SEEK PARDON FOR
INDIAN MURDERER
WHITE CITIZENS OF NEVADA IN

Girl Was His Own Stepdaughter-

but May Secure a Pardon.

New York Sun Special Service.
Carson, New, Dec. 29.-Entire Ne
yada officialdom, press, clergy and
citizens of all classes is working to
save the life of an Indian boy Of 16,
who is under sentence to be hanged
Jan. %, 1904, for killing white rene
gade, who tried to steal his dusky
sweetheart. The story is one Of un-
usual color, even in border life. pre-
senting the only case on record in
which the White population of the
state is united in trying to preserve
the life of an Indian.
Conchi is the nae Of the boy, and
he is Plute of 16 years. The man
he killed was known as wild Bill''
Williams, who fed to the Piute reser-
Vation few years ago to escape pun
isnment for horse stealing. He did
not abandon his criminal life when he
obtained refuge, but the Indians were
not the ones to surrender him to JUS
tice, tho his immunity was chiefly due
to his hardness with 'shoOtin'
irons Besides, he took for a sauaw
one Of their own tribe-the mother
Of Conchis sweetheart.
From that day Conchi's troubles
began. His lesson that the path of
true love never runs smoothly was
quickly learned; From the mother
Conchi persisted in his wooirs, and,
like true lover, endured both con-
tumely and injustice. In order to be
near his beloved he worked for
weeks. and even months, for Williams,
and only WOnderlngly shrugged his
shoulders when he was refused pay
by the desperado.
Killed as He Slept.
Finally the crisis came Resolved
TO have the girl, Williams ordered
80
death A few weeks later Williams
vent to a neighboring ranch and
Co1ch1 followed him They ate din
ner together. and then. having again
warned the youth to beware Of death
if he persisted in his wooing, Will
1iams calmly went to sleep on the
porch. He never awoke, for Conchi,
goaded to frenzy, seized the desper-
ado's own rifle and instantly killed
him. His Indian conscience acquitted
him Of any wrong, for how else, he
reasoned, could be obtain justice from
the white man?
Conchi calmly went home, told of
his deed, and quietly waited for the
officers. who, he was told, would come
for him. When taken into court at
Phoebe, he told his pathetic story in
his simple manner, but his lawyer had
instructed him to plead guilty, and
therefore the judge had no recourse
save in the sentence to hang.
Now Conchi rests in his cell, won
dering why he is going to die, while
influential and uninfuential white Ne
vada is working to save him. There
is every prospect that the board Of
pardons will grant the appeal, and,
if so, it Is the intention to send the
dusky lover to the state Indian school
to learn more about the white man
and his laws before he espouses his
equally dusky sweetheart.
