AMERICANS TO Be SHOT.
UNLESS AN APPEAL TO PRESI-
DENT DIAZ IS MADE
Convicted Of Numbering Two Men For
Life Insurance Money Ordered That
They Be Shot TO Death.
CASE IN THE COURTS FOR THE
PAST FIVE YEARS.

Chihuahua, Mexico, May 3.-Unless
an appeal to President Diaz is produc-
tive OF executive clemency, which is
regarded as improbable, this city Will
be the scene WITHIN the next two
weeks of the execution of two Ameri-
cans, G. 4. Richardson and William
Mason.
They were covicted OF numbering
two men here for life insurance money,
Richardson being the insurance agent,
and Mason, his brother-in-law, an as
sistant agent. BY order OF the court
they are to be shot to death. G. S.
Harlo, the examining physician, and
the third member of the conspiracy,
is also under sentence of death. The
case has occupied the Mexican courts
for the past five years and is one of
the most extraordinary in the crimi-
nal annals of the Republic.
The two victims of the conspiracy
were man named Devers, decoyed
from lei Paso, and man named
Mitchell, said to be half-brother of
Mason. The prime mover in the plot
was Richardson. whose real name is
Hubert. lie was Rochester lawyer
who ran away To Mexico with seven
indictments hanging over his head
tor running divorce MILL Nit
chell was another Rochester lawyer
who followed him later. With the
help OF DIR. Harle. of Chiauhua, they
poisoned their victims with strych
nine after having insured their lives
iu New York company for go COO.
After the murders the gang, except
Harle, moved to Texas. Suspicion
was aroused and n detective was sent
to Texas. Posing rs a lumber mer-
chant, he worked into intimacy with
them. He took part in another plot to
steal $50, 900 and had himself arrested
with the others. Besides the men
there were two women mixed up in
the affair.
The discovery of the insurance plot
was quite accidental. In the fall of
1902, while looking over some Mexi-
can policies, the solicitor general of
the insurance company in New York
noticed n peculiar coincidence in two
Chihuahua claims. The claims came
through the same agent, Richardson,
were certified by the same doctor.
Harle, and in both. cases Or. Harle
had been the examining physician.
The men had both died after short
illnesses. One of them, Harry Mitchell,
insured for $l5, 600, had died on Feb
ruary IL. The other, James Dovers,
" no was insured for $4,000, died on
February %. Yet the Mitchell claim
was presented in February, and the
Devers claim not until July. In
both cases the insured had no other
relative than the beneficiary. In the
first case the beneficiary was Hulbert's
wife; in the second case it was Will
lam Mitchell, who posed as Devers'
half brother.
Upon investigation it was shown
that the men had died and been buried
AS stated. II wasn't a case of bury
ing the rocks on the company Then
the check for the Devers claim came
back to the New York bank. 1t was
endorsed by c. Il. Richardson, other
wise Hubert. The other had been pre-
viously paid to his wife, the murdered
Harry Mltchell's sister.
