KING EDWARD VII OF
 ENGLAND IS DEAD
Succession of Prince of Wales as George V. Automatic and He Will Be Pro-
 claimed King Today

London, May 7.-Edward VIl., king of the United Kingdom and all of the British dominions be- yond the seas, Great Britain and Ireland, and emperor of India, died at 11:45 o'clock last night, after an illness of less than a week.
 Queen Alexandria, the prince of Whales, who succeeds to the throne, the princess of Whales. the princess royal. the Duchess of Fife, Princess Victoria and Princess Louise and the duchess of Argyll were present when the king died.
 The prince of Wales succeeded to the crown immediately, &C., cording to the laws of the king dom without official ceremony. His first official act was to send to the lord mayor the announce ment of his fathers death, in pursuance of custom.
 The intelligence that the end of King Edwards reign had come was not a surprise at the last. The people had been eX- pecting it any hour since the evenings bulletin was posted at Buckingham palace and flashed throughout the kingdom. The capital received it with great ex- citement, but sadly, for the king with his own people was unques- tionably one of the most popular rulers in the world.

HARDING HANGED
 FOR MURDER
Former Wealthy Planter Executed at Wynne To- day. Had Slain His
 Attorney.

Wynne. May 6.-(Special.) ) Henry Harding was hanged here at 12:: 20 p. m. today, and the body was cut down ten min utes later. The remains will be shipped to Memphis for interment in Calvary cemetery.
 Harding died game as a pea cock. He made a speech at the court house before beginning the march to the gallows. He de- clared that Patterson. o. N. Kill tough and the Chancery Court were to blame for his death. At the scafford he made practically the same speech. He said that he was an honest man and that he was being hanged by bunch of thieves and robbers.
 He was pronunced dead by Dr. Banner in 20 minutes after the drop fell.
 He said he had notified Xiii tough and Gardner to be present, but noticed that none of them were present..
 Henry Harding was hanged for the deliberate murder of Hon. J. T. Patterson. who repre- sented Cross County in the Leg islature of 1905. The killing oc- cured in Patterson's law office at Wynne October 10. 1909. A speedy trial followed. and Hard ing was sentenced to hang De- cember 3l, 1909. An appeal was granted December 23 by Chief Justice McCulloch, acting as a stay of execution. and on Febru- ary 28, last, the Supreme Court affirmed the sentence of the lower court. Later, upon the issuance of the mandate, Cover nor Donaghey fixed today as the date of execution, and refused all applications made for com- mutation of sentence or further stay.
 The tragedy was the result of an altercation between Harding and Patterson, who was his at. torney in a civil suit in the Cross Circuit Court. Patterson had won the suit, but Harding did not approve the management of the case, and went to Patter- sons office tc adjust their differ ences. The argument became heated, and Harding shot and killed Patterson. He claimed
The Nevada County picayune., 1910-05-10

that Patterson attempted first to strike him with a chair. but the States evidence did not bear out this contention. It was shown that Harding was abusive and was ordered from the office, and as he turned to leave drew his revolver and shot the attorney dead.

PLACERVILLE, Oct. 2S.-A special

scattered about the town; the county
