f-cl't at the very opening of the aasem-
son, on Sept. 12, when he voluniariiy
surrendered himself to the authorities
at Lawrencehurg, Ind.
Ho was twice condemined to death
and tinally sentenced to life imprison
ment at the JetTcrsonville trisou from
where he was pardoned. Twice a mob
surrounded the prison where he was
confined at Law renccburg and after he
was condemmed to death a third mob
broke into the prison and tore open his
cell.
Here he did a remarkable thing. He
broke his bed and with the leg of it
felled the leader of the mob, took hi
pistol and firing into the crowd drove it
panic stricken out of the jail. He then
calmly delivered the pistol to the war
den and returned to hi cell. He has
alwav been a trusty, and never in all
hi prison life was known to break a
promise made. In a talk with a reporter
and speaking of his freedom he said the
strangest thin? about it all wa the big
nes ol everything.
"For 23 year I have seen nothing but
prison walls, where I could take in the
whole scene at a glance. Wheal got
outside and looked about, my eyes felt
as if they would fly out of my head, and
my head felt a if it was swelling and
getting bigger. For day I had a fear
ful headache over my eyes, a if they
were trving to rise in my head.
I "have all but suffered death. The
awful sensation of not being able to
make plan f jr the future. At time I
would forget and go to thinking what I
would do when I got out of jail, and
then like the deadening blow of a hot
sledgehammer on my brain would come
the awful thought that I would never
get out. I have practically been dead
and am now horn airain. I am dazed
w ith ever thing."

GHERARDI ASSIGNED SHORE DUTY
Chinese Attorneys Hope for a Stay
of Proceedings, aod Repeal of
The Law.
Washington, May 19. President
Cleveland and hi cabinet have arrived
at a definite conclusion as to the action
to betaken with reference to the Chinese
exclusion act. The president and mem
bers of his cabinet, who have charge of
this matter, have decided to put the law
into operation provided the attorneys
for the Chinese Six Companies do not
obtain a stay by bringing forward ad
ditional legal obstacles. Attorney
Riordan proposes, if possible, to carry
back from the supreme court to the cir
cuit court, from which the appeal came,
the mandate of the court to carry the
law into effect. This point may not be
successful, but is a very important one.
The attorneys assume that it will euili
ciently delay action until congress meets
again, and then it is hoped by the at
torney of the Chinese, and probably by
that government's officials, that at least
that provision of the Geary act provid
ing fcr the deportation of the Chinese
will be repealed. .In the event that no
further stay can be secured by the at
torneys of the Chinese, there is no longer
any question but what the administra
tion will attempt to carry out the pro
visions of the Geary act just as far as it
is possible for them to do with tlieuinney
on baud to pay the necessary expenses.
This action was determined upon at a
conference between President Cleveland
and Secretaries Carlisle and Gresliaru
and Attorney-General Olnev yesterdav.
