The appearence of a prisoner who, on
committing suicide in the Illinois peni
tentiary, leaves a letter declaring that
he with companions murdered Thomas
D. Kahney. on the S. S. Pittsburg, is an
interesting curiosity. It was for Rah
uey's death that Dorman and the two
Biddies were convicted, and the asser
tion of the departed Illinois convict is
that these men were condemned for a
crime they did not commit. Inasmuch
as the only man legally punished for
the crime was Dorman. who is in the
penitentiary, convicted on l|is own con
fession, this posthumous assertion is
important mainly as a curiosity. It is
more likely that a criminal prior to his
suicide became subject to delusion than
that Dorman in court testified to his
participation in a crime that neither he
aor his accomplices were engaged in.

man from the Second Oregon district,
