BINGHAM, Dec. 9.-Seversl confer
ences were held yesterday between
Sheriff Andrew Smith. Jr., and Others
interested In the capture Of Lopez, but
no satisfactory plan Of action could be
agreed upon. Following the announce.
ment of $1,000 reward by Governor
Spry, about twenty volunteers I'D.
peared at the Andy tunnel late this
afternoon and expressed a desire to 90
in and hunt for Lopez.
Sheriff Smith refused to permit sny
\ of them to enter. He said he believed
| it would be suicidal and that he could
not give his permission The volun-
teers, a number Of whom were miners,
were considerably perturbed by the de
ciston OF the sheriff, declaring that
they could not see the use in the state
offering reward il no one was to be
permitted to try and yin it.
Bulkheading was the only work done
around the mine yesterday A bulk,
head has been put in just beyond the
hoist in the Andy tunnel and another
just beyond the Andy incline in the
Minnie tunnel. Another bulkhead has
been placed in the passageway con-
Meeting the Minnie and Pedro tunnels.
There is cave-in at the back of the
Parnell and although Lopez can get in
at the back OF the Parnell short dis.
tance, the hole runs to a blind which
he cannot pass.
Guards Stationed.
As miners are working on the Andy
level, that tunnel has not been bulk
headed. Guards are stationed at the
mouth of the incline, however, thus
cutting off that avenue to the fugitive,
who is still believed to be above the
Andy level. Lopez is now restricted to
about fve miles of tunnel and Slopes,
If the story Of the Greek miner. Karos,
concerning his whereabouts Is true. All
believe that the Greek is telling the
truth.
julius Corrello, former partner of
Lopez, received letter through the
mails this afternoon which was signed
by Raphael Lopez" 1t was post
marked Salt Lake. The letter is be
leved to be either hoax or an at
tempt by some friend of the Mexican
to draw the hunters away from the
Apex mine if possible in order to give
the desperado chance to escape.
Signatures Of Lopez on ils at the
Highland Boy mine also indicate that
the signature to the letter is forgery.
Lopez invariably signed his first name
as " Ralph instead of 20 Raphael. He
also spelled his name "Lopez," while
that on the letter is spelled i'Lopes.
A number of the words are misspelled in
the letter also. On the whole little is
thought OF the letter 1t is believed to
be crude forgery.
A free translation of the letter is as
follows;

ELIJAH GREENWOOD
 PAID THE PENALTY
NEGRO MURDERER HANGED IN JAIL YARD AT LITTLE ROCK
 YESTERDAY.
Governor FutreIl Stayed Execution Until Middle oi the Aft
 CrnOOn.

Little Rock, July 14.--Elijah Green wood, negro murderer. condemned to die on the gallows between 12 and | o'clock today was granted a respite until 3 o'clock by Acting Governor J. M. Futrell, but was hanged at S:1a p. m. in the jail yard.
 All preparations for the hanging were being made at the county jail this morning when telephone mes sage was received from the gover- nor's office, asking that the time of the execution be set for 3 o'clock.
 Greenwood lost all hopes of execu- tive clemency and passed the morn ing sitting morosely and with bowed head ill the death cell on the third floor of the jail. He had but little to say to his jailers. A few callers came to offer words of cheer to the doom- ed man, but he paid little attention to them.
 Greenwood ate big Sunday din ner of his own ordering Sheriff Hutton told the negro that he could make out his own menu for his meals up until the time of the hanging and the negro was not modest in his de maads. He ate hearty breakfast to- day and appeared glad that his din- ner, the last meal, was not to be hurried.
 County Physician Shepherd and his assistants were the official doctors at the execution. Several other physic- ians were invited to witness the hang ing. z ,M4
 Greenwood murdered a negro wo- man in the county several months ago, presumably for the purpose of robbery. His conviction was largely due to a confession made to the po- lice, which he said on the stand, was obtained by third degree methods. The police officials denied under oath that threats or abuse were used in secur- ing the confession and brought dis interested witnesses to prove that Greenwood made the statements sign ed by him of his own free will.
 SWOre Falsely.
 Acting Governor Futrell received information today that one of the wit nesses who testified against Elijah Greenwood, negro, condemned to die on the gallows swore falsely at the trial
