HANGED, BUT MAY GO FREE.
Sentenced, But Rope Broke, and Sen
tence Was COMMITTED.

st. Louis Globe-Democrat: After being
tried for the assassination of VIII Buck
ley in Madison county. for which crime he
was convicted and an attempt at legal
execution made, failing because the rope
broke, and after having his sentence COM
muted by Governor McLaurin to life i'm
prisonment in the penitentiary, Will Pur-
Wis, the notorious Whitecapper, stands a
good chance to be pardoned.
The governor this morning received a.
remarkable letter, signed by the three
brothers and a brother-in-law of VIII
Buckley, the murdered man, stating that
they believed a mistake had been made
and that an innocent man was suffering
the penalty of anotherS crime. These rel
atives have, ever since the assassina ton
been bitter against PurVis, and have re-
sisted every attempt to have him par
doned. The letter in question is signed by
A. l.. Buckley, j. Q. Buckley, f. NJ. Buck
ley and II. G. Tunnage 1t recites the fact
that the continued confinement of VIII
Purvis in the penitentiary will have a
tendency to shield the real murderer of
their brother
One brother, Jim Buckley, was with viii
when the latter was killed. and testified
on the trial that he saw VIII Purvis I'M
breeching his gun right after the fatal
shot was fired. This, with some corrob-
oratorT evidence, was the meat of the
prosecutions case, and the evidence upon
which PurVtS was sentenced to hang
During the last session of the legislature
petition was circulated largely signed,
asking that Purvis be pardoned. In adj
diion. the people of Marion county have
all along doubted his guilt
me story OF Purvis' alleged crime and
the subsequent proceedings have already
been published. VIII Buckley was alleged
to have belonged to a gang of Whitecap-
DerS in Marion county. It was said he
was threatened with death in case he re-
vealed anything to the grand jury. He
was assassinated while returning from
court. Purvis was arrested and convicted
on the evidence. cited above, but the rope
broke and he fell to the ground uncon-
scious. He was returned to jail. and his
LAWYERS made the point before the SUI
oreme court that he was executed The
court held, however. that he had to be
dead before the sentence of the law had
been carried out
De afterward escaped, and was at large
when Governor McLaurin was inaugurat-
ed. He offered TO return to custody If the
governor would commute his sentence to
life Imprisonment. He refused to nego-
tlate with him Until he had surrendered.
Puryis then surrendered. and was brought
by the governor to the Denitentiary for
safe keeping. There his sentence was COM
muted TO life Imprisonment. and ever
since he has been serving his sentence.

Salt Lake Tribune (Jan. %, 1899.
Organ of the reunited Republicans of
Utah. "He president Mckinley is
the direct enemy of the silver cause.
The Tribune had hoped better
things of him, but it does SO no
longer"
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1898-11-06

The election of Mckinley Rspub-
ican like Alma Eldredge, pledged as
he is to all of McKinley's policies,
from a state which gave 80 per cent
of it's total vote to Bryan only two
years ago, would be such goldbug
victory as they would not dare to
hope for in any state of the far east.
It would be a blow from which silver
would not soon recover.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1898-11-06

Two years ago there were some Re
publican state conventions that de-
clared for Bryan. This year every
Republican state convention, includ-
ing Utah, endorsed McKinley's poll

The success of the Republican party
in Utah would mean the approval Of
gold monometallism; the vindication
of Hanna; the encouragement of plu-
tocracy; the acceptance of the st.

The silver sentiment is growing in
the east. Two years ago silver men
were anxiously watching and wish
ing for majority Of the Democratic
state conventions to declare for silver.
Two-thirds of them so declared.
This year every Democratic state
convention, with four exceptions,
adopted silver platforms, and not one
of those four declared against it.

This is the call upon which the Re

for silver inside the Republican party
are invited to participate.

CARPET-BAGGERs.

Not a few of our good citizens
and more gossips are worrying
their souls over the possibilities of
carpet = Dagger personnel in the
future official life of this territoiy y.
They point to the reconstruction
period of the Southern States and
picture all kinds of political hor-
rors. Our fearful friends make the
error of forgetting to look up the
political conditions that have exist.
ed in such territories as Washing
ton, Oregon, in fact all through the
Western States. Almost without
exception, the men appointed from
Washington to govern these terri
tories have been carpet = baggers.
Almost without exception these
men have proved themselves high
ly competent officials as regards
their relations with the national
govei nment. Almost without ex-
ception they have sought to ally
their interests with those of the ter.
ritory to which they are appointed;
they have remained in the territory
and by the personal energy and in.
tegrity placed themselves in the
ranks of prominent and honored
men.
The exceptions in officials of ter
ritories have only been sufficient to
prove the rule. Ward heelers and
political scapegraces have turned
up in the territories, but display of
political and personal chicanery
mas resulted in their being turned
down and kicked out.
Although the new officials may
in n sense be carpet-baggers, it is
safe to predict that the popular
voice will have as much or more
influence IN official life than it has
had in the future.

soldiers" And what can thu
Yankee say in reply. He is up
a-stump and has only to appeal to
the spirit of honor among the ma
jority of the soldiers, and look to
the responsible officers for redress
of the wrongs done. A display of
high honor is sometimes harder
during the peaceful periods of
civil life than when the excite
meut of military strife bouys a
man up. All the more reason is
there then for the men wearing the
proud American blue to muster
their higher instincts of honor.
Remember that the American
has made a good reputation as
fighter. Remember also that the
American has higher reputation
to uphold, that of being at all
times a gentleman.

Sunday evening, were eyewit-

pening to a man on a bicycle. 1t
was at the junction of the Old

The bicycle swerved off the road
way bringing the rider into vio-

house brought carriage, in which
the injured man was brought into

as the one reported yesterday, of

H0ngk ong BUSINESS Men Protest Against
Spanish Duties.
Hongkong, August 26.-The
continuation of the Spanish GUS
toms duties at Manila is causing a
great protest among American and
British merchants here. The
commercial classes declare in dis
gust tnat only the recognition of
the Friars is lacking to make the
American occupation of Manila a
complete farce. The feeling is
bitter in mercantile circles.
The family of Senior Cortez, one
of the wealthiest Filipinos, will
return to Manila tomorrow, and
Senior Cortez will strive to recover
his property there, which was con-
fiscated by the Spanish owing to
the aid he is alleged to have given
Aguinaldo. Senior Cortez assured
President Mckinley of his allie
glance to America, through Con.
sui General Wildman, on May
9th, and he now trusts, with the
aid of the Americans, to recover
all his property. He says that
the family mansion is occupied by
Spanish commanders and denies
that he gave aid, as alleged, to
Aguinaldo.
