MISERABLE BILL GAY
His Experience in a Murderer'S Cell
Is a Sad One.

An Expression From Bozeman In
Regard to an Extra Session
Death of Mrs. Panton. an
Estimable Lady.
MAUDE WILL STAND BY HIM

independent: BILL Gay spent the most
miserable day of his 81 years or lie
yesterday in the county jail Added
to the realization of what Tuesdays
verdict of murder in the first degree
meant for him was physical torture
from a distressing headache. His brain
seemed on fire, he said, and he got
Ipeither ease of mind nor ease of body
until late last night when he fell into
a restless slumber. Although Ill yester-
day and In condition 10 look on the
most gloomy side of things. Gay did
not show that he had lost hope. He had
had no idea of a conviction and was
not prepared for the blow. but a man
like Gay never loses his nerve. He
hopes to the last He believes that he
may get new trial. and his attorneys
do not discourage him. In fact, they
will make a determined effort to Sc
cure a new trial. At consultation in
Lewis Penwelrs Office In the Power
building last evening. they decided TO
make the motion, and carry the case
to the supreme court. The motion for
a new trial will be made before Sat
urday.
Gays daughter, Maude, a miss of 13
years, intends TO stay with her father
TO the very last and make an individ-
ual effort for a new trial. She does
not know just what she is going TO do.
All she does know Is that her father
will be sentenced on Saturday to be
hanged for a murder which she be
lieves he did not commit. and that she
feels impelled to do something In his
behalf. What she will do. probably.
will be to circulate a petition asking
for a Communication Of sentence.

who was in the lead, rushed to him
and began sobblng.
Don't cry. dear; don't cry" was all
that Gay could say. He was not
little affected himself.
Then followed a brief conversation
regarding future plans. Gay told his
former wife that he hoped to get
rev trial. There had been a good deal
of evidence in his favor. he said, that
had been overlooked, and he believed
1t was important enough to insure
rev trial. He said all that ne could II
cheer up his visitors, who had not
seen him since Tuesday morning. He
asked them to give him what money
they could spare. Mrs. Abernethy said
they would do what they could. When
the interview ended Mr.. Abernethy
shook hands with the man behind the
bars and said goodbye. Mrs. Gross
also said goodbye and turned away
with tears in her eyes. Mrs. Abernethy
fingered a moment before she. too,
turned away.
Soon after the visitors left the Jail
they returned and Mr.. Abemethy
handed Taller Martin $50 for Gay.
OF Gays friends none took the news
or the verdict harder than Mrs. Gross,
mother of Harry Gross. and Mrs. Aber-
nethy, Gays one-time wife.
THE verdict is awful" she said.
The witnesses against Gay didn't all
tell the truth. and they wouldn't let US
tell how We were treated in Meagher
county. They kept us IN jail while
they stole an the things from our
homes and then told US to go We

AN EXTRA SESSION.
1t Seems to BE Inevitable and Accord ding
to the Codes.

Bozeman Chronicle: Governor Rick
ards has from time TO time expressed
a firm determination to sit down on the
extra session proposition. If he could
consult his own wishes entirely he
would continue to oppose II, as he Is in
fear of discouraging results TO his gu
berantorial boom. which Is having, as
II is. a rocky road TO travel. Up to date
the only adherents his boom has are a
few Office holders who, on account OF
their own affairs and prospects are not
loud in their demands for Ezra's re-
nomination
But am influence is being brought 20
bear on Ezra that will make him con-
sent 30 the extra session, and very
soon We may expect to see the procla-
nation, reluctantly calling the leghsla-
ture together. to attend to matters OF
grave and portentious import.
There are those who say that the ex-
ira session clamor was given new life
by the desire Of the Helena people 10
get their capitol building started. II
Is also whispered abroad that IL the
crowd who wanted their site selected
had been successful they would have
provided the means OF building the
structure; but now they are throwing
a shower OF Ice cold water on every
plan advanced to raise money for this
purpose. Needless to say that the
FIRST National bank people would
have seen to IT that they secured a
proper amount of interest on the
money advanced. They did not pro-
pose to secure this money without cost

professor looked about the room and
called upon Miss Dewey 10 take the
platform Now. Miss Dewey was clad
in a bloomer costume that came dan
gerously near being plain knickerbock-
ers. She was evidently embarrassed
and finally stammered out an excuse
that she was not prepared to recite.
and the professor picked up his book
and said he would occupy the hour
himself
II was wonderful how well Professor
Cumnock knew that selection, for he
hardly looked at his book through the
entire hour. Finally he came to the
most pathetic part. where Connor had
saved up enough money to send for
his wife and little girl. and when he
went to the wharf to meet them he
found they had died and been buried
at sea. and then all the bloomer girls
went.
At the end of the hour the girls
tripped merrily back to the gym" all
declaring II was Jolly good sport"
and that they would like to wear
boomers there every day.
