Denied Pardon Or Parole

The application for the pardon OF
Preston, Socialist Labor candidate for
President of the United States in 1908,
and Smith was taken up by the Board
Of Pardons at Carson last week. At
torney Caesar A. Roberts of Denver
made the opening address for Preston
and Smith. Roberts stated that Pres
ton based his claims for pardon upon
errors in the former trial aud also upon
evidence that has come to hand. After
an address of less than three minutes
he gave way TO Judge Hilton. The at
torney for the Western Federation of
Miners talked for nearly an hour. He
claimed that his clients had not had a
fair and impartial trial.
A discussion took place between Jus :
tice Sweeney and Judge Hilton. in which
the former asked the question: "Does
not Preston's testimony alone convict
him of murder ?" to which Judge Hill
ton replied that his testimony was very
unfortunate for himself.
The Board deliberated aud refused
either pardon or parole to either.

Responsible for MeCregor's Death
Ely, Nevada. January Ga coroner Z
jury impanelsd to investigate the cause
Of the death of Hugh McGregor. the
carpenter foreman employed by the Ely
Central Copper Company at Copper
Flat. who last Tuesday was struck by a
boulder hurled nearly quarter Of a
mile by q surface blast, has returned q
verdict that McGregor had come to his
death as q result Of carelessness and
criminal negligence ON the part Of the
Nevada Consolidated Copper Company
in charge of the excavation work. Nc
Gregor was on his way to dinner at the
Ely Central boarding house when the
blast occurred. A stone weighing about
10 pounds struck his arm and side. He
fingered for IL hours.
The testimony before the coroner s
jury brought out the fact thai tho DOW
der charge. the explosion Of which was
the cause of McGregor's death, was In q
six-foot hole. The charge was Of from
six to eight pounds Of black powder and
80 sticks of machine powder. Powder
experts declared on the witness stand
that the right charge for such q hole
should have been from six to seven
sticks Of machine powder. The hole
was charged and fired by foreign Ia
borer, who admitted that he was mex
perienced. No precautions were taken
to protect the public and no warnings
were given.
The investigation also brought out the
fact that men employed on the powder
gangs in the Nevada Consolidated big
pit tossed fifty-round boxes Of dyna-
mite from their shoulders to the frozen
ground, or rolled full boxes down the
65-foot em bankment as carelessly as
though the boxes contained cheese.
