THE SYMONDO EXECUTION.
Why inquiries Concerning That Event
Have Been Made.
He Left q Life Insurance Policy on
Which the Holder Now De-
sires to Realize.

On Saturday the RECORD UNION pub
lished the facts relativeto the execution
of George Nelson Symonds in this
city in 1863, concerning which inquiry
had been made of the Attorney General
The American Legion Of Honor JonfedG
now comes to hand with the following.
which explains why the inquiry was
made:
''In 1851 young man named George
SymoDds left Templeton, Mass, for Cali
fornia. Previous to his departure he bor-
rowed money from friend, and gave as
security policy Of insurance OF his life.
After two years residence III California
ne was arrested, speedily tried, convicted,
and publicly hanged for brutally MUIR
dering pack peddler. The insurance
policy which he gave for security mad
clause in it declaring that if the one on
whose life the policy was drawn should
come to his death by public execution ac-
cording to the forms OF law, the pollcy
would be null and void.
"Recently the holder of the policy,
which by the way had never been de-
stroyed, received the news that Symonds
died an innocent man, and that ms
friends in Tenpleton had received an
authenticated report of a death-b bed con-
tession of a man who sWore that he, and
not Symonds, murdered the peddler.
The courts Will now Ue asked to compel
the insurance company TO pay the prlncl-
pal OF the policy, with interest from the
time it had knowledge Of Symonds'
death. The case is without precedent in
the annals of insurance litigation III this
country"
AS Symonds was regularly convicted
and executed for the crime charged
upon him, it is difficult to under
stand how a confession since made
by another that it was he, and not Sy-
monds, who committed the murder,
could have the effect of giving life to the
insurance policy, unless the company
that issued it should see i'll to disregard the
hanging. There appears to be no way
tor the court to vindicate Symonds.
The only person who could have con-
fessed to the killing of Russell at Ben
sons Ferry, in 1850, was Crozier, Sy-
monds' companion, who escaped from
jail here shortly alter the pair were ar
rested.

cold air generates the frost, and the
warmer air prevents it. This is the open
secret Of the thermal belt as it exists IN
California. 1t is limited in extent COM
pared with the whole State, although
comprising many thousands OF acres. III

citrus growth
The advancement of the region about
here was much stimulated by the turn
ing of water down here few years ago
by the formation of tie Placer County
Citrus Colony, which arranged with Mr..
Birdsall for the building of many miles
OF bitches connecting with the Bear
River system, and which bitches have
since been acquired and supplied by the
South uba Water Company, the latter
company having practically ineXhaust-
lble supply, and which is the essential
life OF successful early fruit growing. By
the enterprise of Mr.. Whitney, who was
instrumental in obtaining the water sup
ply, large number of English colonists
were induced to settle about here, colo
nists OF superior class and possessing
means, who have invested many hum
dreds of thousands of dollars in planting
out orchards, and who have built de-
slrable and superior class of houses and
have in many ways advanced the dis
trict, and it is doubtful if any other SINH
lar fruit region has shown the progress
which has occurred here during the past
three years.
y County Horticultural Society has re-
Gently been organized here, which meets
weekly to discuss and consider matters
interesting to the fruit growers and alto
gether lower Placer County IS, despite
the late depression, by no means back
ward in preparing for better times.

Judge Catlin Decides That the Peti-
tion Asked for Too Much.
Judge Catlin on Saturday decided the
matter of the petition of J. D. Considine
to have certain property set aside as a
homestead. The matter was heard on
Friday, when the testimony was taken
and the case argued and submitted.
Albert NJ. Johnson. attorney for NJ.
Cronan, creditor, who contested the pc
tition, held that, as the property claimed
for a homestead embraced separate and
distinct lots, which in the aggregate
were worth more than $1,000, the petit
toner was not entitled to the reservation
of the whole.
In his decision Judge Catlin ordered
that only the east half of lot and all of
lots, between n and o, Nineteenth and
Twentieth streets, be set aside as home
stead, and the remainder Of the real es-
tate be turned over to the creditors.
