Washington, Oct. 1.-The president
today committed to Imprisonment for
life the death sentence imposed upon
Clyde Mattox of Kansas, who was sen
fenced to hang on the 11th inst, for
numbering John Mullen. a colored man.
The Communication resulted from a per-

the president. In the Endorsement the
president says: 1T is with much hest
tation that 1 can show any measure OF
clemency in this case inasmuch as /

at the same time effectually protect
society in future against his vicious
propensitieS by directing Imprisonment
during life. 1 am constrained to this
course simply and solely because can
not shut out the fear that certain tes-

The mother OF Mattox was at Leav-

tatioa of sentence was received and it
is reported from then that she, as well
as her son, were very much disappoint-
ed as she, at least. had an adea that

He seemed to think that it was about
settled that the great show would
winter in Wichita.
He said they had good buildings at
Burton and they wanted to know how
much damage would be done to the
buildings before closing the contract
and it was for that purpose that Mr..
Ringing was coming. They would talk
it over and close the trade.
Alfred Ringing said when here that
they could winter their show about
5000 cheaper in Wichita than in Wis
consin and it is more than proba BILE
if they secure the buildings at Burton
that they will winter here for years
to come. They use great deal of oats
hay and beef, all of which can be Sc
cured here more cheaply than further

GIVES THEM A SHOW
WANT A RECEIVER APPOINTED FOR
THE TOPEKA CAPITAL.
Case was Before the Federal Court Yester-
day-Creditors Claim that j. X. Hudson
Owns the Paper and that it is a Family
Ahair-Judge Williams Hears the Case
and Determines to Give the Mortgages
Chance to Show Good Faith-Master
In Chancery Appointed to Take Testi-
mony-Receiver will Not be Appointed

The matter of appointing a receiver
| for the Topeka Capital came up before
Judge Williams in the United States
district court yesterday and occupied
the attention of the court for greater
part OF the day.
1t looked at one time very much like
Judge Williams intended to appoint a
receiver but at the critical moment
c. c. Baker, first MORTGAGE turned the
tide in favor of Major Hudson by put
ting in plea that the appointment
! Of receiver would deprecfate the val
ue of the property and endanger his
security.
WELL" said Judge Williams. that
makes difference"It was understood
by the applicants for the receivership
that the mortgages did not object TO
the appointment of receiver and they
so stated and when c. G. Baker by his
attorney. j. D. Mcfarland, of Topeka,
entered the objection, the attorneys on
the other side claimed that Baker had
deceived them, that he had given them
to understand that he did not object
to the appointment of a receiver.
The proceedings We're instituted by
j. E. Baker of st. Louis, who holds
personal judgment against j. K.
Hudson and he made the Topeka Cap
itaq Publishing Co., party to the
suit and asked that a receiver be ap-
pointed. The Capital Co.. and ]. X.
Hudson were represented by r. b.
WEIGH and ". P. Donphit and e. S.
Quinton for J. Z. Baker.
Grounds for the application We're bas-
ed on the grounds that Major Hudson
was the actual owner of the Capital
and that the corporation was formed
for the purpose of standing off his cred
itorS, but they did not sustain this
charge.
Mr.. Quinton addressed the court and
stated the debts against the Capital
at one time were s114,1S7 and that at
eS and claims against them to the am
CUNT Of ST., 497 and that no report had
been made since June 2, 1891 and that
no meeting of the directors had been
held for four or five years. He assert
ed that j. K. Hudson and his family
were drawing the earnings of the paper
in salaries and that the plant was pro-
'ba bly, worth SCI, 600.
Mr.. Welch repudiated any intimation
that Major Hudson had done anything
but what was right. He declared that
his reputation among the people with
whom he lived was such that no man
would accuse him of a dishonest bust
ness transaction. He stated that the
Topeka Capital Co., was formed in
June, 1890 and an affidavit of j. *.
Hudson was read which stated that
owing to the financial depression the
property had not been able to make
The Wichita daily eagle. [volume] (Wichita, Kan.) 1890-1906, 1895-10-02

more than one dividend since that time
He claimed that Baker was creditor
OF an individual stakeholder AMI he
ought not TO be allowed to have re-
ceiver appointed because if Hadscn
owns this plant as plaintiff ayers then
he has a remedy at law. He declared
that there We're other stockholders who
had subscribed and paid for stock in
good faith and now 10 put the Topeka
Capital into the hands of receiver
would wipe out their interests N it.
he admitted that ]. K. Hudson had
placed seventy-tWo shares in the hands
OF j. r. Muivane TO guarantee the pay
ment Of nortga ges.
Mr. Quinton answered by saying that
this proceeding was not brought
against ]. X. Hudson as m individual
stockholder but as the owner Of the
property. He seemed TO think hat ].
X. Hudson and the Topeka Capital Co.,
were all one and he said that the sew
enty-two shares of stock had teen put
in Mulvanes hands at his own reques.
and the mortgages had never consent
| ed TO II nor had they agreed 20 relieve
any claim against the property. lie
claimed that this was an equitable pro-
ceedfng against the property Of Hud-
son and the interests Of 70 one e,Se
could be inTerfered with.
MT. w Ellen stated TO the court that
the corporal ton was paying is debts
when Judge Williams said the claim
seems to be set up that Hudson is in
solvent and the corporation solvent and
that the corpora ton was conceived N
iniquity and brought forth in sin.
He was evidently getting ready TO ap-
point the receiver when e. {. Baker
entered his objection.
Judge Williams said that in order
not to Prejudice the rights of the mort
ages he would not appoint a receiver
at this time but if the N ,rtagees were
not closed at once ne shoui1 make the
appointment, and S. r. Isenhart was
appointed master in cilancery To take
fur ther testimony in the case. The po-
sition taken by Judge Williams was
that he would neither aopo,n. receiv-
er nor refuse to appoint but would
await developments.
The first mortgage hell by c. c. Ba-
ker is for $4,000 and ii was also stated
that Mrs. p. 3. Plumb i.olds mort
gage for $4,000 against the Capital
1t used to be held that this claim of
Plumb's was not legitimate claim but
Mr.. HudSon's attorney stated to a
reporter for the Eagle that Mrs. Plumb
held legitimate mortgage and she
would force collection.
