which lead the vlcslau to fculrldc the reease of john j corneilison from the county jiil of mount sterling ky last tk recalls the stoiy of one of the most iochine and dramatic tragedies that ever securies in kentucky it is the story of a gid mans sore temptation and fal and it gives a glimpse of a civilization unique and terrible a civilization which touches too two nrtmes and produces the hero and the ruf fian tive years ago richard rsld was uni- veriily regarded as one of the foremost men in kntucky he bad been elected to a imuitr ot political c ffi res and had achieved the crowning ambition ot his life a seat oo the bench of the superior court of the state he had raised himself up by his own efforts 9 he began life as a friendless lad almost any tin in the sate was at his dis potal lor he was not only popular with all e aites but he was respected as well a tt ore charming character than judge riids cannot wall bo imagined all that the wife of col hutchinson pictured that gentle puritan who has come down to us the most aelichtful individuality of bis century could have been truly written of richard rsid ha was handsome courteous refined he was a true christian and yet never by look or word forced bis religion upon any man a teacher of his village sundayschool in mount sterling a devout member of his church he could yet keep a crowd of the roughest mountaineers roaring at his quiet jukes and every child in the lttle town knew the good judge for his friend his polititical opponents had given np trying to beat a man who could win the admiring love of lue best people of the blncgrass and the fiercest mountaineers in blooddrenched rowan and breathitt counties there was one man in mount sterling who bated the good juige with tho venomous hatred of a jealous and rovengefnl nature a burly suhen coarse fellow with the frame of a herculean and the head and face of a bull dog the kind of a mau to stamp on the face of a mien enemy and glory in his bru tality that man was john j corneilison he waited patiently for the proper time to btrike down hia enemy and at last it came a decieioa was rendered by the superior court in a case in which corneilison was involved and in the decision corneilisons character was severely criticised this decis ion corneilison for his own purpose attri buted to judge raid although as ib after wards appeared ib was written by another judge corneilison determined upon a re venge more terrible in that community than burniog at the stake a revenge compared with which death would have been a mercy tho cowhide in kentucky is the emblem of slavery no free man can suffer the de gradations of a cowbiding any more than he can allow his forehead to be branded if he should by any misfortune have such an indig nity put np on him there is one recourse and only one he must kill the man who did it no one know all this better than corneilison and with an ingenuity of cruelty almost devilish he determined to avail himself of his knowledge of this and alto of his know ledge of the character of the judge he know that to raids intensely religious nature the killing of a fdlowtnan was too revolting to be throtight of for a moment he knew that tho judge was not phy sically his equal and ho knew that ho ne per want arinsd in fact itwa3 judge raids boost thit he never carried a deadly weapon in his life j- and so when corneilison one brilliant spring morning walk d into the littp back ctfice whera the gentle judge sit reading his favorite horace and closed the d or behind him he knewa3 thoroughly as a man ever knows anything thac he wonld meet with little opposition in his terrible task with hr usual courtesy judge rsid arose frem his ihair and kindly invited corneilison to be f eated for a moment the bully regarded him in silence perhaps even his brutal heart fulled him and it was not till judge reid had asked him thesocond time that ho answer ed hoarsely ive come to have it out with you in a moment he struck the judge in the feco a cowardly brutal blow a blow that no other man in kentucky could have struck and as his victim reeled and staggered in a dazed helpless way ho drew frcm under his coat a heavy cowhide and laid on the crnel lash again and again a shower of blows each one of which he knew would burn into the very soul of the defense less man like redhot irons judge keid fell on the ground insensible and corneili son with the cowhide in his hand walked down the main street of monnb sterling and boastfully told the horrorstricken people what he had done strange crowd it was farmers from all the ad j lining counties many of them riding a hundred miles were there big boned men from the bloegraaa and wiry sinewy moun taineers from the very spot where he made hia first law speech when a smooth faced stripling years before the judge told bis neighbors and friends all the shameful story of the cowardly attack he told them of his religions convictions of the impossi bility of hts revenging himself upon his enemy of the patient meekness of the saviour under a burden infinitely greater of the awfuinesa of blood guiltiness for bidden alike by the laws of god and of man it wa a great speeob aud considering the audience and the surroundings an ex traordinary speech when he finished the rustling of the branches of trees about the old courthouse could be heard so silent was the crowd and big tears were running down more than one brorzsd face such an oration had never before been delivered by any publio man in kentucky and it pro dnced a profound effect all over the state the people thought that this would put an end to it all and that judge reid wonld go to his court with the respect of every one for his superb moral courage they did not know the man and they did not know the community almost at once judge rid began to feel tbat he was losing his friends men passed him with averted faces the old warmth with whioh young and old had greeted him was gone lifetime friends treated him coldly he learned the bitter lesson that no man can fly in the face of deeprooted publio sentiment night and day he brooded over the assault he would talk of nothing else think of nothing else his wife a beautiful and accomplished woman a member of one of the proudest families in the south did all that a levotes and perfect lovo conld suggest to divert his mind but in vain one morning judge raid after a sleepless night walked down to his offhe locked the door put a pistol to hia head and sent a bullet through his brain he was dead when they found him tne miserable wretch who had blasted bis life was arrested and given the extreme limit for assault three years in jail an unheardof sentence np to that time he tried a score of times to re- verso the sentence and exhausted every technioal point to tecure his freedom once a foolish county justice turned him loose on a writ of habeas corpus but a roar ol in dignation arose all over the state whioh sent him back to his cell mrs
