Special Dispatch to the STANDARD.
LAKE CRYSTAL, Mimi, Oct. o5. - The
STANDARDS correspondent interviewed
Joseph Mccormick, the self accused
slayer of w. j. Penrose. editor of
the Butte Mining Journal, tonight,
and in less than an hour
after the interview he had broken Jail and
escaped. He refused at first to talk OF tho
affair but finally gave in substance tho
following particulars: Penrose had
been elected to the legislature on a
labor ticket pledged to secure certain
reforms for miners. He was suspected of
having sold out the interest that elected
him, and, upon his return to Butte he
was notified TO leave the country and was
given six weeks in which to do SO. PEN
rose was n member Of the Sons of st.
George. There was much illfeeling in
Butte between the Irish and Cornish men.
and Penrose had mado many enemies
among tho Irish. some articles which
appeared in his paper had aroused
much indignation in certain circles in
Butte and altogether the hatred felt to-
wards Penrose by some people was very
intense and bitter.
On the night of the last day of the six
weeks in which he was givcn'to get out of
the country, according to Mccormick 3
story, Penrose was shot. Mccormick
claimed that his death was dccrecd at a
meeting of certain men in Butte. The
slayer was chosen by lot. A number OF
white balls and ons black ball were put
in q bag, and the man who drew the black
ball was to do the murder. Tho blacl,
ball was drawn by n man who is promi.
of this man Mccormick refused TO tell.
The man did not wish to do the killing
himself, and so he induced Mccormick
and others to do the job. The names OF
these others Mccormick refused to divulse
to the STANDARD correspondent,
saying that if he gave his
partners in crime away he
would be shot before he ever
got 10 the court house. Mccormick was
not present at the meeting which, he says,
decreed the killing. The shooting was
done AT midnight and all the parties i'm.
plicated easily mado their escape. Three
men were arrested afterwards for the
murder, but they were innocent and were
acquitted.
Mccormick said he was not known az
Mccormick in Butte, but went by nick.
name. He refused to state what this nick
name was. He said he has worked in
various mines after the murder He said
he was sorry now that he had given him.
self up and confessed the murder.
Why Mccormick should break jail afte,
giving himself up is a mystery, unless his
his streak of remorsc vanished of n sud
den. The facility with which he slipped
out of tho strong iron cage shows that he
is a desperate of no mean accomplish,
ments. He is about feet 10 inches tall
well built, with square features, restless
grey eyes, dark hair and q few days
growth of beard and moustncho.
