shot the Wrong Man-SnOw Block
AIDE Rsised.
PORTLAND, Ogn., Jan. John W.Mur-
ray was sentenced to-day to be hung Feb
ruary 10. The crime was assassinating his
bro~ther-in-law, Alfred Jenke, aged q, just
q year ago to-day. Murray's wife, Jenke's
sister, had separated from him on account
of his dissolute habits and jealousy. On
the night Of the murder she attended a
ball, and Murray, thinking she would be
escorted home by q man whom he hated,
lay in wait behind a fence with a double
barreled shotgun. 1t was q matter OF
chance that Jenke walked home with his
sister, and received . fatal shot, intended
for someone else. Jenke was q most excel
lent young man, and an intimate friend OF
his slayer, whose remorse since the deed,
has been terrible. The case has been
through the Supreme Court, and there Is
no hope for Murray, except executive
clemency, which will, no doubt, be with
held, as none Of the jurors will sign q petit
ton for q Communication from the sentence to
imprisonment Tor lie.
