HAPPINESS IN HANGING.
Alice Mitchell Evinces No Liking
for Life

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Feb. 5.-Miss Alice
Mitchell, the slayer of Freda Ward,
when informed by her lawyers that she
would escape the galIows. became
frantic and said that she looked forward
to the day when she should be hanged
as the happiest of all, as beyond the
gallows she would once more meet
Freda Ward. She became terribly
respondent, and fears are entertained
that she will commit suicide. Last
night she was watched in her cell by
one of her relatives.
The cases in the criminal court this
morning included the formal presenta-
tiOn of the plea of ''preSent insanity"
in the case of Alice Mitchell, which was
entered by her counsel on her arraign-
ment last Monday. II is as follows:
Comes the defendant, Alice Mitchell,
by her attorney and for plea says that
she is not of sound mind, but
insane. and therefore ought not to be
tried on the charge of murder con-
tanned in the Indictment: and this, her
plea of present insanity, she prays may
be inquired Into and tried in accordance
with the statutes in such cases."
The inquisition of lunacy will follow
as matter of course unless the defend
ants counsel concludes to withdraw,
which is not at all probable. 1t will be
begun as soon as they can get together.
the testimony they wish to Introduce.
The court will probably be asked for an
order to take dispositions of experts at
distance, which will consume consider
able time, SO that the inquiry will not
be inaugurated for ten days yet.

Leading Citizens Opposed to
Statehood at Present.
SALT LAKE, Feb. 4.-The Liberal
territorial convention, Just held here,
comprised upwards of 800 leading cit.
liens from several counties OF Utan.
The convention adopted a memorial to
congress against the passage of Teller's
statehood bill or Faulkner's quasi-state-
hood bill, setting forth that the territory
is settled by people who know, nothing
OF American politics and have never
learned to appreciate or conduct free
institutions; refers to the progress
made under the Liberal party, but saws
it is not yet sufficient to Justify tarn-
ing over complete control to those. who
so long have been hostile, and are vet

ways.
1t also calls attention to reasonable
doubt of the sincerity of the Mormons
IN their present professions of party di-
visions and rejection of polygamy;
represents that the territory is prosper
Gus under the present status, and asks
time for the changes now going on
to become crystalliZed and irreversiDle
before statehood, that once granted
cannot be Withdrawn, is conferred upon
Utah.

LINCOLN, Neb., Feb. 5.-Gov. Thayer
has at last made public his intentions.
Tonight he called together the CORE
spondents and gave them the following
statement: I'm regard to the governor
ship. L will say that my attorneys are
waiting to get the full text of the de-
cision of the supreme court at Wash
ington. AS yet they do not know what
it does really contain, because of tile
conflicting reports. If any one supposes
that / am holding on the Office of gov
ernor for the sake of Office, or that l
have the slightest desire TO do so, that
person is most woefully mistaken. am
anxious to surrender the office; but ]
do not propose to act precipitatelY and
without full knowledge of what the de-
cision really does mean.
ct he clerk of the United States su-
prelle court wired Mr.. Webster that
the decision of the supreme court of
Nebraska was reversed, and the case
was remanded for further proceedings.
The fact that the case is remanded for
further proceedings certainly means
that something. further is to be done
1t seems now that only four Judges sus-
tain the position that the enabling act
made Governor Boyd citizen; that is
minority opinion.
The Old Man Hedges.
''There is another feature to this case.
The query arises, am justified in turn
ing the Office over to Mr.. Boyd? The
question is as to my right to turn over
the Office TO any person until the deciS-
ion of the Nebraska supreme court
placing me in the Office of governor is
reversed by the same court, because,
as quoted above, the supreme court re-
mands the case here for reversal of
its judgment and further proceedings.
1t is the opinion of the best legal lights
here that have no right to thus dis
pose of this Office. This is not a per-
sOnal matter between myself and Coy.
Boyd. l am holding the Office in behalf
of the people of Nebraska aud not for
myself. - s
81 will leave Monday for Texas,
where there are important interests
awaiting my attention. | wouldsnot
give up this Texas enterprise if l could
have the governorship of Nebraska as
sured to me for all time, as much as
prize the honor of this position. On
Monday shall turn the office over to
Lieut.. Gov. Majors. II he sees fit to
recognize Boyd he can do so. 1 have
discharged my duty, and now you
know just how matters stand"
Lieut.. Gov. Majors is at present in
the city, but he and the governor unite
in declaring pure buncombe the report
that the lieutenant governor contem-
plated calling special session of the

KILLED BY AN OPIATE.
"A Polish Child Dies from an Over.
dose of Medicine.

WINoNA. Feb. 5.-The infant child of
Joseph Pashelka, a resident of this city,
has been killed by having an overdose of
an opiate given to it. The medicine
was intended for soothing and quieting,
and was mixed according to a prescrip-
ton written for the child's grandmother
ten years ago. The child being restless
was given dose equivalent to half of
that taken by an adult, and as it was
only two months old it went to sleep
never to wake again. The father blames
the druggist for putting up a wrong
prescription, but the physician who
wrote the prescription holds the drug
gist blameless, and says the medicine
should never have been given the child
without orders from physician.
