doing considerable DEVELOPMENT
work across the river and FIVE men
have been employed at the quarry or
some time. This work is for the pur-
pose of developing the quarry and al

operations, when the product from
the quarry will be placed on the mar

flrst-class quality and there is little
doubt that this will be quite an in

quarries are further developed.
At this quarry cut of $50 feet long
and 81 feet in depth has already been
made and by the time the work now
IN progress is completed the quarry
will be in good shape to begin active
operations on for commercial pur-
poses. The boys are doing good

THE CRIME

The crime for which Casey suffer
ed the death penalty was atrocious
in the extreme. The following from
a review OF his case by the decision
=. the Supreme Court. when a new
trtil was denied recites the facts:
The defendant under the assumed
name OF Patrick C. Casey, was in.
dieted by the grand jury OF Esmcr
ralda County, State of Nevada for
he crime OF murder in the first de
gree, for willfully. feloniously. and
with malice aforethought inflicting a
mortal wound on Mrs. Lucy Heslip
with loaded pistol from which she
died on the 10th day of August, 1909.
It appears from the record that on
he 10th day OF August, 1909, 1T
about seven o'clock in the evening,
the defendant shot and killed Mrs.
Lucy Heslip and wounded her com
panion Mrs. Alice Mann at Goldfield

MAY ISSUE
WARRANTS

This afternoon Attorney General
Baker rendered a decision to Con
troller Egggers in which he declares
that the State Controller, can in the
the future issue warrants.
At the discovery of the shortage OF
the General Fund Controller Eggers
refused to issue warrants, claiming
that unless there was an opinion by
the Attorney-General that he would
refuse warrants where theIo were nC
funds.
In the opinion rendered this after
noon the Attorney-G General sets the
law at right. He declares that the is
suing OF the warrant is simply the
acknowledgement OF the debt owed
by the State, that the Controller ean
lawfully issue such acknowledgment
In the future it will be possible to
receive such warrant 1t will not

Casey had suffered the amputation
OF his left leg below the knee which

He was received at the prison on
December 5, 1909, and was originally

Casey was aged 48 years. During
the term of his confinement he has

Condemned Man Made Statement

Without Assistance or Complaint

, was there and Rev Thomas remained
to conduct the simple services that
were accorded the deceased.
Since the time Casey was received
at the prison he has not written to d
friend or relative AS far as assist
ance was concerned he was without
friend aside from the two young at
torneys in Goldteid who took his
case without compensation He at
one time told the Warden he had a
wife and daughter in another part OF
the world and that Casey was not his
right name. He was a man of consid
cradle refinement and education.
This was shown in his talk at the gal
lows. He declared in his converse
tion with the Warden that he had
people in the South and good people
and that he would never reveal his
to know OF his disgraceful end and
bring trouble 10 innocent people. As
result of his refusal to talk he died
without revealing his right name un-
less it was to his spiritual adviser,
Rev. Thomas, and he will keep the
dead mans secret
STRAIN RELIEVED
Since the day the Board OF Pardons
declared against interference with the
verdict OF death, the officials and
guards at the prison have been under
a strain. 1t is no childs play to take
mans life, even under the law As
the time grew nearer the nervous
strain grew apace. Someone had to
cut the strings and someone had to
adjust the. moose. Even the Wardeii
felt the strain and is relieved III
mind that the work is over
Last evening the guards at the
prison were summoned. 1t was a
case OF draw straws TO see who would
cut the cords. The drawing took
considerable time, and it was near
midnight when the affair was over
1t is understood that the Warden
drew with the boys. Just who the
three were who released the trap was
not stated No one aside from the
prison guards and the Warden saw
the moose adjusted, as it was done
behind the curtain. 1t matters not
who did the work Ii was necessary
and the law has taken its course.

special ordnance board, with four volunteer
sailors agreed to stay on board the Puritan
when the explosive was detonated. More than
this, Captain Knight had the task of punching
small holes in the explosive with a lead pencil
to permit the Introduction of fuses. This was
an exceedingly delicate operation and because
OF the fact that the explosive was new COM
bination it was possible that something might
happen during the puncturing, lightly as it
was performed. After the fuses were inserted
Captain Knight connected electric wires with
them and then went forward to position on
the berth dock with the four enlisted men
who elected to stay on board with him.
The ordnance board officer turned switch
and the explosion took place. The report was
thunderous 1T felt like an earthquake" said
Captain Knight afterward With his men the
venturesome captain escaped injury. but their
hero1sm was just as real as If they had been
blown to atoms, for because of the fact that
the explosive was comparatively unknown
quantity, no one could tell definitely what
might happen.
Writing of the Puritan which is a monitor,
brings to mind the fact that officers and men
serving on vessels Of this type undergo hard
ships of which the people of the country know
little. The monitor gradually is passing as an
active service vessel and it is not likely that
anybody connected with the service from ad-
miral down to cooks mate is sorry. for it. The
heat In the monitors is something intense, and
as the waves wash over the low decks of the
vessels when any kind of breeze is blowing
the men are confined below with no air except
such as is pumped down to them by way of
the engine room, and this air is hot, oily and
productive on many occasions Of sickness,
called sea sickness, but which In reality is
nothing of the kind, although It has all the
attendant symptoms of the real article.
The modern battleships are frightfully hot
below decks, especially when they get into
tropical and sub-tropical waters. A civilian
who went to Panama with President Taft said
that in his cabin when dressing for dinner he
was obliged to stand directly in the draught Of
blow pipe to prevent the profuse perspira-
ton from so melting" the bosom of his dress
shirt that it would be unpresentable when he
appeared at the presidents table. The ther-
mometer in the staterooms stood at-about 112
degrees. r
Some years ago an officer who was sta
toned a monitor was found dead in his
berth and the surgeons pronounced his death
to have been caused by apoplexy, heat apo
plexy the officers of the ship called 1t. An old
naval officer in Washington has told me that
the thermometer in the cabin of the officer
who died stood at 140 degrees and that the
death was due solely to a heat stroke.
During the Spanish war the monitor Mian-
tonomah was on blockading duty off the port
steel monitor cased in metal and with the
