Hundreds Of citizens of Franklin and

Story of the Crime.
The statement of the evidence at the
trial, signed by Judge Rudkin, and
presented to the governor, relates that
Bradshaw, then 10 years old, of good
family and previous good conduct and
character, with Kellett, met Nelson at
Pasco. Bradshaw had been employed
off and on as a switchman. Kellett and
Bradshaw, for small sum, agreed to
let Nelson into a box car, so that he
might steal a ride into Whitman coun-
ty Later in the night and before the
car started Kellett suggested to Brad
shaw that Nelson had money and that
they hold him up for it. Bradshaw de-
INJURED and Kellett taxed him with a
lack of courage. Bradshaw agreed.
They went to the car, Kellett helped
Bradshaw in and then shut the door.
Kellett remaining outside. Bradshaw's
testimony alone tells the story of what
at the trial, that Bradshaw ordered
Nelson to throw up his hands, that
Nelson started for Bradshaw with
what Bradshaw thought was a weap-
on. that in his excitement he fired. No
attempt was made to deny the crime
or the attempted robbery.
KeIIett Was More Guilty.
The various petitions, letters, recon-
mendations and pleas set forth that
Kellett was the more guilty, that the
trial judge so stated, that Bradshaw
was youthful, of good previous char
acter and reputation but easily led and
that consequently he is fit subject for
communication. James Mcintyre, mayor
of Pasco, in his letter on the subject,
said:
81 think I a msafe in assuming that
| it is the universal sentiment of the
people of this county that, considering
Bradshaw's youth at the time of the
commission of the crime, his previous
good reputation, and the fact that his
partner in crime escaped with so light
| punishment, that mercy and even

Governor Mead at Olympia this
morning officially commuted the death
sentence pronounced on Oscar Brad
shaw to Imprisonment for life. News
of the governors action was conveyed
10 WalIa Walla in a private dispatch
shortly before noon today and was re-
ceived with considerable satisfaction
by friends of the youthful murderer
who have been actively engaged in
circulating petitions in his behalf and
otherwise assisting the Bradshaw
family in saving him from an ignoble
death on the gallowS.
Bradshaw was sentenced to be
hanged on the morning of August 3.
The news that Governor Mead had
commuted his sentence ii life impris-
onment will probably be conveyed to
Bradshaw this afternoon. An official
hearing of the Bradshaw case came up
before Governor Mead Wednesday
when Bradshaw's attorney, w. T. Do
veil. appeared before the executive and
formally presented the case, at the
same time filing with the governor nu-
morous recommendations and petitions
that have been freely signed by people
in Walla Walla and Franklin coun-
ties The governor stated that he
would take the case under advisement
until today. when a decision would be
announced. The matter was finally
settled this morning by the governor
committing the death sentence to life
Imprisonment.
Strong Showing.
The showing and official recommends
tons in Bradshaw's case were un-
usually complete. They included
strong recommendations from the pros
ecuting attorney who conducted the
case, the trial judge, Frank H. Rud-
kin, now of the supreme bench, and

The police. 1t is said, ara working on
evidence that may later show the dis
appearance of Cecil Brittan was the re-
suit of a plot concocted by three men,
two of them whom are ex-convicts, to
kidnap some child from the Toll Gate
and hold it for ransom. The plans, it
is said, were laid in Walla Walla sa-
loon some weeks ago. The Toll Gate
was selected on account of its popular
ity as a camping place and also be-
cause the rugged mountains in that
vicinity would afford ample protection
to the men from officers in the event
they were followed before negotia-
tions for a reward could be opened up.
Three Men in Plot.
The two mysterious men seen in the
vicinity of the Toll Gate the next day
after the boy disappeared are said to
be two of the three men in the plot.
They left for the Toll Gate country
about 10 days ago and it is believed
they have been out in the brush
close to camp waiting for an opportu-
nifty to pick up any child that might
stray away far enough to make the
kidnapping a success.
It is surmised that the third man OF
the party has been making his head
quarters at the Toll Gate and has kept
his pals informed as to the movements
of the searching parties ever since last
Sunday.
1t is believed that the kidnappers
have been kept moving from one spot
TO another to evade the searching par
ties and that this accounts for the
puzzling actions Of the dogs when
hunting for the trail The dogs would
at times give every evidence of being
on the boys track when the scent
would be suddenly lost, only to be taken
up at some other point as if the boy
had been carried through the timber.
Searchers Discouraged.
Further search of the mountains In
the vicinity of Spout Springs this
morning failed to reveal any trace OF
little Cecil Britain, who disappeared
from the Toll Gate last Sunday even
ing. and the theory is CAST gaining
that the little boy is in the
hands of unknown men wha are hold
ing him for a reward.
So strong is this opinion that the
search was temporarily abandoned at
noon and Draper with the dogs re-
turned to the Toll Gate for further
conference with leaders of the rescue
parties.
A telephone message from the Toll
Gate at 2.3O o'clock this afternoon stat
ed that it was impossible to say at
that time what other course would De

the boy. The dogs were unable to pick
