I ventured to the door of tho shacland knocked says Robertson andthere was a feeble come In All wasdarkness Inside and thero was no signof a fire I caught sight of a bit otcandle which I lighted and then ad ¬

vanced to whero a man layWith a feeble effort ho turned and

stared at me for a full minute Thenhe said Are you an officer NoI said I am a miner and If there Isanything I can do for you I want todo It I soon had a fire going andagain approached the bed The manshair was white as snow his face hada livid color In It that looked likedeath and bo had the most terrifiedand hopeless expression I have everseen on a human being

Im Going Where I BelongPartner ho said finally rolllna

over on his side and little more thanwhispering Im leaving a world thatI did not appreciate Im going towhere I belong

He lapsed Into silence again andwhat I thought was a sleep came overhim Two hours passed and he sud ¬

denly wakened with a shriek and thensank back In bed In a few minuteshe gavo another wild scream andstraightened up In bed Then In avoice you would think came from a

I good strong man he saidi See here boys my name Is Toe

cott Im Tascott Do you understandIm Tascott that theyve been huntinglike a wolf for years I can not runany more Im getting paid for what Idid I know Im dying and I knowwhere Ill go Tell the boys whenthey como back that I am Tascott andyou can tell the world too for thoworld has hunted me a long time

About 3 in the morning I heard anoise like a man expelling all the airIfrom his lungs I rushed over to thebed and felt the mans pulse and heartHe was dead

I have never told about this untilnow but that dead man asked me tomake his story public and so I do soI solemnly believe that he was tortur ¬

ed to death by thinking of his own lifsand tho belief that ho was always theobject ot pursuit and I assuredly bOoIlieve he told the truth in saying heIwas Tascott

Story of the CrimeChicago June 1Amos J SnoH

Heavy rewardsone for 10000swhich was subsoquenUy raised000 were offered for Tascott and fortwo or throe years Tascott was turnIng up dead or alive in all puts ofNorth and South America

Eventually Mrs Snell withdrew thereward for Tascott quarrels civil finiteand other scandals followed amongmembers of the family and today thoSnell millions are supposed to havobeen dissipated in part and passed InJto other hands
