' AN EVENTFUL LIFE.
GOVEItNOIl BISHOP, of Ohio, re
cently granted a pardon to a man
known upon the prison book as Illuh
ttrd Koe, but In sot'ltty as James M'C'oy.
The release of this man recalls a history
of crime which Is so full of Interest that
it will bear repeating, and Is related by
the Columbus, Ohio, correspondent' of
the Cincinnati " Times" as follows :
James M'Coy was born In Hoboken, N.
J., where his father, a very respectable
man kepta wellknowu hotel. Young Mo
Coy was a precocious child, and It needed
only association with evil compan
ions to direct that precocity in the line
of crime. After a run through Juvenile
depravity he left home and, joining a
gang of burglars, soon became an adept
in that line.
In the course of his wanderings he lo.
cated temporarily at Cadiz, Ohio, where
he was joined by bis gang. One night
in 1SC0, a night to be long remembered
by the good people of Cadiz, the house
of the cashier of the Bunk of Cadl2 was
entered by four masked men, and the
nfl'ilghted family were roused from a
deep Bleep to find at each of their beds a
masked man, M ho, with a pistol at their
heads, demanded perfect silence. The
cashier seeing that resistance was use
less, lny still and asked their object.only
to be told that he must give up the keys
of the bank vault. The keys were after
some resistance delivered up, and after
binding and gagging the family, the
burglars withdrew, and when daylight
came it was noised around that the
Cadiz Bank had been robbed of a large
sum of money over $100,000.
It is unnecessary to follow the pursuit
and trail of the robbers ; sufilce to say
that four of the five were after a time
captured, and sentenced to the Ohio
Penitentiary for a term of years, and
among them was young M'Coy, then
known as Richard Hoe, who was given
a ten years' term.
After a time all the money but about
140,000 was recovered by the bank, and
it was supposed that the missing money
was that given by the gaug to M'Coy us
his share. One of the gang escaped and
the most persistent efforts of the police
were unable to discover anything of bis
whereabouts.
Early in June 1S(9, nearly three years
after this famous robbery occurred, a dis
tinguished looking gentleman arrived at
the leading hotel there and secured
rooms. He was of elegant appearance,
and was dressed in expensive, but mod
est garments, such as are worn by gen
tlemen of taste. He announced himself
as the American agent of an extensive
English clothing house, which was
about establishing agencies in the fur
west.
The stranger spent money freely,play
ed an occasional game of billiards with
a master hand, drank but little, but al
ways the finest liquors. His agreeable
ways and gentlemanly appearance booh
won him friends among some of the ultra-fashionable
young men of the city,
and to be the friend of the stranger was,
with many, a condition to be envied.
Occasionally, the stranger drove about
the city with a bright-eyed little beauty
whose elegance of appearance and dain
ty garments attracted general attention
among the young men. While the
stranger was agreeable to all his new
friends and was always ready to discount
them in a game of billiards, or break the
seal of the bottle of Slllery, he never in
troduced his female friend, whom he
claimed to be his sister.
The pleasant agent of the English
cloth house and his beautiful sister lived
an easy life here for about three weeks,
and one day went out to drive, ostensi
bly to a neighboring town on business,
aud by a singular coincidence, when the
roll of convicts was called that night,
James M'Coy, alias Blchard Roe, was
found to be missing.
Of course there was a great commo
tion among the prison authorities, and
offers of reward for the apprehension of
the fugitive were wired to all neighbor
ing towns. One detachment of guards
traced the fugitives to Delaware, and
there lost all trace of them.
The next day the team hired by the
stranger was returned here by the livery
stable keeper from Delaware, who stated
that about 2 o'clock that morning he
had been awakened by the calls of a
man asking for the care of a team. Up
on coming to the front of the stable Le
found a carriage drawn by a team of
horses completely covered with foam,
and showing the signs of having been
driven at great speed.
The carriage contained three men and
a very pretty woman, and the leader of
the party, a large, handsome man, had
said that his party had come from Col
umbus on important business and in
tended taking the train for the East,
which left in a few moments. He fur
ther said, the stranger told him where
the team belonged, aud bad given him
money to pay for their use, and ten dol
lars for his own trouble, and to pay for
the return of the team to Columbus.
The story of this man was speedily
communicated to Col. Reymond Burr,
then Warden of the Penitentiary .which
with the knowledge he had upon the
subject, satisfied him that the Delaware
party was one he was specially Interest
ed in. When the young men about
town learned that their handsome friend
was charged with assisting in the escape
of the convict Roe, they were at first
Indignant that any one should charge
such a perfect gentleman with being the
friend of a burglar, but after a time they
saw the matter in a new light, aud were
wisely silent as to their acquaintance
with the man.
Whot especially troubled the prison
authorities was to learn who was the
third mau who had been seen in the
carriage at Delaware, but it was after
ward found that a young man named
Frank Hatch, a sou of a foreman of one
of the prison shops, was missing, and
in time it was discovered to a certainty
that he was the third man in the car
riage. l!y a system best known to those who
have dealings with criminals, the plun
of the escape 'came to the knowledge of
the prison authorities. It appears that
the bandsnme stranger, the supposed
agent of the English cloth house, was
the burglar who had assisted In the rob
bery of the Cadiz Bank, and had escap
ed capture. After his escape he went
East, and mixed in various criminal
matters, but feeling the need of the
shrewd head of his pal, M'Coy, conceiv
ed the plan of assisting In his escape.
To find an instrument to assist him in
his plans was his first object, and in
some way fastened upon young Hatch.
Frank Hatch was of a good Yankee
stock, aud came with his father's fami
ly to this city perhaps twenty years ago.
He was a bright, good-looking young
fellow, and when he first came here was
a boy of great promise. His father's
appointment as foreman of one of the
prison shops also gave Frank employ
ment aud the ruu of the prison. As
Hatch grew to manhood he became wild
and somewhat reckless, and was never
quite so happy as when in the company
of depraved women. This weakness
the stranger was not long in discovering
and as soon as possible a beautiful fallen
woman was brought here from the East,
and introduced to Hatch as the sister of
the stranger.
The bait took well, and very soon
Hatch was completely under control of
the frail one. By eusy stages the sub
ject of escape of a convict was mention
ed to Hatch, but he, knowing that to as
sist in such an escapade meant impris
onment for himself, at first refused to be
a party to it. Then the dark eyes of the
woman and her winning wayB were ex
erted to the full, aud young Hatch con
sented to think over the mutter, and
was happy with the woman his des
troyer. Finding him pliable the stranger cap
ped the climax by ottering Hatch $7,000
in nioncy if he succeeded iu deliveriug
M'Coy, alias Roe, safely outside the
walls of the prison, and safe conduct for
himself and the woman to New York
city. This settled the business, and
Hatch at once communicated with
M'Coy.
At 0 o'clock that evening a wagon be
longing to one of the prison contractors
was about leaving the prison yard with
a load of merchandise, when the driver
was accosted by Hatch, and requested to
add a barrel to his load. " What ye got
there, Frauk V" askd the driver.
" Nothing but a barrel of shavings,
Tom," was the response, and in a trice
the barrel and its contents were lifted on
the wagon and Hatch seated safely on
top of it.
When opposite a large field of corn,
Hatch lifted the barrel off the wagon,
thanking the driver for his kindness,
and went his way. Once in the corn
field, the barrel head was kicked in, and
out stepped James M'Coy, clad in his
prison suit. A shrill whistle soon
brought up a currlage containing the
stranger and the handsome woman, and
after giving M'Coy time to array him
self in a fashionable suit of clothes, the
party all entered the carriage aud drove
at breakneck speed to Delaware, from
whence they took the train direct for
New York.
The conduct of Hatch nearly broke
his father's heart, and brought sorrow
upon the whole family ; but after a time
his name was not mentioned in the
family, and he was looked upon as one
dead to them.
As near as can be learned, M'Coy be
came a wanderer from place' to place,
even going as far west as California.
The prison authorities repeatedly got on
his track, but he was always sufficiently
shrewd to match cunning with cun
ning. Nearly three years after the escape,
one of the prison authorities, while vis
iting the Cherry Hill Prison of Phila
delphia, was attracted by the appearance
of one of the convicts there confined
for participating in burglary of a Phil
adelphia bank, and upon further exam
ination, he proved lo tie M'Coy, late of
the Ohio stronghold.
As soon as M'Coy's term in the Cher
ry Hill Prison expired, he was claimed
by the Ohio authorities, and returned
here to serve out his unexpired term of
nearly seven years. He was only fairly
back In the Ohio Prison when his fami
ly which had In the mean time remov
ed to Troy, N. Y. begau to beg for his
pardon.
Oov. Noyes, Allen and Hayes were
repeatedly applied to, but refused to ex
tend executive clemeucyi Then a vigor
ous campaign was commenced upon
Gov. Tom Young in M'Coy's behalf.the
beautiful sister of the convict being the
suppliant. When the State House at
tachees learned of the business of the
handsome woman with the large black
eyos, they, as a unit, declared big-hearted
Governor Tom could never Bland the
pleading of such a woman j but Oov.
Tom disappointed them all by very
firmly refusing to give freedom to the
bank robber. In vain the Woman plead
ed and wrung her white fingers, glisten
ing with jewels, for Governor Tom had
made up his mind that the man did not
deserve pardon, and handsome faces and
tear bedlmmed eyes could not change
ills decision for a moment.
Some time ago the old father of Mc
Coy died leaving a handsome fortune.
With business to settle up, and no male
member of the family In a condition to
assist, the heart of the mother and sis
ter went out to the eldest son and bro
ther, then an inmate of a felon's cell.
The sister came again to Ohio, and
after a vigorous campaign succeeded In
inducing Judge Mcllvaine who sentenc
ed the prisoner to recommend his pardon
on the ground that his sentence often
years was a long one, and that his term
of seven years had probably punished
his olTence.
Gov. Bishop granted the pardon upon
condition that M'Coy should ' never re
turn to Ohio. The sister and brother
left for their Eastern home, where lux
ury aud freedom awaited the man who
for so many years had known nothing
better than the confinement and meagre
diet of a prison.
What became of young Hatch will
probably be asked by many who read
this story. Well, the burglars took him
to New York, as they promised, where,
after a season of riotous living the hand
some women who had lured him to de
struction, did just what women of her
class alway do when the purse is empty
lift him for a richer friend. The burg
lars found him In their way, and rather
expensive to keep as a pet, so they no,
they did not kill him, but instead, tbey
put him where he might be useful bad
him appointed a member of the New
York police force, which place he held
for sometime. As near as can be learn
ed, he died of consumption several years
ago, his disease being brought about by
his mode of life.
The Young Lady From Boston.
AMONG the city visitors who are
spending the season in our place, is
a Boston gentleman and his daughter,
a highly cultured young lady of twenty,
with refined manners, msthetio tastes
and eye glasses. At the boardiny house
table, one day last week, young Mr.
Sampson, who is clerk in a dry goods
store, observed, as he waited lor his
dessert:
" Did you see that tall book agent in
town to-day V"
It being very warm, nobody vouch
safed a reply, but young Mr. Sampson,
not at all disconcerted by the outburst
of silence, continued :
" He was in the store this morning, to
show me his book medical work, or
'lustrated bible, or something of that
sort. It was right hot, and I was sitting
on the counter, kinder thinking like,
when in he comes, takes off his coat
and pants"
Here Mr. Sampson was interrupted by
the smashing of a plate, which had
fallen violently to the floor, beside the
young lady from Boston. After the
hired girl had removed the broken
pieces, aud the confusion had subsided,
Mr. Sampson resumed his narrative,
without noticing the agonized expres
sion on the Boston young lady's face.
"As I was saying he comes puffing
into the store, sets bis valise down with
a bang, takes off his coat and pants
ii
" Oh I" screamed the young lady from
Boston, in an awful voice, that cracked
the soup-tureen from Alpha to Omega,
and fairly made the hair of the bachelor
boarder's wig stand on end. And then
as Mr. Sampson opened his mouth as if
to continue his story, she fell under the
table in a stony faint, and was borne
to her room in a state of rigid insensi
bility. After quiet had been restored, and
everybody hud silently said nothing for
some moments, young Mr. Sampson
remarked in a very soft and gentle
voice, as he waited for his second piece
of pie:
He comes into the store, you know,
aud he takes of bis ooat, and pants like
a dog, and says, 1 Is this hot enough for
you !""
SUNDAY SEADIN3,
Predestination.
An old-time Baptist preacher of thli
city, who lias retired from active Gospel
dealing, but who still keeps a firm eye
on the faith, has just had a little experi
ence with a colored man that cause
him to tbluk very seriously. .Meeting
the oolored man the old preacher said :
" Dave, if you don't bring that saddle
home I'll have you put to Jail." . ,
" What saddle is yer 'furren ter V"
" The one you stole from me."
" Parson, 'foie de Lord, I nebber stoic
yer saddle."
Yes, you did. I saw you when you
took it otr the yard fence. I believe I'll
have you arrested anyway."
" Look here, parson, you'se a old Bap
tls Isn't yer V"
"Yes and I'll have you sent to the
penitentiary."
" Well, so is I, an' now, ketch do
pints ez I gin 'em to yer. Dar Is Jes so
many saddles iu dis worl' what is ter lie .
stole, and dar's Jes so many men what
is ter steal dese saddles. Dls is predes

"I don't want a religious discussion,.

" Well, den parson, 'sposel take back

" A He once told always stands. You

. DOXOLOGIES.
Dr. E. M. Hatfield sends a letter to the
New York " Observer," ' containing
some information as to the doxologies
most commonly used. The Long Metre
Doxology, now sung every Sunday, all
over the English-speaking world, in ten
thousand churches or more :
" Praise God from whom all blessing
flow,"!:.,
was written by Bishop Thomas Keer, of
the Church of England, and published
in 1097. The other popular Long Metre
Doxology which still retains its place
among the orthodox as a tribute of praise
to the Trinity :
" To God the Father, God the Bon," AC,
was written by the Rev. Dr. Isauc
Watts, and was published in 1707, ten -years
later. Watts wrote also and pub
lished at the same date, the Common
Metre Doxology, in common use every
where '
Jt God-the Father, and the Bon," Ac.
The only other Common Metre Doxolo
gy that rival's it .
" To Falter, Sod and Holy Ghost," Ac.
was published, in 1090, by Tate & Brady
and was written by one of them, proba
bly Tate. The Short Metre Doxology
most generally used In our churches
" Ye angels round the throne," &c,
was written by Dr. Watts, and date
from 1707. John Wesley, in 1739, gave
to the churches an excellent Short Metr,
Doxology, much used by the Methodist
Episcopal churches :
" To God the Father, Bon
And Spirit One in Tbree,
Be glory, as It was, U now
And shall forever be."
Charles Wesley, 1739, wrote a useful
Doxology :
" Sing we, to oar God above,
Praise eternal as his love
Praise hint all ye Heavenly Hoet t
Father, Boa and Holy Ghost."
CigrDuty Itself is supreme delight
when love is the inducement and labor.
By such a principle the ignorant are en
lightnened, the hard-hearted softened,
the disobedient reformed nnd the faith
ful encouraged.
(IT To commit the execution of a pur
pose to one who disapproves of the platt
of it, is to employ but one-third of th
