No Pardon for Peters.

Denver.-At a special meeting Fri
day the Board of Pardons refused to
pardon Charles o. Peters, murderer OF
Mrs. Amanda Youngblood, now under
sentence to die the week beginning
May Goth. The action of the board was
unanimous and no hope of commuta-
ton even was given. However, Peters
will not hang as long as there is any
question of his sanity.
Various petitions for commutation
having failed before, friends of Peters
in OHIO sent Mr.. Mouton here last
week TO ask for a release of Peters on
the ground that he was insane. II. A.
Lindsey, district attorney who prose
cuted the trial. was in favor of COM
mutation and Judge Palmer. who pre-
sided at the trial, signed the petition
for a pardon. Mr.. Moulton said after
the pardon was refused that he felt
all possible had been done.

ROBBERY AND MURDER.
Denver Man Killed in Presence of His
Family.

Denver.-Maurice l.. Caplan, thirty
one years old, of 1419 East Sixteenth
avenue. was shot and killed by high
wayman at $3.50 O'Clock Friday night
in the presence of his wife. his little
daughter, Ruth, and friend, Nathan
Striker, of 1887 Emerson street. The
highwayman secured $1230, which was
turned over to him by the wife of the
murdered man. The robber, however,
contented for the full amount which
he seemed to know was on Captains
person or in the house.
When searched after the shooting
$3.50 was found in Captains pockets by
Police Surgeon McGillivray. Caplan
was proprietor of the Denver Auction
Company at Eighteenth and Broadway
Caplan resisted the robber rather
than to give up the money he had in
his pockets and raised a footstool to
protect himself. While the footstool
was in the air the highwayman shot
Caplan through the heart and he
dropped dead.
Fifteen minutes after the shooting

which was furnished by the little sew
en-year-old daughter of the murdered
man.
The little girl described him as a
man about five feet seven inches in
height, with a dark mustache and com
plexion and wearing dark clothes. She
said that the white handkerchief which
he had tied about his face when he en-
tered the room dropped down around
his neck and she is sure that she could
identify him were she to see him again.

thirteen minutes after IL o'clock to-

on the pretty proverb, Happy is the
