DEATH OF LUCEY.
DATE OF HIS EXECUTION WILL BE
FIXED BY JUDGE CLANCY
TOMORROW.

Daniel Lucey, who murdered Patrick
L. Regain In Silver Bow canyon on Sep
eember 5, 1898, and was convicted of muir
der in the first degree for the crime, will
pc taken before Judge Clancy at 10
O'Clock tomorrow and informed Of
cate upon which he is to be executed.
The old judgment in the case stands, as
1t was not affected by the prisoners ap-
peal to the supreme court. Had the date
for the execution been stated in the
Judgment at the time the court passed
sentence upon Lucey it would ave multi
fed the Judgment because the date once
decided upon has long since passed, but
the date of execution was simply placed
In the death warrant issues by the clerk
OF the court and urned over to the
sheriff.
The way the case now stands the court
could order Lucey to be executed this
week and it would, in the opinion of at
torneys, be legal, but it is understood
that the condemned man is to be given
betWee thirty and forty days in which
to prepare for death.
Lucey is now in his new quarters in
the witness department and spends a por-
ton of his time playing poker with his
watchers. The stakes, however, are only
matches.

Superintendent Smith. of the Blackfoot
Lumber company, this afternoon notified
Coroner Julien that he was acquainted
with c. Jones, the man who was found
in his room at the Kelly block on
Saturday. He says that several years
ago Jones worked for him as a foreman

About two years ago, however, his wife
and child died and Jones became de-
spondent and gradually lost his grip. A
few months ago, Mr.. Smith learned that
his former employee was i'll and he hunted
him up. Going INTO the mans room he
found him unconscious. Jones had TAX

said that he was tired of living and only
wanted death and a decekt burial. Mr..
Jones worked on him for some time and
after pulling him through, sent him to
the hospital. After that Mr.. Jones lost
sight of Smith until he read the notice
of his death.
