DICK HALVES HANGED
Killed His Wife and Children
for Another Woman.
Eais Confession on the Ga,Iows-His.
tory of Notable Crime and Its
Horrible Results.

knOEriDsC AcSNstS.
Dick Halves was hanged at Birmingham
Ala for this murder of his wife aud two
children.
The drop fell at 124T o'clock, His neck
was broken and death was easy. The little
jr;-yard was packed to suffocation and many
vino had tickets failed to get in.
Before tho bluck cap was adjusted Halves
spoke briefly He caleb newspaper man,
shook .nds with him and forgaye him for
all false statements against him. He then
handed an Age Herald man written con.
fession and asked that it be published. He
stated that he was guilty and suffered justly,
that whisky aud bad woman had brought
him to this and he warned young men
against following in his footsteps.
DR.. Purser offered prayer. The drop
fell and all was over.
The crime for which Richard A. Halves
paid the penalty with his life, was the muir
der Of his wife and two children, May and
Irene. Ga Tuesday morning. December 4,
1855, the body Of day was found floating in
an artificial lake at Z lst Lake, apleasure re-
sort six miles from Birmingham. 1t was not
identical until the next day. The discovery
led TO still further Investigation ana the res
idenc, OF HIVES WAS visited by several per.
sons, who found the place deserted and ev-
dences that horribls crime had been COM
mitted. Tcere were blood stains on the floor
aul walls. an in corner OF 10 of the
rooms 5loods cub WAS found. On the same
,iay it YVES learned that Halves had bsen
married to Miss May Storey at Columbia,
/ Miss Hs was arrested the same night while
passing through Birmingham on his way to
u orgIa, to spend his honeymoon lie iden-
titled the toIy of his child, but stated that
hs had been divorced from his wife and she
had gone away. The children, he said, had
been placed in the convent at Mobile, and
he was at loss to understand how Mays
body came to be found where it was. The
palpab bic improbability OF such story con-
/ vinced those who heard his statement that
f: he had murdered the rest Of the family. By
direction OF the coroner the lake was drained
and the bodies Of Mrs Halves aud little
Irene, heavily weighted With railroad iron,
were found on the bottom. Tue finding OF
Mrs. h ives corpse inaamed the public
mind to freazr. All efforts of the press
of the city and the county authorities to
! inlay tho excitement were futile. Tho jill
was s.ormed by ten thousand parsons deter
mined to lynch tue murderer, The sheriff
ordered them to halt, but the mob replied
with cries OF derision, and pressed forward.
The order was given to the guard to lire,
and O voley resulted in the killing OF ten
persons and the woupding Of many more.
The spirit OF the mob was broken, and it
never returned TO the attack, contrary to
the expectation OF the authorities, who had
in the mean time telegraphed to the gov
ernor for military assistance. The Il ial Of
Halves began on April %, and lasted eleven
DAYS. The jury resurneda verdict Of guilty.

Rev. S. C. Wright and Miss Viola +.

The initial performance of the "Triumph
of Love- will be given at Grants opera
house, Albuquerque, on the evening OF

1t is estimated that there are iifty-two
insane persons in New Mexico. This
would seem to call for the immediate
erection of suitable quarters for them.

to Deming, where he is to meet about
dozen Indian boys whom he will bring
here and place in school.
According to the census returns New
Mexico ranks 43 in population, being
next below Delaware in point of numbers.
In 1880 New Mexico ranked Al, being at
that time next below Dakota in point OF
population.
Las Vegas amateur talent, under the
direction of Prof. John A. Hand, will pre-

Col. Head returned to Deming on We'd

some LOO head OF cattle for winter

large portions OF kansas-the feeding

is, as high, he having to pay on an aver
age about 40 cents bushel in the shock,
equal to about 60 cents bushel harvest

bushel, the usual price in good years in
that great corn state.
