who arrived at the penitentiarv yester-
day expecting to spend the last few
hours on earth with her husband, ioine-
her companion in receiving the glad
tidings that yesterday came to him.
AS the execution was to take place
this morning between the hours of 9
a. IN. and p. m, al preliminary ar
engagements had been made by the
prison officials and the execution
would have been carried out according
to the letter of the law had the gov
ernor not interceded.
The condemned man was put under
the death watch on last Thursday and
a guard has been constantly kept with
him in the death cell. Filpot. up to
the time he was read the news from
Governor Hay, had not shown any spe-
cal signs of nervousness. He recently
embraced the Christian religion and
was baptized in the faith.
Fi.pot's Crime.
The crime for which Fflpot was SEN
fenced to pay the penalty is shrouded
somewhat in mystery, and his convic-
ton was to some extent on circumstan-
tial evidence, although the evidence
submitted in court at the time of the
trial pointed strongly to Filpot as the
criminal
The crime was committed more than
three years ago. Nels Cole, the muir
dered man, lived in cabin in an I'M
travelled gulch on Little Spokane river.
His brother, Thomas Cole. lived with
him. At the time the man was MUIR
dered. Thomas Cole was away from
their cabin. working for a neighbor.
Nels Coe was left alone at the cabin,
but was to complete some farm work
with his team on the next day for a
neighbour March 90, but he did not ar
trive. This caused some alarm and i'm
mediately a search was made and it
was found that the Old man and his
team were missing. The old mans sud-
a mystery. A few days later, the first
clue to the mystery was had by locat-
ing his team in Occur dAlene in posses
sion of a man who said he had pur-
chased it from a man whom he did not
know, and from the description he
gave Of the man, suspicion Immediately
pointed TO Filpot
Sheriffs and deputies began work on
this clue and followed every particle
Of information to the end but Fipot
was not located and arrested until in
the following August. He was then
found in a harvest field near Lind.
April 10, 1907. Filpot was sentenced
to hang, but an appeal was taken and
the execution stayed The appeal was
finally carried to the supreme court.
The supreme court affirmed the de-
cision Of the lower court and the SEN
tence was fixed at August 2, 1909.
Friends of Filpot have never ceased
working for his liberty or a committed
sentence and he has been accorded
some public sympathy from the fact

The principal object of the guild is
to give hospital treatment to sick
women and children whose families
are not able 10 pay for their treat
ment. A room is maintained In a
private hospital. and the only limit to
the work the ladies do is the amount
OF money they are able to raise.
Because of the fact that the city
makes no provision whatever for
charity hospital cases. the field work
undertaken by the ladies is practically
unbounded. They dc not have to look
for cases worthy Of attention: the
only question is how to secure the
funds necessary to handle the cases
brought TO their notice.
Any effort by these ladies to raise
money for their worthy cause should
be supported generously.
