John Esterbee, Life Prisoner, Still Religious Fanatio--Has Served Twenty-six years For Murder of His Brother. ; It was thought that when the Do- minion government was granting par- dons to a number of life prisoners in various Canadian penitentiaries, it would have released a man named John Esterbee, who has served twoen- ty-six years in penitentiary here for the wurder of his brother. Estorbee was convicted at St. Catharines in 1878 upon circumstantial evidence, Lut there seems to be no doubt that he committed the crime, He was then only twenty years of age, and was so ¢ at he became a fanatic. While in a religious frenzy it was concluded that he committed the awiul deed, which, for more than a quarter of a century, has kept him within prison walls. Ta few would the memory of crime now be retained, However, some friends have not. for gotten him, and several times 'have petitioned the minister of justice for is release. His case was promised full consideration, and Esterbee thought his release would come a vear ago. Having served so long in prison, one would think that a freer ife would scarcely be desired by such a prisoner. ih is said, however, that Esterbee will 'spend the remainder of his days in prison; as it would not be safe to allow him his liberty. His mind is still unbalanced in conncetion with religious matters, and he would be quite likely, did the chance oecur, to become stirred up and in an irrespon- sible condition commit erime again. Hence, he is safer where he has existed so long. Esterbee is the man who, over a year ago, while working in the penitentiafy laundry was struck in the face by a piece of machinery and had his jaw broken, disfiguripg him. Those at the penitentiary who were intimately associated with Matthew Jones, the life prisoner released a week ago after serving eighteen years for arson, 'believe' that the man was really innocent, and that he was punished for something he did not do. At the trial, two things went against him, viz., the fact that he had com: mitted, arson before and a confession wring from higy after farmers © had hung him to a tree and the blood began to ooze from his ears. In' agony, he told them he was guilty in order to save his life. They then re- leased bim and he went home. The next morning, as he wis about to enter a charge against several of tho farmers for attempting to take his life," he was arrested. And for cigh- teen years he languished in prison. Red Hot Pincers. People who gin from Sinica, neu- ralgia, and all ailments of a x euma- tic nature, say that if their muscles were being pulled t6 'pieces, with red- hot pincers, the suffering could be no greater. The nerves affected ate in a state of acute inflammation, due to the presence of irritant poisons in the blood. Dr. Hall's Rheumatic Cure re- lieves these afiections promptly and cures them permanently because it neutralizes and expels the poison from the system. It is a certain cure and relief is usually given by 'the first few doses. This is the preparation that cured William Tait, Brock street. and hundreds of others.
