VINDICATED
JIM MALLOY HANGED LAST
FRIDAY
Went to His Death Bravely-Died
in 29 Minutes-Small
Number at Execution
Jim Malloy just at noon on Fri
day paid with his life for tho bru
tal murder of his wife over one
year ago. The trap was sprung at
11:39 and at 12:00 Hrs. Carmichael
and Kinney pronounced him dead
as a result of strangulation. His
body was cut down and taken a
way and buried in the potter's
field, his family refusing to take
charge of the remains. The execu
tion was orderly and only a fow
witnessed it.
The gallows en which Malloy
was hanged was about 12 feet high.
A trap door bad been fixed allow
ing a fall of about 7 feet. Thc
cutting of the rope allowed thc
trap door to fall and thc body j
dropped through this.
Before thc execution thc Revs.
Jno. Moultrie, K F Harrington, Fl
W Prince and B C Jackson, held
devotional exercises in tho cell of
thc doomed man. Malloy said that
bc was ready to meet bis God and
that he was going to his death
with malice towards none.
At 11:27 Sherill' J ? Green en
tered thc cell and read the death
warrant to ?lim. He then ac
companied by Deputies Hinson,
Odom and A C G reen, mai ched on
the scaffold. His hands and legs
were tied. Thc sheriff asked him
if be bad anything to say before
bc was hanged, lie said that he
had made his peace with God and
that bc was going to death without
fear. He said that he deserved lo
die and asked thc sheriff not to
mind it. Ile asked God\s blessing
on the sheriff, thc deputies and all
present. Ile asked Mr. IO \Y
Evans, on whose, place he commit
ted thc murder, to tell his mother
in-law that he bad nothing against
ber and sent his love, to them all
and asked thal they meet him in
heaven.
Thc black cap was adjusted and
at 11:39 thc trap was sprung. The
fall failed to break thc murderer's
neck and it was 12:06 when thc,
doctors announced that he was
dead as a result of strangulation.
His body was cut down and taken
away to thc potter's field and buri
ed by thc county,
Thc sheriff, in accordance with
thc law, allowed only a very lew
to see thc execution. More than
1,000 applied for admission cards.
Thc murder was committed on thc
24th of April, 1907, in the. after
noon and that night thc sherill'
had applications tor admission
cards to thc hanging.
Malloy was about 30 years old,
six feel in height, and appeared
to bc of thc average, intelligence.
Before thc execution bc had allow
ed his board lo grow out and his
face was covered by it. Ile, mot
bis death bravely avowing that lie
had boon saved.
lin: < KIMI:.
.lim Malloy, who was hanged
last Friday, moved to Mr, E VV
Evans' placo iii 1900, Ile worked
there that year and was very sat
isfactory to .Mr. Evans. In 1907
ho hired to Mr. Evans again. A
long in thal year lie married tho
girl whom he afterwards murder
ed. She hail hoon living on tho
Evans1 place tor some yon rs with
her mother ami was not more than
lo yours of ago. For about six
months after tho marriage Jim
anti his wife gol along all right
and then tho t rouble began. Jim
seemed to bo insanely jealous of
her I lo would b?at, kick, and in
short I real her w it li :ill I ho mean
noss possible. Unable lo stand Ulis
any longer she left him and wont
to live willi her mother about,
throe hundred yards distant.
A boil I ton dn,\ s after that Jim
pretended that ho was sick and laid
up ut his hoinr. Mo SOld word to
bis wife thal li" was sick and ask
cd that she cook him something to
cat. This she did and carried to
him. A short timo after she enter
ed the house a woman living near
by beard screams and running to
some bands in a nearby field, she
told them that she believed Jim
Malloy bad killed his wife.
Thc bands went to tho house
and not being p.ble to get in broke
open tho door. They found thc
body of thc woman in another
room with a sheet thrown over it
and a trail of blood all around.
Pulling back thc sheet a borriblo
sight met their eyes.
The w?man' throat bad been cut
from car to car and ber bead was
held on only by tho bono. After
killing ber Jim took ber by thc
feet and dragged her body into an
adjoining room and threw thc
sheet over it.
Jim was found in thc loft where
bc bad attempted to hide and was
taken down and tied awaiting the
arrival of thc sheriff. When that
officer came bc was turned over to
him and taken to jail.
Malloy was tried at the June
term of thc court in 1907 and sen
tenced to hang in July. Having no
lawyers the court appointed Owens
and LcGrand to defend him and
this they did to the best of their
ability.
The carrying out of thc sentence
was stayed pending an appeal tc
thc supreme court which bad boen
made by Jim's lawyers. This ap
peal was refused und at thc March
term of court this year Judge Al
drich sentenced Jim to hang on tin
22nd of May. A petition was pre
sented to the pardoning board ir
an effort to have thc sentence com
muted to life imprisonment bui
again failure resulted and the mur
derer's last hope, was gone.
The carrying out of the sen
tence of thc court last Friday end:
thc case. A dastardly murder wa:
avenged by thc legal execution o
tho murderer and it will have i
beneficial effect upon all dispose?
to disregard thc laws of thc land.

POLE WITH A HISTORY.
Itrnnir? Indian Relio WMoh BM
Stood nt Morrl*, III., for Uvor
Tvf-o Ilnndred Yearn,
At Morris, 111., on tho west eldo o|
Wnuponscc street, between Washings
ton and Canal, stamin a pole about 80
feet high, which is known as the "In
dian polo." It is protected at the base
by n close-fitting piece ot flagging,
which ia surmounted by an iron fence,
these having been placed thero years
ngo by the city. There is nothing real
ly known about the old landmark ex
cepting that it was where it now rd an dr
ANCIENT INDIAN POI.n.
(Ix>cn(cd on Wiuiponsee Street at Morrl?,
Grundy County, III.)
when the first settlers came to the
community, and, furthermore, Shah
bona, the old Indian ediief, could t?U
nothing about the pole, os lt had beec
there as long ns lie could remember.
An old Indian named Clark told thc
following Ftory concerning this monu
ment; Nnequctt, a celebrated chief,
was killed tn Ifhttle ot the spot, burieC
there ond thc cedar pole erected to hi?
memory. His squaw died later and her
body was placed beside his. Clark said
the fight bogan ot Blue Island, the
tribe retreated and met their foe ot
the site of Oakwood cemetery, doliet,
and again bad n hard-fought battle ot
Nettie crook. Morris, and the last was
ot Starved rook, where most of those
who took refuge perished. One writer
says: "Tho death of Noequott was
probably between 10S0 and 1700, and
the polo moy have been placed there nf
that time."
Tn speaking of this ?dd monument P.
A. Armstrong, historian of the Black
Hawk war, and "The Friend of Old
Shabbona," said to a Chicago Chron
icle correspondent: "There is no doubt
in my mind that tho pole Is nearly 2.'0
years old. When La Salle and Juliet
went nj) the river where Morris now
stands was an Indian village contain
ing about 2,000 inhabitants, and when
Shabbona cairn- herc, which was about
Ibo year I SOO, tho pole was thero and
none of tin? Indians know when it waa
placed there. Tho story given by Clark
i.) thc ei?eet that thc chief, Nncquett,
was.buried lhere is generally believed,
for whoa thc canal was being built
some of thc workmen made rome ex
cavations nt the base of the polo ami
unearthed the skeleton of a man and
il woman, tho things buried with Hie
man sighifytng that he had boon a great
and braw chief. For lear of an upris
ing of the Indians tho bodies were not
removed and the affair was kept from
them. When 1 hattie here there were
hieroglyphics ail over ibo pole, but they
ire not distinct now, ns r. fire which
destroyed n building standing within
a few feet of thc landmark partly
burned the pole Oil the sides."

The following formulas for prcpar-!
tog insecticides niul fungicides for tho,
Instruction of Insects, scab, etc., hove I
oren found very satisfactory und are ;
highly recommended by those who have j
riven them a trial:
For destroying thc codling moth,!
ranker worm, curcullo and leaf Insects j
>f varlouB kindB that Infest apple, j
{each, plum, etc., mix a pound of lon
on purple or paris green in a half,
pall of water, stirring until every lump ,
?nd particle of dry material ls tbor-?
?ughly Incorporated; then dilute with
WO gnllouB of water for thc first spray
lag. For thc second ?praying Increase ;
the amount of water by the addition of
10 gallons. If a third Bpraylng ls re
pdrcd add' still nnother 40 gallons of
s-ntcr. Thc foliage 1B more easily in
jured IIB the season progresses, there
fore thc necessity of diluting U\c ma
terial used at each subBcquent applica
tion. Apply after the bloom falls and
tt interval? of ten days thereafter.
For leaf scab, with which orchard
ists have had BO much trouble and
ftavo so faithfully lnl>orcd to destroy,
nnd mildew on grapevines, grape rot
and oih*r fungus disease?, thc follow
ing has proved efficient: DlsaoWe ?tx
poumls of s?lphatc of oopper Jn hot
water In a wooden vessel. Slack four
pounds of fresh lime in another res-1
Bel and strain out all thc coarBcr ma
terial. Dilute the lime with 50 to 75
gallons *>f water and then add thc sul
phate of copper. Tliia is for use on
plants In leaf. (opper sulphate solu
tion, which should be UBcd only on
plitnts In early spring before, leaves
appear, is made by dissolving one
pound of sulphate of copper in 25 gal
lons of water to be used In this form.
A combination mixture, for both in
sect? and fungi is mude by putting
london purple or paris green In a bar
rel with Dordeaux mixture. The bark
louse yields to the following: One
pound of common soap dissolved in
one gallon of hot water; add two gal
lons of kerosene and churn, with a
force pump If yon have one, or hy atti
ring until the kerosene and soapsuds
uro thoroughly mixed. If the work
ha? been done right, the emulsion will
have the appearance of very thick
cream, and the oil will remain Incor
porated with the soap and water. Di
lute with 30 to 75 gallons of water
when using. Any of the mixtures will
prove very destructive to the pests if
applied properly. They should be ap
plied with a force pump with a spray
nozzle.

throw tliim on the boat, to which a pair
of horses is hitched. When a big brush
heap is made the branches are drawn
away lo the tire a lld consumed. This
assists in ridding the orchard of In

work of collecting the primings after
an orchard has been trimmed, The boat
