Republic from Butte, Montana, says
Harry Roberts was hanged today for the
murder of j. W. Crawford. The drop

broken by the fall. Strong pressure was
brought to bear by Grand Army
men and number of citizens to
have the sentence commuted to
life imprisonment, and it was not until
s AS this morning that the condemned
man abandoned all hope Of pardon.
When the Sheriff read the message from
Governor White refusing to interfere
with the laws decree, Roberts did not
weaken in the least. He died as he had
lived, a cool and determined man.
Roberts crime was the unprovoked kill
ing OF Crawford on May 14th last. Craw.
ford was teamster under Roberts and
| they had quarrel and Roberts shot him
while drinking.
A somewhat dramatic incident was
| connected with the burial of Crawford
