of representatives. Then lie went io

ITo was always addicted to tlio liquor

nletolv debauched with whisky and
his mind was wenkoncd by his ex
c'ohsoh and his crimiinll tendencies

Tn a Inst conversation with John 11.
Cradlclmurii, telegraph editor of tho
Papitul Journal, ho mado this dying
stalomont:
"Say, John, you know that at

Itnlph Fisher's room I had nothing
against him." Hero ho sat down and
drow a map of the room whero Fisher
had his offices.
No Idea of Hurting Him.
"I had no moro idoa of hurling him
than I had of flying. I don't know
jiiHt what I said, but tho first thing
I know, Fishor was approaching mo
with a notarial soul in his hand and
apparently nhout to strike mo. II
may liavo boon mistakon as to ids
intentions, but thinking he was at
tacking me, I pulled my gun and
shot. Aftor that ovorythiug is hazy.
Vniay have shot u dozon times for all
I know. I only know thnt tho in
stinct of Helf-dofonso was aroused
and I used prohably abused it. I
do not know, Fishor was dead and

moment I shot linn. t can easily
iniairino that I do not want to have
Ids wifo i widow or mino. There
is the whole Ktory."
Hoart-limiKiiiK acene.
The last meeting of Finch with his
wifo and raothoi-was heartrending
in the extreme, At 10 o'clock the
woman spent some time with him in
his cell, and it was only by using
forco that tho grim prison officials
woro finally obliged to tear tho two
faithful and loving women away from
tho barred grating that closQd for
ovor on tho living form of the son
and husband.
"Oil, my God, Jim, how can I bear
itt" sobbed tho wifo of less than a
yoar.
"Oh, my God I My God! By son,
my boh, my soul" Bhrieked tho
mother ns thoy boro her away, agony
showing a love thnt wns doartr to

As tho women were led - away,

Finch had been disbarred from prao
tioing law in Oregon.
Fishor wns. prosecutor for tho Or

thought that Finch was laboring un
der the hallucination thnt ho had
been "persecuted instead of prose

two had boon warm personal friends.
Both woro prominent boforo tho bar,
Finch, however, boctimo addicted to

was brought boforo the state bar for

Whon, contrary to his expectations,
Finch was suspended from practic

his friendship toward Fishor ehanged
to hatred und tho testimony showed
that ho hnd sworn to "got square."
