A HUMAN DEVIL

Tin' entent of Randc, the Triple Murderer, to Imprisonment for Life.

Tlr Lsivt Scene of the Trial ar.d the Entrance of tho Bi ute Into the Penitentiary at Joliet.

His Horrible Ribaldry and Profanity En Route—-His Threats Against the Gfficers of

Justice if He Ever Escapes.

An Inhibition of Hopeless Depravity.

Special Telegram 10 the Chicago Inter Oct an. Gulesburg, 111 Feb. 23. At half-past 8 o'clock this morning the jury in the Rand case carnc into couit and rendered their verdict, finding the dcfcnda/it guilty of murder, and fixing the penalty of impriaonm ent for lif* in tliw state's prison.

Th :re were but'fe.v in the Opera Hons.:, owing to the early hour, and consequcnt'y t!ierwan little or no excitement. Rande was confident that he would not be hung, and came into court smiling and n.ulding to his acq uamtanccs as usual.

At the conclusion of the reading of the verdict the court nked Rande if he had anything to say before icntcncc should be pass- i', to which he said.

l,I

notkn'iw. untn 1 consult with my counsel," and af:t talking a few moment* with Mr. l'r c.', he spoke nearly as follows: "1 desire to say thjt theie were twelve of the vvitneises that peijured themselves, and hhould lie nt to he I— especially Sutton—and if the court does not have him punished, he will not do his duty."

Rande talked son little time in this manner, after which Judge Smith proceeded to i-entence him, as follows: "The sentence of the court is that you be taken from here to the county jtttl, from whence you came, 'ind from theie without delav, in' tie slier ill* of this county, to the stale's prton 'it Jnliel, there to l:e confined at. I.aid lid or during your natural life the first twenty four hours in solitary Confinement."

The handcuffs were then put upon Rande, and he was taken bft^k to jail. As he went out, he kept up a running talk, cursing almost everybody and everything but it was observed that he weakened tome as he came down stairs. Last nii-ht In wrote a letter to his two boys, in which he expretsed himself as confident that he would not be hung, and as though it mi^ht bo possible that he would be acquitted.

RandeJ was taken from the court house to the jail, and immediately from there to the earn, and kft for Joliet by the S:5j train, which, however, was a little late. He was in charge of Sheriff Herggren and Marshal F. E. Fowler. A "large number of citizens were at the depot to •ee the noted "Bandit of the Wabash" take his final leave of this city, but there was no sign.of violence toward the prisoner.

The expression wan hcird a dozen tinies to-day, and from good business men, too, that Juryman Rhodeckerouurht to be hung. he evening before they agreed the jurv stood ten for hanging and two for life imprisonment. Just before Rande It ft the dep,t he said before he died lift would eat State's Attorney Tunnicliflf. Turning to a representative of a Chicago newspaper he 6aid: "Before a great while I will put a bullet through your d—d heart." Sheriff Berggren was accompanied by Marshall Fowler and assistants.

AT TUK DKI'OT .....

were only the passengers on the train (which had just palled in), the Judge, two or three lawvt rs, ar.d a doziti or twenty baggagemen and boys. Rande looked about apprehensively at first, but, speedily perceiving that there was no harm for him in that gathering, resumed his bragging air, and grinned as he was rushed—and half lifted—into the smok-ing-car. He was taken into the forward compartment, only the sheriff, th marshal, and Deputies Blood and Hart bearing him company the police remaining outside 011 the p'.attorm. Inside the car and safi.

"You've got a good long one this time," said another. "O. I won't stay there long, he retorted. "If they don't treat me better'n they did in Michigan City. I'll break some of their necks." "Why don't they take him out and and hang him anyway," said another. "G-d—n you, you wouldn't doit. If I had a pistol here I'd clean out the whole cr »wd of you" (Laughing all the while.) "I'd break so nebody's leg, and some 8—-of a b-n would have his femoral artery cut-" 4 "Aw-haw-haw-haw!'' roared the crowd. "Hillo! hire's Jim TunniclilV," said he, as

came up to the side of the car. "Come here, Tunnicliflf, I've got something to say to you."

The 6ta:e's attorney looked up at him "I believe hy G—, he's afraid of me. I won't hurt you. Come here."

Tunnicliflf walked away, with a "goodbv," and Rande fired a volley of Ungual filth alter him, and returned to "CHAFFING TUB CROWD.

A reporter who accompanied the party thus describes the incidents of the trip: At 9:10, ju-t twenty-five minutes after court convened, and about twenty miu Ute6 after the sentence, the- train pulled out, tlie sheriff and marshal breathed re-

An innocent-lcoking old farmer took one of them and examined it. "It looks like me," he said, taking hi9 grea»»y old cap off to snow his ugly head. "Them's 50 cents the little ones is a quarter."

The old man bought one, The news had been telegraphed along, and a crowd was at the next s'ation mostly of boys and people employed about the station or in that neighborhood. They ran up and down looking for him A man cried out, "There he is!" and in a twinkle they were jamming each other against the side of the car, and tome of them came pouring in. "How do you know me?' he shouted to the man who had pointed him out. "I never taw you before." "I've seen your p'cture," rep'ied tne man. "Handjcmc, ain't I?" "No."

This prompt and veiacious answer got a laugh "Well, I'll

MKET ALL YOL FKLLERS IN HELL," said he, and then, turning his attention to the gaping gawks who had crowded in, began again to sell his [lijture.^ As the train started again he settled back and grinned hid. isly, "I'm a great man," said he. "See how t:i yg rush to sec me!'' "It's not much to bd proud of," remarked a passenger, "You lie! It's enough to make any man proud," he retorted.

Then he tried to ••aiso Mie window. "Let that window alo le," sa:d the sheriff, "I want some air." "Let it alone." "it ain't the first time I've raised a window," said he, satirically, and desisted.

The train-boy coming dong in a little while with an armful of books, he bought one, by Allen Pinkerton. ''I want to read that," said he. "and see what the son of a has got to say. I'd like to meet him once, that's all I want, him."

Then he began to TRADE HIS PICTURES and a wretchedly written "history" of his life and crimes, of which he had a few copies, for oranges and other intestine dec-trovers. 'I iicte scenes were repeated at every stopping-place along the line to Wyanet He never crjoyed himself better in all his dirtv life. At Watagahe looked long and earnestly out of the windows on either side of the country. It was to this p!awC he went after

Tit AT DREADFUL SUNDAY

at GiUon. He followed the track up and at rived there on Monday morning. Doubtless he remembered this now.

At Wyanet the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific and Chicago, Burlington and Quincy roads cross. It was designed to lake the first named road to Joliet, being the most direct, trains connecting there. The crossing is a little way out of town. A lonesome station-house is built there, and into this he was taken. Seated in he station, he reopened his valves, and vaporated about what he would do if his limb* were free Sheriff Berggren, who is a mild man, let him talk but the marshal shut him up by telling him that he could do absolutely nothing that,,

HE WAS A BRAG(i.\RT.

The teast is easily cowed. He remained silent a few moments. Then with a loud voice and plenty of oaths he reviewed the trial damning the witnesses and the prosecutors, and threatening to visit tremendous vengeance upon them "when he got out."

If he kills half the people he has prom ised to kdl, this state and Indiana, not to mer.tion St. Louis, will be depopula-. ted.

They sauntered out ot doors for a momerit once, when Rande suddenly stooped and picked up

The sheriff mildly reached for it and look it from him. "O, let me keep i'," he pleaded. "What for:" asked Bersrgren. "It'll make me a knife when I get there," said he. "So il might," replied the sheriff, as he tossed it ccross the track, regardless of Rande's entreaty, "don't do that." "Hell!" said he. "Do you suopose ain't going to have all the knives I want when I get there?" he asked, "and pistols too?"

"I guess not," said Berggren. "See if I don't," said he. When the dragging hour had gone and the train was thundering up t* the building, Rsnd« Middenly observed side door. "Ltmme go in there." said he, as he i-h l.'d toward it. He opened the door and uud inside at) elevator for baggage. $ "THAI'S A GOOD DROP," said he. "That's wnat I'd like. I've always said, if I'd got to hang, I want piece cf metal or something heavy to jerk me up quick, 60 as to break my neck and have it all over."

A lady, with a little child, whom his murderous talk had driven affrighted out of the waiting-room, started in terror at this, and made haste to get into a rear car. He was taken into the smoking car

RANDE's ARRIVAL

xcited a little ripple of interest. They all came in to have a look at him. He was made to unload his person of all the traps he had in them—a queer ro'lection, in which were a box of blacki i^ tnd a blacking-brush, two boxes of figv a endful of corn, a let of letters, a dt z^n so of photographs (one of a lady among them), two or three pamphlets, bits of lead pencils, a piece of string, and lot of other truck. "Strip," said Mr. Murrey. "Must I take off every tiling," he asked.

"Yes." .Vf Accordingly Hit STRIPPED STARK-NAKKD, and a stocky-looking animal hs Was as he stool thcre,lookirig none tov/pleasantlv at the by-standing officers and assisting conviets. The wound in his leg, received in the puwn-shop fiyht was blotchy and brown, and other marks elsewhere on hi« carcass showed where misdirected bullets had at various times entered and criminally failed to kill

The receiving ofl\c looked under 1iis armpits, between his toes, and in his mouth: utid then motioned him toward a bath-tub that hid bee" filled with tepid water, toward which he ran with a sprightly step, and plunged in. A con vict supplied him with soap, and, when he had bathed, took him to the other ide of the room and gave him a suit of lothes to wear temporarily. As he was about this business he observed the group of gentlemen inspecting the trash he had biought with him. and tartly protested thai they had no right to do it. Being informed that hsy had, he gritted his teeth, and rUT ON HIS CLOTHES.

From this he was taken to what is known as the wash-room, and there he was shaved by a colo ed convict, a barber. He sighed as he got into the chair, and observed that he didn't like to lose his beard, (which he had combed "for th* last time," he said, on the train). Il came off, nevertheless, and in fifteen minutes he got up again, hoiribly Changed in appearance. A more fiendish face than iiih, with the i.eard off, no human ye ever r.sted upon. The lower jaw is heavy set, ind the chin protru.tea an inch almost beyond the lower lip. The mouth ii small" and would be shapely were it not for the s'ightly drooping corners, iu eicli of which a thousand devils linger. The cheek-bones are prominent, and the bulgy forehead acquires hideousness fiom the absence of the "cowlick" that used to stand i»p from it. The eyes are sharp and restless, and the teeth, which are bad and broken, showthrcugh the lips demoniacally when he speaks.

hot he was with hair and beard full jjrown, without them he is hideous and frightful. No man could look upon that face without a feeling of antipathy.

His regular suit of striped clothing was given him when he had been shaved. He was particular in selecting it, and especially careful to get a cap that would fit him. Dressed complete and greatly altered—but not for the better—he approached Mr. Murrey under guidance of thj convict who had helped him in his toilet. He had something in his hand which Mr. Murrey took from him. "It's my beard,'" said he. l'he officer put it upon his desk and said nothing, but reached for a measure and took his height. This ascertained, he

VACCINATION.

"Can't you vaccinate the other arm:" he asked. "This one's lame." "The left arm," stolidly repeated Mr Murrey.

He set his jaw and bared his left arm. The operation was performed in a twinkling, anc* the guard was about to take him away to "the solitary," when Mr. Mur rey observed something in his hand a^ainii JExamination revealed that it was his beard. "Give it to me," said the oflicer. "Let me keep that. I want to send it aw.iv in a letter," he pleaded. "We'll take care of it," replied the officer. and laid it upon the desk again.

Then, without more ado, the "brilliant and daring bandit of the Wabash," the sneak thief and co vardly murderer, the skulk, the tramp, the ex convict of Mich igan City, "the 'pawn-shop liend, Charles A".
