He is now 37 yests of age, having been imprisoned at (he age of 21, when a student at Warsaw oniversity. His appoaranco, however, is that of a man of 60."

This is his stoiy: "A !Ule over 10 years go I was Ulought from Warsaw to the Schlus sellburg, after a Polish patriotic agi tation. My cell Was an underground room of about eight feet by twelve. For the first six months I was "kept chained to an iron bar passing through the wall and out into the -corrider Whenever the bar was turned by the guard I was jetked around in my bed.

Whiskey is at the bottom-and also at the top of the whole affair. Gibson was recently discharged from his posi tion as switch tender on the Southern, because of his drinking habits. One of the Eanoses is permanently employed at the Tolcr distillery near here. The other Eanea was engaged temporarily by the distillery late .that evening, and well filled with distillers whiskey and ripe for mischief. That night thy came to the home of a Mrs. Fox, whiire a young man, Walter Dalton, waa vis iting. They were noisy, hilarious, as sertive. They left the Fox homo when Dalton did, all coming toward Elba to gether. One of them picked up an axe, and said to Dalton: "Let's wreck 38 and get the boodle." Dalton replied, "No you shall do no such thing." They proposed to pile wood on tha track, but came on with the axe in hand. Reach ing the switch, Dalton heard them give two blows on the switch lock, as he hastened across the trestle and contin ued his way to his employer's Mr Thom as Talbot, The wreckers followed him with the axe still in hand, until they saw him t ,rn into the path at -Mr. Tal bot's houae.
