HANGED WITHOUT WARRANT.
A Sheriff Executed Sentence on the
Authority of a Newspaper
Report.
From the Sacramento Bee.1

from the Sacramento Bee-1
In the olden time in Plumas county a
man was arrested for murder, tried and
convicted and sentenced to be hanged.
The case was taken to the supreme
cour on appeal. Finally a decision was
filed affirming the judgment of the
court below, and directing that the de-
tendant be resentenced to death.
In those days the Sacramento Union
was about the only paper circulating in
that remote county, and what ever ap-
peared in its columns was taken as
being undoubtedly the fact. The number
containing the supreme court decision
arrived at the county seat, and the sheriff
saw it, and concluded that the matter
was settled finally. So walking into the
Jail he addressed the defender with,
"'Well, the supreme court has affirmed
the Judgment in your case it's printed
in the Sacramento Union"
els it?" said the prisoner; CHATS
rough, but 1 guess Pn have to stand it"
"Well, said the sheriff, shave gott to
hang you; you have been in here a good
while, an expense to the county, and
the o the thing is over the better"
"There is no use being in a hurry"
said the prisoner; ''giye a fellow a
chance to get ready"
allow will the first of next week suit
you.,?" asked the Sheriff.
sob. what's the use of all that hurry;
call it the last of the week."
"Well, we will split the difference and
call it Wednesday afternoon" said the
officer.
This was acquiesced in by the party in
interest. and at the appointed time he
was taken out and hanged.
AT the opening of the district court at
the following term, Judge r. H.. Taylor,
now of Virginia City, who was then on
the bench, inquired of the clerk if the
remittitur had been sent down. and be-
ing advised in the affirmative, said: II
guess we had better have the prisoner
brought up this morning and %resenten-
ced. He was rather surprised when the
sheriff i%nnocently informed him that the
law had already been fully satisfied, and
that the criminal had been sent before a
court whence there could be no appeal.
