II HAVE MADE MY PEACE WITH
MY MAKER" HE SAYS-NOTI-
FLED OF GOVERNOR O'NEAL'S
ACTION

That he had made his peace with his
Maker and that he was ready to die
was the statement made yesterday after
noon by Walter Jones. condemned to die
on the gallows Friday morning. when
told that the pardon board and the gov
ernor had refused to interfere in his
case.
81 have nothing more to say than what
have already said'' he answered in re-
ply to a question. "for what I have said
does not appear to have done any good"
Had you any hopes of executive
clemency?"
''Yes, sir. / thought the fact that adj
ditional testimony in my favor presented
to the authorities would cause a stay
of execution at least but it seems not. :
Walter are you ready to die?"

WALTER JONES SAYS HE
is NOT AFRAID TO DIE


Il am and with smile he added
Il have made my peace with my Maker,
and am not afraid"
Jones maintained the same camness
that has masked his demeanor since
confined in the county Jail and during
his trial and conviction. Even when
told that the last hope had vanished he
made no outward sign of emotion and
no comment When speaking to the re-
porter he continually smiled and showed
not the slightest trace of fear. That he
will meet his death as bravely as did
the two men that were executed nearly
two weeks ago is the opinion of the jail
officials
The crime for which he was convicted
and sentenced to die was the murder of
Lawrence B. Evans, superintendent of
Mary Lee mines. who was assassnated
near the mouth of the mines about three
years ago. Jones made confession of
the crime which he afterward denied
when placed on trial The jury convict
ed him, however, and he received the
death sentence.
The execution will take place Friday
morning at II o'clock in the yard of the
county jail

his delayed communication supposedly in
response to this request His letter is so
discourteous to me personally and Off
cially. and is followed by other ufsup-
portable inuendoes, and so utterly de-
void of any facts whatever and apparently
written for the sole purpose of throwing
MUD that [ decline to make any answer
to it take any further notice of the
letter whatever.
However, / make this statement to
the public generally: If anyone has any
fact showing or tending to show that Mr.
Miller is not the proper man for this
work I shall willingly receive and care
fully consider that. [ will also be glad
to lay that Information before the other
commissioners for consideration. Our
whole purpose is to get this important
work done by the very best talent the
city can afford. The commissioners will
not employ any man who Is not compe-
tent or has any interests to serve other
than the city's in this work"
This is the finale of the proposition
brought about by Mr. Stack unless the
commission as whole takes official ex-
ceptions to the first letter and also to the
inuendoes contained in the recent COM
muncation of Mr.. Stack.

That's the plea being sent out by several
OF the churches and other organizations
Of the city who are preparing to get into
the campaign to win the $3.50 in gold
prizes to be given away on the last night
of the potlatch festival, April 2i and 25
1t is now time to enter the campaign.
Voting has begun and all churches or
other organizations eligible should send
their names to the Chamber of Commerce
today and signify their intention of enter
ing the campaign to soocit votes from
the members of the Order of Potlatch.
The ballot boxes of the county have
been distributed at the selected polling
places for the potlatch election and some
voting has been done, but not enough to
influence the results In any way providing
other organizations begin their campaigns
at once. Any church or fraternal organi-
zation or labor society waiting until the
last few weeks before the close of the
polls will be seriously handicapped.
