J.R. Boarman, Esq, OF Anaconda, the
attorney who defended Scott. had an au-
dience with Governor Leslie in behalf Of the
condemned man, the Governor having al
ready received the prisoners statement
some time ago. So far the Governor has
been noncommittal and has not sig
nified any intention OF granting even a
respite. Efforts have been made by some OF
those who knew Scott to have the sentence
commuted to life imprisonment. The gen
eral feeling, however, at the State House is
that Scott will pay the death penalty next
Friday at Deer Lodge, as it is learned from
there to-day that all arrangements have
been made to have the execution take place
at noon, Friday next.
