Wash Petty.

From the Nevada Democrat.
The above name IS familiar t.
many of the oldest ani best citizen
of Vernon county. Wash Petty, a
the breaking out of the late war, wa
living quiet and peaceable life IL
Greenewood county. Kansas, where
as we'll as here in Vernon, and Bar
ton county. he had large circle o
friends. While there his wife died
and being foot loose. as it were, he
made up his mind to join the Con
tederate army and set to work ar
ranging his business affairs to thai
end. The last thing he done before
quitting his home was to erect nice
tombstone over the grave OF his wife.
In the meantime he had in some way
incurred the i'll will of a neighbor
| named Clark, but as he was about
leaving home he had no reason to
| apprehend any further difficulty
growing out of the matter. Some
time after he had gone into the ar
my, however, he received word from
Clark that he (Clark) had destroyed
the tombstone over his wife's grave,
ard the reasons why he had done it.
Not long afterwards three men rode
up to Clark's house one day and
called for him. On gong to his
door to see what was wanted, he was
fired upon and killed. Mrs. Clark,
who went to the assistance of her
husband, saw the men as they rode
off and declared that she recognized
one of them as Wash Petty, but al
forwards told some of the neighbors
that she did not recognize any OF
of them. AT the close of the
war Petty married again (this
time in Arkansas) and shortly after
wards removed to Texas Then it
was that detective was put upon
his track, and in 1873 he was caught
and taken back to Greenwood coun-
ty, Kansas and tried for the murder
of Clark. The suspicious circum-
stances, and the fact that there was
a strong prejudice existing in Kan
sas at that time against any one who
hap been in the Confederate army,
rendered his conviction an easy mat
ter, and he was accordingly sen
fenced to be hung. Under the laws
of Kansas, however, a man convict
ed of murder in the first degree is
not executed until he has fist served
one year III her states prison, and in
case the sentence is not executed du-
ring the year, then he remains prs
oncr tor llfe. For some reason the
year of Mr.. Petty's imprisonment
expired and nothing was done, thus
leaving him Il prisoner for life. In
the meantime his friends here and IN
Texas had been informed of his un-
fortunate condition and were busy
trying to raise menev to secure him
a new trial and if possible get hlm
released. A paper was circulated
by his friends here and money sub
scrihed to defray the attsrney's fees.
Three wears ago A. A. Harris, of
FIT. Scott. was employed to investi-
gate the case and see If anything
could be done, Mr.. Harris agreeing
to charge nothing whatever save his
actual expenses in the case. Just
how we'll Gen. Harris managed the
case can be teld in a very few words.
Wash Petty was last week pardoned
out of the Kansas penitentiary by
Gov. Click, and to-day is a free
man. So much tor good and true
friends, a l'rainev LAWYER. a Just
cause and Democratic Governor.
