A SHADOW OF DOUBT.
To the Inter Mountain:

To the Inter Mountain:
In regard to the confession of Joseph
C. Hurst who was hanged in Glendive
the 3Oth inst, that Rev. Warman handed
the press for publication, it is one Of the
most cowardly pieces of work I have
ever heard of.
II Joseph Hurst made full confession
of the murder of Cavanaugh to Rev.
Warman it was his place to have Hurst
put it in writing or If Hurst would not
put it in writing then he should have
called in a Witness; failing either he
should have brought it to light before the
execution. Failing to do this he should
have kept it to himself, instead Of watt
ing until after the execution SO that the
dead man could have no chance for de-
NAL and to make his wife and relatives
more trouble, to grieve and mourn over;
also to leave doubt in the public opin-
ion as to the truth of his confession.
AS it is now we only have the word
for it of Rev. Warman. 1t looks rather
doubtful for man to make confession
take the faith of the Catholic church.
There is still a shadow of doubt in
my mind as this mans guilt. No
doubt Rev. Warman never closed his
eyes in slumber on that night waiting for
the doctors to pronounce the doomed
man dead that he might give in his state-
ments. No doubt he is proud to stand
up and say that he is the only one that
can testify that Hurst made a full con.
fession to- with no one to fear but the
loved ones left behind to mourn.

Alternative Writ of Mandate
Against City Clerk.
JUDGE LlNDSAY'S ORDER
Attorneys 1ol Both Side Argue the
Proposition in
Court.

Joseph p. Callan, the city clerk, was
ordered by Judge Lindsay today to place
the name of Richard j. Oates on the re-
publican ticket as the candidate for al
derman in the Second Ward.
Yesterday Mr.. Oates filed his nomina-
tion with Mr.. Callan, but the latter re-
fused to honor it, claiming that the filing
was too late-that it had not been made
within the three days before the election,
which the law requires.
This morning the republican city CEN
trail committee sued out an alternative
writ Of mandate against Callan, the
document directing the defendant to
either place the name of Mr.. Oates on the
show cause why he refused to do so. The
writ was signed by Judge Lindsay.
At the appointed hour Callan and his
attorneys, John J. Mediation and c. f.
Kelly, were on hand, as We're also Mr..
oates and his attorneys, Judge Dewitt
and J. N. Kirk.
The proceedings opened with the filing
of a motion by the Callan side to dismiss
the writ, basing the action upon the con-
tents of the affidavit of Oates in which
Oats had set forth the facts in the case.
The defense maintained that the declina-
tion of Robert TAFT, whose place on the
ticket Mr.. Oates had taken was void; that
the city central committee had no power
to fill vacancies on the ticket after the
time allowed by law had expired. The
relatOr. the defense alleged, had asked
the court to do a specific thing-asked it
to compel the city clerk to place his
name on the ticket without showing
whether he was entitled to it, He had
shown himself to be taxpayer, a resi-
dent of the county fourteen years and of
the ward two years, but in no place in his
affidavit had he demonstrated himself a
freeholder.
Mr.. Kirk asked that Mr.. Oates be per-
mitted to insert in the affidavit the fact
that he was taxpaying freeholder and
verify 1T, but the other side objected.
The amendment was allowed to be
made.
Mr.. Kirk then asked for permission tc
further amend by inserting the fact thai
Mr., Oats was a citizen of the United
States and the request was granted.
In presenting the side of the relator,
Mr.. Kirk stated that there was only one
question to be determined in regard to
the matter and that was, would the GER
tihcate OF Mr.. Oats have to be filed three
full days prior to the election in the face
of the fact that Mr.. Oates had been at a
late date selected to fill the vacancy
caused by the declination of Mr.. TAFT, OF
would such filing, under the circum-
stances, possess the same rights and
privileges as would filing made within
the law governing declinations and filings
made by committee by the withdrawal
of candidates at late day prior to cleo
ton,
