The St. Paul Boy NIurderdr Hanged in
Montana.
Kelispel, Mont, Dec. 23.-The hang
Ing Of Calvin j. Christie, or Charles
}. Black, as he was kr own here, took
place yesterday. His iron nerve re-
lnalned to the last. He walked firm
ly to the gailows and smiled most Of
the time. He claimed innocence 20
the last, and uttered a prayer, after
Which the trap was sprung and the
execution successfully done.
The annals of crime do not record
the commission of one more villain
GUS than that which resulted in the
death Of Calvin J. Christie on the
gallows. On April % Mrs. Lena Cum
ningham, the wife of a rancher living
in the upper end of the county, left
the little town Of Columbia Falls to
go home. Christie saw her leave, and,
taking another route, met her in the
woods and brutally murdered her af-
ter violating her person.. .." -
The court records furnish almost a
complete history of the life of Christie
from boyhood. He was born in Au-
rora twenty one years ago His father
died In St. Paul, where the family To-
Gated In 1875. His mother was after
ward married to Albert Brimley, with
whom she is now living. The boy was
wayward from this time. He first
came into prominence as a thief by
joining a gang Of young pickpockets
who did a profitable business in St.
Paul. They gave trouble during the
days of the ice carnivals Pocket
picking led to still greater crimes.
Christie at one time was a pal of Bill
Donaldson, a Boston safe blower.
They blew safe at Hinckley, but
were never apprehended. Christie
was very successful as a till Taper.
He committed number of crimes in
St. Paul, the last being the robbery
of jewelry store on West Third
street. For this he was sentenced to
five years at Saltwater, but after serv-
ing thirteen months was sent to st.
Peter asylum as an epileptic, feigning
fits. From there he escaped and came
West.
