jim MALLOY HANGED LAST
FRIDAY
Went to His Death Bravely-Died
in 20 Minutes -Small
Number at Execution

Val IuuTucF Oh lis WIG over II
year ago. The trap was sprung at
1889 and at 1906 Drs. Carmichael
and Kinney pronounced him dead
as a result Of strangulation. His
body was cut down and taken a.
way and buried in the potter's
field, his family refusing to take
charge of the remains. The execu-
ton was orderly and only a few
witnessed it.
The gallows on which Malloy
was hanged was about IL feet high.
A trap door had been fixed allow
ing a fall of about Z feet. The
cutting of the rope allowed the
trap door to fall and the body
dropped through this.
Before the execution the Revs.
Jno. Moultrie, r + Harrington, +
w Prince and B G. jackson, held
devotional exercises in the cell of
the doomed man. Malloy said that
he was ready to meet his God and
that he was going to his death
with malice towards none.
At 1927 Sheriff j B Green en-
tered the cell and read the death
warrant to Jim. He then ac-
companied by Deputies Hinson,
Odom and A CGrecn, marched on
the scaffold. His hands and legs
were tied. The sheriff asked him
if he had anything to say before
he was hanged. He said that he
had made his peace with God and
that he was goingto death without
fear. He said that he descryc ed TO
die and asked the sheriff not to
mind it. He asked Gods blessing
on the sheriff, the deputies and all
present. He asked Mr.. l. w
Evans, on whose place he commit
ted the murder, to tell his mother
m,law that he had nothing against
her and sent his love to them all
and asked that they meet him in
heaven.
The black cap was adjusted and
at 1879 the trap was sprung. The
fall failed to break the murdcrcr's
neck and it was 1906 when the
doctors announced that nc was
dead as a result Of strangulation.
His body was cut down and taken
away to the pottcr's field and burr
ed by the county.
The sheriff, in accordance with
the law, allowed only a very few
to see the execution. More than
1000 applied for admission cards.
The murder was committed on the
oath Of April, 1907, in the after
noon and that night the sheriff
had applications for admission

SPUR FRANCHISE
IS DISCUSSED
DETRIMENTAL TO NORTH COAST
Attorney Snively Declares Move a
Plot by Northern Pacific to
Hinder Rival Road.

The matter of granting a franchise
to Carrot Bros, giving them the pri-
vilege of constructing a spur from
their warehouse to the Northern Pa
cific tracks in this city and crossing
the right-of-way of the North Coast
railroad, was the cause of a spirited
discussion at the meeting of the city
council Tuesday evening. Attorney
H. ]. Snively, appearing for the
North Coast railroad. declared that
the asking for the franchise was but
a move on the part of the Northern
Pacific to hinder the progress of the
North Coast in this city and that the
granting of the franchise would be
serious detriment to the North
Coast. He said that his company
would build spur from CARROTS
warehouse and connect with the
Northern Pacific. without single
cent expense to Garrett Brothers, but
would not stand for track across their
right-of-way being controlled by a
rival and hostile company. He said
that the North Coast had met with
opposition from the Northern Pacific.
and that there was an Interior pur-
pose in the move. and that the North
ern Pacific had refused to listen to
any North Coast proposal.
Attorney Parker. appearing for
Garrett Bros. said that the fight Of
the rival railroads was simply hurt
ing Garrett Bros business. He said
that II granted permission to build
the spur they would take ND the
same whenever the North Coast had
built their line into the city. He
read a contract between the North
Coast and Garrett Bros, relative TO
the building of the spnr, which had
not been complied with. After con-
siderable discussion. into which some
interesting features OF railroad work
were interjected. the matter was re-
ferred to the street and ditch COM

next meeting
l.. II. Linbarger addressed the
council and said that the Standard
Oil company was willing to submit
a proposition to the CITY council for
the oiling of streets and the allaving
of the dust. The methods to be used
in this city would be the same as
now successfully used in California.
Mr.. Linharger was informed that the
proposition of the Standard Oil COM
pany would be considered by the
council, and the street and ditch
committee was ordered to open nego-
tiations to be considered at the next
meeting.
Condemnation proceedings were
ordered commenced by the. council

inquest on Frederick H. Rustin,

sations today The first testimony
was by Mrs. Abbie Rice. the woman
who was last known to be in DR.. Rus
tins company on the night of his
death. She declared that for some
time DR.. Rustin had been talking
about committing suicide, but wished
to disguise the act so as to protect
his life insurance for the benefit of
his family. After much importantly

and then take her own life. Arrange
ments to this end were made Friday
night, August 2S, but her nerve fail

lowing Dr.. Rustin pointed out to her
on the street car man who. he said,
promised to do the deed, saying it
would be done that night. Later she
identified Charles f. Davis, a clerk
in n local bank and a member of a
prominent family, as the man re-
ferred to by DR.. Rustin.
Davis was placed on the witness
stand and testified that he attempted
to commit suicide on the night in
question. taking drugs furnished him
by Dr.. Rustin, but denied he proniis-
ed to kill the doctor, or that he had
anything to do with the latter's
death. He said the drugs taken
made him sick and he vomited, thus
saving his life. He gave no special
reason for wishing to end his life,
except that he had no desire to live.
He said he had made previous at
tempts at suicide. Davis has not been
arrested.
Mrs. Rice in her testimony said
that Rustin had asked her to kill him
about two weeks ago. She consented
and agreed to shoot herself after
ward She said: 81 was TO shoot
him in his office. He wanted me to
shoot him in the abdomen so the
family could get the insurance mon
ey. He thought he could trust me.
He wanted me to give him two or
three days to settle his business af-
fairs before killing him. I hardly
knew what to say when he said that
he wanted it done Sunday, August
80. He thought the noise of the cars
would drown the noise of the revolt
