"A CoNvIcTIoN.-Frank Schmidt, the
murderer OF Hiram Foulks has been
convicted at Independence Of murder
in the first degree. The penalty pro-
vided is death by hanging, the vic
tim to be executed within the peniten-
tiary walls, after years confinement.
II is however optional with the
governor whether he ever issues the
death warrant or not, and thus far in
the history Of that state we believe it
has never been done. Thus imprison-
ment for life with q possibility of
execution results. Schmidt is the
German captured some time ago at
ohouteau by Bud weyburn and q
companion. He is evidently very ig-
norant for Rainwater, a fellow prisoner
who was caught near here last week
says that when the subject OF escape
was brought up Schmidt said he would
not help to make \ hole in the wall
but would crawl out. In spite of the
impossibility Of escaping conviction n
Of murder he dared not risk proseeu-
tion for Jail breaking. Y

MoRR MURDKRERs TO HAEo.-Two
more doomed men were added last
Friday TO the list OF those convicted
Of murder at Fort Smith. Both were
ChickasAws, William and My.Man
Hamilton by name. Andrew Colbert
was the victim and from all evidence
there seemed no reason whatever for
the murder. Five murderers are now
awaiting the gallows and twenty-three
are to be tried. Only few days pre-
vious Robson Kemp also a Obicka-
saw, was convicted on a like charge.
He was tried with Edmond jefferson
but the latter secured an acquittal.
Briefly stated the facts of the killing
were as follows; The victim Was Henry
Rich, q white ma and postmaster at
Fort Washita, Chickasaw nation. Mr..
Rich was in the habit Of driving 10
Oaddo, the nearest railway station,
every afternoon, for the mail. These
two Chickasaws, Kemp and Jefferson,
were his avowed enemies and had de-
clared their intention OF killing Rich
which caused him to 20 about armed.
Unfortunately he neglected this pre-
caution on the evening of the murder.
and while passing through the BOis
D'Arc bottom he was assassinsted.
After the shooting he lived twenty
four hours, and on being questioned
said no saw Jefferson and Kemp
coming toward HIM while on his way.
No proof could be found sufficient %
warrant the arest Of anyone until
about year after Rich's death. JEFF
ferson aud a friend were out hunting
when Jefferson said "This is the
place where Rich was killed and what
is more l killed him."
