Governor Hager-
man Refused to
Aid Conley
BY GRANTING A REPR|EVt
All is in Readiness at Taos
for Carrying Out Sen
tence Of Court.

John Conley, who was convicted OF
the murder of James Redding near
Questa January lG, 1905 and, who was
sentenced to be hanged Friday Feb
ruary 16. will pay the fullest penalty
of the law for his crime. Governor
Herbert j. Hagerman last night told
the condemned mans legal representa-
tives that he declined to grant the re
prieve for which they petitioned The
sentence OF death Is to be carried out
at Taos, Taos County, where the doom
ed man is now In jail closely guarded
day and night. The scaffold upon
which he Is to die has already been
CONSTRUCTED The attorneys interested
In the case were practically assured
that he would not grant the reprieve
Conley has not yet been Informed that
all efforts in his behalf have failed.
In speaking of the case Governor
Hagerman said
Reasons.
81 listened closely to all points
brought to my attention In Conley's be"
half They were principally technical
tiles of law of interest only to members
of the legal fraternity. After hearing
them and carefully noting each, | Sc
|cured the advise Of several attorneys
and talked the case over with them
The result was that could find nothing
sufficient to change my former deci
sion. Conley had fair and impartial
trial and was found guilty of the great
crime Of murder in the first degree,
He was sentenced to be hanged and
the law must be enforced. There Is
nothing of sufficient weight to warrant
my interference"
In his written reply to the attorneys.
Governor Hagerman states that he has
|carefully examined the records OF the
trial and that he does not think, even
should he grant reprieve, that the
attorneys could secure reversal of
the verdict Of the lower court, by car
rying the case to the Supreme Court.
Attorney Departs.
Attorney Lusk departed for his home
lat Taos today. He probably will
have the unpleasant task Of telling
Conley that he must die.
John Conley at the time OF the mur-
der of Redding also shot and killed
Charles Purdy. 70 years old. He had
gone to his claim in the Guadalupe pla
GERS near Questa with the old man and
boy to do assessment work. A quarrel
arose over certain terms In the con
tract and the shooting then took place,
Conley fled to Red River, passing
through Questa, and surrendered about
"a hours later to a posse sent in pur-
suit.
| Conley's plea In court was self de.
fense. He said that he was attacked
by Purdy with an ak and that he ran
to his horse He said the boy attempt
ed to cut off his retreat and poised an
ak as though to throw it, He then be-
gan shooting.
From circumstances, however, the
court inferred that Purdy was killed
during the quarrel and that Conley shot
Redding while the boy was fleeing to-
ward the horses In an attempt to es-
|cape. Conley was not tried for the
Staying of Purdy, as he was found
|guilty of killing Redding.
