PREACHER TCDD B. HALL
Addressed a large Audience in. the
Y. M. C. A. Building.
BALTIMORE DETECTIVE CHIEF.
His liranmir Not Exactly Cornet, but
His Matter is Excellent-Interested His
Hearers from the llegtnninc-In-
tcrcMinc Kesalnisccnccs.
Todd B. Hall, chief of the detective
bureau of the Baltimore police depart
ment. Isn't a Rood grammarian but he
has the art of preaching to a mixed
body of religious and sinful men down
to a tine point. In the Young Men's
Christian Association building yester
day afternoon he addressed an aud
ience of several hundred men and boys
who nearly filled the auditorium, and
when the address was ended few real
ized that they had been listening an
hour and ten minutes to a man who
for twenty years has been a noted
hunter of criminals and who for seven
teen years has been a Christian.
Chief Hall Is fifty-seven years old
and rose to his present responsible
position In the Baltimore police depart
ment by graduul promotion from the
patrolman's rank. His demeanor and
gesture while makinir a speech might
remind one of a successful traveling
salesman using persuasive argument,
reminiscences and wit while trying to
muke a sale. The only difference Is
that Chief Hall Is talking religion and
trying to Iniluence any number of his
hearers to acknowledge Jesus Christ as
their' savior. 'His opening comment
that he felt more at ease and freer to
talk in the presence of men was ex
plained later by the frequent but per
fectly, natural use of police slang, which
was stripped of Its harshness by the
perfect ease of the speaker and the
sincerity and earnestness which ac
companied every word.
Must obey Superiors.
He began by saying that as men obey
and respect their superiors In business
life, they should obey and respect their
superior in heaven, and that men fre
quently are cureless of their spiritual
welfare because they cannot or will not
comprehend the peace and contented
ness that came with acknowledging al
legiance to Chlst.
"I'm going! to tell of Jesus Christ if I
get my mouth slapped every time I
open It," he said; "I'm going to tell
about Christ to every man I collur, and
I'm going to tell him, too, what a dirty
whelp the devil Is."
Chief Hall said It was his custom to
talk religion to every criminal he came
in contact with, provided the opportun
ity were offered. He preached a ser
mon 300 miles long to a forger while en
route from Boston, where he had been
extrudlted, to Baltimore. The prisoner
had been a druggist, but was ruined
at poker by a doctor and a detective,
and to obtain money had forged checks
und escaped. Chief Hull's long talk on
the train converted the man, who,
through the former's Influence, was
saved a penitentiary sentence, but was
confined u year nnd u half In Jail. On
his release he Joined his wife, whom he
hud deserted, and is now a respected
citizen in a Virginia town. This was
one of several similar episodes related.
"While I'll always be easy on the fol
low who I think repents his sins, I'll
'do' tlie professional every time; locked
up, less injury will be done to them
selves and the community."
He Converted a Forgeror.
Of an intelligent and well connected
man who became a forger and was
converted through his efforts, Chief
Hull suld, "Instead of monkeyln' his
life and everybody else's awuy, he's
now givln' his neighbors and friends
the strulght thing. It will be the sume
with any of you; you've got to be men
and have all your buttons oh or you'll
get left.
"It's 'son' and not 'sin. "he continued,
that concerns us today. Christ was
here once und did a perfect Job even to
undergoing death on the cross us a
penalty of our forefathers' sins It was
a complete piece of work In every de
tail. He was given a seat on the throne
of Ood and set there to pass Judgment
on the world. So, I say. It's more 'son'
than 'sin' that we ought to be thinking
about; it's Him who does the business.
I was away from him for forty years
before I took' a tumble to myself.
"The devil said I couldn't be a be
liever and a detective. He's a liar and
a fraud, and I've been proving this for
seventeen years. When I have a Job
to do 1 ask the Lord to help me then
look out! I've held a position this long
and I guess the Lord and I do good
work. If we didn't get along right well
together, then there would be trouble
and I'd lose my Job. I don't hold It by
preaching one day and punderlng to
those In high office the next, either.
After my conversion I did as near right
as I could and looked only to my Im
mediate superior officer. I let those
higher up think as they pleased of me,
and now you see it has come out all
right."
The Efficacy of Prayer.
The detective chief related an Inter
esting Incident Illustrating the efficacy
of prayer and which happened soon af
ter his conversion and while he was a
patrolman. He owed $75 on a note due
a well-to-do broker whose conversion
was brought about at the same time as
was Hall's. ' On the day before payment
was due he was practically penniless.
His Inability to cancel the note trou
bled him greatly, not because the holder
would be unwilling to extend the paper,
but because Hall disliked breaking his
word andwasaversetoasking the favor.
Before leaving home on the day before
payment was due he prayed for help.
It was at family prayer, and his wife
prayed with him. That day he was de
tailed to patrol, as he did one week in
every fifteen, the bank and broker dis
trlct. On a certain corner he met the
son of the man who held the note. The
son's conduct had for a long time wor
ried the parent, and Hall for an hour or
more pleaded with the young man to
reform. That night while Hall was at
supper and worrying about the note, the
father of the young man called. He
had occupied a position In a' window of
the stock exchange during the conver
sation referred to and came to ask Hall
what was being discussed.. Hall told
him. The father explained that the
boy had begged forgiveness and for the
first time promised to live better. To
show his gratitude the fater gave Hall
his note and five T bills.
The close of the meeting showed
what was the result of the address.
Chief Hall took from his valise a bundle
of smull pamphlets, each of which, he
explained, contained an introduction to
Jesus Christ. He requested that any
who were not Christians come forward
and get an introduction. About 100 re
sponded. The pamphlets given them
contained a score or more of Scripture
promises of. forgiveness of sin. The
speaker then requested all to write their
address on sllys of paper, to guide him
In sending each a helpful book upon
his return to Baltimore. '
Chief Hall s visit to Scranton Incurred
no remuneration beyond bis actual ex i
pensvsi. addressed a Rescue Mis

The letter was addressed to the board

after that before the letter was written.
I cannot nay who will be my successor.
Will I May In Scranton? That I can
not answer. 1 have no definite business

The alKve statement was made In

Dickson was averse to discussing his
resignation in any light.
James P. Dickson was born July i.

he was aufllriently advanced In study
to enter Lafayette college, but after a

most Important work. "The Orand
Duchesn." of which will be given most
sumptuous and elaborate stage Investi
ture. Miss Itussell is in better health
and voice this season than ever before,

TO L.ICLNSK AUTIONEERS.
Irresponsible riv-by-Mght Coneerns Will
Have to Help Po the City Expenses.
The ordinance compelling auctioneers
to take out a city license and give a
bond for the protection of consignors
of goods, which was Introduced and
passed 4n councils through the efforts
of Mr. Iteagnn, of the Sixth ward, re
ceived the signature of Mayor .Con
nell on Saturday and ts therefore now
in operation.
By the provisions of this new meas
ure no person or corporation shall, ex
cept oh judicial sales, expose or offer
for sale at auction any goods, wares
or merchandise, unless an auctioneer's
license is first secured, for which li
cense $75 must be annually paid to the
city treasurer. In addition to this a
bond of $500 must be filed with the
treasurer in order that the consignors
of goods may be protected, against
fraud. A penalty of S100 Is fixed for
violation of the ordinance.
The main object of the ordinance is
to dlscourasre the wlll-o-the-wlnp con
cerns which frequently come to the

ter Into competition with permanently
established merchants who have to pay
taxes for the privilege of conducting
business.

Blonde Curls to a Jury.
Lll Henry, the corpulent, fluffy-haired
blonde, will have to answer at court for
.being the proprietress of a nouse of ill-
fame thai has been one of the pest
spots of the city. Lit would much pre
fer to nay a large fine for the wo
men of the half-world have a horror of
being drajrped into criminal court. - Al
derman Millar, before whom Miss
Henry and the Inmates of her house
.'Were given a hearing Saturday, decided
not to be lenient with her and asked
$500 ball for her appearance at court. '
Three of the Inmates, Nellie Schu

tacle was well mounted but the com
pany was Inferior to many that have
heretofore been seen In the "Crook" in
this city.
The best feature of the performances
was the specialties Introduced by
Louise Montrose and J. M. World. j

SENTENCE OP DEATH TODAY.
Judge Edwards Handed lown an Opinion
Saturday Refusing m New Trial
Prisoner Killed F.manual l.oro, at
Old Forge, Jane 17. 1894.
In an opinion handed down at noon,
the prisoner being present In court,
Judge Edwards refused to grant Mur
derer Crexenio Merolo .a new trial
Sentence of death will be Imposed this
morning and within ten days the record
will be certified to Governor Hastings,
who will appoint the date of execution.
In all probability the case will be taken
to the supreme court, but that has not
been decided definitely yet.
The opinion refusing the defendant a
new trial Is a lengthy one. It recites
that a rule for a rehearing was granted
in order that the case might be care
fully reviewed and error corrected If
any were made. The three Judges lis
tened to the argument to give the de
fendant the benefit of every reasonable
chance for his life. The first reason
assigned by defendant's rounsel was
that the court erred In refusing to con
tinue the case until January to allow
tlme for witnesses to arrive here who
would be very material to the defend
ant's Interest and would serve to acquit
him of the crime with which he was
charged.
This specification was passed over
by the court as not deserving of serious
consideration. because the attorneys for
the defense had not given the names
of even one of these alleged witnesses.
The principal other reasons - assigned
pertained to certain Improper remarks
alleged to have been made by District
Attorney John R. Jones while the case
was on trial. Some of these Interject
ory phrases are not of record and
therefore the court could not deal with
them, so they were passed over.
Perjured Himself aa Well.
But there wus one remark made by
Mr. Jones, found upon record and the
court passed on It. When Merolo was
on the witness stand the district attor
ney ordered him down after asking him
a few questions, and he said he did not
wish to see him add perjury to the
crime of murder, of which he was
guilty. Judge Edwards ruled that this
remark was altogether proper In argu
ing to the Jury, but that It ought not
to have been uttered during the hearing
of the evidence. Still the only deduc
tion from the evidence. Judge IM wards
admitted, was that Merolo committed
perjury.
The refusal of the court to Instruct
the jury in relation to manslaughter
was bused as a reason for a new trial.
The opinion says that under the evi
dence it would be Impossible to Instruct
the Jury differently, and thut the evi
dence fully sustulned the verdict of
murder of the first degree.
The defendant's counsel freely admit
ted during the trial thut the killing of
Kmunuel l.oro was a foul, brutal and
deliberate murder, und the perpetrator
of It deserved the extreme penalty of
the luw; but the defense offered was
busd upon mistaken identity. Five
shots were fired tit the deceased. The
victim retreated to tlie fence and not
withstanding a piteous appeul for
mercy, three shots were fired Into his
body and he fell dead on, the roadside.
The Only Verdict Consistent.
This act was witnessed by fourteen
persons, their testimony was positive
that the defendant was the one who
did It, therefore says tlie opinion, any
other verdict would have been a mis
carriage of justice The lust assign
ment of errors maintaining that the
verdict was against the weight of the
evidence as to the Identity of the pris
oner with the person who did the kill
ing. Judge 1-M wards thinks, Is. hardly
deserving of serious consideration. The
evidence of the scar or scratch upon
the face of the defendant was left
with the Jury under proper instructions.
More than twenty-live witnesses posi
tively identified the prisoner as Merolo;
the miner with whom he worked side hy
side for eight months: people with
whom he boarded or lodged: neighbors
who lived near him and saw him almost
dally; men who worked- In the same
mines; persons who ate at the Biime
table; others who drank at the same
bar and played pool with him; the
president and members o. the Italian
society to which he belonged, and the
meetings of which he attended, all
unite In their Identification of the de
fendants as Merolo.
After considering the argument of de
fendant's counsel and the matters com
plained of by them, whether excepted
to or not, Judge Kd wards decrees that
the rule Is discharged and a new trial
refused. This was done In open court
and In the presence of the defendant.
The prisoner tukes his fate very pro
saically and has nothing to say about
whether he feels It keenly or not.

ity of 17.500 barrels a day.

KILLED WHILE AT PLAY.
Sixteen- Year-Old Willie Thomas Engaged
In Itangeroua port Loses His Life,
While playing about the railroad near
the Rellevue breaker Saturday after
noon Willie Thomas, a 16-year-old lad
who lived with his widowed mother,
Mrs. J. E. Thomas, at 1134 Kynon
street, was run down by a train and
Instantly killed.
In company with a number of other
boys of his own age he was amusing
himself during the afternoon by Jump-
Ing from the high trestle to the' culm
dump. About 4.30 o'clock his playmates
noticed that he had withdrawn from
the crowd and upon looking for him
they saw him jumping aboard a freight
train hound for the city. A few hun
dred yards up the track he was seen to
jump off again and start back on the
southbound track. An engine running
backward and drawing a long line of
empty cars came upon him from be
hind and when his companions next
saw him he was a bleeding and man
gled corpse. Nineteen cars passed over
his body before the train could be
brought to a standstill. The boy's left
leg was almost completely severed and
his face and body were horribly cut and
Bruised.
The remains were conveyed to his
mother's home in the Bellevue mine
ambutence. In the evening Coroner
Lonsrstreet and a Jury, consisting of
Dr. Penny-packer, Undertaker W. C.
Price. George W. Evans, Reese C. Pow
ell, Ely Harris and G. 8. Williams, held
an Inquest at the home and after hear
Ing the testimony of Thomas Jones,
one of the unfortunate lad's playmates,
rendered a verdict to the effect that the
lad had come to his death while care
lessly playing about the tracks of the
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
company. The funeral will occur to
morrow afternoon.
