HARRY ORCHARD
NOT TO Be HUNG
Pardon Board Commutes Sentence
To Life Term.

Boise, Idaho Especially The State
Board of Pardons commuted the SEN
tence of Harry Orchard, who was un-
der sentence to hang Friday for the
murder of former Governor Frank
| Steunenberg. to Imprisonment for
| life.
Orchard was arrested two days af-
ter the assassination of former Gov
ernor Steunenberg at Caldwell. Ida
no, December 80. 1905. and few
weeks later, while confined in the
Idaho Penitentiary, confessed his
guilt to James Mcfarland. we'll
known detective. at the same time
asserting that he was employed to
commit the crime by officers Of the
Western Federation of Miners. AS
result of his confession Charles
H. Meyer. president. and William d.
Haywood. secretary-treasurer, of the
Western Federation of Miners, and
Charles d. Pettibone, were arrested
In Denver and brought to Idaho to
answer the charge of murder.
John Simpkins. another member
Of the federation, was also indicted,
and is still a fugitive. Haywood and
Pettibone were acquitted after mem
orable trials, in which Orchard told
story of wholesale assassinations
which shocked the world.
Following the trial of Pettibone
the case against Moyer~was dismiss
ed.
Orchard, who was indicted sep
arately, when arraigned after his
confession, stood mute, and the
court directed that a plea of not
guilty be entered. His case was
continued from term to term until
April 10 of this year, when it was
called at Caldwell, and he asked per-
mission to change his plea. The
court granted the request, and Or
chard pleaded guilty to murder in
the first degree
In pronouncing the sentence Of
death, a week later, Judge Wood
recommended that the Board of Par
dons commute the sentence, saying
he was firmly convinced that Orchard
had told the whole and exact truth
at the trials Of Haywood and Pet
tibone, and that he was, therefore,
for the service he had rendered the
State entitled to clemency.
The board in taking this action,
acted on the recommendation of
Judge Fremont Wood, made at the
time of sentencing Orchard.
The pardon board, consisting of
Governor Gooding, Secretary of State
Lansdon and Attorney General Gu
hen, met in regular session to-
day and took up the Orchard case.
Frank Wyman, appointed by the
court to represent Orchard, appeared
before the board and presented a
formal argument in behalf of his
client, basing his plea solely on the
legal status Of the case and main
tanning, as held by Judge Wood in
recommending clemency, that in
making Orchard States witness
the State obligated itself to extend
consideration to him in return. No
one appeared to oppose the proposed
Communication and by the unanimous
vote of the board clemency was ex-
tended.

POISON MYSTERY
BATTLES THE POLICE
Arrest Made In the Dr. W. u. Wilson
Case.
BuT TAE IDENTIFICATION FANS
Philadelphia Police Are Sweating Fred
erick Gies, Jr., Printers Foreman,
Whose Wife Died While Under Treat
ment by the Physician-May Arrest
Another Physician Suspected.

Philadelphia Especially. - While
the police continue to express tho
belief that Frederick Gies, Jr.. who
was arrested on suspicion OF know
Ing something about the death Of
Or. William H. Wilson. who was
killed by drinking poisoned ale on
June rs, Is the man they want. de-
gelopments do not add strength to
their belief. William Olmstead, an
smploye of type foundry, who sold
letter 'sS'' used In letters printed
Dy the man believed to be the muir
derer, confronted Gies at the City
Hall and failed to identify him. The
letter "S'' was used In printed let
ter sent to the coroner by the sup
posed murderer, and also was used
On a stamp on the bottle containing
The ale.
Gies is not directly accused Of
having caused DR.. Wilson's death,
out the police say he answers SO
closely the description of the man
wanted that they were compelled to
letain him. After preliminary ex-
animation of Gies at midnight Super
htendent of Police Taylor said:
while the case against Gies is
.ircumstantial, am quite sure he
Knows all about the murder, al
though he denies all knowledge of It.
As a result of information we have
received say that another arrest.

goon as we can ind him.
Death OF Gies' Wife.
1--WE will also have here to con-
'front.' the suspect Fred Buckman, the
express agent who received the pack
age Of poisoned ale to DR.. Wilson,
md the Keystone Type Foundry en-
ployee, who sold the letter "S"t to
The man who prepared the poisoned
ale. Then we shall see how strong
the links in our. chain really are"
According to the police, the man
who caused the death of DR.. Wilson
committed the crime because the
physician performed an illegal OPP
Grafton on his wife. which resulted
In her death.
Gies' wife died recently, and the
police say she had been under treat
ment by Wilson. Gies' wife was
formerly Miss Elizabeth w. Alexan-
der, schoolteacher. They were Sc
cretly married last January, and the
marriage did not become known,
even to the parents of the couple,
until near the time of the young
woman's death. The police claim
they have witnesses to prove that
the young woman had been treated
by Wilson, and they further say there
are many circumstances In the short
married life and in the death of Mrs.
Gses which justified them to arrest
Giles. Gies claims that his wife died
\ June 10 from Bright's disease, while
the police claim that she died about
June 6. The date of the death of
the woman is important because the
letter 49," which was used to stamp
the bottle of poisoned ale, was pur-
chased on June Is.
Gies was kept in close confinement
and no one was permitted to see
him, nor was any information about
him given out, beyond the fact that
be was to undergo the sweating"
process.
The mother. OF Gies' wife, in an
interview, said she did not believe
her son-in-law knew anything of the
murder of DR.. Wilson. She said he
was not that kind of man.

NIGHT RIDERS.
Troubles at Reelfoot Lake, Ten
ncSScc.

Troubles at ReeIfoot Lake, Ten
neSSee.
During the earthquake in that
section in 1911, a body of land
sunk, making a lake in Obion
County, Tennessee, thirty miles
llong, with a varying width Of
from one to ten miles wide, when
full of water, commencing a few
miles from Hickman, Kentucky,
| just across the state line and ex-
tending to Dyer County, Tenn,
on the south. That portion west
of the lake was formed into Lake
county. The fisherman on the
lake are from all over the country
and are generally desperate
characters who are hiding out
for crimes committed elsewhere.
They hardly ever leave their huts
and see no one except the dealer
who buys their fish, ducks and
geese, or the storekeepers, who
are a sympathetic class, if not
of their own kind, and sell
them the few things they
need.
| The lake is the best all around
fishing and hunting body Of
water in the United States.
Different parties have bought
claims Of individuals and from
the state have titles to large
bodies of land, and water cover
ed land. It has been in liti-
cation for many years, some
claimants losing out on trial in
court and otherssucceeding. The
West Tennessee Land Co.
claimed to own quite a lot Of the
land and adjoining water and
upon trial in the chancery court
during the first of this month
got a decree validating their
claim. Judge R. z. Taylor and
Captain Quentin Rankin, Of
Trenton, Tenn, attorneys for
the land company and also owned
stock in it, went to the lake last
week to see about some timber
deal. The night riders took
them about one O'Clock in the
morning from the hotel, hung
Captain Rankin, and then shot
him. Judge Taylor, believing
their guns to be empty, broke
from the guard, plunged in the
water, and was some little
distance before they could re-
load and fire at him. He hid be-
hind a log at the edge Of the
water on the opposite edge of the
bayou. Thinking he was dead,
as they had fired hundreds of
shots at him, they left. He sue
ceeded in reaching safety after
travelling So hours through 20
miles of cane, water and grass.
Governor Patterson sent troops
to the scene, sheriffs and citi-
zens posses were raised with a
determination to bring the guilty
to justice.
The state troops are in COM
mand of Col. w. C. Tatom, who
is competent for the place. Over
sixty suspects have been cap
tured, and more than one has
given away the secrets, telling
who composed the mob.
Circuit court is in session and
it looks as if the guilty will be
punished. The courts decided to
whom the land in litigation be-
longed and one thing the squat
ters knew full well, that they,
the squatters, did not own a foot
of it. The criminals should be
hung, there is no reason for
mercy to be shown such men.
Night riding should and must be
stamped out or the boasted
civilization of the south will be a
memory only and this country
will be'in worse condition than
during the civil war, or the worse
reconstruction period.
Officers and juries must do
their full duty, which will be
possible only by the good citizens
backing them up in every way
possible.
