
some localities south of the city the rushlug
waters marked residences and barns eight
foot above their foundations. A largo num
ber of houses on the bottom suburbs of the
city were partly submerged m water. The
oss of property has boon groat. The water
looilod the Atchlson & Nebraska railroad
track below the penitentiary to a depth of
nearly or quite two feet. The noon passenger -
songer wns swamped for over two hours. It
scorned ( or a time that the ponderous online
would ho unable to move the coaches , and a
wreck hung In the balance. Warden
Hopkins and one of the attaches
of the pen undertook to reach
the place where the engine scorned to bo
floundering , and In attempting to turn his
lorso and .buggy In water that floated the
box , tipped ever , broke the shaft and en
joyed a good ducking. It is learned t'.iat
some of the bottom farmers lost a good
many hogs and some other stock. In at
tempting to swim to dry ground , they were
carried into the channel of the crook and
drowned.
Slnco 2 o'clock the crook has risen rapidly.
It Is said that thcro are 2,000 houses in the
flooded district immediately contiguous to
the city , and their occupants were compelled
to flco for their lives. But few reached dry
land with anything moro than the clothes
they woro. All trafllo has boon stopped on
the railroads that cross the bottoms at any
point. Buckstaff's ' Vitrified Uriel ? works
are under four foot of water. At
the Wisconsin furnlturo house , about
five blocks south of the depot , the
water is over the flat cars and
entering the box cars. It is stated that thcro
are 1,000 cars in the yards , many of which
are loaded with goods that can not bo
reached. Merchants and wholesalers who
have consignments at hand are doing every
thing possible to got them removed. At S
o'clock this afternoon the rumor was general
that thrco men had boon drowned a mile or
BO south of the city in attempting to save
their stock , but it could not bo verlQod. A
Bohemian family by the name of Johnson ,
however , lost their Infant baby. Its mother
loft it sitting in a high chair and started for
dry land with two otner children. In some
way the chair tipped over and before she got
bncit the baby had drowned. Many families
have lost all they possessed. Hofugces
have fled the bottoms by scores. A number
of them are quartered at the Park school
building ; others have been cared for by the
city. Some are destitute , with no place to
lay their heads to-night. Charity , however ,
is being extended with open hands. If pos
sible the homeless will bo amply provided
for.
for.At 0 o'clock tnls evening the water
was still rising. It is said that
If it rises another foot it will
submerge the entire Union Paclflc
system of tracks in the city. The incoming
train from Crcto barely escaped Doing
wrecked. The track had become so badly
washed that the tlos had been lifted from
their beds , and the train was compelled to
como to a dead stop two or three times before
the trip was safely made. It took almost
superhuman work to save it. The conductor
has been severely criticised for attempting
to make the trip. Some portions of the
track were under a foot of water.
Two teams of horses were drowned this
afternoon , ono near the city and the other
two miles below. Tlioir drivers barely
escaped with their lives.
Generally the families who have been
routed from their homos by the flood can ill
afford their loss. Their household f urnituro
was their all
At 8 o'clock the water : was rising at the
rate of three inches per hour. A number ol
the homeless are nick and in need of medical
attendance. It is said that thcro are a few
instances where ttio water reached the beds
upon which the sick lay before they could be
rescued. The opinion Is qulto general that
the receding tide will show sadder results
than the vast loss of property. It is hardly
possible for such a Hood to pass away without
a terrible fatality , Where the water come
from is a wonder.
A. Bad Flood at ileatrloc.
BEATHICI : , Nob. , August 18.--Special | Telo-
ogram to THIS BEK. ] The most disastrous
flood that ever occurred in this vicinity took
place to-day in a low-lying portion of the
city along Indian creek , a small stream that
Is ordinarily very placid and that flows
through the northwest part of town. The
first Intimation of the torrent was about 8
o'clock this morning , after most of the men
in that neighborhood had gone to work , thus
leaving the women and children in compara
tive security In their homes. Some work
men on the tower of the now Episcopal
church saw the flood slowly approaching
down the valley and gave the alarm , and
none too soon cither , Assistance had
scarcely arrived on the ground when the
swelling tldu began pouring down on the
fated inhabitants , giving thorn barely time
to pet on to the roofs of their houses. Cows ,
pigs , poultry and outhouses were soon en
gulfed in the flood and were whirled with
umaziug rapidity down toward the Blue , a
mile below. Boats were speedily procured
and the unfortunate people In the flooded
district were soon safely landed on dry
ground , Everything porlsbaolo In their
houses was ruined , and the aggregate lose
will bo very largo. There was no loss of
life , thougif there were many narrow es
capes. Boar creek , a stream two miles uortli
of the city , was also out of its banks , and
thousands of acres of growing corn
were destroyed. Considerable live stock
also perished in that locality. Vast
quantities of hay were swept away , and the
aggregate loss will closely approach the
hundreds of thousands , A number of small
farm houses were swept away , but no live :
were lost. The now paper mill dam , twc
miles below town on the Blue , was washed
out and much damage done in tbatvlcinlty it
consequence. Tao bridges along Indian and
Bear creeks are washed away , and , as tut
streams are still very bleb , but little information

CniOAao , Augu&t 10. [ Special Telegram
to Tin : Bnn. ] The state's attorney and
those who tire assisting him in the prosecu
tion ot the Crontn ease are hard at worlc
getting ready for the trial sot for the SOth.
Attorney Longoncckor said to-day that the
state would bo ready Tor trial on that day ,
and if thcro was nny delay It would bo be
cause the defense demands moro tlmo. Even
then the delay would not bo great , as the
case would simply go ever to the September
calendar.
When Iho trial begins several weeks will
bo consumed , it is thought , In getting a jury.
It is believed by the people about the
stnto attorney's ofllco that this work -\vill \
bo as tedious and difficult as It was
In the anarchists' caso. The murder created
so much excite men t and such Intense inter
est that It is thought that it will not bo easy
to find twclvo good man who have not framed
and expressed decided opinions. The care
that will have to bo taken also in summon
ing talesmen to avoid men who are secretly
in sympathy with the assassins , will make
the work still more ditllcult , It is anticipated.
The trial Itself will not consume as much
tlmo as the prolonged investigation of the
coroner's jury and the grand Jury. It will
take but a few days to present
the evidence for the prosecution , which
will bo purely circumstantial , unless
ono of the defendants weakens and turns
states evidence. Such a thing us that , how
ever , Is regarded by the prosecution ns
but remotely possible. An outline ot the
case against Burke , who will really bo the
central figure among the group of defend
ants , will show that the state's case is sim
ple and will not require much tlmo in its
presentation. It will bo shown , first , that
Burke rented the cottage. The testimony of
the Carlsons Avill bo relied upon to settle
that beyond a doubt. Yet It Is believed that
ho can bo connected with the rooms at 117
Clark street by Martinson's testimony ,
which will show that ho hud tbo furnlturo
hauled from that number to the cottage.
That is the whole case against Burke
except the circumstances of his flight and his
connection with Cougrhlln nud Bcggs In camp
20. The most vital point in the case Is that
of connecting the doctor's murder with the
blood-atalncd cottage. Nobody saw Dr. Cro-
nln enter there , and nil the ovidcnco which
really connects his dead body with the cot
tage is the piece of blood-stained cotton
batting found in the basement and corresponding
spending with the cotton found in the trunk ,
and also that found In the catch basin. It Is
regarded by the state as a strong circum
stance , and it is the only thing that really
connects the body with tbo trunk , and there
fore witn the cottage.

Over the Pearl Find ,
ALBANY , Wls , , August 13. [ Special Tele
gram to THE BEE. ] The discovery of a pearl
imbedded in a hard shell clam iicro two
months ago by two strangers has trans
formed this erstwhile quiet llttlo village of
800 inhabitants into a seeming habitation of
maniacs , all intent upon attaining fabulous
wealth merely by picking it up from the
ground. For the last week all business has
been practically suspended to treasure seek
ing , und tbo excitement In the surrounding
country continues unabated. Pearl fishing
is the ono subject hoard on every hand among
both ladies and gentlemen on the street and
in the village hotel. The latter is the ren
dezvous of the most ardent pearl enthusiasts ,
where the fishers and others gather to dis
cuss the latest find and the value of the
pearls. As fast as the Hat-bottomed boats
that tne fishers for wealth push before -
fore them are filled with clams , they
are floated to shore , and the tasl ; of splitting
the shells to discover the valuable jewels
within Is begun. Again and again Is this
process repeated , and the fact that in most
cases It is without reward does not dampen
the hopes of the excited crowd. Failure
after failure is endured with hardihood In the
hope that eventually a lucky strike will bo
mado. The craze Una assumed such a form
that it has been almost impossible during the
last week to secure men to perform common
labor on the streets. The villagers have
worked themselves up to such a pitch of ex
citement that they bcllovo what would be
considered the most absurd conceptions. In
fact , most of the stories of the finds that
have boon telegraphed abroad so fur are
fabrications of enthusiastic minds. It is u
fact there have been some high-priced pearls
found here , out nothing of the kind spread
broadcast Is true. A widow in meager cir
cumstunces named Mrs. Schuofor , received
(50 for n pearl she picked out of a shell , and
invested tbo proceeds In cows. Anothci
woman in poor circumstances got $55 for r
pearl and bought a gold watch ,

Academy of Muslo nt Newark , N. J. , Sunday
night. The participants In this drama were
Lena Klocmnullcr and Albert Morris. Al
bert was deeply In love with lovely Lena ,
but Lena's father and mother opposed tlio
match. The Klcontnullors are very wealthy.
Morris is a bartender. The young folks be
came engaged sect-oily some time ngo , and
when the old man learned of it ho tried to
buy Morris off , but the young man would
not sell. Then the old man threatened
blood , but Albert smiled. The dcnoumcnt
took place on Sunday evening. Albert Mor
ris was a member of the Schiller litorur.v
society , an organization composed mainly of
German-Americans. A performance was
given in the Academy ot Muslo for
the benefit of tbo kindergarten. In
one part ot the play there is
a marriage ceremony in which the bride is
heavily veiled and in black. All she has to
do In that sccno is to bo led on the stage , go

Albert Morris took into his confidence Wal
ter A. Mitchell , n justice of the peace. The
latter consented to take the part of a clergy
man In the play nnd go through a bonafido
marriaga ceremony. At the proper moment
Lena was led on the stage , covered with u
heavy black crcpo veil. She went through
the performance la the presence of a thou
sand people without fiinuhiug. Nobody , on
the stage suspected the true condition of
affairs until after the ceremony , when the
justice who performed the ceremony told of
it as a peed Joke. The couple disappeared
leaving u letter behind saving they intended
to keep the matter a secret for u year , but
were determined to bravo the matter und
would return in a few weoits' time , when'
they hoped to bo forgiven.

ST. PAUL , August 13. As a pousiblo solu
tion of the problem ot utilizing convict labor
to the best advantage , the lust legislature
appointed a committee to Investigate as to
the practicability of introducing the manu
facture of binding twine into the Stlllwator
prison. If this could bo successfully accom
plished all the twin i ) required by the agri
cultural interests in the state could bo sup
plied al moderate cost , and thus emancipate
the farmers from the clutches of twine com
binations and trusts. The committee lias re
ported adversely to the proposal. The rea
sons on which the report Is founded nro that
the cost of the plants and material for ono
year sufficient to keep seventy-five men em
ployed would amount to § 1,245,000. It is
pointed out that the cost of binding twine to
the manufacturers is 11 to 15 cents per pound ,
of which not more than S to 3 cents Is for
labor and power , the balance being consumed
by the cost of material.

A DEMocuvria NimmiviiK ,
The uamo of Mahono Is a nightmare to thd
democrats who to-morrow meet in conven

Governor Fitzhugh Leo. Their crv is "any
thing to beat the llttlo wizard. " But they
are having heaps of trouble to choose n can *
didato wno will undertake the job. To-night
there are no loss than six candidates in tha
field , with Captain P.V. . McKlnnoy and
Colonel Richard T , Beircno running n nip-
anil-tuck race for first place. The other can
didates are Colonel C. F. O'Farrell , John.
Harris , S.V. . Vonablo and J. Page Tyler
who is the choice of the Farmers' alliance.
McKitmey's friends figui-o out 000 votes for
him on the first ballot. Helrcno's supporters
claim 400 , whllo O'Fan-ell says ho Is sure of
478. This leaves ut JiU to bo divided among
the thrco other aspirants.
The adherents of Cnptiun Vetmblo. who
has the cordial support of Senator Harbour ,
insist that thcro will bo a tiemcmlous light
between McKiuncy , Uiereno and O'Furioll ,
and that u compromise will bo made on Boss
Barbour's favorite.
That there will bo n red hot battle ever the
adoption of any provision indorsing the free

seems surely imminent. The delegates who
loft hero for the seat of war this afternoon
declared that the protection sentiment was
so strong In the Old Dominion that it would
prove fatal to bourbon success should the
principles laid down at St. Louis in 1834 bo
rcatUrmcd. A straddle which the bourbons
hope will bo acceptable to protectionists and
free traders alike is anticipated.

JOHN 1I110\YN'8 SOAPl'OLD.
General James B. Colt , of this city , who-
reccntly purchased tbo timber which formed
the scaffolding upon which John Brown was
hanged , says thjit ho Intends to hava tho. .
structure restored and to exhibit It through
the country. Tbo scaffold was erected In.
1839 by David H. Cockoreil. Brown was
hanged upon it on December- of that year ,
and on the Kith of the same month , Coppae ,
Gvcen , Copeland and another followed. It.
w.is then taken down and again erected Ih
March of the year following , when Haz
letto und Stevens wore hanged upon the gib
bet. It was subsequently presented to-
Cockerel ! by Judge B. B. Davenport , of the
Jefferson county , court. Subsequently It
was made into the porch of a house
and remained tncro until 1883 , when the
owner thought it might have a value as & .
relic , and it was tnlicn down and stored In
the second story of the juil. General Colt
happened to bo in Charleston and learned of
the existence of the timber. Ho owns Boli
var heights , which overlook the sccno of
Brown's exploits , und ho conceived tha idea
of erecting n monument to Brown on the
summit of those heights. Ho decided there
fore to get possession of the scaffold und put
it in the bauds of some ono who would prop
erly exhibit. It through the country. His
idea Is to use all the funds obtained from the
exhibition , after paying the expenses , for
th o purpose of ercotlni. the proposed statue ,
and as Harper's ' Ferry bus already become a
place Of popular resort , it is probable that
the enterprise will meet with very general
approval. The scaffold was shipped on Sat

hero to-morrow. '
