KARNEs CITY, May 25.-(Special)
Your reporter saw May yester-
day who was well, and apparently
indifferent at his fate. He smoke d
and chatted and complained that
the press was wrong in saying he
assumed bravado. He was not
brave, but wanted to bear what
was put upon him. He claimed
the killing Of Martin was accident
ST. He refused to divulge his
name or whether married. The in
ference is he is. Crowds saw him
yesterday busy writing till mid
night. He slept calmly till sunrise.
He continued writing as calm as
ever, what is said to be a confess
sion or statement; some say private
letters. He would not talk to the
reporters, but promised to see them
at p. m. The scaffold is ready,
and the moose, etc., has been tested,
and all works well. Martin, father
of the murdered fireman, and sons,
are here to see the execution.
There are crowds of people in the
streets, especially around the Jail.
The execution is forced to be pri.
vate, under the orders of the gov
ernor. Sheriff Sale will spring
the trap punctually at 4 pm.
