Law yers and social students who have considered tho personalties of the ton men awaiting execution Dec- 19 in tho Arizona S)le Prison say that questions of grave serological import are suggested. Five of the convicts are Mexicans, lacking in eduaction, without money or influential friends, and reared in an atmosphere of questionable mo rality. In several instances their victims were of liko kind and their crimes were tho culmination of trou bles in which women were concerned. In every instanco tho penalty of death was stipulated by the jury, ex cept in the case of one Mexican who pleaded guilty before trial. The cases of two men not included in the ten are before the Supremo Court on appeal. These two men are Americans, Robert D. Talley. and Louis Nelson. Tho former killed Jesse Q. Dannnr, stepfather of his prospective bride, at tho end of a fight caused by Dannef's anger at Talloy's offorts to correct the alleged waywardness of two sisters of his prospective wife.

OF THE REAPER Death Removes One Of The Cwa ty'e Moat Widely Known And Universally Liked Citizens. HAS BEEN DANGEROUSLY ILL FOR SEVERAL WEEKS. Funeral From The First BaptUt Church on Monday After noon At 4 O'clock. The Interment Here. After suffering for several weeks with a complication of diseases ag gravated by an affection of ie heart, Ex-Sheriff J. W. Biddle died at his home, No. 4 New street a few min utes after 10 o'clock last night. The passing of Ex-Sheriff J. W. Bid- die removes from the life of New Bern a man who was truly great, not great in the worldly sense of the word in so far as the possession of great stores of worldly goods, but a man of whom no one can say the least word of evil but instead hold him up as an example of truth and hon esty a man who stood by his oonvio- tions and did what was right regard less of the consequences. A review of the life of Mr. Biddle, who was seventy four years of age yesterday, brings out thexfaot that not another man in the county has surpassed him in achievements of helpful assistance to the city, county and State. Born near Fort Barnwell, he grew to young manhood there ' and at the outbreak of that great conflict between the States, took up arms in defense of his beloved south land. He became a member of the' famous cavalry troop of Col. Ruffia and was with him in many engage ments always distinguishing himself and bringing credit to his associates. Comes To New Bern. At the close of the war Mr. Bid dle came to New Bern to make -his home. Those were the "dark days" of Eastern North Carolina and will . forever live in history as th most perilous period . of the section. ' Mr Biddle at once Went into' public life kA thtt airport Of.jtfrtffft.g"''. who had no fear in their hearts ; ex cept the fear of God, and his record during that period was one of whioh any might justly feel proud. He held many publie.offices among whioh was that of county commissioner, register of deeds and sheriff, this latter office he having hehLfor many years up until the advengof the pre sent incumbent. In his public life, a uthia home life, he was fair and honest always) doing; what he thought was beat and alwayf 1 ready and anxious to lend a helping; & hand to a friend in need and it has . truly been said that he often Oaused ;f himself privation by helping others when he should have helped' himself, . i After having concluded serving the v county as sheriff a few years ago;'"'. Mr. Biddle was appointed a magis- h trate and had his office on Broad street near the corner of ' Middle. H At the last election he was chosen as one of the members of the Craven ' county Board of Commissioners and was to have entered upon his duties at the conclusion of the term of office of the present board. Death has removed him to a better land but the name ' and the mem- . ory of James W. Biddle will live on . through this generation and will be handed down by them to the next, and in years to come it will be Spoken of with pride and will be linked with . those of North Carolina's immortal sons. . Mr. Biddle is survived by his wife, formerly Miss Alice Brown of this oounty and to whom he was. wedded,' many years ago. There are no ohild- ' ren but y large number of near rela- uvea among whom are two Sisters, i Mrs. B. A.
