¥ 'CODDLING CRIMINALS. Sympathetic Ministration for Murderers. A Disgusted Jailer's Observations. 8an Franciseo Chronicle “Before ! became a jailer,"” said a retired official to a Chronicle reporter yosterday, “I often read with some doubt the stateinent that seemingly re- spoctable women were accustomed to coddle condemned murderers and cover them with caresses and bou- quets “You became convinced shameful truth, T suppose,” reporter, “Ishould say so—more than con vinced. T was disgusted, sir. Why, if any man had sworn to me ona stack of Bibles as high as Telegraph hill that decent-looking married women were accustomed to fawn on convicted cutthroats as I've secen them, [ wouldn’t have believed it. “When I went into the jail,” said the cx official, as soon as he had suffi ciently mustered his disgust to speak without endangering his soul, “there were twenty-two red-handed mur- derers in the institution, and there was hardly a man of them that ought not to have been danghng from a gal- lows. That was more than a year ago, and not one of the ygang has yet stretched hemp. THE CONVICT'S COURTSHIP, of the said the “I saw this woman, Mary Willis, the first time that she came to the jail, and I noticed her particularly, use I new her parents. She came round wit the praying band, and after service, used sometimes to talk to the prisoners in inurderers’ row through the wickets. She appeared to me to be a girl that was very anx- ious to get a beau, and this fellow Gottung and she got acquainted very soon. Through her influence Got- tung was allowed the liberty of the yard two hours a day, and was told Jjust how far he should walk. He was fnr!icu]arly instructed not to visit the itchen, but, being one of those fel- lows that take ten yards if you give them an dnch, he hadn't been very long in the yard when he got into the kitchen, and got carrying on there with the Chinaman and rais- ing a disturbance. The fellow wasre- garded in the jail as a coldblooded cutthroat, and wasn’t the kind of man to be given any extraordinary privi- leges and the minute he was.caught in the kitchen talking ovt of his turn, he was Yut back in his cell by Kavanagh, and I think hes never been out of it since. One day Gottung asked a jailer to have the Willis girl sent to is cell if she came, and when she ar- rived with & couple of other girls she went to the wicket and they had some talk about her taking charge of his little girl. I didn’t pay much atten- cion to that, as it seemed natural that a girl should take an intercst in a lit- the child, and I supposed he had made some terms with her for the support of the young one. THE FACINATED VICTIM. “‘After that she began to come «oftener, and got passes to come on week days. I bezan to suspect that sshe was taking a lively interest in 4im, One day when they took Got- tang down to be tried, I mg thegirl on the street and stopped to talk with iher, and she said: ‘George is being tried to.day,’ and with that she turned away and cried. I felt sorry for her folks as well,.on general principles, for I'm a family man .myself, and it wasn't a pleasant sight, I assure you, for any father to see a girl liko that weeping over & red-handed assassin, who had decoyed his miserable wife into & beer saloor to butcher her. 1 never4hought that the girl's infatua- tion would carry her to the extent of marrying Gottung; but he is one of those presumptuous, forward fellows, and she—well, we all kuow what he ia. p “It geems to be a failing of the Gottung family to contract unusual marriagee,” said the ex-jailer; “Got tung’s brother, who resembles him so much, ran away with a girl on Bryant street, near Sixth I'm not sure that both brothers were painting the house where the girl lived, but the mur- derer’s brother at least was, and he finished up the job by eloping with the girl. r parents are very quiet, respectable people, and had brawght up the girl very strictly, and when the went off iv that fashion it nearly killed themn. ADORATION OF A STRANGLER, “@Vhat other zaurderer was in the habt of receiving the attentions of wonen!" asked the reporter. “‘Gh, several of them. It seemed to meto be only necessary for a man to haw committed & particularly hein- ous crine to become the hero and idol of a lotof addle-pated or thoroughly oorrupt and vicious females. T used to watch them closely, and I came to the opinion that it was not piety that attracted some of those women, One woman, whose name 1 could not give you, for she has had four husbands inside of ten years, wasa constant 7isitor, and tock a great fancy to Yheeler, the strangler, She was sgeedily cut our, however by a good- lodking married woman, whose hus- il lives on Powell street. A big g)hmmn, who is not unknown to earaey street, brought this married womat up one day to see the jail, and after tlat she spent the most of her time onthe outside of the strangler’s wicket. She brought him bouquets and books, and, between her and the other woman that wanted to wina amiln from him, the villain's cell be- « le a couservatory, WHEUBER'S VLORAL OFFERINGS, **You may think I'm exaggerating, but, sir, it's a faot that this cold- bloeded, unnatural vuffian, who had outraged every principle of decency, has recaived 80 many bouquets in a day that he could makea present of one to every cell in murderers’ row. The more the newspapers described the revolting details of his horrible crime, the greater interest these morbid-minded women took in him. The other ruffians, who had died their hands only in a drunken wife’s blood or killed some person in a brawl, were entirely overlooked in the anxiety to minister to the comfort of the strangler, The charm of illicit love seemed to have imbued his brutal crime with a romantic interest that none of there prudent-minded women THr GmauA DAILY BEE: THURSDAY Flu!}_RUx}R'Y 16, 1882. \ at least they said they were sistors— who did everything in their power to make things pleasant for Wheeler. One of them used to keep a lodging- house near Portsmouth square, and the other two live in Oakland and are married. T have been told, on good authority,, that these three women subscribed; §1,000 to help Wheeler make his defense, and you can say with truth that but for them he would be to-day— well I would not like to eay where he would be. The Serip turos sny, you kuow, ‘Judge not’, ete. The gallows, however, would have found one of the finest subjects that was ever offered to it. Now none of these women who visit Wheeler are actuated by the feclings of kin. Wheeler's wifo and the murderer him- self told me that he had not a rela tive in California, MORBID INTEREST IN MUK “What are you to infer, then, when youseo a lot “of well dressed women fawning on such a scoundrel aud cov- ering him with bouquets and subscrib- ing a large sum to suve him from the gallows, though he has been convicted of & most hideous orime? One would think that the brutality which he showed to their sex would have made all womankind his enemies. 1 have como to the conclusiou, though, from my observations in the city jail, that thero is a class of females who are fascinated by any fiendish cruelty to their sex. They think that the man who could perpetrate the crime de- serves sympathy and encouragement, and they go to the jail and give 1t boldly—so boldly thag it is as much as the prison autWoiftles can do to keep them within the boundi of decency. The Gottung case shows that “There are more people who havea sneaking admiration for notorious criminals than the world at large imagines, and I tkink it sould be a good plan to make it more difticult for people to gev into the jail and gratify their prurient tastes. As it is now, the jailers have no choice but to let visitors in on certain days, and aslong as they violate none of the municipal ordinances they can disgrace them- selves and the community by treating condemned murderers as if they were the unfortunate and innocent victims of some tyranical law.” RERS.

The plan has proved a success. It has given universal eatistaction to the patrons of the paper, and has in- creased the subscription list to a de- gree far above the expectations of its publishers. Many patrons of Tk Darmy Bee have asked why we do not offer them the same inducements held out to sub- scribers of Tue WEEkLY Bee. In re- sponse to the inquiry we make the following offer: Esch subscriber to Tue DaiLy BEe who pays his arresrs of subscription and remits pre-pay- ment for six months and every new subscriber who remits pre-payment for six months will be entitled to one (of the premiums mentioned in our list. These premiums will be dis- tributed in the sumne impartial manner which marked @ur first and second dis- tributions. This scheme was first devised to collect subscriptions in arrears from patrons of the Weekly Bre. Ite suc- cese exceeded our expectations. We have now no back collections on our weekly edition, have established the prepsyment system, quadrupled our circulation and correspondingly em- hanced the value of our advertising space. A number of subscribers to the Daily BEE are now in arrears, and if by an extension of the same plan we can induce them to pay the amount due us, we can well afferd to make this liberal offer. By this means we hope to still further incraase the large list of the Daily Beg, and having es- tablished the prepayment eystem we propose to maintain it,as we are doing with our Weekly edition, To those who are not familiar with our plan of distribution or the manuer in which the premiums are secured by us we append, the explanation made nish a metropolitan weekly for two doilars & year and give our subscaibers premiums that aggregated in value 820,000. And yet it was a paying in- vestment for us, and gave general satisfaction to our patrons. What grew out of a desire to collect back pay has developed into & new and practical idea. We have discoy ered that we can afford to make our | subseribers sharers in the income of the paper from advertising. In other words we can afford to divide the ad- vertising patronage of the paper with its subscribers, inasmuch as the income from advertising grows with the in- croased circulation, Adveriising space in Tue Bee that was worth one hun- dred dollars five years ago will com madd one thousand dollars to-day This fall more goods and machinery have boen offered us in exchango for advertising than we could accept in view of the limited space we devote | for that purpose. What we have con- | tracted for makes the grandest aud | most varied list that has ever been offered for distribution by any news- paper and that too without paying a dollar in money. The only outlay in cash we expect to mcur in conneetion with these premiums will be for post- age and expressage. This explains exactly how we procure our premiums and why we can give away property of 80 much value. All the premiums in our list are worth at rotail just what we represent them. In contracting with manufac- turers and wholesale dealers we ac- cept them only at wholesale rates, but that does not lessen their value to those who receive them, Tue Bek has for years stood in the front rank of newspapers west of the Mississippi, and to-day circulates more extensively than any paper west of Chicago and north of St. Louis, A large number of eastern people who desire to procure a far western paper, with a_view of acquiring reliable in- formation about the resources and de- velopment of the country west of the Missouri will doubtless avail them- selves of the opportunity now offered them. Having for more than ten years been under one man- agement pursuing a course that has established for it public con- fidence at home and a wide reputation abroad, Tae BEE could not afford to engage in any underiaking that was not conducted fairly and hon- estly, The distribution in 1880 and 1881 gave general satisfaction to our subscribers. The coming distribution will be made in the same impartial manner, by a committee whom the subscribers present may selecv from their own number, and in such man- ner as they think fair and equitable. Liast year all the premiums gave good satisfaction, excepting some engrayv- ings which were notappreciated. This year no engravings, maps or pictures have been placed among the premi- ums. Our old patrons need no assurance from us of the reliability and stability of Tue BEE, nordo we need to inform them that the principles it adyocates, and the fearless defense it makes in behalf of the producers, makes it al- most indispensible to the industrial classes of the great west. No intelligent person would expect that every subscriber will receive a $650 threshing machine, a §600 piano, a $300 harvester, or a $1560 organ, but all have an equal chance in the distribution. Each subscriber that pays up his ar- rears and prepays another year, and every new subscriber that remits pre payment for one year, will receive a premium worth at least One Dollar at retail. As a matter of fact, THE Omana WeekLy Bee is worth the subscription price, Two Dollars a year, to every farmer, mechanic or merchant. Without boasting, we as- sert that no weekly paper, east or west, can compare with it in variety and choice selections, general news, interesting correspondence, and ne other paper in America contains as much far western news, ranging from "OUR BRST PREMIUNS, The following isa deseription of the most valuable premiums that are to be alloted to the patrons of Tuk B on March 4: THE CHASE PIANO, which is the most valuble among our premiums, 18 from the CHAsE Praxo Comrany, of Richmond, Indiana, This company has the reputation of makmg the most durable instruments made 1 Ameriea, and for tone and | tuno their Pianos are second to none, Posscasing fine water power and a fac built with special reforenco to tho | manufacture of the best instrument at the least possiblo cost, this company have advantages enjoyed by no cs ern factory. They have near at hund in large quantities tho finest timber in the world, und have an opportunity to make the first seloction, and save | the Ingh freights which must be $aid Ly castorn manufacturers, and conse- quently can furnish a better piano for theo money than any other makers, | The College of Music at Cincinnati, | one of the largest institutions of the kind in this country, after trying the pinnos of all the best makes discarded all others and are using only the Cuase, and decided that it possossed all the qualities necessary to with stand the hardships of a genuine mu ical warfuro. This speaks volumes in favor of those excollent instruments, the product of western enterprisc and skill. All disinterested experts ad- it that these pianos are made hottor than those from any other factory wid tlat they are the most servieahlo. The piano we offer is thow tyle seven and for elegance of appearance, beauty of tone and solidity of structure cannot be ex- celled.” Parties who are not familiar with this make of pianes would do well to write to the factory for an il- lustrated catalogue. The other piano on our list is the same style and quality as the one we gave last year, and will be abpreciated by the party fortunate enough to re- ceive it THE THRESHING MACHINES. The first one on the list is from Pitts & Son's celebrated factory, of Chicago, I11., and has a reputation for good work over the whole country The Gold Medal Thresher is from the weill known firm of Robinson & Co, Richwond Ind. The Robinson machine works were established in 1842, and arc one o! the oldest thresh- ing machine builders in _the country. The machines of this firm are in use in every state from Maine to Oregon. Every farmer and dealer admits their superiority. Our contract with the Robinson machine works is for a com- plete thresher ready to attach either horse or steam power, both of which they manufacture, and under our con- tract they will furnish the party who receives this machine, either power at $50.00 less than their regular price, This discount to be given in addition to any cash or other discounts offered by the firm. THE SELF-BINDING HARVESTER. The reputation of the Marsh har- veaters is so well established that no spocial description of them is deemed necossary, Wo will only state that this is their latestimprovement. This machine was on exhibition at the Ne- braska state fair last September, and was admired by every one, and the workings of it declared superior to that of any other harvester made. THE LEWIS HEADER. This machine atands at the head of the header family and has met with most surprising success. The factory at Hastings, Nebraska is kept busy the year round, and the past year has not been able to make enuugi to fill all orders. These headers do more work with less power than any other style of reaper, and with less loss of grain than by any other mode of har- vesting. THE AMERICAN GRINDING MILLS which we offer as premiums are guar- the Pacific coast to the Mississippi river. With the proof of good faith and honest dealing before them in the numerous acknowledgments we pub- lish, we can safely enter upon our en- larged undertaking ot this year, con- fidently believing that its success will be mutually satisfactory and advan- tageous, E. ROSEWATER, Managing }ditor. ‘The Masher and the Terrier. New York Star. A woman and a terrier dog reached the Union depot yesterday half an hour before the time of the Grand Trunk train for Buffalo, and while the woman sat down in the waiting- room as the best thing she could do, the dog made the tour of the room several times and then curled up on a seat not far away to get a wink of sleep before being turned over to the tender care of the bag- gage man. All things were so-so, when a young man with a good deal of cane and watch chain and necktio sauntered in and took a cool survey of the various females. The one near- est the dog not only had a young and pleasant face, but she was all alone. After satisfying himself of this the young wan advanced, made & grace- tul bow aad inquired: to our Waekly subscribers, which ap- plies equally to the subscribers of the Daily Bee. Two years ago the publishers of Tue Bee devised a scheme for collacting back pay from delinquent subscribers, securing renewals and extending the circulation of this paper by a distri- bution of valuable premiums, The success of that experiment, both in the collection of back pay and increase of prepaid subscribers was 80 encour- aging that the publishera ventured upon the same system of premium dis- tributions on a more extensive scale last your, It was demons‘rated that we could better atford to distribute the money usually paid to sgents, local collectors and attorneys, directly to our patrons by offering them extra- ordinary inducements to square ac- counts and prepay for another year. By this method we have succeeded in two years in t‘uldrupliug the circula- tion of Tur WeekLy Bek and extend- ing its iofluence far beyond the boundaries of this state, During the first year only a portion of the arcicles distributed ‘were pro- cured in exchange for advertising. When the marked increase in circula- tion became known to merchants and manufacturers last year they willingly placed their machinery and” merchau- dise at aur disposal in paging for ad- vertising, That enabled us to do could resist. There were three sisters— what seemed incredible—namely, fur- ‘‘Beg pardon, but do you go east?”’ She nodded. “Ah! Ithought so. If you have ano baggage L shall be most happy— ahr -shall be most happy—" He had all the time been preparing to sitt down beside her on the dog,anc the sen'tence was not yet finished when he sunk gracefully back. Some dogs have beeat sat down: on so often that they don’ fmind it,but this terrier had always been' a pampered pet, and had been given proper time to shake off sleep and got his legs under him, When suddenly buried under 140 r.)y:n'lu of masher his ideas must have jsen teribly condun d, butnot forlong. A clock couldn’t have ticked over six times when the ysurg man began to rise up and whoop, and he was scarcely up when he made a course for the door which upset every band- box and satchel for a width of ten feet. As he went out of the door a black object lot go of him and trotted back, and it was only when the dog began rubbing against the base board to restore himself to his former round shape that any one was able to dis- cover why the frenzied young man had left in such a hurry.
