CASEY HANGED At CARSON
Slayer of Mrs. Lucy Heslip Pays
Penalty On Gallows-Con-
ceals Identity

Showing remarkable nerve, the man
known throughout Nevada as Patrick
Casey dropped to his death at ! | o'clocL
on the morning of Aug. 16 at the Car
son penitentiary after having made an
address from the scaffold in which be
stated that he was about to die the
most disgraceful death any mau could
suffer He said he had been convicted
Of murder and that within a few mo.
ments he would pay the penalty. He
asked the Nsva~a newspapers, as a
dying request. to allow him to rest in
his grave IN peace.
"As God is my judge" said he, II
had nothing against the woman / shot.
May she rest in peace and ask her
forgiveness. l hold no malice against
anyone on earth"
He paid tribute to Warden Baker
for his kindness to him and compli-
mented the State on such an official.
"In 1885," said Casey, without show
ing the slightest hesitation or fear,
my piother died in my arms. Her
last words were. Take me mp, o Lord.
take me- l know she is there, aud
right now expect to follow her."
The curtain was dropped shutting
out the view of the scaffold. while the
moose was adjusted. Then as the cur
tain was raised. Casey dropped through
the gallows. His neck was broken and
the blood poured in perfect stream
from beneath the black cap Before
DIR. ID. o. MacLean or DIR. j. Ii. Nc
Kenzie could reach the body. the heart
stopped beating and Casey was dead.
Patrick Columbus Casey was not the
name of the man executed at Carson
City. Fourteen years ago be was a
member Of the regular army and de
serted. Upon desertion he changed his
name TO Patrick Casey. He was a
married man, who had deserted his
wife and child for Is years. His father
was prominent attorney in one of the
Eastern States. His true name will not
be disclosed for the reason that all in.
volved want to save the child aud wife
OF Casey from shame. He was not
Irish. nor were any of his people.
Casey never had any intentions OF
killing Mrs. Heslip, but was infatuated
with Mrs. Mann aud was Jealous OF
Tom Heslip, and il he had intention
OF killing any person it was Heslip
Two weeks before the date of the homi.
eide. Casey wrote two farewell letters
to people in Goldfeld These letters
were found ia Casey's cabin three days
after he was arrested.
These letters stated he was going to
Kill Tom Heslip and commit suicide.
he said he was infatuated with Mrs.
Manu-, and Tom Heslip prevented him
in his intentions.
The crime for which Casey was SEN
fenced to death was one Of the most
brutal in the annals OF Goldfeld.
That 1t was deliberately committed
after premeditation, and after a plan
to feign insanity, is conceded by all ac-
qualnted with the facts in the case.

Hope In Washington That End Of
Mexican War 10 Near

Washington, April 20.-Conslder-
able progress was made yesterday In
the negotiations for an armistice be-
tween the forces OF the Mexican fed
eral government and the revolution
lists in Mexico DR.. Vasquez, head OF
the confidential agency Of the revolu'
tionists at Washington, who Is con-
Quoting the negotiations, received
word last night that his message set
ting forth the armistice proposition
and requesting definite instructions
for arranging the truce was on its
way to Gen. Francisco |. Madero, Jr.
who is eneamped several miles south
OF Juarez, Mex. DR.. Gomez was also
informed that HE 1rst message or
last week sent by way Of Chihuahua
city and outlining the preliminary
peace negotiations in which he had
engaged had been received by Gen.
Madero, but that confusion as to the
code used had made 1t impossible for
the rebel leader to read 1t. A mes
senger, therefore was dispatched from
Ell Paso, Tex, yesterday according to
advices received at Washington who
will pass through the federal lines
without molestation anu will explain
to Gen Madero and only the initials
messages concerning peace proposals,
but the fact that DR.. Gomez is await
ing orders from his chief for the ar
mistice agreement now pending.
The armistice idea was suggested
simultaneously to the Mexican gov
eminent and the head of the reyolu-
tionists at Washington by friend OF
both sides and thus far the Mexican
government and Dr. Gomez have been
in communication only through an
intermediate party. 1t is believed,
however, that with the approval OF
the Mexican government reported
from Mexico City Tuesday night and
the favorable attitude OF the revolu-
tionists' agency at Washington direct
communication will be instituted as
soon as DR. Gomez receives instruc-
lions from his chief to give official &C
quiescence to the armistice agree
ment.
Developments at Washington late
yesterday indicated to President Taft
and other administration officials that
peace in Mexico may not be a dream
and that there Is reason to believe
that the Mexican authorities Will
adopt a definite, restrictive policy
along the border" to prevent border
conflicts.

FAMOUS HOTEL LITIGATION
Trial Involving the Old Hotel BurIns
ton Actually Begins

Burlington, April 1S-The first of
the cases in the now famous hotel lit
igation between Max L, Powell and
Ex-Gov. U. A. Woodbury., and his sons
c. l.. and e. p Woodbury., swung into
active trial in Chittenden county
court this afternoon with Judge Fred
M. Butler of Rutland presiding The
cases grew out Of the settlement OF
the affairs of the old Hotel Burling-
ton, which burned in 1910 while Mr.
Powell was acting as trustee for the
creditors of George NJ. Delaney. A
long list Of suits. OF which this Is the
first, still appear on the docket The
one taken up today is known as Max
L.. Powell, trustee for George M. De-
Laney, against Edward P. and Charles
l.. Woodbury.. II Is an action to re-
cover for alleged malicious prosecu-
ton.
II is claimed by Mr.. Powell that the
Woodburys held up by injunction, his
auction sale OF the old Hotel Burling-
ton 80 long, that Its value depreci-
ated about $4,000.
Mr.. Powell is appearing for himself
| In the case assisted by Jonn w. Red
mond of Newport and V. A. Billiard
of this city. Rufus E. Brown and
Edmond G. Mower represent the
Woodburys. There was considerable
difficulty in getting jury owing to
the fact that the controversy has re-
ceived such wide publicity in newspa-
pers that the jurors were all familiar
with the facts.
The list OF original jurors was ex-
hausted and the sheriff brought in sew
eral new names before panel was
secured. Most of the afternoon was
taken up with the presentation, by
the lawyers, Of the preliminary open
ing OF the case, and Max Powell, the
plaintiff, took the stand late in the
afternoon.

their state TO enrich their own
pockets. These men have been from
the beginning OF the Virginia debt
prosecution the noisiest and most in
sistent that we should do something
to satisfy the holders OF the Virginia
debt certificates. These men have
been in consultation with the lawyers
representing Virginia In the litigation.
Fortunately. however. none OF these
men are in any way connected with
the administration. Fortunately. the
Republican party does not have to
bear the burden OF responsibility for
their acts. When the history OF the
Virginia debt prosecution Is written.
II will be found that some OF the men
who have been most active in push
ing on this prosecution. have been
West virginians. and they are among
those who are now noisily asking why
this mystery of the Virginia debt?

THE TURKS AND TsIpoLI.

Speaking OF the Italian raid on
Tripoli and the moral question in
volved in the invasion and subjuga-
ton OF neighboring territory. Il might
be pertinent to ask how the Turks
came into possession OF Tripoli? Ger
tainly not By the voluntary act OF the
inhabitants OF the province. Some
1900 years ago Tripoi was one OF the
wealthiest and most prosperous pro-
vinces OF the Roman empire. When
the empire fell into decay. II was
ravished by the Goths. by the Arabs
and finally the Turks. Turkey has
never been anything more Than a
foreign despot 30 far as Tripon Is
concerned. While Italy has no moral
claim 20 Tripoh. the claim OF Turkey
sIfted down is not much better than
that OF the Italians.
