Chandler, Alabama St. 1S44 GreatTrials History TRIAL OF CAPTAIN KID The name of Captain Kidd is the most familiar of all the pirates who sailed the Atlantic in search of ad-' venture, and more especially of plun der. Although it is considerable more than two centuries ago that Kidd was convicted and hanged and, while other pirates have been forgotten, he is still recalled through an effort that is started every now and then to discover the burial place of his ill-gotten treas ures. Prom Nova Scotia all along the Atlantic coast of the United States searching panics have been organized upon the obtaining of a new clew as to the hidden loot. Captain Kidd was a Scotch navigator during the latter part f the seven teenth century. Piracy was very prev alent on the high seas and a syndicate was formed for the purpose of destroy ing the practice. Robert Livingston, a rich New York merchant and landown er, and Lord Bellomont, the Knglish governor, were at the head of the syn dicate, and in looking ahout fur a cap tain for their pirate-destroying vessel, their choice fell upon Kidd. So King William sent a commission empower ing "the well-beloved and trusty Cap tain Kidd" to seize French and pirate ships at will. Kidd started off on the Adventurer, but the adage "set a rogue to catch a rogue" did not work in his case, for he turned pirate himself and looted and sunk .ill the legitimate merchant ships he met. How many vessels Captain Kidd and his crew plundered, is hard to tell. Finally it was necessary to send out a squadron to capture him. He had been operating with excellent suc cess in the- Indian Ocean, but he was given warning of the coming of his captors and he eluded them and sailed for the American coast. Fearing to enter New York harbor. Kidd touched at Oyster Bay, L. I., and sent for a New York lawyer and re quested hint to sec Lord Bellomont with a view of opening negotiations. Bellomont sent word that the captain had nothing to fear, consequently he went on to Boston, arriving on July 1, 1699. It began to be rumored that Living ston, Bellomont and the company they represented, were themselves' Impli cated in the gathering of the spoils, rind they became thoroughly frightened. Bellomont reported to the Knglish the whereabouts of Kidd and he was or dered to arrest him and send him back to England. When captain Kidd reached Kngland he was thrown into jail. There had been a great excitement over the af fair, and even it was insinuated that the king profited by Kidd's nefarious business. For a year the pirate was kept in prison before he was placed on trial. At the trial Kidd denied that he had ever consented to be a pirate, but claimed that his crew had bullied him Ide Silver .

In all there were some lour hundred or more who sent in answers to the puzzle, which in itself was all right. ; But there were over ISO of the ans wers correct, which meant the "pony- I ins" up of just that many bones. That wasn't the worst. From the St. Luke Home, east of the city, there came to the Redewill office just forty correct answers with a demand for $40. Redewill had to pay, cause he had not provided that one solving correctly the answer could not divulge the great secret to another. And ho did pay. Yesterday the St. Luke Home took from the Redewill music house J40 worth of the best Victrola records in stock, their choice over the actual cash. into it. He could not be convicted of piracy , even by a court which for some mysterious reason rushed his trial through with suspicious haste and lack of justice. But he was found guilty of having killed a mutinous sailor named William Moon by hitting him over the head with a bucket. At the trial it is Raid that Kidd bore himself with dignity, making no com plaint of I'ellomont's treachery. He told the story' of his expedition with some show of frankness, but everything was against him. He was not allowed to present whatever evidence be had in his behalf. The jewels and gold dust which he had sent to the Countess of Bellomont were considered a bribe, and Bellomont, Buffering from gout, wreaked his vengence to the utmost on the man who had failed to bring him the plunder expec ted. To the last, Captain Kidd protested his innocense of piratical intent when he undertook the mission, and to the judge who condemned him, he said: "My lord, it is a very hard sentence. For my part 1 am the most innocent person of them all." Captain Kidd was hanged at Execu tion Dock. London, with nine of his crew, on May :'4, 1701. There were present the marshal of the admlraHty, the deputy marshal, two city marshals, officers and some who had helped to condemn him. They stood silently awaiting the approach of the prisoner, and at the sound of footsteps they turned to catch a last glimpse of the bold, dashing pirate. Their scorn was turned to pity, for down the gray stone steps came an old sea captain, tired and worn, to meet his doom. Tomorrow Tritl of Benjamin Di&- raeli.

Have you no ticed that wherever a few travelers gather together, one or other is sun to say : 'Do you r member the smell at such and such a place?' Then he may go on to speak of camel pure camel one whiff of which is all Arabia, or of the smell of rotten eggs at Htton on the Euphrates, or of the odor of drying fish in Burma. 1 sdg gest, subject to correction, that there are only two elementary smells of universal appeal the smell of burn ing fuel, and the- smell of melting grease; the smell, that is. of what man cooks his food oyer and what he cooks his food in."
