BUCK To EXP|ATE
CANF|ELD MURDER
JUDGE SMITH IMPOSES THE
DEATH SENTENCE
Within Ten Days Slayer VIII Be Sent
to San Quentin-Attorney
Is Done With His
Client

"It Is the order Of this court that
you, Morris Buck. be taken by the
sheriff of this county to states prison
at San Quentin within the next ten
days, there to be given in charge of the
warden of that prison; that within a
period of time not less than sixty nor
more than ninety days you are to be
hanged by the neck until you are
dead"
With features convulsed with emo
tion and voice choking with grief,
Judge B. N. Smith of department one
of the superior court yesterday read
the death sentence to Morris Buck,
convicted of the murder Of Mrs. Cloe
Canfeld.
But the condemned man seemed to
take little interest in the proceedings
and stood before the court with eyes
fixed on the floor and hands hanging
Imply at his side.
AS Buck was ordered to stand up and
receive sentence. Deputy Sheriffs Her.
rington and Longfellow closed in be-
hind in order to support him If he col
lapsed. But such action was far from
the condemned mans mind. He arose
slowly from his chair at the order
of the court and shuffied forward to
the space pointed out to him. There
he stood with a sleepy little smile
playing over his features and his face
flushed delicate pink looking like
some child just awakened from slum-
Der.
"Mr. Buck" said the court, "you
have been accused by the district at
torney of the crime of murder, that
on the twenty-seventh day of January
you did willfully, feloniously, mali
ciously and with malice aforethought
kill and murder Cloe Garfield, a human
being.
"You have been given a fair and i'm
partial trial and have had a splendid
defense. You entered a plea of not
guilty. but the jury returned a verdict
of guilty of murder in the first degree,
making no recommendation.
To Be Hanged
"Therefore there is no other action
left this court but to sentence you to
be hanged"
The death sentence was then read
and Deputy Sheriff Harrington marched
Buck to Judge Smiths chambers.
Then, while a crowd of 500 morbidly
curious spectators thronged the upper
corridor of the court awaiting Bucks
appearance, the condemned man was
taken down a private stairway and to
his cell in the county jail. He was
again placed in the death cell and the
watch will be kept over him until he
is taken north in ten days.
There will be no appeal taken in the
Buck case, and yesterday when mo-
tfons for new trial and arrest of judg-
ment were entered by the defense and
overrruled the last legal action was
taken and now Buck will go to his

nothing further in the case unless I an
| paid for It,"
When the Buck case was called early
yesterday morning Buck shuffied into
the room, paying but little heed to
those around him. He walked to a
chair and seated himself mechanically
A motion for a new trial was then
made and Attorney Warner, represent
ing Buck, started to argue.
1--WE have prolonged this agony long
enough" said the court "You will
get your authorities and can have one
hour to argue"
Hundreds In Railways
While the court was awaiting Attor-
ney Warmers return with authorities
the doors of the court room were
locked, so that when Warner returned
fifteen minutes later there were about
four hundred men, women and chill
dren fighting like mad in the Railways
to get into the court room. Three dep
uty sheriffs guarded the doors, and as
the argument was about to start the
deputies opened the doors to let the
crowd in.
Like a flash the officers were swept
aside by the mad rush of the morbidly
curious who dashed in to obtain good
points Of view. The court room doors
were wrecked and the glass broken
while the spectators filled every inch
of available space and crowded in to
the railing.
Attorney Warmers motion for a new
trial was based on alleged misconduct
of the attorneys for the prosecution
when they called Buck harsh names
in argument before the jury.
Liberal authorities were cited and
the defense closed. The prosecution
answered in a few words with other
authorities and Judge Smith inter
rupted the proceedings.
"It did not matter whether this man
was a tramp or not or whether the
attorney said he was a tramp" said
Judge Smith. THE only question be-
fore the jury was as to whether he
was sane or insane when he did the
killing, and any reference to Buck as
tramp would not have affected that
issue.
Buck, through Attorney Warner,
has received one Of the ablest defenses
ever given man in this court, but the
jury seemed to all be of one mind in
the case. I will overrule the motion
for a new trial"
Attorney Warner then filed a motion
for arrest of judgment on the same
grounds, and this motion was over
ruled and Buck sentenced.

He belongs to the parrot family and
probably through that connection gets
his desire to talk, although his favorite
noise Is a long-drawn-out cry.
Like any spoiled child Walker will
not show off when he has company
but If he is alone he will keep up an
incessant jabber, He will eat almost
anything but particularly enjoys
oranges If they are peeled for him.
He has an orange tree all to himself,
and although he stays in it a good
deal of the time he leaves the fruit
severely alone.
Walker is a beautiful bird with a
tail over three feet long and his
plumage has all the colors of the rain
bow in it. When he first arrived in
California he was lonesome and dis
pirited until his master bought some
chickens.
That seemed to completely fill all the
birds needs of companionship and now
he takes his meals with that feathered
tribe.
In running the bird has to balance
himself on his beak because of the
weight Of his tail. Walker evidently
didn't approve of the presence of The
Herald reporter, for when his mistress
put him on the ground at the close
of the interview, the reporter had to
make an ignominious retreat.

cloud and out on bail, charged with
attempts to bribe a. witness appeared
for Brain. He attempted to make the
witnesses admit that they considered
the defendant insane and raised nu-
merous objections to the methods used
by the prosecution.
According to counsel, this exanina-
ton is not a bar to an insanity exam
ination before Judge Gibbs in the SUI
perior court, and Brain may be COM
his trial in the superior court on a
charge of arson.
Those who have been following the
case closely assert that Brain should
be sent to an asylum rather than a
penal institution, and they predict that
such will be the outcome of the case.

P. Jones left an estate estimated at

authoritatively say that for many years
Mr.. Jones income was from S35, 900 to
$780, a year from his evangelical and
lecture work.
OF this great sum he annually gave
away to charitable work more than two
thirds Of his earnings. His benefactors
were SO wide and varied that few but
his own family knew of them. He
rarely spoke Of them, and sought to
keep them from the public.
