BLOODY EXECUTION.
Murderer Hanged After Cutting His
Own Throat.

Taos, N Mater having cut his
throat, John Conley, former Denver
deputy sheriff, was dragged uncon.
scious to the scaffold where the little
life that remained in him was choked
out by the hemp rope Monday morn.
ing Before attempting to kill him
self, Conley left letters, in one of which
he said:
Il die a martyr to the inefficient laws
of New Mexico. Only one member OF
the jury that condemned me could un-
derstand English, and the interpreter
told them anything he pleased. No rec
ord OF the testimony was kept by the
court. l am innocent, but powerful in
terests demand my life. l want to
cheat Hagerman's official hangman Of
his fee."
Early Monday morning Conley. with
a penknife he had secreted in his cell,
cut cash clear across his throat and
severed the windpipe. A surgeon was
hastily summoned and stanched the
flow Of blood. AS soon as practicable
thereafter he was dragged to the gal
lows.
The crime for which Conley paid the
penalty with his life was the killing
of James Redding and Charles Purdy
at the Guadalupe placer claims, near
Questa, New Mexico, January 16, 1905.
No one witnessed the shooting. He
made a plea of self-defense. Both Of
the murdered men were under the in
fluence of liquor at the time. Conley
was also hard drinker. but, according
to his own statement, he had taken no
liquor on that day, and this was not
disproved at his trial.
On account of the bitter feeling
against Conley in Taos county among
the American element, his attorneys
took a change of venue to Santa Fe,
where the case was tried on the first
indictment for the killing of Redding
The jury returned the verdict of muir

NEW FOOD LAW

times try to force measures in their

trust is always active to push through
bills drafted in the interest OF that

ness the ant-injunction bill by which
labor unions seek to tie the hands Of
our courts and prevent the issue Of
any order to restrain the members OF
that trust from attacking men or de-
stroying property. Such a bill Is per-
haps the most infamous insult to our
courts and the common people ever
laid before Congress and the Represen-
tatives in Congress must be held to q

selection of food.
Many pure food bills have been in
troduced and some passed by State leg
islaturcs. many have been offered to
Congress, but all thus far seem objec-
tionablr
1t has seemed difficult for politicians
to formulate satisfactory bill that
would protect the common people and
yet avoid harm to honest makers and
prevent endless trouble to retailers.
No govt commission or officer has the
right TO fix food Standards to define
what the people shall and shall not eat,
Tor what agrees with one may not
agree with another. and such act would
deprive the common citizen OF his
personal liberty. The Postum Cereal
Co.. Ltd. perhaps the largest makers
OF prepared foods in the world. have
naturally close knowledge Of the
needs OF the people and the details OF
the business of the purveyors tthe re-
tail sr0cer), and, guided by this expert
ence have prepared a bill for submis
sion to Congress which is intended to
accomplish the desired ends, and mas
much as citizen of the U. S. has a
right TO food protection even when he
enters another State, 1t is deemed
proper that the govt take control of
this matter and provide a national
law to govern all the states. A copy
Of the bill is herewith reproduced.
Sec governs the maker whether
the food is put up in small packages
sealed, or in barrels, boxes or other
wise.
Sec. 2 governs the retailer who may
open a barrel and sell the food in
small quantities. When he puts the
goods into a paper bag he must also
inclose printed copy of the statement
of the maker which was affixed to the
original pkg, and inasmuch as the
retailer cannot undertake to guarantee
the statement of ingredients he must
publish the statement of the makers
and add his own name and address as
a guarantee OF his selling the food as it
is represented to him, which relieves
the retailer Of responsibility of the
truth Of the statement and throws 1t
upon the maker, where it properly be-
longs.
The remaining sections explain them
selves.
The Postum Cereal Co, Ltd, for ex-

expect not only an equivalent for the
cost, but further right to a certainty
as to what he eats. Or he may be will
