The Details of the Occurreuge-A Letter
From Snowden,
The Details of the Occurreunge-A Letter
From Snowden,
The correspondent of the New York Sun
telegraphs to that paper from Washington,
Penu., the following account of the lams
case as given by an eye-witness of the oc
currence:
“Adjutant Sheldon B. Hayes, of the Tenth
regiment, who was present at the punish
ment of Private W. L. Iams for calling on
the soldiers of the regiment to cheer for the
man who shot Chairman H. C. Frick, of the
Carnegie Compsny, has returned to his
home in this place. He gives the following
details of the occurrence, from which it
will be seen the punishment of lams has
been grossly exaggerated:
“Adjutant Hayes began by quoting the
soldiers’ oath to defend the Constitution of
the United States and the Stats ot Pennsyl.
vania, and that he would not give aid or
comfort to the enemies of either. The
strikers at Homestead, he contended, had
assumed the powers of government, and any
utterances of sympathy for them bg the
guard was treason and perjury. [ams’ self.
confessed act, he said, stamped him as a
traitor and a perjurer. Iams was ordered to
be tied up by the thumbs under the direc.
tion of Major-Surgeon Neff and Drs. Ullom
and Grin. The order from Colonel Streator
was that he be made to suffer, but that no
physical injury be dene him. Ad.
jutant Hayes, who stood by all the time,
says that lams was tied up, but was not
lifted from the ground. He was able at any
time. so loosely was he suspended, to have
borne his full weight upon the ground, Hae,
however, shifted his weight from one foot
to the other, and the punishment simply
consisted of the culprit’s having to keep his
arms suspended. After being strung up he
asked one of the surgeons for a chew of to.
bacco, which request was granted, and at
the end of nineteen minutes, when released,
{ams said:
“I wish I had not swallowed that tobacco
juice; it has made me sick.”
Adjutant Hayes says that at no time was
Jams unconscious, On Sunday morning
Adjutant Hayes read all the communications
in regard to the matter to the brigade on
dress parade, Colonel Hawkins’ general
orders defining the acts of perjury and trea
sou and the penalty therefor wers also read.
He eays no trial was necessary, because
[ams had confessed. Had he denied the
charge he would have been court-martialed.
General Snowden has written to the New
York Herald, under date of July 27th: "In
view of your leader of the 2th instant I
write to say that Private lama was sus.
pended by the thumbs without my know.
ledge or concurrence. I have had no ocoea
sion officially to express approval or disap
proval of it, and 1 bave not dons so.
**A report of the circumstances after thev
occurred was made to me and was asked
what disposition should be made of the
man, when I ordered: ‘Discharge him from
the service in disgrace: drums him out of
camp and send him home.’
“You will observe that the manner of
sending him off, outside of drumming him
out, is not prescribed. have authority
summarily to discharge enlisted men, but
no disqualification follows.
“Sober minded people will remember that
the punishment inflicted was in the face of
revolution, treason and anarchy,
Very respecttully,
“Gerona KR. Sowpgx,"
"Homestead, Pao., July 27, 1892.”
A telegram to the Herald from Pittsburg,
July 29th, throws the following light on the
legal aspects of the case:
‘he attorney for William IL. Iams, in his
action against Colonel; Streator, struck a
snag to.day in a section of the statutes of
Pennsylvania relating to the National
Guard, The section reads;
“No eivil process shall issues or be en
forced i any person mustered into
the service of this State or of the nited
States during the Jer for which Ry abal
engagsd in such service, nor un
days stter he shall have been discharged
therefrom.”
The attorneys in the Iams case say they
will at all events wait until thirty days
after Lieutenant-Colonel Streator takes off
his uniform, although they say the effet of
that section of the act on its face naturally
protects him during bis entire time of ser.
vice five years, attorneys say the ac
is unconstitutional as well as infamous.

THR OLD MAN TOOK HIS TEXT,
After the usual preliminary services the
old man took his text. Song of Solomon
on song of songs, 2d chapter and 1.th verse
and latter clause of thesame, "And the voice
of the turtle is heard in our land.” Let rue
pause to say such preachers had, like Ura.
tor Puff, two distinet voices, and also twe
putitely different styles: the one earnest,
excited, hortatory, in which the voice was
pitched on an alto key and with an alter.
uate rising and fading intlection, “in
many a note of linked sweetness long drawn
out,” the discourse was rather sung than
said ina peculiar toue, which sowe of the
irreverent named a holy whine,
To a student of eloeution the finest thing
in the whole performance was what wa
named the drop artistic, when from the
attitude of this not usmusical chant, the
voice suddenly dropped to the low tone of
ordinary conversation. But invariably by
the help of many obh’s, ah’s and avas, it
would again rise to the normal sig-song,
and with painful iteration repeat its mela.
choly monotone,
On some occasions the preacher wouid as.
sume a look, tone and gesture eminently
argumentative and sternly logical. Thea
you might look out for any conceivable ab.
surdity. Such was the case on this occa.
gion. The old man informed his audience
that the passage of Scripture to which he
desired to call their attention had long been
vo him difficult of interpretation and hard
to be understood; but stter much thought,
prayer and ‘'a consuitin’ of common-taters”
1t seemed to become clearer to himself, and
by the divine aid he hoped to make itso

VICE OF TAUTOLOGY.
The vice of tautology and repetition, then
common, but. take for granted, gow en.
tirely banished from the pulpits of all de.
nominations, greatly afflicted the more 1m.
patient hearers of this good old man. “My
brethren n’ sisters, why does the text
have just read from the pages of Hely Writ
in your hearin’ speak of the voice of the
turtle, when we all know that the turtle is
a silent and dumb animal, and moreover,
why do the Scriptures say that its voice is
heard in our land, when we all know by ex.
perience and observation that the turtle is
not only a dumb, but also a wafer animal?
How, then, oan its voice be heard in our
land? After a reflectin’ and a revolvin’ of
this subject in my mind, and observin’ of
the ways n’ habits of the turtle, I ay n’
perceived that in far sad ny
weather, it were the usual n’ habitual cus.
tom of this animal or creature to sun hisself
on some rock or log, accordin’ to his natur’.
And oh my brethren n’ sisters, how like
upto him isthe poor, deluded sinner. Ah!
who in the day of health n' prosperity is a
sunnin’ of hisself accordin' to his wicked
patur’ on the log of carual security, arrah!”
DOGMA OF IMMERSION.
At that time, and with such preachers as
T am trying to describe, by a law as certain
as that which holds the planets in their
laces, they were bound to gravitate to the
Pdementsl dogmas of immersion, aud thus
Le made a practical application of the sub.
ject:
“Now bshold n' contemplate this dumb
water animal a’sunnin’ hisself accordin’ to
his natur. If peradventure he suddenly hears
some noise which startles n’ terrifies him, he
at once plunges for safety into the water
kejum—so this sound, or voice we may
say. tho' made in the water 1s heard in the
land, apd so our text is interpreted n’ ex
plained, and the voice of the turtle is heard
in ur land, and so the poor sinner terrified
