ored. were hanged today in the Allegheny
county jail yard. Both men had an am
pie supply of nerve. They were hanged
separately. Hartley going to the gallows at
:03 and was cut down at 1919 Death was
due to broken neck. Edwards mounted
the scaffiod at 1923 am. and was cut down
at 10:43, dying from stransulation. While
on the gallows Edwards said TO the deputy:
Put the rope on properly. boss, so it won t
strange me; tighten 1t up good and
strong"
Hartley asked that he be not hanged
with a negro. he feared his family would
have to bear the disgrace of the public hav-
ing the impression that he committed crime
with negro. His request was granted by
Sheriff Dickson.
Hartley killed Ernest o. Johnston in a
barber shop on the South Side on March
IS, 1908 The trouble grew out of some re-
marks Johnston was alleged to have made
about Hartley's wife.
Edwards. the negro, pleaded guilty to the
killing of Clinton Banks, a negro, on July
4, 1903, at Borland. The men quarreled
over girl. Edwards said when the death
warrant was read to him, that he was not
guilty. saying he had shot at, but did not
hit Banks.

LeIshman & Co. Market Letter.


New York. October 2l.--The cotton mar
ket today showed a rather narrow
range of prices taken as a whole but the
tendency was lower and closing figures
were to IL points under the previous
evening.
The highest point on December was 90,
the lowest was 9.53 and the close was
9.6l to 9.5S. The Garner cables reflected
nervousness over the political situation
with the result that futures were lower
than expected while spots were ten points
off with sales of COCO bales. The later
advices from abroad however, showed
more cheerful sentiment regarding the
threatening political outlook and there
was recovery of the greater part of
loss with the close firm al the best point
of the day
Importers were cfedlted with being
heavy buyers and continental interests
were likewise cala to be taking cotton
very freely on the break.
There was frost In the Oklahoma, Lit
tie Rock and Memphis districts but the
temperatures were not low enough to oc-
casion much damage and the map was
rendered bearish because Of the absence
of rain of Importance. The movement of
the crop was light while exports were
very large, but these phazes of the situa-
ton attracted little attention and almost
no aggressive support. The ginners re-
port does not bear out the theory that
the amount ginned up to October is, will
be seven million bales in the final report
In fact 1t hardly points to more than
six million bales There is little demand
for spot cotton, however, and the bears
are much better organized than the bulls
Thus making 1t look like a reasonable
proposition to take the selling side on the
firm periods from time to time
