Fitzsimmons, the young Brock- Villian who escaped from Pittsburgh jail while awairing trail, for the murder of Detective Gilkinson. The fact that the murderer was a well-known Brockville boy, and member of one of our best known and most respected families, nzt- turally Served to excite more interest here than perhaps at any other point- in the country. The news of the arrest was seen made by large crowds. Of course it is impossible to say Just at present what disposition will be made of the body.

F itzsimmons did not. attempt suicide in any sudden frenzy, but went about it as systematically as be robbed John Schmidt of his jewellry, and as boldly as he broke ‘ jail at Pittsburg. With him the ruling passion was strong to the end, or to what he expected with cool confidence would be the end. It was characteristic of him. Like all his previous literary productions that have found their way into print, it is part true, part false, part grandiloquent, and the rest school boy. It was just 10.10 o’clock Thursday morning that the discovery of Fitzsim- “mun. “Yuri! was made. Detective Murphy It was just 10.10 o'clocx illULaunJ morning that the discovery of Fitzsim- mon’s work was made. Detective Murphy had called at the prison to see the fugitive at his im'itations of the evening, previous. He had been placed in the hospital de- partment by the jail officials because they considered that there of all places he could be more closely watched.

A scream of anguish from the younger lad, who was sitting on the floor. told that he had received the charge, which struck him on the lower part of the jaw and neck, making a shocking wound.

Princess Mary surprised him the other day by giving: him a pillow of ‘ hemlock, which she had thoughtfully obtained from America. The cover Was embroidered by her own hands.
