ment for Life.
CARSON CITY, Dec. 80.
In May last, John Murphy shot and
killed his former companion, John K.
McCallum, on account of a difficulty
occurring a few days before. He was
tried and convicted last August, and
vas to be hanged December 10Th, but
was reprieved at the foot of the gal
lows to allow a jury to test the Ques-
ton of sanity. Yesterday the Board
of Pardons refused to commute his
sentence, which was carried into effect
to-day ct 1915. Murphy was driven
to the soaffold, a mile from town One
thousand people were on the ground,
and much sympathy was expressed.
After the reading of the warrant by the
Sheriff, Murphy spoke to the crowd
asserting his innocence. claiming that
he had not received a fair trial; that
the jury had its mind made up before
hand, exc. lie read extracts from Judge
Edmonds' works on spiritualism. rid
lculed the idea of being a Christian,
said he would sooner die 4 Tom Paine
than harbor the delusive phantom of
i-tit'HN aoput HtIfs ne StleIild-
tized capital punishment as wrong and
the ga!lowS as a hideous feature of
civilization, and a t%rap-door of damna-
ton. lie was then placed on the trap,
babe goodbye to the Sheriff, and the
rope was cut. lie fell six feet, and his
neck was Instantly broken. lie died
in half Il minute. immediately after
the drop, great disorder prevailed,
and the back to town was a gen.
eral stampede. Little sympathy is
now felt, on account of his conduct on
the gallows. Many think he was in
sane. Murphy was a native of Scot
land. 40 years old. He followed the
sea most of his life, until lS49, when he
came to this coast and went in the
mines, shifted about the coast, a good
portion OF his time being spent in the
army. He had some education and
was we'll informed on general topics.
The Board of pardons to-day com.
muted the sentence OF SOmcrS to i'm
pri>onment for life. lie was sen

at Genoa. Some fear hat he may be

THE London correspondent of the
New York Herald says the wretched
shareholders in the Emma silver mine
are to be put out of their misery
much in the same way as was adopted
in the Spanish hospitals of old, when
the nurse put her elbows into the stom-
ach of the dying patient and finished
him off. The Emma is to be 'wound
up" Even in ertremts the directors
of the company made a fight of it, the
Secretary declining to produce the reg
lister OF the shareholders for the salts
faction of tie examiner specially APP
pointed; so the case was brought be-
fore the Vice Chancellor, who made a
positive order in the matter, and we
may look for the final winding up of
the Emma's affairs within a couple of
months, when some extraordinary
disclosures are expected.

HORACE GREELEY's GRAVE. - On
the crest Of Locust Hill. in Greenwood
Cemetery, is the grave of Horace Gree
ley, still unmarked. and apparently
uncared for. There is 10 mound over
it. the line between the new laid sod
and the old only distinguishing il
from the rest of the hill. An iron
stool has been placed at the foot Of the
grave, and a small Fourth of July flag
and the old cane of the great editor
are by it. At the head of the grave
are the remains of withered floral Of
ferings and another faded flag. The
spot is difficult TO find, and the only
information the laborers can give is
that Mr.. Greeley's grave is over blythe
fountain somewhere. If the trifles
that mark it were removed. the exact
spot of the grave would soon be oblit-
Grated.
