between Governor William Spry and A.

The consultation Of the two men this

the delay in negotiations for confer

ways Of the special privileges as to ac-
commodations customarily granted tc

cifcalIy orde by Governor William
Spry. A box Of chocolate candy, pack
age Of cigarettes and some magazines
were the only things asked for and re-
ceived by tho prisoner.
Not at any time since his execution be-
came a certainty could the condemned
man be argued into tolerating for mo-
ment tho idea OF having any one other
than those required by tho law to be
present ut his execution. Whom told that
he had the right to invite five friends to
witness the execution he said he had NO
friends and would not wish them to be
present IL he had. Concerning represen-
tatives OF the press. he declared repeat
edly that he wished them excluded, going
to the trouble OF writing his wishes. as
follows:
Utah State Prison, Sept. 30, 1912,
Warden Arthur Pratt,
Sir: At any time a representative
of a newspaper desires an interview
with me, you will for me deny them.
Also. MIR. Pratt, will you make ar
rangcments 30 that my execution will
not be witnessed by any newspaper
man. Hoping that you can grant
me these favors, am, yours respect
