WILL STRETCH HIS NECK
FOLEY FOUND GUILTY OF AN afro
CIOUS MURDER.
One of the Most Depraved Beings Who
Ever walked the Earth-Murdered
His Mother and Sister.

Liberty, Mo, Jan. This afternoon
the jury in the trial of William Foley
for the murder of his sister and mother
after being out two hours and 40 min
utes, returned a verdict of murder in
the first degree. After the verdict had
been read Judge Broaddus sentenced
Foley to be hanged Friday, Feb. s.
When Foley was brought into the
court room to hear his fate his face was
ashen, but his features wore the usual
stern look. An almost imperceptibe
shake of the head was Foley's only re-
ply when asked whether he had any
thing to say why sentence should not
be passed upon him. Then Judge
Broaddus proceeded to deliver a most
scathing arraignment. while the priso-
ner nervously wiped the perspiration
from his brow
AT your first trial" said the Judge
Il had very grave doubts of your guilt
but on the second time they We're swept
away. The evidence has shown you
to be guilty beyond a doubt. 1t is the
most convincing chain of circumstan-
tfal evidence that ever came under my
knowledge.
while it looks incredible, the links
are complete / cannot conceive why
you should murder your mother and
sister. You must be one of the most
depraNed human beings that ever
walked the earth. You and your God
alone know why you stained your
hands with blood"
At the conclusion of the judges stern
words Foley sank limp ana helpless
to his chair. but grasped the arms of
it a moment later and sat up straight
Major Woodson at once filed a motion
for Il new trial, which was oVerruled.
Not one of Foleys witnesses or
friends We're near him at the trying
moment. The crowd in the court room
was well pleased and gave vent to their
feelings by stamping feet and applause.
All the morning groups of farmers
gathered on the streets, and it was au-
thoritatiVely stated that a mob had
been organized To hang Foley had the
jury failed to do what the citizens of
clay county considered to be their duty.
Before the arguments began Foley and
his cousin sat at the table talking and
laughing, and he acted as if he did not
fear the result of the trial. During the
addresses by his attorneys, however,
Foley and his sisters were almost con-
stantly in tears.
Foley's crime. the murder of his
mother an aged woman. and his sister
Fannie. aged IS, was most brutal. They
lived together on their farm four miles
north OF Liberty. The father was dead
and the mother and sister had pre-
vented young Foley from having the
property sold and divided. On the
nlSht of Nov. IL, 1896, the women WerS
shot from the outside by Foley, who
then broke in the door ana following
the wounded women from room to
room. as they tried to escape, finished
the crime. using revolver and gun.
Foley was the first TO give the alarm.
and tried to cast suspicion on Earl
Hoover. "A discharged farm hand. The
vigilance committee worked M evi-
dence against Foley. and il was nee
essary to bring him to Kansas city to
prevent lynching. He was tried in
June, 1896 but the jury disagreed.

Murder of Mr.. Whitney.
Mr.. G0ODALE HORRlFIED

This Afternoon.

David Goodale, who went to Wallace.

the Helena Frisco coneentrator, who
was murdered at Gem because he had
incurred the dislike of some of the men
of the community. has returned to Butte

man. Mr.. Goodale states that at Wal
lace there was an evident disposition on
the part of the majority of the people
of the community to hush the matter
up as quickly as possible. and that had
he not gone to Idaho they would
not so much as have held an inquest.
When he inquired when the inquest
would be held, he was informed that
none had been arranged for. and ii be-
came necessary to telegraph TO the
county attorney and have man depu-
tized to hold an inquest.
Mr.. Goodale said that. impossible as
il may seem, more than majority of
the people seemed actually to take a
satisfaction in the manner in which
young Whitney was disposed of. and
seemed to think he got his just deserts.
gloating over the fact that the threats
which had been made to drive Whitney

ployment out of the country had been
carried out Such a state of lawlessness
as would appear to exist from the facts
that have come to light in connection
with the dastardy crime savors of bor-
der days and is almost beyond belief.
Every effort will be made to ferret out
Whitneys murderers and bring them to
justice.

GARDENS OF ANCIENT TIMES.

From the Philadelphia Times.
Ia Babylon a crowded city built on
a fiat plain, the queens had their gar
dens in the air-hanging or roof gar
dens-whence they could look far away
to the distant sky line. Here rich and
rare blossoms grew and lovely foliage
gave shade and a eoolor air refreshed
the brow than that of the heated
streets far below. The rich also had
high, terraced gardens on land, and
sweetest or all, floating gardens on the
lakes. These were made on RATS and
in the rich soil and abundant moisture
the flowers bloomed marvelously, while
in the waters another garden-counter-
part of the first-bioomed in fair

one might have the enjoyment of move

JOHNS GAY CELEBRATION
With Corrine Wilson He Drove
Out to the Road House.

He Fell Down Behind a Stove. and Just
Then His Wife Drove In and There
Was a Thrilling Tableau.
Corrine Skipped

: In the arrest last evening of Corrinne
Wilson, a woman of the half world, on
charge of grand larceny. an inter-
esting story of mans infidelity to his
conjugal vows and of the unfaithful
husband being overtaken by his wifes
wrath was revealed.
John Funk. the proprietor of a saloon
in South Main street, started in the new
year by going out to celebrate with the
Wilson woman. He did thriving busi-
ness New Years eve, and by o'clock
yesterday morning was about as well
picked as any of his customers. In an
evil moment he decided to have a little
celebration Of his own and hiring
rig from livery stable, invited the
woman to join him, and together they
drove to the Reception road house. There
they had more refreshments and got
beastly drunk. Finally they decided to
take ride to the Nine Mile house, but
got frozen out before they got there
and came back to the Reception to
warm up. This they did by drinking
more liquor, and after time they at
tempted to make the Nine Mile house
again, but again gave it up and came
back to the starting point.
Both were badly used up, and Funk
fell in a heap behind the stove, in the
bar room just as another rig drove up
u Tie IOdQ Ilpuse 1t Was udyllSHI Dy
this time and Mrs. Funk, who had Won
dered why her husband did not come
home, found where he had gone and
went after him. The Wilson woman
was not so drunk as not to know who
was in the buggy that stopped in front
of the road house, just as she and Funk
got back the second time, and she es-
capped into a back room just as the
angry wife came in the front door. On
finding her husband behind the stove.
Mrs. Funk took him to task and wanted
to know who was with him. Funk was
drunk enough not to care much what
happened and replied that it was his
girl. The woman could hardly contain
herself as she inquired how much money
he had brought with him. He said $40
Then she wanted to know what had be-
come of it. His girl had it, he said,
and he returned similar answer when
she asked what he had done with his
watch and diamond locket, or hers,
rather. for it was the wife's watch he
carried.
The wife SWore vengeance on the wo-
man, and bundling her besotted spouse
into her own carriage, drove home and
went for the police. Chief Mulholland
and Officer Dougherty visited the Will
son woman's room after she returned
to town and placed her under arrest. On
searching her they found $13 in money,
but a thorough search of her effects
failed to reveal the watch and locket
She was taken to the city prison and
later to the county Jail. where she will
be held pending the filing of COM
