WARDEN OF PENITENTIARY RE-
CEIVES MAN SENTENCED TO
DEATH WITHIN THE
WALLS OF PRISON.
Law Provides That He Shall Be Kept
There Until Sentence Is Executed,
but Is Silent as to Number of
Important Details, and Officials Of
State Institution Are at Sea-
Lessee Is Seeking Light.
Special to The Republican.


Rawlins, Wyo., June 2S.-Warden
Helm of the ~penitentiary has not ex-
actly an elephant on his hands, but
an elephant would be an improvement
under the peculiar circumstances. The
sheriff of Crook county this morning
delivered to the warden the person of
Noah T. Richardson, who was convict,
ed at Sundance of the murder of Allie
Means, d fellow COW p%uncher, and
sentenced to hang August 3 for the
crime. The case was called in the
supreme court day before yesterday,
when a stay of execution was granted
that the court might consider the ap-
plication for a new trial.
To Be Hanged in Prison.
Richardson is the first a convict
ed in the state of a capital offense
since the law went into effect provid
ing for the carrying out the sentence
of death within the walls of the pen,
i~tentiary. The law provides that as
soon as the man has been sentenced
he shall be turned over to the warden
of the penitentiary and safely kept
until the date fixed for the execution,
when he shall be hanged between the
hours of midnight and daylight.
Officials at Sea.
There is a somewhat lame feature
of the law which is bothering not only
the warden here, but the lessee, Otto
Gramm, at Laramie, who vas inform
ed by long distance telephone this
morning of the arrival of Richardson,
The law does not provide how such
prisoners shall be kept or treated. II
is certain that they shall not be re
quired to don the prison uniform anC
kept on prison fare. The warden, un
der the construction now given tn,
matter, should keep such prisoners IL
rooms apart from the regular con
victs, fed on different food and giver
better surroundings than he accord:
the regulars sentenced convicts.
Place Of Execution.
Another thing that worries Mr.
Helm is the place of execution. II
Richardson is hanged in the eel
house, there will be such a turmoil.

amount to a mutiny, and it would be
difficult to ever get prisoners willingly
back into that cell house. To execute
the man in the chapel would be to
close the doors to the willing entrance
of a single man in the prison, and to
hang him in the basement would be
practically an impossibility.
AS far as seer now, the only thing
left is to build a temporary place of
execution in the yard, which could be
removed after the carrying out of the
sentence. Then it would be necessary
to smuggle the condemned man out
of the prison to prevent commotion
among the prisoners.
Lessee Looking for Light.
Mr.. Gramm stated this morning that
he would lay the matter before the at
torney general at Cheyenne and get
his opinion of the status of the warden
and the lessee in the matter. No pro-
vision is made in the law for the pay
ment of the expenses of the con-
demned mans keeping in the peni-
Tertiary, but some incline to the be-
lief that such costs should be taxed
against the county where the convic.
ton results.
Will Try to Buy Gallows.
Hereafter all executions are to oc.
cur in the state prison. and ono the
warden has the Inconsistencies clear,
ed up, he can proceed intelligently. He
wants to know how to proceed. An
effort is being made to buy the gallows
used at Cheyenne for the execution
of Tom Horn and keep it at the pen
itentiary. as the county will no longer
need it. Mr.. Gramm informed the
warden today that he would endeavor
to rrange all the details. The date
of Richardson's execution, if 1t is

that there had been mo trouble in
which the police had any interest" he
was taken to a hospital. A few mo-
ments later he died.
Criminal Life on East Side.
The Petto case illustrates one of
the most peculiar phases of criminal
life on the east side, where gangs"
are in continual feuds and where muir
ders are frequent, but the slayers are
fseldom caught, because of the refusal
of the persons assaulted to assist the
police.

BETTER ROADS
Is What the County Court Is
to Have In the Future.

One of the most important acts at
the late meeting of the Fiscal court
was abolishing the old system of
working the roads of the county,
which doubtless, ought to have been
done years ago. Under the new
system overseers will practically
have nothing to do. They no longer
have the power to warn hands or
employ teams. 1t is said that re-
pairing the roads has cost yearly
sos, 900, and the public knows too
well tlfe. wretched condition Of some
of the highways
Under the new system Road SUI
pervisor Murphy, who has already
manifested his peculiar fitness for
the position, will vastly improve
things all over the county. Of
course it will take time to do this,
but he is thoroughly alive as to his
duties and has the backing of every
magistrate comprising the court.
In order to do this, County Attorney
Duffy and Justices Parker, Morris
and Clark, who were appointed by
the court to assist Supervisor Muir
ply in the beginning Of his work,
this week purchased two of the
most approved road scrarers and re-
pairs for the old ones. Thoroughly
equipped as he now is Supt. Murphy
will at once commence active opera
tions in time to accomplish as much
as possible during the time that the
weather will be favorable.
