AND E YOU ARE.
Evidently Judge Purnell Got His
Ire Up.

An interesting bit of correspond
ence between Judge L. r. Purnell
and Senator F. NJ. Simmons, apropos
of the recent article by Senator Sim
mons in regard to an alleged Repub-
lican scheme to set aside the consti-
tutional amendment, has been made
public. The correspondence is self
explanatory and is as follows:
Raleigh, N. c., July ?, 1902.
Hon. F. M. Simmons, Raleigh, n. c.
Dear Sir: In the morning papers,
wired from Washington, there APP
pears what purports to be a statement
authorized by you in which / find
the following language: "The sue
cess of this scheme requires also the
prostitution of the judiciary for pure
ly partisan purposes, but Republican
oficialism in North Carolina is a
close corporation and this part of the
program presents no practical diff
culties."
Liz pICCCO1AS p2IU VI Tx ot1OO-
ment makes the language applicable
alone to the federal Judiciary. 1 de-
sire to know if you are properly re-
ported in this language and respect
fully request an answer. AS a prac-
ticing attorney in the courts of this
district, hence an officer of the court,
I have a right to ask this.
Very truly yours,
THOMAS r. PURNELL.

Raleigh, n. c., July 5, 1902.
Hon. T. r. Purnell, Raleigh, n. c.
Dear Sir: 1 have the honor to &C
knowledge the receipt of your recent
letter and to say after reading my
interview to which you refer, it
seemed to me the language used in
that interview was liable to an inter-
probation which [ did not intend
should be given it and it was a pleas
ure to me to give out an interview
which appeared in yesterdays News
and Observer, which you have doubt
/ less read, and which makes it clear
that I intended to say that in the
opinion of the Republican managers
a decision in their favor was conf
IDENTIFY expected and not that the
courts were parties to the conspiracy.
I am, Yours truly,

DURAND'S BROTHER TO RUN
Michigan Democratic Central Com
mIttee selects Him ms Nominee
for Governor.

DETROIT, Sept. 30.-hfter an animated
discussion lasting nearly three hours this
afternoon the democratic central commit
tee selected L. T. Durand as the party's
man for governor. The nomination was
made necessary by the withdrawal Of George
II. Durand Of Flint. a brother OF today's
nominee. Judge Durand was stricken with
paralysis five weeks ago and his condition
has remained such that all thought OF his
going through a campaign or filling the
office Of governor had to be abandoned.
The fight today lay between the gold
democrats, who favored l.. T. Durand, and
the silver leaders, who wanted to nominate
State Senator Helme OF Adrian, Charles r.
Sigh of Grand Rapids or some other dem
ocrat who had come out as a silver man in
1896. Helme's friends stood by his dec
~laration that the state convention should
be convened to fill Judge Durand's place
on the ticket, and as he had declared that
ne would not accept a nomination at the
hands Of the committee his name was not
presented today. On the second formal ball
lot the committee stood IA for Durand and
10 for Sigh, the nomination OF Durand be-
ing thereafter made unanimous.

south Dakota Man Hanged.

SIOUX FALLS, s. ID Sept. SO.-(spe-
cial.)-Information has reached the state
to the effect that John Shea, who formerly
lived in western South Dakota, where he
had a wide acquaintance, was hanged a few
days ago at ~Alamgarda, New Mexico. for
the murder Of a man named Dan Shea, a
companion who was travelling with him.
Although the names are the same, the
victim was not a relative OF the murderer.
It appears that the two men. with several
others, went from Victor to New Mexico,
and worked in various mining camps in
that region. On the day before the muir
der the two men were occupying a cabin
in a small camp a few miles from Alam-
garda. The day Of the murder Shea APP
peared in a saloon in the camp, and short
ly after his arrival the cabin where him
self and victim lived was seen to be on
fire. Before the people from town could
reach the scene the building was consumed.
The charred remains OF Dan Shea were
found in the ruins of the cabin. In the
skull was an ugly hole. John Shea was ar
rested, tried and found guilty of killing his
companion, and the hanging followed.

In Afternoon Hearing Before County

COLORADO SPRINGS. Colo. Sept. To-
!. Harry Stratton announced this afternoon
that he had been approached by one OF the
executors appointed by his father in the
viii, with a proposition to compromise the
contest case and had answered that he
would withdraw his suit upon a settlement
basis Of $1,000, 900. Attorneys for the ex-
e%cutors, administrator and the son have
been in conference nearly all day and the
announcement OF young Stratton is believed
to be the~conclusion that has been arrived
at.
Proceedings against the executors have
been postponed. At 2 o'clock, the time APP
pointed for the executors to come in be-
fore Judge Orr, none Of them had appeared,
nor for ar hour thereafter. Later in the
day the attorneys for the administrator
filed a reply to the sensational answer OF
the executors charging conspiracy on the
part Of the administrators. Messrs. Black
mer, Hamlin and Dimes vigorously deny
the charges Of footing the estate"
At 8 o'clock the entire matter was taken
out Of the county court and transferred to
the district court on a writ Of tcertiorarl,
issued by Judge Cunningham Of the district
court. This writ was secured by the ex-
ecutors and was agreed to by stipulation

the appointment OF administrators by
Judge Orr, and further, that the appoint
