PLEADED HIS OWN CASE
Nimrod Uric, Confessed Murderer,
Breaks Down in Cell When
Good News Comes.

Nimrod Uric, confessed murderer Of
Mrs. Jean Quillici of Inlay, will not
go to the gallows to pay the penalty
Of his crime. An eleventh-hour COM
mutation of sentence saved the muir
derer's neck last night, when the board
of pardons decreed that in lieu of
death he shall spend the remainder of
his life in the states prison.
The decision of the board was
reached shortly after 9 o'clock and the
news was conveyed to the condemned
man. a few minutes later. Uric broke
down when told of the action of the
board, and sobbed like a child as he lay
on his cot in the condemned cell. He
had a%nxiously awaited new of the ac-
ton Of the pardon board from the time
he was asked to repeat the story of the
crime committed by himself and J..
Frank TRAINER to the members of the
board yesterday afternoon. When
% Warden Cowing entered the con
demned cell to tell him of the action of
the board the murderer arose to greet
him wild-eyed, historical and on the
verge of a complete nervous break
down as a result of the strain he had
undergone in the last few days.
By the action OF the board Uric walks
from the shadow of the gallows and an
aged, gray-haired, ~sorrowing mother
may return to her farm in Idaho con-
tent in the knowledge that she was
instrumental in saving her son from
the hangman's moose.
The board of pardons went a STEP
further in this case than it has ever
gone in a similar matter. The trip to
the prison for the purpose of question
ing a murderer and listening to his
story of the crime for which he was
sentenced to die established a prece-
dent.
Trainer Refuses to Talk. .
After listening to Urie's relation of
the details of the murder the board en-
tered the condemned cell and. attempt
ed to interview TRAINER, who is to be
shot next month for the murder.
TRAINER was sullen and insolent and
refused to answer the questions put to
him by members OF the board.
Yesterday Urie's mother and brother
babe him farewell, and preparations
were made by the prison officials tc
carry out the mandate of the law il
case the board refused to commute the
murderer's sentence. The rope wa:
tested and the trap made ready. Ii
fact, all the details except the selection
of the guards to cut the cords had beer
completed and everything was in readi
ness for the execution.
In all probability the gallows at thu
states prison will never again be uset
to send a murderer to eternity. Tram
ner and Mirkovich have selected shoot
ing in preference to hanging, and a bill
providing for electrocution has passet
the assembly and now is pending in th'
senate. 1t is more than likely tn
gallows will be dismantled.

MORE DEPOT
 ROOM LIKELY
Southwestern Has Plans for Alterations-May Give Fa. cilities Approaching Those at Douglas and Tucson

Notice served on I. C. Adams. pop- uiar confectionery and cigar staEI man at the Southwestern deI.t that the space occupied by his place of business would have to be yacatel in November, leads to the belief tha: the Southwestern is preparing to do something for Bisbee in the matter of depot facilities which will compare in some degree at least with the ira- proYements that Douglas and Tucson have 'benefitted from in the last year.
 At the present time a considerable force is employed in taking down the rear wall of the depot building. where new construction was made necessary by the wreeking of this wall by a box car which was pushed through it. The notice to Mir. Adams was subsequent to this accident from which it is gathered that the railroad engineers and architects made plans for general improvements in the building while they were about the plans for reconstruction of the vail. The amount of Bisbee traffic and use of the depot in the city by the trav- cling public is very large. probably amounting to a greater volume than is handled in both Tucson and Doug las. While there is plenty of room on the second floor of the present building for office purposes, sHe ground floor waiting rd2m accom- modations are much short of needs. This fact is growing more marked each day. It is one that it is known the company has been cognizant oi Tor some time and 1t is also kn0wn

that there have been plans unj5T consideration for changes which will better recent conditions. By reason of the limited area at the command of the company about it's terminal yards, however, the problem. of i'm provements and enlargements at this location is made difficult -cae.
 Mir Adams has not yet GeciGea where he will temporarily locate his business, but hopes to get some where in the vicinity of the depot. which he considers the best business center of the city Wherever h's sign may go out it is certain that his neighbors and the public win
 know he has landed, for he IS tre xiuz booster in the district aud ur i derstands the art of lett pg every
