TORONTO, June 8. Of the Ihree m -n,
Fred I.ee ltice, Thomas Jones and 1'r.llin
Ilutlcdge elrndited from Chicago tc
tn in! trial for the rohhery of n bank In
t utora. Out., Itice is the only living sur
vivor of the trio to serve out the 'i yean
imprisonment to which he was sentenced
Friday morning.
Two tragedies have put Jones ami Rut
ledo beyond reach of the law. .loot
died from bullet wounds received ill a
desperate attempt to escape from the otll
ccrs who were transferring the prisoner
from the courthouse to the jail Inst T l--
d.iv, ami Rutlcdgt; committed suicide y
teiilay by jumping from the gallery In
the jail to the stone court, !)( feet below,
Friday morning I' ice ami ltntledgi1
were sentenced to 21 years' imprisonment
in Kingston penitentiary fur robbing the
Aurora bank.
The second tragedy occurred yesterday
afternoon. Itutleilge wn being taken
with another prisoner, in charge of one
of the jail guards, to dinner about 3
o'clock. Suddenly he made a dash nnd
springing up the stairway mounted to
the gnllery running around inside of the
jail, W feet from the floor. Climbing
over the railing ltutledge jumped. He
fell in n heup on the stone Door, fractur
ing his skull. He was immediately taken
o the hospital where he died at S
'clock, without regaining consciousness.
Itutleilge was credited wilh being the
rfnglcnilcr of the robber trio and he had
record as an all-round criminal and a
ilespinte man. He was a nntive ol
Streetsville and was the only Canadian
member of the gang. ltutledge seemed to
tnke the sentence of 21 years yesterday
morning with eiiiinaiuily. He turned
pale, but showed no signs of fnltcriuK
when leaving the dock or in appearing
Inter at the police court to plead on the
charge of murdering ( unstable Roy 1,
He seemed to tnke great interest in all the
proceedings and talked frequently with
ltiee and his lawyer. Going back to the
jail nothing unusual was noticed in his
behavior heroml a moody silence, which.
iu the circumstances, was not looked upon
as aigiiilicniit.
UNLOOKED-FOR TEST-
Tacht Independence Withstand a 8evere
Accidental Trial.
BOSTON, June 7. The Lawson yacht
Independence in her second sail trial yes
terday met with h"r first accident, a not
very serious jamming of the steering
gear, but sufficient to stop the trial af
ter an hour ami a half of splendid sail
ing, during which she attained a speed,
on a reach of n little over three miles, of
IV j nautical mile nn hour. The acci
dent led very unexpectedly to n most
thorough test nf the yacht's rigging and
her big steel mast, through the sudden
gybing without preventer stays being run
hack to take up the strain nnd the re
sult showed that it requires a pretty se
vere blow to dismast the Boston yacht.
The tiig boom, swung hy a 1.1-knot
breeze, swept over the stern of the yacht
at n tremendous speed. Captain Huff Is-
ing unable to prevent it. It was so sud
den that none of the crew was aft with
the preveuter tackle and the big mast
hail to stand the entire weight of the sail
ami boom. There wns not n man on the
bont who did not think the mast would
go, but the big steel spar stood the strain
and now the designer, the skipper and
the crew have the greatest confidence in
it in consequence of this severe test.

a date has been referred to the executive
committee, and will afterwards be sub
mitted to a vote of the members. In any
