Moody County People, It Is Said, Bit

Mar VividIy Recalling the
Brutality of the Crime.

1~Tlandrea, S. d, Sept. 6.-Notice has
been published in the Flandreau En-
terprise that Edward Wilson, con-
victed of the murder of Otto Solquist in
1882, will ask the board of pardons TO
release him from the penitentiary or
rather to commute his sentence from
life to twenty years in the penitentiary.
If this Communication is granted it will
practically release him from the prison
at once as he will be allowed certain
time for good behavior. 1t will be
claimed by his attorneys that a doctor
has decided that Wilson has only six
months TO live and that this will give
him only enough time to see his moth
er and return to his native state and
prepare for death.
Crime Wa Brutal.
The murder for which Wilson was
convicted was one of the worst that
was ever committed in the state. 1t
appears that Wilson and the boy Sol

secured 2 monkey wrench which he
iSecreted under his bib oyeralls and car
.ried same all day and on the way home
that evening when out upon a vacant
section OF land Wilson beat the boy to
death with the monkey wrench and
came back TO town. The next day Will
son returned to the place where they
were working and tried to get the BOYS
clothing n the rest of the money he
mad, saying that the boy had gone to
Sioux City and told him to get his
money and clothes. This led to sus-
picion and the friends of the boy fol-
lowed Wilson and arrested him. Upon
him was found the money that Soluuist
had, together with Solauist's watch ana
other property. y search was made
Tor the body which was found and the
most brutal murder was unearthed that
Md ever been committed in the state.
Tried in Lincoln County.
Inc case was taken to Lincoln coun-
" 1or tllai and he was found guilty and
sentenced to life imprisonment. There
rs no doubt OF his guilt. and at the
time OF his conviction it was d wonder
even his lawyers that he was nor
hanged and SO pleased were they at
the outcome of the trial that not even a !
