Murderer Of Oliver Dotson is
Sentenced
WITNESS WEIRD TALE
OF the Conspiracy to Murder Hatched in
the State Peniteniary at
Deer Lodge.

Special Dispatch to the Bee:
Deer Lodge, July Thames Near
thur, alias Fleming, convicted of the
murder of Oliver Dotson, was today
sentenced to be hanged September 6.
Except for a slight change of the
color OF his face, the condemned man
exhibited no sign of emotion when the
sentence was pronounced, and when
asked II he had anything to say, re-
piled, Nothing, except that I am an
innocent man."
Clinton DOtson, accused of conspir-
ing with Macarthur to kill his own ia
jury was secured by o'clock. The
prisoner is dogged and sullen and
silent, but was visibly affected by
the testimony of Ellis Perninger, who
told the jury that just prior to the
murder Of Oliver Dotson, his son,
Clinton, the defendant, had explained
to him the details Of the conspiracy
anu that Macarthur on his release
from prison was going to Washington
Gulch to kill the elder Dotson and
leave on the body pretended con-
fession of the latter that would ex-
onerate Clinton, Persenger and Oil
yer Benson in their share of having
killed Eugene Culliame. Clinton had
also told Persinger that Macarthur
was to receive $4,000 for the job. The
witness was unshaken in his testi-
mony by vigorous cross-examina-
tion. The trial will be resumed to-
morrow, with Judge Clements of
Helena presiding.

for a time by an angry mob, protest
ing against the decision of the judges
in giving the third race to Cayenne

KINGS CORONATION PLANS.
Americans Already Hiring Houses for
the Event Next June.

1t is expected that King Edwards
coronation will take place on June 25,
next year, and that a longer process
sion will be held on the following day
to crafty the populace. The latter is
now being considered by the court au-
thorities.
A curious feature of the coronation
preparation, according to the Daily
Mail, is the renting of flats and houses
by wealthy Americans, who are taking
them from Michaelmas, 1901, to
Mlchaelmas, 1902. One West End
house agent has rented fashionably
situated flats and houses to Ameri-
cans.
Coronation syndicates have already
begun proposing to purchase seats in
windows and stand spaces.
One circular asks for $25O,OOO and
another for $5O0,0OO. promising enor-
nous profits. The hotel keepers are
divided concerning prices. Some sup
port maintaining normal rates while
others argue that they must be raised
on the ground that other tradesmen
will have big rush and sell more
goods. but hotel cannot hold more
than it's ordinary capacity. Undoubl
edly much money will be spent.
One hundred guineas has already
been paid for a window on the route,
but there is still doubt regarding the
route of the second days procession.
The first procession will only be from
Buckingham palace to Westminster
and return. AS regards the second
days procession the Diamond Jubilee
route is possible. 1t is probable that
this route will be extended, but the
executive committee of the lords of
the council, which is considering the
matter. can only submit its plans to
the king. who has absolute choice in
the matter.

maker Is probably The wife Of the COM

there is no authentic information. II Is
generally believed thtat she has de-
liyered to Lord Miner or to Mr.. Cham
berlain some message from Gen, Botha
and other Boer leaders, and that Mr.
hruger has also been consulted. south
African rumors respecting an exchange
OF cable communications between the
Boer leaders and Mr. Kruger are less
credible The surrender OF small com
mando at Petersburg Is encouraging
the optimists TO hope that the end Is
close at hand. The judgment Of the
more experienced South Africans Is that
the war viii drag along for several
months and that the only result of pre-
mature peace negotiations will be the
renewal of Boer agitation In England.
