Sketch of the Grime and the Criminal

[Owing to poor telegraph facilities at Rockviile the publication of the following matter in the GAZETTE extra this afternoon was much delayed.] .„ Special Dispatch to the OAZBTTE: *V'- ^RUCKVILLE, Aug. 8th, 1888. •'Buck" Stout was hung at 1:06 P. M. this' afternoon.

Hlilslf of the Crime* With the v-'C,. Attempt te Mob the .Murderer* Friday, November 24th, 1882, "Buck"

Stout committed the crime for which he paid the death penalty to-day. The murder occfirrea in a woods near Darlington, Montgomery county, a small town six miles east of Crawfordsville. The murderer'and-his victim were out together bunting. They quarreled about a quail anfr Stout shot Dunbar twice. It Was a Cold" bleoded, deliberate deed, and the feeling against Stout ran so high that he came within un ace of suffering at the hands of a mob. Stout got away after the deed, buj was arrested at Indianapolis on Saturday night, and that night the officers started with him for Crawfordsville, the seat of the counrv of Montgomery. At Thorntown the officers were notified of the possibility of a mob at Colfax, and took the prisoner from the ir*£ a"VI^m£,^_rlrnd

.... murdered man lived, about 11 o'clock Saturday night, and found the town FULL OF EXCITED MEN. fully five hundred being on the street.

A demand was made for Stout, and several persons climbed up into the carriage and tried to pull him out. A parley was held between the officers and the crowd, and it was agreed that Stout should be taken up into the town hall and questioried in the presence «f the multitude. He was closely guarded by the officers and taken into the building designated, at first only a dozen persons being allowed in the room. The crowd, however, demanded admittance, threatening to .•

BREAK DOWN THE DOOR,

and the officers were obliged to yield. A prominent citizen addressed tbem at »ome length, saying that, as they were all known and without disguises, it -would be exceedingly imprudent for them to attempt a lynching, and that they should be fully convinced of Stout's guilt before they resorted to extreme measures. If be confessed, then the death penalty would be surely inflicted upon him by the law. It he denied bis guilt, then it must be proven. Similar ~t arguments prevailed for a time, aud the miserable wretch was placed upon the stage and questioned by Dr. Hopper. "Did vou kill Dunbar?" was asked. "Yes, I guess I did," was the surly spouse. "What for?" "Just for

DAMNED MEANNESS,

reckonHe then went on to say that he had struck Dunbar twice with a club, & and then Bhot him, after which he robt. bed the body of $4 and fled. This conI'i fession infuriated the crowd, and another effort was made to get at the iv prisoner, but it failed. He was then taken back to the carriage and a start for Crawfordsville was made.

HOW'THK MOB WAS FRUSTRATED. I a a Ijeen idie, butflftv or one hundred men I had left tike hall and procured disguises.

Thej stationed themselves by the side of the Crwfordsville road, at the foot of *v a large Wrl, to await the coming of the carriage, when it reached the top of the hill the offioers saw the mob at the foot, and immediately turned around, let down a fence, drove at breakneck speed through a field to a country road, and by going nix or eight miles out of the way, by a roundabout ronte,

ESCAPED THE MOB,

who followed for some distance on foot. .•£ Crawfordsville was reached about 2 o'clock Sunday morning and Stout put in fe jail. There was great excitement at

Crawfordsville and threats that a mob :4 would oome Irorn Darlington and lynch $ him. 6T0UT'S STATEMENT, IS To a reporter who visited him in the o' jail the murderer said: "I killed Dunbar and it came about in this way: We were out together and had been hunting. 1 had killed a quail and he took it and put it in his pocket.

I wanted it and asked him for it, and we stood there and fussed about the matter. Finally I got mad and called him a liar. He jumped up and started at me with his gun, saying he would kill me for ealling him that, and 1 hit him over the head with the club and knocked him down. He got up and came after me again and we scuffled for several minutes then I struck him onoe more with the club and took the gun away from bim and shot him twice."

THE TRIAL*

Montgomery county never had a hanging, regalar or irregular, and the prospeot was bright for one but Stout's attorneys secured a change of venue from

the Montgomery County .'.Court and the judge sent it to Rockyijle. The trial was long and tedious. Stout bad able counsel. John Courtney, ef Crawfordsville. and Duncan Puett, of Rockviile, gave him all the legal assistance that could be desired. Insanity was the plea, but it failed to impress the jury, and on Friday, January 26,1883, the jury, after being out for twenty hours, brought in a vordTctof murder in the first degree with the sentence of death." Stout maintained a sullen,

STOLID INDIRJRERE»C*"

throughout the trial, and the verdict did not seem to havo any outward effect on him. Judge Heller, of Indianapolia, was the presiding judge. A motion was made for a new trial, nineteen objections, most of them technical in tneir bearing, beiutr urged, but the case bad been singularly impartial and free from error, and the court overruled the motion on the night of Monday, APrU 23. After the motion had been overruled the judge called the prisoner and asked him if he had anything to say why the sentence of the court should not be pronounced upon him.

The Frisoner—"No, sir, unless my counsel has." Judge Heller then sentenced him to he banged on Wednesday, the 8th of August. between the hours of 12 and 2 o'clock. The same indifference that characterized Stout during the trial was manitested when the fatal words of the court were uttered, and be

NODDED CARELESSLY

Wheff^the judge had closed. The case was taken to the Supreme Court, and but a few weeks ago the high tribunal affirmed the judgment of the court below. It is a noticeable fact that the Supreme Court has affirmed Judge Ileller in nearly every murder case in which an appeal has been taken from bim.

PETITION TO THE GOVERNOR. The last chance was commutation at the bands of the Governor, and for that John Courtney, Stout's attorney, worked hard lately. A petition asking the Executive to commute the sentenoe on account of epilepsy, with which it was alleged Stout had suffered nearly all his life, was filed with Governor Porter, and denied.

Joseph W Stout, or "Buck" Stout, as he is more commonly known, was born on the 17th of December, 1861, and is consequently in his 22d year. His father and mother both reside in Darlington and are poor. "Buck" was always a dare-devil sort of a fellow, and many stories are told of his perilous adventures while a lad. He was disposed to profanity and unbelief, but recently has bad several satisfactory interviews with a minister who came to administer to his spiritual self.

A RUSH TO THE EXECUTION. There has on)y been one previous exeou£to* nJRMk^Sijuitjr, d.hiqlicaUoni havo been pouring into Sheriff Masser from all four corners, so great has been the desire to witness the hanging. It has been the one great topic of conversation in Parke county. The worthy sheriff of Parke has been unduly perplexed by the numerous applications on his friendship, and has letters enough on that subject to keep a paper factory running for two whole weeks and enough hanging literature on hand to haunt him for a lifetime. ».jv

The Day At Rockviile. 4 I -it-

Special to the Gtazette: ROCKVILLK, Aug. 3th, 11 A. M. When the train from Terre Haute pulled into Rockvilletbis morning a number of boys met the people as they stepped off the platform with'the general cry: pictures of Buck Stout, sir only twenty-

five

cents." Each boy had a half dozen

so of the condemned man's pictures, but did not seem to Tie selling them very fast. Judging Stout from the photoaphs thus offered for sale he is not a esperate looking fellow. His appearance indicates a dreamy, careless disposition.. He has a black mustache and heavy eyebrows and was dressed well. The sky is clear to-day and the streets are lull of people. The object of most curiosity, of course, is the enclosure within which the execution is to take place. The enclosure is to the east of the jail and there was evidently not much time or care spent ia erecting it. The Sheriff has a kind, benevolent face and stated this morning that the execution would occur as soon after 1 o'clock as possible. This is a gieat day for the Mccune Cadets. The Cadets are the hope and pride of Rockviile. The members have been up and on their ieet in uniform ever since the break of dawn. They have not been the objects of so much importance since tbe founding of the organization and they are ,,consequently making the most of it.

consists ol two upright posts 6x6 and 13 feet in height with a cross piece from one to the other, 10 feet. This is set out twelve feet from the east side of the boiler house trom which ties also run to the uprights forming a floor ten by twelve feet At the east end of the floor or between the two uprights is the trap, three teet, two inches square, which at the west side is hung on two hinges and on the east side rests two movable pegs. The pegs are operated by ropee attached to a lever, which, when pulled, removes the pegs and allows the trap door to fall, Tbe rope is attached to a steeple in the cross beam above the trap. From the south side of the enclosure steps ascend to the floor above upon which the culprit walked. The machine was patterned alter that which hung Watson at New

He got up at 5 o'clock and walked about his cell until 6, when he ate breakfast. At 8:30 hia spiritual adviser, Elder Fnson, and several friends went into the corridors of the jail, all bidding him-farewell. Elder Fuson remained with Stout in prayer and bible reading.

R-KTOMFA MOTHER, $

On last Friday the mother of Stoutpaid her boy a visit. The scene was affe«ting: Stout maintained his usual in* difference until the parting and then he broke into tears. The mother advised him with that mother's warning phrase, "be a good boy," and told him to meet his fate like a man and not think u)f taking his own lite. He promisedv to heed her advice, at which she seemed much comforted. While hia jhottor was present, Elder Fuson called' fhd talked an hour with him, moying him io tears. A prayer followed. All day Saturday he remained in his meditative mood cxcept an hour .hi the afternoon when he slept, notwfth standing the noise from the scaffo*" cliMura which the carped) tag, at& WhW&irbeat? through the jail as notes fromtis etfbing hears. ^_

he talked freely but meditatively. Referring to the scaffold be said: "I don't believe that drop is enough do you? A fall of 6*4 feet won't break a man's neck, will it? Its hard for a man in the prime of life to know that has but two and a half days to live." That night he was unusually restless. Monday, Elder Fuson called and held prayer as usual.

Stout's only relative in town to-day is a cousin, Joel Stout, who lives northwest of Darlington.

Dunbar, the victim of the tragedy, was a middle aged man, who lived at* Darlington and owned a little store, conducted in connection therewith a huckster and produce exchange. He made triweekly visits to his coBtomers and on one of these visits it was, that he was murdered. He was a sickly man although strong in appearance. Was married and left a wife and five little children in indigent circumstances.

THE TERRE HAUTE DELEGATION.

Among the Terre Haute people who are here, are Deputy Sheriff Mahan, City Marshal Leedham, Joe ReagaD, Frank Lee, James Cox, C. Stark and C. Sleumpfle. Messrs. Fishback and Hargraves are here representing the Express, The newspaper gang is out in force the ranks being largely recruited since yesterday. Prominent among the pencil shovers is Mr. Mont Casey, the editor of that progressive and fiery journal, the Clinton Herald. The Crawfordsville papers are well represented and some of the metropolitan .dailies have reporters here. "CROUDS' ABOUT THE JAIL.

At 9 o'clock a large crowd began to gather around the jail and intently watched the window where the condemed man's face could occasionally be seen. Guards were stationed within the iron fence around the jail.

At 10:30 o'clock there were at least 500 people in and about the building and the crowd was constantly increasing. There is every indication of there being a tremendous crowd oi people outside tbe enclosure by the time the hour of the execution arrives.

POPULAR FEELING AGAINST HANGING. A large number of the citizens up here, judging by what talk has been heard on the streets, are against capital punishment and are not at all backward about expressing it. This is the second execution that has ever taken place in the county. One old man was heard to remark "It oughtn't to be allowed to take place." ..

A WARNING NOTICE—WIRES COT. NEW YORK, Aug. 7.—The following hes just been issued:

Executive office Western Union Telegraph Co., New Tork, Aug. 7th, 1883. NOTICE—It has come to our knowledge that in connection with the strike of operators and linsmen an organized plan of cutting and crossing the wires of the Western UnioQ and other companies in New York City and vicinity hap been agreed upon and is now being carried out. In pursuance of such plan a large number of our wires have been cut during the past week and 59 wires were cut last night in New fork and vicinity, the work showing all the marks of having been done by skilled hands. One thousand dollars reward will be paid by th company for the arrest and conviction of each and every person willfully displacing, injuring or destroying any part of this companies' lines or appurtenances. (Signed)

The Western Union Telegraph Co., by Thomas Eckert, ^cting president. In relation to the matter the officials of the Co. say the cable box was destroyed last night, and.thc cables cut and that 26 out of

Mutual wires have been Ntj RENDERED USELESS

at Scarsdale,and that American Union and Atlantic Pacific routes to Boston were interrupted with the evident intention of preventing the Boston papers trom getting full reports of the Sullivan^Slade aflair at Madison Square Garden.

MORE WIRES COT.

NEW YORK, Aug. 8.—Last night another onslaught was made upon the wires of the New York Telegraph Company, the consequences of which are for more disastrous than that of the proceeding night. Press Agent Somerville of the Western Union said this morning that twenty wires on one vroute

and fourteen

on another between Passaic and Elizabethport, N. J., have been cut. These were wires to Philadelphia and other southern division the Mutual Union between King's Bridge

In:

points. twenty of wires were cut and Scarsdale. Hudson river wires are eighteen wires in eastern stroyed. Between Port Chester and Greenwich Conn., the cross arms have been sawed off and inlatter instances wires are cut besides. Most wires went down slowly after 12 o'clock. A large* force of linemen was sent out to repair the damages. "For a longtime this morning" said at Mr.Somerville we were greatly delayed. Supt. Humistone estimated that when work was begun this morning one half of tha wires to Philadelphia, one quarter of those to the west and one third of these on eastern circuits could not be used. The number of wires cut was eighty but nearly two-hundred have been rendered uselees, in consequence. A telegram from Fort Washington said a gang of men had interfered with tbe linemen who were repairing wires there and police patrol had been asked in case the interference was repeated.

At Tarry Town twelve down and circuits de-

No clue has yet been discovered of uie authors ot the mischief, although the greatest skill is being exercised. The Western Unfon Company has employed detectives to ferret out the perportrators ot the wire cutting. It is the general opinion that the striking linemen are answerable for the injuries. The company is considerably put out by this new method of war.

Brotherhood Deny.

At head quarters of brotherhood of telegraphers it was emphatically denied that cutting was being done by striking linemen-

Worse Thaa First Reported. 1 BALTIMORE, August 8—The officials in the main office of the B. & O. telegraph .company, made the following statement: All operators at Camden station qnit work to-day. Not one remained. They have heard from nearly eveiy, station along the lines of the rail. road and the number of .striker* leaving their posts does not exceed a half dezen and their places here have been supplied. The strike at Camden station, they say, is not of a serious nature, as the main office at Baltimore and Calvert station can he used for all tha work ot the Camden station. .. THE CHESAPEAKE OHIOV

A OPERATORS."

P. M. Arthur of the Locomotive Broth, erhood says that if the railroad operators should go ont it would make no difference to us. Trainb were ran before the telegraph was used, and if necessary it could be done again. If there was dagger oi a collision or other accidents railroad authorities would not permit trainsto nm Hence it would net be necessary for us to fetes* to go. Knowing as wedo that our employers would not order us to QO so, we are satisfied, with our own condition, and the strike of other organisations do not affect us. Great pressure has been brought to bear to gel us to connect ourselves with other labor unions, but we have always refused to have anything to do with them, and therein lies the secret ot our sucoess. •BASKING THE WRONG TREE.

P1TT8BDRG, August 8—One non-union operator working in the Western Union office in this city was assaulted bv two strikers, to-day, but inflicted more -c serious injuries than he sustained.

Both sides remain as confident as ever and the public is in as much doubt about it as it has always been.|j

AN INTERVIEW WITH FOR0.

KANSAS CITY, MO., Aug. 7.—The Star prints an interview with Charlie Ford, who is now under $5,000 bond on a charge of complicity in the Blue-cut train robbery, in which he recounts his connection with the James gang, and negotiations with the authorities which led to the killing of James. Ford admits participation in the Blue-cut robbery, but says he jftined the gaag solely to gain their confidence with a view to Jesse'a capture, and that he returned his share of the plunder to the owners after the robbery. He asserts that negotiations with the Governor bad begun some weeks prior to this time, and Police Commissioner Craig, of this city, knew of hia connection with the robbery and prommised that he should be protected ii» everything. He says biB brother Boh made arrangements with Governor Crittenden that the Governor promised them a reward if they would bring in James— $40,000 if alive, or $10,000 if dead—and told him if he wanted more men to call on Commissioner Craig or Sheriff Timberlake. These three officials, Charlie says, assured Bob if they would bring Jessie in, they (the authorities) would Y--' .-. protect them from all barm. After par- 5$ don, he continue*, from the sentence of murder for the killing of Jessie, he and Bob returned to Kansas City, and Craig gave them a pair of United States pistols, sent by Governor Crittenden, and told them to consider themselvesothcer?, and. prepare for any and all services. Ford's story, as given to tbe reporter is lengthy and highly interesting. The above outline, however, covers the more important features. In tbe Recorder's Court this afternoon Charlie Ford was fined $zOO for carrying arevolver without authority. Commissioner Craig and Chief of Police Speers testified that they believed such
