NOT THE LEAST SIGN of emotion was seen upon his face when the death-sentence was pro- nounced, and this same stolid indiff- erence to his fate he preserved dur ing the time of his confinement. By the prayers of his aged and re spected parents he was as unmoved as by the entreaties for repentance from the religious people who visit- ed him in his cell. Saturday before his execution his mother and the girl whom he had ruined, carrying in her arms a 4-month-old babe, the fruits of their illicit relations, called at the jail but he refused to see them. The story of the crime as gather- ed from the trial is as follows: He employed Lawler, who lived near his home at Anthony, to go into the territory to bring back a load of furniture. Lawler being unfamiliar with the country prevailed upon a b y named Bob Arner to accompany him and Mosier. On the way the latter borrowed a gun under the pretext of killing birds. They had traveled all of Thursday and at last when twenty seven miles south of Anthony and in sight of the house of Thomas Storey, Lawler wanted to stop, but Mosier objected. He had scarcely turned around in his seat to proceed on his journey when Mosier, who was in the back part of the wag- on placed HANGED, — Le Mosier P: ys the at Wichita. uprene Penalty gressmen adopted.

The president had met Mr. Dickinson at Albany shortly at- ter the presidential election, and having taken a strong liking to him appealed to him for council and as- sistance in acting upon the slate pre- pared by the Michigan congressmen. Mr. Dickinson’s friends insist this does not make him a “boss” by any means. Mr. Dickinson is said to have an unusally profitable business as al .wyer, his income being placed from $40,000 to $50,000 a year, and the uncertainty of his taking a cabi- net place is thought to have been due to his reluctance to sacrifice so fine a business. Wichita, Kas., Nov. 15.—In the execution of Lee Mosier by the United States authorities, Kansas witnessed her first judicial hanging siice 1881, when Moses Bates at Barlingame paid the penalty of d ath for killing his old guard.

As Soon as the latter suw it, he turned deathly pale, but, opening the envel Ope and reading it, he was relieved _ of the thought of having been too hasty in the execution by seeing ‘ ident Cleveland’s reply to the last appeal of Mosier’s father for clemency. It was: «.«, “Tam very sorry that my co . tion of publi —_ will hd ms. me to interfere in your son's case, » but am much moved by sympathy for his suffe paren’ aan CiEvELanp.” The secret of the true motive of his terrible crime he carried to his Stave, ashe made no further con. feasion than to again exonerate Mrs. | Lawler from any complicity in the hired to commit it by Mrs. Lawler, who was to meet him at the Fort Scott depot in this city and upon de- livering to her the dead man’s watch she would pay him $700. Mrs. Law ler was afterwards arrested in Iowa and brought back to Anthony for trial; but Mosier falling to recog- nize in her the woman who had made him the offer, she was acquit- ted. Sennen The Coming Postmaster General. The bright young Michigan dem- ocrat, who is expected to go into the cabinet on the retirement of secreta- ry Lamar, has been quite a familiar figure in Washington since the be- ginning of the democratic regime. Mr. Dickinson isa man of marked Personal appearance, resembling very much the late Wm. K. Patrick of St. Louis. He has the same keen visage with hair of similar hue and a small tuft of auburn side whiskers run- ning down an inch or two below the line of his ears, the rest of his face being clean shaven. At first sight he might easily be taken for an Epis- copal rector, although a second glance will quickly disclose evident signs of sharper contact with the world. His eyes are bright and keen in expression, giving him an Sppearance of being always on* the alert. His friends say that his ap. Pearance does not belie the facts in his case. When he smiles his lips uncover a remarkably fine set of teeth so that the first thing noticed about his smile is the liberal display of ivory that follows. Rather tall and conspicuously slim, scrupulously neat in his attire and quick in his movements, he is always a marked ad | ; figure. There has been some ineli- L by Cassius Foster.
