and with whom he had many running
fights and narrow escapes.
Some three years ago he came to
Vernon county and rented a farm
near this city. The officers learned
that Evans was an assumed name
and that Graves was wanted in Ken
lucky and was a fugitive from justice
A brace OF revolvers and a shotgun

GARTRELL SENTENCED.
Date Of Execution, Thursday, Feb'y
18th, 1902.

Date of Execution, Thursday, Feb'y
18th, 1902.
Judge Graves pronounced sentence
of death on Dr. ]. L. Gartrell, for the
murder of D. B. Donegan, on last
Saturday, fixing the date OF execu-
ton for Thursday, February 18th,
1902.
The motion for new trial was based
principally on the grounds of APP
plause by the audience at the close OF
the prosecutors address, when he
denounced Gartrell and demanded
his conviction, although number of
other reasons we're assigned why a
new trial should be granted, In ov-
srruling the motion Judge Graves re-
called that at the time OF applause
the court had rebuked the rioters,
and ordered the sheriff to lock the
doors and arrest and bring 81 who
had engaged in the demonstration
before him. That by such prompt
action the court endeavored as far as
possible to overcome any influence
such applause might have on the
Jury. If that we're grounds for a new
trial, the same kind of demonstra.
ton could be arranged for in every
desperate criminal case and the ends
of justice be thereby perverted.
Gartrell was then ordered to stand
up and Judge Graves asked him il he
had anything to say why sentence
should not be passed.
The prisoners voice was clear and
firm, through his eyes were moist and
he exhibited more feeling than he had
heretofore shown, when he said:
"In the first place, if your honor
i please, am not guilty. in the sec
ond place feel that was unprepar-
ed to go into this trial at the time,
more so, | apprehend, that your
honor had any idea Of. And that is
about all that | propose to say in
reference to the matter"
Court: "My Judgment is, DR.. Gar
tFe4 that peHf trial HAS been ea ia iiF
one, that the verdict has been render
ed by representative jury OF Bates
county. l, therefore, under the direc-
tions of the statute, fix your punish.
