DEATH EX CUTIO

The Law Positive That They Shall Be
Private: The Law is Supreme.
There has been, and is. consid-
cradle talk, more or less diversi-
fed, in regard to the private ex-
ecution OF the negro murderer
Sam Wright. in this city. But
those who indulge in such adj
verse comment are either igno-
rant of the law or void of due
respect for its observance.
The law is said to be the per-
lection of wisdom. Tt is the law
that takes Sam Wright's life for
murder. Does any nan say that
Sam Wright should not be
hanged?
The sane law-making power
that fixed the penalty for murder
al death in this State says that
the execution of that penalty
shall be in private. Both pro-
visions of the law are equally
to be respected.
Ia the Code of North Carolina,
Volume 1, we read:
Section 1244-As the ends Of JUS
tice, public morals and the preserva
ton of order demand that the exc
cution of all capital offenders should
be made V and invested
with the solemnity appropriate to
the final act of penal law, any sheriff
on whom shall devolve the execution
of a sentence of death on a public
offender, shall be required to pro

A CURIOUS CASE
Wherein It Is Held That Certain
Moneys Cannot Be Garnisheed

A rather odd application was made
yesterday in the probate department in
the estate of H. A. Stevens, a minor.
Mrs. ALISON Hoffman was formerly
guardian to the minor and during that
time she loaned certain money to the
estate. Later she was removed, and c.
H. Rowland was appointed guardian
in her stead. Upon Mrs. Hoffman filing
her final account, it was adjudged that
the estate was indebted to her in the
sum of $179, and Rowland, having sold
some property belonging to the estate,
had that much money of hers in his
hands.
S. C. Brown, a plumber, sued Mrs.
Hoffman by attachment and garnisheed
the money of hers in Howland's hands
When the case of Brown VS.. Hoffman
came to trial, the plaintiff got judgment
for $76 and costs, and the time for ap-
pealing having elapsed, Brown wanted
his money handed over from the funds
in Howland's possession.
Yesterday Judge Clark denied the ap-
plication, holding that the money refer
red to was not liable to garnishment.

Merchants EnthusIestic

The Midsummer "Karnival de Kom-
merce," proposed to be given July 9th and
18th, at the Los Angeles theater, is arous-
ing no end of interest in business circles.
and that 1t will be thorough success goes
without saying. Fully one hundred of the
most progressive merchants and business
hrms or the city will be represented in
unique and characteristic manner by
one hundred popular society ladies, ar
rayed in gorgeous and typical costumes,
That these displays will be all that in
genuity can devise, it is only necessary to
state that 500 worth of elegant prizes
will be given to those winning the approba-
ton and votes of the majority of the au-
dience voting with seat coupons at the
close of each performance. The first prize
is $50 lady's bicycle, and the second
prize a lady's gold watch. The others are
very nice, but not so expensive. The firm
that takes sufficient interest in their dis
play to win the majority vote of the au-
dience wins also the bicycle for the lady
who donates her services in their behalf.
The contest for these prizes will undoubt-
eddy be spirited one. and therefore the
liant, costly and novel representations.
Daily rehearsals FOR this midsummer
event are now in progress, and the public
will be given rare treat, indeed. The pro-
ceeds of the karnival are to be added to the
relief fund of Stanton corps, w. r. c. 1t Is
a worthy cause, and since the performance
is we'll worth the price of admission, a
crowded house both nights is assured.

THE ARIZONA COLONEL" HAD

But Talked Openly of His Criminal
Scheme to His Confidants
and to Mrs. Maggie
Brown

The trial of Colonel L. Upper on the
charge of aiding the noted Roscoe train
wrecker, kid" Thompson, to escape
from the county Jail has really begun.
The two missing witnesses, Fay Har-
ris and John D. Jenkins, have been dis
covered, and with their appearance upon
the scene the cogwheels of justice i'm
mediately began to revolve. How these
men were found makes an additional
interesting circumstance in this excep-
tionally interesting trial
Jailer Kennedy was seen down at
Santa Monica on Thursday night and
was. presumably, looking for the abb
sentees. On Friday morning Attorney
Mills of counsel for the defense heard
that Kennedy had again gone to Santa
Monica, and he thought that in the light
of the revelations it would not be bad
move to follow Kennedy's trail, as by
80 doing he might track to their hiding
places Harris ard Jenkins. At Santa
Monica the attorney found that Kenne-
dy had hired two-seated rig. and driv-
en- up the beach and had returned about
an hour or an hour and half later. Mr..
Mills got bicycle and he, too, rode up
the beach to the canyon and after some
hunting around found one of the miss
ing men in saloon, while the other was
met almost Immediately afterwards.
MR.. MILLS WISDOM
Mr.. Mills brought the two men back
to Santa Monica, but not without diff
Guilty, both men attempting to break
away. Upon arriving in the town he
sp.ed Kennedy across the street ard
called to him, but the latter demurred
at crossing the street, and asked Mills
to cross over to him. Finally, however,
the gallant jailer did consent to walk
across to where the three men were
standing and then Mills called upon
Kennedy as an officer to take in charge

MAGGIE BROWNS TALE
Mrs. Maggie Brown was the next wit
ress and after Jailer Kennedy Is the
most important witness for the prosecu-
ton. She identified the defendant, and
stated that she became acquainted with
him one or two weeks before kid"
Thompson's trial. HE came to my room
with letter of introduction from Kid
Thompson" said witness. II destroyed
the letter. 1t introduced him to me, and
asked that I introduce him to Fay Har-
ris. The letter from Kid Thompson
stated that Col. Tupper was to help in
getting gun in to him, and that Fay
Harris would carry any message be-
tween us. Upper and had conversa-
ton after we both had read the letter
over and he stated he had come to help
the Kid all he could. 1 took him down
that same afternoon and introduced him
to Attorney Mills. The conversation was
in the Wiley house on South Broadway,
and next day the defendant secured a
room in the same house just underneath
mine, on the floor below. He was in my
room the next day, but / can't remember
the particular conversation because he
came in every day. The first converse
ton L can remember distinctly was on
April IL. during the KIDS trial, when
Topper came home from the court He
urged that I should find Scott and that
he might confess that he was the guilty
party and that the Kid was innocent.
On the next day-Tuesday evening-he
again came and said that so far the case
had gone in the Kids favor. He had
explained before that he intended to
have new handles put on his gun, and I
asked him about it and he said he had
not had it done because he didn't have
the money, but that he was going to
scratch some initials on it out.
previously he had stated that he had.
brought gun from Arizona and that
was the one he was going to send into
the jail. He said he had no money to
buy another one and hadn't money to
spare to purchase one. On the Wednes-
day I told Upper when he came that
Mr.. Jenkins had come that morning and
asked if I had got the gun for kid"
yet, and L told him had no gun and the
only person that had one was Topper.
Jenkins left the message that Upper
should meet him that night. When they
met, Jenkins asked if Topper had what
he came for, and Topper said Yes; I'll
go and get it, and went out. When he
returned turned to the washstand, not
wishing to see the gun, ard as 1 again
turned l saw Jenkins making the mo ton
Of putting something in his hip pocket.
Topper then told jenkins to tell Kid
Thompson to do nothing rash unless he
had to, as everything SO far, had gone in
his favor. That conversation took place
on the day that Alva johnson refused
to testify.

close and waited with Upper to see if
