THE UST OF A BAKING TRIO OF DESPERATE MEN Fred Lee Rice (ids Ills Just Dues- -His Ctfmts WGr.o Many Aloncy of jJo'Awir ' Toronto, Out., July IB: Tho Cabinet having declined to Interfere, Fred Leo Rice, ono of tho moet desperate crimi nals with which tho ranndlnu authori ties have had to donl In many jears, paid tho penalty of his misdeeds on the gallows today. Tho condemned criminal Is an lllinoin mnu, a formor resident of Champaign nnd n student of tho University of Illinois. Tho crime for which ho wm exe cuted was the outgrowth of n loss helli ons offence, tho robtmry of n bnuk, for which Rico nnd three conloderatca had received Eoiitsncci of 'Jl years' imprison ment, Rico and his companions formed n gang of tho most notorious and daring porrh-ollmbcrs on lho continent. Tliolr fluid of operations was to uxlonslvo with tliocontinont. Whorovor there was op portunity for plunder they wont. Thoy did not confine their operations to porch-climbing. IIIgliwny robbbry, burg lary and forgery woro among their ac complishments, and for many years thoy ballled tho efforts of lho police to effect their capture. Originally tho gang was compoeed of Rice, Frnnk Rutlvdge, a Canadian, nnd Frnnk Stewart. All wero desperate .diameters, shrewd in their methods, skilled in tho nrts of tho confidence man nnd utterly without fear, riicy made tlioir headquarters In Chi eago, but conducted their operations piiucipally In other cities, returning to Chicago to dispoio of nnd divide tholr plunder nt etated intervals. Rico was reared on a farm in tho vicln Ity of Chumpaign and- when ho entered tho college of lltoraturo mid nrli of thn Unlvoreity of Illlnohi fn 1588 ho was n iilet, rollreil, country boy, whoso refined mnnnora nnd lintideomo fnco innda him popular among tho co-eds. Liko many country hoys, freedom from pnroutnl re straint, which ho enjoyed nt tho univer sity for lho first tlmo, had a serious ef fect on hii tnornla, und in his hvcoiu! yoar ho was known uu ono of tliu wildest men in tho university. Uiu evident Inrgo-henrtednoBii nnd kindly disposi tion made him friondtj ninonc both facul ty and student!) nnd ltwaonlong time boforo formal notico wna taken of JiIh uutions by tho board of administration. Finally, howovor, it wna found nccoBsnry to oxpell him, Boon after ho left tho university' 'ho bocamoneeocintod with tho gang of which ho is now tho only survivor, Ho wan tho cleverest of tho lot nnd In most cases their hmder In criminal, exploit. Ho was called tho forger,, tho scholar, tho. 'pool" of tho nofurlono nggregallou. IIu looked like n clorgymnti nnd had n gift of oloqiienco that iintonlshnd ninny u pleader. It wan clinrnctorlitio of him that ho was tho only ono of tho gang that ovur nttoniptod dlplomnry. Corner ed, ho never offered to kilt, but, prefer ring soft words, (ecu red for himself tho best of trcatmtiit in nn oxtremlty. Frnnk Bluwnrt, woll known ns n Chi- , en go thief, was tho II rut of tho gang to die. Ho was killed in ait attempt to oicapo after n Chicago hold-up. Jones was tho next to pay tho price. Rutledgo committed sulcldo by dashing hlmiolf from tho gallery of tho Toronto Jr.il to tho stone-paved court thirty foot below. Tho crime for which the gang were ar rested and convicted woo the robbery of a bank at Aurora, Out., from which they' secured about fftOOOO. On information received from tho Toronto polluo the en tiro gang wero urrested in Olilcogo. F.xlrndlUon proceedings who ntuhhorii ly fought in the courts, but tho culprits eventually woro brought to Cnundii, where, after trial, they wero Mntcnesd to 21 years' Imprisonment. After their preliminary hearing they woorommlt ted for trial. While being trd'oii back to Jill in a carriage in charge of Consta bles Htcwart and Boyd n v. all d rested man sprang from thn blde-wnll: near thn jail and r.iu ulongbldo the carriage. IIu gained the open window nnd tossed in n soft felt hot. This fell in tho lap of P.utledge. Jones grabbed' it and shook1' put threo loaded revolver;. Ho grablied one nnd Harris ami Rutledgo took tho other two. All throe wero hand enffvd togolhor, but this did not prevent quick action on their part. Jouta shot Contln hie Boyd dead. Conctnh'e IStownrt wait flre.i on n dozen times, hut not hit. Thu prisoners got out of tho carriage, (jalced thu street and Jumped aboard n piitslng trolley car, Jones thriibt his revolver at tho head of thu motorman nndorderod him to send tho car ahead fatt. Thu motermati rofuscd, shut off thoourront, detached hio controller' mid beat Jouca on tho head with it. Couetulilo .Stow art by thin timo had gaiued thu roar end of the car and ho shot Jones through tho urm, Tho threo men wero rcapturd. Joneo wnH taken to n hospital und hitt arm amputated. Ho died from tho shock. Rico nnd Rutledgo woro returned to Jull. While exorcising in tho gallery, Rutledgo took tho leap ever tho railing which' muled his life, lllco woh then trlod for bin purl in tho killing.
