DECLARE BARRETT
WAS MURDERED
Conyicts Who Witnessed Shoot
ing of Prisoner Say Killing
Was Unnecessary
AT No Time Was There Danger
Of a Break and Dead Man
Was Unarmed
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

SACRAMENTO, Sept 10.---Although
the coroner's jury in the case or the
convict Mark Barrett, who was shot and
killed at the Folsom prison yesterday
by Guard Fleckenstein, brought in
verdict exonorating the guard from
all blame, a close Investigation into the
facts surrounding the shooting indicate
that il strict discipline had been main
tanned by Warden Reilly at the prison
the killing would never have occurred.
Barrett had engaged in quarrel
with an aged convict while they were
working together in the sand pit. Guard
Anderson was stationed 10 feet away
from the pit. He is said to have talked
to the prisoners to stop their fighting
and report to their captains office
Guard Clarke, who was stationed across
the river, heard the noise. He was
some distance from his rifle, and, fear
ing that it might be a break, ran to
pick up his weapon. In his excitement
he-fell and the gun was accidentally
discharged. Fortunately the bullet hit no
one. although it is- said to have struck
in the midst of the sand pit gang. The
shot from Clarke's rifle was followed
by one from Anderson's gun. Anderson
said he only shot to frighten the pris-
oners. Clarke fired q second time, de-
claring he, too aimed to miss.
Great excitement prevailed among the
guards, and they were apparently more
frightened than the prisoners. In the
meantime the fight between Miller and
Barrett continued. Miller ran up the
embankment, closely followed by Bar
rett, and Guard Fleckenstein took de-
liberate ainkat him and fired. Barrett
fell dead, the bullet striking him in
the back of the head. Fleckenstein tes-
titled at the coroner's inquest that he
aimed to hit the convict between the
shoulders. He also said that Barrett
was on top of Miller when the shot was
fired. Several convicts who witnessed
the ira agedy denied this. They declared
Barrett was nowhere near Miller when
he was shot.
Other convictsi testified that the
guards did not, previous to the shoot
ing, call to the men to stop fighting and
report to the captains office. The
affair has created much talk, many
persons believing that there was no
justification for the shooting. The men
were unarmed and it is believed that
the fight could have been stopped with
out the cost of a life. Miller's life, 1t
is said, was by no means in danger at
any time during the quarrel. If proper
discipline had been maintained at the
prison it. is said the fight could have
been stopped without the necessity of
firing a shot. The affair has caused
great uneaSiness among the conVicts

He had a large plantation with many

His son John believed that garden

The congtl y ,onal election Nov. 8
upset many idSa. The story has been
told before. Thsh xtent of the down
fall can scarcely be realized without a
repetition OF the suggestion that the
sixty-first congress will miss among
others the Hon. Peter Hepburn of Clar-
linda, Iowa. Congressman Hepburn has
been in congress almost since the re-
publican party was founded. He has
been in the front rank of republican
politics for half century. Back in
1850 he was representing Iowa In ma
tional conventions. He broke into con-
gress in it's forty seventh session, 80
years ago. He served continuously for
six years. Then he skipped three ses-
sions returning to the fifty third con-
gress and serving in the fifty-fourth
'fffty- fifth, fifty-ninth and sixtieth
houses In congress he has been a
perpetual leader and it was the general
impression that Hepburn was con-
gressional fixture. For several sessions
