He ESCAPES THE GALLONS.
MILTON WILLIAMS SENTENCE IS
COMMITTED
Murderer of David Finn at Austin
VIII Go to Saltwater, on IA Doubt
as to PremeditatiOn.

Milton Williams escapes the gal
lows.
The board of pardons, at special
meeting yesterday morning IN the gov
ernor's Office, committed the sentence
of the Austin murderer to life impris-
onment.
The board, after hearing arguments
Of the condemned mans attorneys,
committed his sentence, on the ground
that there was reasonable doubt that
the crime was premeditated.
Williams was convicted and SEN
fenced to be hanged for the murder Of
Daniel Finn, on the steps of the Will
Jams house in Austin, Mimi, Feb 20.
He was convicted Of murder In the
first degree, but it has since been urged
that he should have received a SEN
tence in the second degree, as the
murder was not premeditated. How
ever, when the trial was in progress,
evidence was introduced which showed
that Williams, after his quarrel with
Finn early in the evening, went back
into the house and secured the revol-
yer with which he did the shooting
Quite a fine piece of legal jurispru-
dence is involved in the case.
Williams attorneys claim that the
murder was entirely unprecedented
but the prosecution held that his going
stituted generalization, and he was
guilty Of murder in the first degree
The board Of pardons shares the belief
Of the defense. The sentiment in the
county was such at the time that there
was little inclination to give the muir
derer the benefit Of a doubt. The case
was a very aggravated one, as Will
Jams, without warning, walked out Of
the hotel and shot Finn, who was CON-
ing up the stairs.
The trouble grew out Of jealousy over
a servant employed in the hotel.
The previous character Of Williams
and the nature Of the deed caused q
strong prejudice in the public mind.
AT the hearing before the board yes
terday, Williams was represented by
w. w. Erwin and r. J. Dowdall. S.
d. CatherWood, county attorney OF
Mower county, was also present.
Mr.. Catherwood said he had no OBJ
lection to a Communication of the death
sentence, If he was assured that there
would be no motion for a new trial In
case the board committed the sentence
An agreement was drawn up and sign
ed by Williams attorneys which stipu-
lated that no new trial would be asked
for.
The board went into executive ses-
sion, and, within a very short time,
announced it's decision.
Williams is but twenty-four years of
age, but is generally known as a very
tough character. For several years
he had been employed as a bus driver
by the Williams house, owned by his
parents, who at one time ran the old
Williams house at White Bear lake.

The state board Of equalization spent
the day yesterday wrestling with the
returns made by county boards on
material and manufactured articles"
and tools and implements of Mime
apolis.
Ransey's assessment in both classes
was laid over until after the hearing
to be given the attorneys of the city
railway company next Wednesday, as
the figures in these two classes are par
tially included in the railway COM
panys assessment.
1t is quite probable that the board
will reduce Ramsey's assessment In
these two classes, as the returns OF this
wear added together are $4,000 more
than last, although there is consider
able falling off on material and man
ufactured articles" This. however, Is
more than made up by the large re-
turns made in tools and lmplemeHts'
causing a surplus of a little less imam
SfO0 600 The board left the figures for
Hennepin county for both these classes
as revised by the county poaro uh-
changed. The figures OF the FORMER
class were about the same as last year.
while the assessment on tools ana I'M
Elements was 100000 less than year
ago.
Mr.. Cole explained that nearly all the
this year had been listed with real es-
tate.
No objection was made and the hg-
Pine county was assessed $500,
AGAINST 1900 last year. Fff-
teen per cent will do 1T, says
President Porter. Taken as the sense
of the board unless objection is made.
81 see that Anoka is $4,000 short,
s1egested Mr.. Haven. Anoka county
was passed until he could advise with
the county auditor.
II should also like to have Polk
county passed over" asserted Mr..
Stadwold "There is a great falling OH
there. and I think it is accounted Tor
bv the fact that we had about 1O'ooo'-
O0o feet of lumber in pile at Crookston
last wear and none this year.
A new saw mill made an increase IN
Ramsey. $52S, $50 against $4SS,2OO last
wear" significantly called out Mr.. Fid-
N"It will be a good plan," said Mr..
Gordon. ito let this lay over until after
the city railway hearing, together with
article II.
Rice county showed a considerable
decrease from 1897. The old figures
were restored.
Roseau, $405,0 900 against $145,OOO, was
passed with special mention.
Scott county showed returns with a
rock bottom assessment, and 1t was
promptly raised so per cent.
Washington county's returns should
be passed, said Mr.. Johnson. Several
elevators have burned at saltwater
during the last year, which accounts
for the 10 per cent decrease in the as
sessment.
Watonwan county was raised 100 per
cent. The figures as presented We're
relatively very low

of Fact.

The proceedings brought by the city
against the street railway company to
compel the construction and operation
of the Broadway loop, came before
Judge Bum yesterday and was set for
trial Sept. &c.
The city brought mandamus proceed
ings against the company, but the at
tOrney for the company raised a ques-
ton Of fact which necessitated the case
being heard other than a straight
mandamus case.
Corporation Attorney Markham ap-
peared for the city and NJ. D. Mum
for the railway company.
G. d. O'Brien appeared on behalf of
a number of parties interested in the
maintenance of the present loop on
Robert street and asked permission to
come into the case.
Mr. Markhm said he had no objection
and stated that he would be pleased
to have those interested in the Broad
way loop come in with counsel.
