ties in connection with the purchase
IF supplies, ETC., and the fact of the
sale Of the letter box fasteners. to

that on June 80, 1900, Machen with
intent to have his decision and action
as superintendent of free delivery in
regard to a purchase of Croft fasten-
ers, Influenced thereby, did ask OF
the Croft brothers a promise that
they would pay to him 40 per cent. of
any sum which might be received by
them thereafter from the United
States, through the post Office de-
partment in payment of such fas-
teners, the purchase of which might
be procured upon Mr.. Machen's adj
vice and did receive the promise of
the Croft brothers, in accordance

cites that in pursuance of this col

MOrtenSen Execution
sheriff Emery Has Received No
Formal Application From
Ready Slayers."

Sheriff Emery stated today that he
has not as yet considered any of the
details of the execution of Peter Nor
tensen, who is sentenced to be shot on
Nov. 20, for the murder of James r..
Hay. He has not received any formal
applications from men desjrous of being
IN the firing squad which will end
Mortensen's existence, although several
men have remarked in Il jocular way
that they would like to handle one of
the guns that will be used on that oc-
casion. The sheriff says he is not
worrying about the matter, however,
for he won't need any assistance from
outsiders, and further than that, he
believes that, is those who have ex-
pressed such desire should be put to
the test, they would lose their courage
and back down on the proposition 1t
is safe to say that the men who do
handle the guns will be experts so that
there Will be no necessary riddling of
