JESSE SCOTT ESCAPES
FROM SHERIFF'S DEPUTY
Believing that youth was no bar to
doing as the others did Jesse Scott,
aged 13, sentenced from Latah county
to the state reformatory escaped fj'om
the custody of Special Deputy Sheriff
Frank Brown at Spokane yesterday.
According to a message received this
morning the boy was captured after
an all night search.
Sheriff Brown had made up his mind
that this prisoner should not get away.
To make sure he deputized his son
to convey the boy to the reformatory.
Until they reached Spokane the
youthful sheriff kept his eye closely
upon the boy; but in the city the task
was not so easy. There were too
many distractions.
The escape occurred at the N. P.
depot, while Brown was arranging
Pullman transportation for himself
and his prisoner. Scott stood at the
deputy's elbow as the other was pur
JUSTICE HARLAND DEAD
OF ACUTE BRONCHITIS
WASHINGTON, D. C., Oce. 14.—As
sociate Justice John M. Harlan of the
United States Supreme court died at
his home here at 8:15 o'clock this
morning. Death was caused by acute
bronchitis which began with a cold
Monday. Owing to his extreme age,
which was 87 years, the death was ex
pected and his entire family was at
his bedside.
Justice Harlan was dean of the jus
tices of the supreme court, his term
being the longest in the history of
that tribunal, excepting that of John
Marshal.
Justice Harlan recently came into
great prominence because of his dis
senting opinion in the Standard Oil
and Tobacco trust cases, in which he

Negroes Honor Taft.
LOS ANGELES, Oct. 14.—In remem
berance of his recognition of the negro
race, President Taft next Monday
afternoon will be recipient of
creek banks by the chief. Gilly claims
that he got the whiskey for his own
use. Gilly was up before the probate
officer two years ago on a charge of
delinquency, and was put out on pro
bate.
The only witnesses called at the trial
this morning were Mrs. Gilley, the
boy's mother and Ralph Zumhof. Mrs.
Gilly testified that the boy is obedient
in every respect and is supporting
the family. Gilly testified that this is
his first time he has ordered whiskey.
He said the four quart bottles cost
him $2.50, express prepaid. He claim
ed that no one else had any interest
in the shipment whatever.
Gilly was found guilty this morning,
but sentence has not been passed.
chasing the tickets. A moment later
he was gone.
Upon learning of the escape Sheriff
Brown started at once for Spokane,
but was headed off by a telegram this
morning.
Jesse Scott had long planned to
piake his escape while on his road to
St. Anthony. He had determined to
fnake a get-away, and become a bandit
among the hills of the north.
"How far will your gun shoot?" he
asked one of the deputies, the day be
fore he left.
"About a mile" was the reply.
"Gee!" said the boy. "Would you
shoot a fellow if he was running?"
"Sure, I couldn't pay $25 for a gun
and then not shoot whenever there
was a chance to."
Jesse dropped the idea of a get-away
during office hours then, and content
ed himself with attempting to pick the
lock of his room during the night. In
this he was unsuccessful.
objected strenuously to "the rule of
reason" being used in the interpreta
tion of the anti-trust laws.
His death makes it necessary for
President Taft to make a fifth selec
tion for the supreme bench, which will
make his appointees a majority in that
tribunal.
Dlssapointment Hurt.
Only Justice John Marshall exceed
ed the term of Harlan's service and
Justice Harlan would have only had
to live until next spring to break all
records. His ambition was the chief
justiceship, and when Taft appointed
Justice White to that office Harlan
showed no disapointment, but his
health failed rapidly afterward.
