Commutes Death Penalty of Negro.

Governor Pindall Monday commuted to life imprisonment, the sentence of death of Colonel Jones, negro sen fenced to be hanged February IA, in Miller county, after having been convicted of murder. The governor took this action at the close of hear ing which he conducted in the execu- tive chambers at which attorneys both for and against the negro presented their case The sentence was com muted after the Supreme Court had refused an appeal to that court. The governor based his decision on two grounds; first, on the statement Of the jurors who convicted the negro; secondly, on the ground that the ne- gress whom Jones killed was alleged to have been of low character and, ac- cording to the reasoning of the exc cutive, not entitled to as much pro- lection from society as one who is of higher moral stamp and who aids in maintaining the welfare of society by a conformity with moral requirements. In that connection the governor took up one of the social questions of the day. His proclamation committing the negros sentence is one of the most lengthy ever written by any gov ernor of Arkansas

DETROIT, Mich. Nov. 5.-Bishop
John S. Foley of the Catholic diocese
of Detroit was seventy-fvc years old
today and was the recipient of numer
ous testimonials presented by the
priesthood the laity and others. Bishop

Bishop Foley is a native of Baltimore
and his education was begun in st.
Mary's college in that city. He was
only l6 years old when he graduated
from the college with the degree of
bachelor of arts. In three years more
he was prepared for the minor orders,
which were administered by the late
Archbishop Kenrick. He was too
Young for priestly orders, so the Arch
bishop sent him to Rome for further
studies. Two years later. in the church
of st. John Lateran in Rome, he was
ordained priest. Upon returning to the
United States he became rector of a
church in Baltimore and remained in
that city until he became bishop of
Detroit in 1888.

Clarence Mum Confronted by
Brother Of Victim Admits
Killing Of Walker
TRACED BY A CHECK

PUEBLO, Nov. 6.-The mystery sur
rounding the murder of Thurman Walk.
er was cleared up last night by the
confession of Clarence Num- who ad
mitted shooting Walker on the night
of August 10, 1908.
Num- was recently arrested by Sher-
if1 Potter of Otero county and placed
in Jail in Pueblo where after much
sweating he has made complete con
fession.
In the latter part of September the
body of Walker was found floating in
Suspicion pointed to Num- as he was
the last person to be seen with the
murdered man. He was arrested and
placed in Jail, but at his preliminary
hearing he told straight story and
the officers were not able to find suffic-
lent evidence to warrant his detention
and he was therefore dismissed.
Num- remained in the vicinity of
Rocky Ford, however. and about a
month ago, brother of the murdered
man, E. L. Walker, came on from Val
ley Forge, Kas., and started an inves-
tigation, which resulted in the rear
rest of Mum.
In his confession, Num- says that the
two started from Rocky Ford, on Aug.
10, ostensibly bound for Cheyenne, but
that he had no intention whatever of
going to Wyoming. When they reach
ed a point between Nepeeta and Boone,
he shot Walker, took his saddle, $6 in
money, and gold watch, and returned
