ROBERTS MUST HANG.
He Will Die Tomorrow for the Muir.
der of Walter Freeman.

George Washington Roberts, now in
the State Prison at Folsom, is to-day
passing through the Valley of the
Shadow OF Death. AT 10 o'clock tO-mor
row morning he will be hanged for the
murder of Walter Freeman at Latrobe,

last.
George Washington Roberts will be
hanged this morning at 10 o'clock in
the State Prison at Folsom for the muir
| der Of Walter Freeman at Latrobe on
April 13, 1896.
| The deed was one of the most cold
blooded ones in the annals of the State.
The two men had been drinking to-
| gether, but We're not drunk, but Rob-
erts became quarrelsome. Freeman put
out his foot, over which Roberts STUN
bled, but did not fall. He felt insulted
however, and left the place, returning
few minutes later with a pistol, with
which he attempted to shoot Freeman.
The pistol was discharged harmlessly,
he being disarmed by the bystanders.
! Friends interviewed and a peace was
patched up and all hands agreed to
take a drink, While they We're waiting
| tor the glasses to be filled Roberts,
smiling all the While, took out his
pocket knife and opened it, while Free
man looked on indifferently. Swift as
flash Roberts turned, and with one
quick stroke cut Freeman's throat from
car to ear, half severing his head from
his body.
Freeman stood and looked at Roberts
| till most of his blood had run out, and
| turning to DIR. Powers of Elk Grove,
| who was present, asked him if the cut
was a dangerous one.
! why, good heavens, man, you are
dead now was the unexpected reply,
and with a look of surprise and pain on
his face, Freeman fell dead
| Justice did not hang fire in Roberts
case, as it did in Durrant's, and he was
tried on May 9th, convicted and sem
| fenced to die and will expiate his crime
| tomorrow.
| Roberts was tried and convicted the
| following month, and sentenced to be
| hanged on the 4th of September. War
| den Aull has all the arrangements COM
| i)leted for the execution, to which a few
| press representatives and officials have
been invited.

Prices of all fancy groceries, nuts,
crackers, etc, are exactly twice as
much in Mexican silver as in American
silver, the actual value of the Mexican
dollar being at present 80 1-3 cents.
Should Bryan be elected, and with him
a Congress which will pass a law pro-
viding for free and independent coinage
of silver by the United States, every
workman in this country is Interested
in a pertinent inquiry as to what VIII
be the effect of such election upon the
above price list. If the United States
throws open it's mints to free coinage
of silver, as Mexico practically does
now, will the American silver dollar
continue to buy as much as it now does,
or will the prices Of all goods, as eX-
pressed in American silver dollar, rise
to level or above those Of the Mexican
dollar? If they rise that way here they
will rise in the same proportion all over

His four-horse team was found some

him from his seat. His right arm and

q. A, No. Sin Bank-Filed Septem-
ber l, 1866
I. w. Hellman, appellant; J. H.
Shoulders, Treasurer of the City of Los
Angeles, ct al, respondents. City bond
issue. Affirmed.
The bonds were made payable only
out of a special fund to be raised by
assessment on the property benefited I;
it was expressly declared in the Act that
the city shall in no event be liable upon
them and no personal liability for their
payment was by the Act imposed on
any one. Liens upon property where no
person is bound to perform the Obliga-
ton are common, especially in cases of
taxation, and in cases Of this character
no personal liability can constitution
ally be imposed upon the property
owner.
In a suit in equity for an injunction to
restrain a sale for the collection of a
tax, no such injunction will be to correct
mere errors or irregularities in the pro-
ceedings, even such as would render the
sale void; certainly not where the
plaintiff makes no offer to pay what is
due.
