Phillip John Hawley
Seeking His Freedom

. Thirteen prisoners serving life
terms for murder and five serving
shorter periods for lesser degrees of
homicide, eighteen takers of human
life, haze petitioned the state board
of pardons for clemelcy and their
cases were due to be heard by the
board this afternoon.
Phillip John Hawley, whose sensa-
tional episodes in Mankato, more
than "a year ago, caused Nno end Of
comment, is seeking a pardon. Haw.
ley, it will be remembered, came in
an auto company as he claimed. He
made love to and was the accepted
sutton Of well-known young lady i'll
North Mankato. Ali the while he
had a wife and child in this city.
The peddled a number of bogus checks,
and it is suspected that his "love"
+ for the North Mankato young lady
was prompted by his desire to gain
the confidence of her father to the
extent of inducing him to endorse
a "phony" daft for $500 drawn on
a bank in a Missouri town.
Father Would Not "FaIl."
However, the father of the young
lady would not fall for" Hawley's
swindling game Hawley purchased.
an engagement ring at a local jew
elry store, paying for it with check
that was not backed up by cash.
This transaction cost the young lady
a sum of money, and when she
learned that he was crooked she
dropped him cold. Not until after
Hawley's expose appeared in the To-
cal papers was Mrs. Hawley made
aware of what her husband had
been doing in the way of love-mak-
ing, but strange to say she did not
seem to become incensed and show
any desire to scratch the other wom'
ans eyes out. she would not believe
that Hawley would do such thing
There were people who suspected
that Mrs. Hawley was in the play
made by her husband to get the
bogus draft for $500 endorsed by the
girls father.
Hawley's Escape From Jail.
HaWley was arrested and confined
in the Blue Earth county Jail. Here
he formed the acquaintance Of John
McCloskey, a young fellow who was
charged with larceny One night the
pair made sensational escape from
Jail. Hawley was later arrested at
ST. Cloud and returned to Mankato.
He blended guilty in the district
court to the charge of grand larceny
in tho second degree and was given
an indeterminate sentence in the
states prison.
McCloskeys liberty was short-lived
He returned to Mankato of his own
accord. His thirst fer whisky led
him to enter saloon. The propri
etor of the place notified the sher'
IFS office and he soon after was
again occupying quarters in the
county jail. He pleaded guilty to
the charge of grand larceny, and he
also was given an indeterminate sen
tence i'll states prison.
Mrs. Hawley also was arrested
and confined in jail she having
passed checks that proved to be
fraudulent. The charge was not
pressed and she was given her lib,

and no had enough information on
how to pull off robbery like that
at Thief River Falls If he wanted to
do it. But it was much bigger than
his usual line and of different ma.
ture.
Il have little doubt that the man
had police record in number of
Northern Minnesota cities. I don't
know IL he had a state prison rec

department 1t is possible that some
of the men on the police force of
either city twelve or fifteen years
ago would be able to give ether facts
about the man if their attention
we're called. to the situation.

This much is certain The man
was we'll known to twin city crooks
of a few years back, and underworld
habitues in Moorhead and East

him and throw light on how it came
to pass that his body was found

The chief of police at Moorhead
has been written to for information
about Quigley and steps may be

lieved the mans relatives would pre-
fer to let the matter rest as it is,
and would not care to claim the

Mr. Brown is mistaken in one par
ticular. No one was found dead, and

the time of the postoffice robbery in
Lake Crystal. So far as Sheriff Os-

has occurred in Lake Crystal, in re
cent years was that in the box car
about twoayears ago when one tramp
shot another. The man who was
shot died and his assailant never
was captured.

TRAPPED IN BURNING CAR.
Stranger Seriously Burned While
Stealing Ride Near Nevada.


Stealing Ride Near Nevada.
Special to Times Republican.
Nevada, May 13.-A stranger giving
his name as Joe Gilbert was seriously
and possible fatally burned when fire
started in box car in which he was
stealing ride over the Rock Island
this morning. The fire was first dis
covered when the train was about two
miles north of McCallsburg. Trainmen
discovered the fire and stopping the
train cut out the car and it was then
that they heard the mans cries for
help The car was opened and in the
face Of the flames brakeman clam
bered in and rescued the man from
cremation.
He Was brought to this city on the
early morning passenger and taken to
Iowa Sanatorium. where his burns
were dressed. He is badly burned about
the face and breast as we'll as his
hands and feet. His nose and ears are
charreds and the flesh is one mass of
fire-eaten sores. 1t is thought that his
life can possibly be saved.
Another man who had been travel
ing with him but left him at Mar
shalltown, says that his home is in
Illinois. He was a laboring man ana
had worked for different railroad con-
struction contractors, among them F.
E. Shugart, of this city. The COM
panion. named Boardman, upon hear
ing OF the accident, came on to Nevada
to lend what assistance he could in
caring for the man.

The Horse Market.

Chicago, May IA big delegation
of buyers. moderate run of horses
and apparently many urgent orders
started proceedings in the auction ring
this week in approved style. Despite
the prices paid in the country it locks
as tho most of the loads would pay
out. and the promise already is that
the clearance will be early and prac-
tically complete.
Farmers are tremendously busy just
now and Will be for the next four
weeks. When the rush of corn plant
ing is over there will be plenty or
horses for sale in the country, but just
at present many farmers find that they
must buy additional team power and
that helps to keep up the prices In the
country When farmer finds that
he needs an extra pair of horses to get
his crop into the ground in good season
he loses no time in supplying his wants
and a few dollars cut no figure what
ever.

the export trade was In flower at this
market. was heard this forenoon in the
report of the death Of Joseph Hoar.

the largest exporter here. Jack Dainty,
now with Ellsworth 4 McNair. was

many as 5000 head across the water

Mr.. Hoar was only one of several for
