JUDGE NORMILE DEAD
*
HE TAKES POISON AND BLAMES THE
ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH.
The Judge Had Intended to .Shoot Man
aging I'D 11 tor White, but Changed Ills
Mind—The Suicide Becomes a Singular
Sequence to the Curse of a Mother.
ST. LOUIS, Aug. 10.—This city WHS thrown
into a state of great excitement by the re
port that Hon. James C. Normile, judge of
the criminal court, had committed suicide
at his boarding house, 1,4542 Washington
avenue.
Judge Normile returned to his boarding
house after a short visit to the busiuess por
tion of the city. On entering the house he
requestod his landlady to come to his room
• in an hour, stating that he felt unwell and
that he might bo seriously ill at that hour.
The judge retired to bis room, aud when
it was visited by the landlady she found
him lying dead on the bed. On a small ta
bio was an empty phial which had ovidently
contained acid of an extreme and deadly
character. Physicians wero at once sum
moned, but a glance showed that the vic
tim was beyond all human aid. On the
stand adjoining the bed was a note ad
dressod to the coroner, the contents of
which are at present withhold from the
public, but which aro supposed to give the
reason for the self murdor. 1
The Libel Suit.
Some timo ago the Post-Dispatch, of this
city, severoly criticised the judicial admin
istration of Judge Normile, and recently
the judge brought suit for libel against that
paper in the sum of $400,000. Monday de
positions wore being taken ill the proceed
ings and Judge Nonnile was subjected to a
♦ sovere examination as to his antecedents,
life and rulings. It is believed that the ex
amination preyed heavily on his mind.
Monday night he was seen in various re
sorts and gave evidence of huving drank
heavily.
The following note was found iu a diary
on the person of Judgo Normile and had
ovidently boeu writton just before his
death:
For more than a year the ntrocious libelers
of The Post-Dispatch have had me on the rack.
They have almost uutittod mo from perform
ing my judicial duties and made life little loss
than a protracted torture. For the past week
I have slept little. I concluded to go to tho
office and kill Florence White, managing editor
of Tho Post-Dispatch, but I have Just this
morning abandoned this purpose, as I shrink
from taking humau life, especially while being
a judge. I cannot fight this paper in the courts.
Tho law is slow, and it would be more than a
year probably beforo I could got the damago
case brought to trial. I crave rest, which also
I must seek in tho grave, upon whose brink I
+ pencil these closing lines.
The Judge Made Ills Will.
Among the personal papers of Judge Nor
mile was found a last and testament
which the judge hod up and signed
just previous to taking tho poison. He
directs that his counsel, Chester H. Krum,
be paid $1,000; that provision bo made to
secure payment of a note for $3,000 held by
a local bank, and that his mining stock, of
which ho had a large quantity, be held for
flvo years beforo selling.
Judge Normile was born in Ireland in
1844. He came to this country at an early
age, and with his parents passed the years
provious to his majority in Kansas. He
studied law in Georgetown university and
later in tho law department of the Colum-
bian university at Washington. He was
elected circuit attorney of this city in 1872
and was elected judge of the criminal court
in 1870. He was re-elected in 1890 for six
years. Judge Nonnile was uumarried and
leaves but a moderate fortune.
% A Mother's Curse.
Judge James C. Normile was prosecuting
a attorney in the famous trial of Walter Len
# nox-Maxwell, alias Brooks, who was con
victed and executed for the murder of his
friend and bouefactor, C. Arthur Prelier, at
the Southern hotel, eight years ago. Prel
ier was killed and his body placed in a
trunk, where it was discovered several days
after the murderer had flown. Ho was ar
rested at Auckland, New Zealand, and
brought back. His father and mother came
from England, where Brooks, senior, is a
schoolmaster, and made a heroic effort to
savo him. Failing, they remained till after
the execution. Mrs. Brooks was convinced
of her son's innocence, and it was said at
the time in St. Louis that she cursed the
trial judge, the prosecuting attorney, and
lastly Governor Morehouse, who refused
to interfere.
Judge Van Wagoner failed of a ro-elec
tion, Governor Morehouso committed sui
cide in a fit of delirium less than a year ago,
and now the prosecutor, Normile, has died
by his own hands.

SKIPPED THE TOWN.
A Hungarian Holm Three of His Fellow-
Countryman and Departs.
Paul Meyer, a Hungarian residing in
the Coxe addition, was employed at out
side work in Drifton, but lie was dis
satisfied with the slow method of getting
rich hy working around the mines, and
on Tuesday night he hit upon a plan
which lie thought would increase his
little iiile without any muscular exertion.
Knowing that his fellow-hoarders were
saving up their earnings, he remained
from work yesterday, and after the
others had left the house he went
through their trunks and clothing, and
was well-rewarded for his labor.
Commencing in the room where
Charles Kakas slept he found $36, which
was quickly transferred to his own
pocket. This only wetted his appetite
for money, and he investigated Joseph
Ur's clothes,where he obtained S4O more.
Paul thought of the old proverb, "there's
luck in odd numbers," so he tackled the
trunk of the third hoarder, Simon Toker,
and added SO7 to his heap. Then he
counted up the amount and found that
the raid had netted him $173. Visions
of Wilkes-Barre jail and the vengeance
ot his countrymen loomed up before
him, and without even a friendly good
bye to those with whom he boarded he
ran to the Lehigh Valley station and
disappeared.
When the boarders came home last
night there was a small war in that
neighborhood. All jumped to the con
clusion that Meyer was the thief, and a
warrant was sworn out for his arrest be
fore Squire Buckley and given to Cons
tables Sault and Seiwell. They expect to
have him arrested in a few days. Meyer
is described as being about 5 feet G inches
tall, 46 years of age, black hair and black
moustache, has a bald spot on his head
and his left hand is stiffened from an in
jury received some time ago.
Heat anl Robbed an Italian.
Dominic Calantonic, an Italian, is
lying at the Ha/.leton hospital in a criti
cal condition. The Standard this morn
ing says that while waiting at the Lumber
Yard on Tuesday evening for the late
train to convey him to his home, which
he claims is in Pottsville, he was set
upon by four toughs, who nearly beat
bim to death and then relieved Lira of
his watch and $35 in cash, lie was ter
ribly cut about the head and body. The
operator at the Lumber Yard says that
in the early part of the evening he saw
four men from Ha/Je Brook loitering
around the depot and it is more than
likely that these parties had a hand in
the deed. He also stated that he would
be able, he thought, to identify them.
Constable Zeigler and Zclander went
to Ha/.le Brook last evening and arrest
ed John Sweeney, John Khoades, John
Whitneck and George Swartz. on the
charge of being the perpetrators. The
young men were taken to Ilazleton, but
as there was no one there to identify
them in connection with the robbery
they were released.

previous excursions, and if the weather

edly succeed. Owing to the P. &R. offi

FREELAND, LUZERNE COUNTY, PA., AUGUST 11, 1892.
A MISSING BOY.
He Goes to Homestead With the
Ninth Hut lias Not Returned.
When Captain Wallace, of Company
E, Parsons, left for Homestead, he took
with him the sixteen-year-old son of P.
J. Gallagher, of Wilkes-Barre, to act in
the capacity of servant, but the boy, says
the Newsdealer, has not since returned.
The parents of the lad did not know
where lie had gone, and learned of his
whereabouts only through his associates.
His parents wero almost frantic with
grief, and naturally censured those who
took him, yet they did not know it was
Wallace, and only ascertained the fact
through a postal card the boy wrote to
a neighbor at home, asking him to see
Wallace and obtain his pay from him
■which he said he was very much in
need of.
Mr. Gallagher, father of the boy,
called on Captain Wallace and wascooly
informed that there was no pay coming
to the boy as he .had left the captain
upon his arrival at Homestead and gone
to Pittsburg. It was not the money Mr.
Gallagher wanted, but knowledge of the
boy's whereabouts and to learn upon
what authority the captain took him
with him. The captain told him lie
knew of the boy, but could give no satis
factory explanation of his having taken
the boy without the consent of his
parents.
Mr. Gallagher was angry, lie said
Captain Wallace had no right to take
the boy with him, and when he did he
assumed the respousiblity of taking care
of him. That he did not do this is evi
denced by the fact that the boy has not
since returned and the captain has
manifested no concern about him. If
the lad does not return in a day or two
Gallagher asserts he will prosecute the
captain to the full extent of the law.
Young: Men Stabbed.
A serious stabbing affray took place
above l'ittston Junction on Monday
night, which may result in the death of
two young men. William Geisler and
Frank Young, of Ashley, Frank Wil
liams, William P. Poust and James
Shipp, of Wilkes-Barre, were coming
down the Lehigh Valley track, the last
three named being ahead and the for
mer two coming behind, playing a har
monica. Three Italians going in the op
posite direction spoke to the last two
young men, who replied. Further
words brought blows, and the Italians
drew knivesand stabbed the young men.
Williams seeing his companions at
tacked ran to their aid and knocked an
Italian down, but while thus engaged
another one attacked him with his knife,
cutting him first in the ear, the knife
penetrating to the base of the brain,
and then again in the side. A number
of railroaders came to their aid and the
Italians ran away and have not been
captured yet. Young isstahbed just be
low the heart and is very low, while
Geisler is not expected to live.

The Republican county convention of
Carbon was held at Mauch Chunk on

SuiKlay Hall Playing,
In a town in the upper end of the
county the constable created much ex
citement by threatening to arrest several
young men who were amusing them
selves and others by playing ball on a
recent Sunday afternoon. The offenders
stopped the game for the officer, and
on the following Sunday they found that
time hung heavily on their hands. They
could not spend the entire day in
churches, but they were anxious to en
jop themselves in some way and pro
j ceeded to do it by indulging in a general
I drunk. Five of them were arrested for
boisterous conduct by the same con
stable, but were allowed to go unpunish
ed, it being their first offense. The les
son, however, made an impression on
the constable, and Sunday games are
unrestricted now.
Postponed Until To-
The liabeus corpus hearing in the case
of Frank DePierro, charged with com
plicity in the Tomhickon murder, was
called in court yesterday. After several
witnesses had been examined Judge
Rice stopped the hearing by asking if
the prosecution had any proof to show
that a murder had been committed. It
seems this very important part of the
case had been overlooked by those who
were anxious to implicate DePierro, and
as nothing was forthcoming to prove
the deed had been done the judge ad
| journed the hearing until Friday morn
ing at 10 o'clock. DePierro's bail was
fixed at SIOOO, the same as before.
Lightning's Freaks.
Yesterday about 12.30 o'clock, when
the lightning was playing its pranks in
this vicinity, it created some excitement
at No. 7 slope, Upper Lehigh, by going
down the mines through an old cavein
that is close to the gangway. Quite a
number of men who were along the
gangway thought their time had come,
as they saw it shooting along the gang
way rails, ripping over joints and crack
ing like pistol shots, and making tilings
lively in general. A number of them
felt tlie shock, but other than that no
damage was done.

escaped, however, with slight injuries.
