These cars have been brought from
Ohio and will remain at Patten until

Boston, October 8O.-Thomas e. Blan-
ney, alias Edward f. Blanney, alias Ed

bury district court today on a charge of
threatening his wire, Jennie M. BIanney
He pleaded not guilty and was ordere d

November 3.
Blanney is the man who is locked up
in police station 10 charged with being
a fugitive from justios. It is alleged that
he is the man who committed murder
in Maine in 1888 The facts which led
the police to hold i'm on this charge
were given them by his wife.
When Blanney appeared in court today
he was In a state Of collapse. Capt Han
ley had an Interview with Judge Bolster
with regard to holding the man for being
a fugitive from justice but his honor did
not see fit to hold him on that charge.
Blanney at first said he would go to
Maine if the authorities there wanted
him without extradition papers but today
he stoutly refused to leave Boston unless
papers vera served on him. In conversa-
ton with Captain Hanley, this morning,
he asked the latter II hanging was the
law In Maine and when informed that it
was not, he seemed to be pleased.
Attorney General Haines of Maine
tslegraphed Captain Hanley that he will
send officers for the prisoner as soon as
the necessary papers are secured.
Blanney was taken to the S1ffolk jai
to await trial next Monday on the charg
brought by his wife.

Following is a detailed account of
Halls crime; The charge for which
Edwin Hall, now under arrest IN Boston,
ls wanted IN Maine is the alleged murder
Of Alexander NJ. Mckinney of Rivers-
dale, Ms at Lake Onawa, on the morn
Ing of July 3, 1888. Mckinney was a
suO-contraotor on the Canadian Pacific
railway, which was being built across
Maine at that time he was in charge of
the pumps which were located on ths
shore Of Lake Onawa, which pumped
water to the steam drills. He was a man
that saved every cent he earned and was
known to have considerable money on his
person at the time of the murder, the
sum reported being from $500 to $1,000.
Mckinney was we'll acquainted with
Hall, and used to pass considerable Of
his time IN Halls camp in Elliotsville.
On Monday. July ?, Mckinney met
Hal in Monson and returned with him
to his camp That day was the last time
Mckinney was seen alive. He was not
missed from his work until Tuesday, and
a searching party was at once organized
to hunt for him. His body was found
Wednesday evening, July 4, at eight
o'clock in the water in a dump of alder
bushes near Greenwood stream, to which
It had been dragged by the murderer.
He had been shot twice with Win
chester rifle, one bullet passing through
his head and the other through the body
just below the neck. The rife used was
found about thirty feet from the point
where the murder took place, and at
point one hundred feet from where the
body was found.
The rifle was thrown behind log and
was found with the muzzle sticking in
the ground. A comb was also found
rifle are said to have been identified as
belonging to Hall.
After the murder, it is alleged, Hall
went to Monson and there paid some
small bills and also bought several arti-
cles rendering $50 bills in payment for
the same; that he bought ticket at the
station there for Bangor, but left the
train at Guilford and took the stage
across to Dexter at which place he bought
ticket for Boston. On the train which
left Dexter that afternoon for Portland
VhCAO was q M JunUu ulhu anu ne I6COR-
nized Hall but did not know at that time
Of the crime which he is alleged to have
committed.
The day following the murder an In
quest was held at the scene OF the crime
and was concluded in Monson. The YER
dict which the jury returned was: "Al-
exander Mckinney met his death by two
balls from rifle in the hands of Edwin
B. Hall, on the south shore of Lake
Onawa."
Hall has been a wanderer ever since he
left Maine. He has been heard from
several times, the last reports of his
whereabouts being received by the au-
thorities in Maine In 1896, when 1t was
reported that he was at Orlando, Fla.
When he left Maine he struck for the
west and nothing was heard from him
for long time. Later he was reported
to have been q sailor on Bath built

IT CANNOT UNDERSTAND.

1t does not require a microscope to de-
tect the keen disappointment felt by the
Anaconda Standard over the manner in
which the Clark verdict has been receiv-
cd by the people Of Montana.
1t is visible to the naked eye.
Aside from the wing of the democracy
which it represents. and which for per-
sopal reasons rejoices over the report Of
the committee, an unmistakable feeling
OF regret is manifested in all quarters Of
the state.
This is an unpleasant sight for the
Standard to witness, after having shed
and the realization that it's efforts to pur-
ify the politics of Montana fall unappre-
ciated upon he public heart, in the hour
of its supposed triumph, is enough to
justify the %erankiness so ably manifest
ed by that organ from day to day.
! Apparently the Standard has yet to
learn the important fact that abnormal
political conditions in this state have
taught the people to measure crimes less
BY their character than by their conse-
quences.
Thousands of men who believe that
money was illegally used to promote the
political ambitions of Mr.. Clark. and who
do not for one moment dispute he moral
rectitudeo of the committee which returned
a ycrl;o4 oroipcf hin, n~+or4o;, n ,o,,ol
higher respect for the togaless senator
than for those who drove him over the
political deadline in order to still more
firmly fasten their own clutches upon the
throat of the Montana public.
They insist that if Mr.. Clark be guilty
of all the crimes scheduled against him
by his enemies in this state, and is DEEM
ed unworthy to sit in the senatorial sane
tuary at Washington, he has much less
to answer for before the bar of public
opinion that have his %accusers.
Great as the allegations against him
may be, those against his accusers are
greater. when measured by the possibili-
ties of crime.
While the acts of one man cannot be
condoned on the theory than another mar
has committed more grievous offenses
against the law, nevertheless public SYM
pathy is seldom attuned to the idea of
furnishing the lesser offender upon the
public cutlery of the greater.
There is a moral incongruity in situa-
tions of this type that appeals with ire
sistible force to the public sense of fair
play.
There is not an intelligent man in the
state of Montana who does not know that
the Anaconda wing of the democracy is a
greater menace to the life, liberty and
happiness of our people. than all the gold
which w A.. Clark could pour into the
hungry laps of the mitted scrubs who
pass for local statesmen in the councils
OF the democracy.

BOSS RULE MUST END.

If the long-drawn democratic feud
3ublic should learn, it is the necessity Of
eliminating boss rule from the politics Of
s3lis state. Regardless Of when, where
~ how rulership of this type manifests
itself it's tendencies are demoralizing and
it's ends destructive Of good government
For years past the democratic party has
been the custodian Of boss rulership in

The political conditions existent N this

had to expose the appalling rottenness

Compared with such fellows, Clark can
wear his certificate of senatorial eject

state as a model of political purity.

THE STATUS OF WEBSTER DAVIS

Salt Lake Tribune: We suspect that
the: democratic press will be a little bit
shy about fully indorsing the state
ments made by Webster Davis in his
prepared address on the Boer-English
war. He had a doubtful reputation in
Kansas City. Some of his acts as may
or of that place were slightly clouded.
But ne has an immense mouth and can
talk and he did much stumping for the
