Never Confessed and Pro-
tested Innocence in Final
Statement From the
ScaffOld
PATHETIC SCENE AS
RELATIVES BID HIM
FAREWELL FOREVER
Just Before Beginning March to the
Gallows He Gives Bible to Con-
demned Negro and Offers
What Consolation
He Can

With the same degree of calmness ano
courage that characterized the execution
of his brother Arthur two weeks ago
Walter Jones met his death on the gal
lows in the jail yard yesterday at moor
for the murder of Lawrence B. Evans
His nerve never failed him for mo-
ment, either during the final prelmi.
naries or when he stood in the shadow
of death on the gallows.
While he made a short statement from
the scaffold and professed religion, he
never confessed to the crime for which
he was executed, but alleged his convic-
ton had been secured by false testimony
and that the confession he and his broth
er had made was not true but had beer
made on alleged promises of immunity
made to them by a detective.
The trap was sprung at 1155 and eight
minutes later Jones was pronounced dead
by DR.. R. H. Hambrick. DIR. Charles
Whelan, DIR. w. P. McAdory and DIR
Robert Nelson, the attending physicians
His body was removed to the undertake
ing establishment of Lige 10y, where il
was prepared for burial
Slept Well Thursday Night
Jones slept we'll Thursday night anc
ate hearty breakfast yesterday morn
ing He donned the new blue serge suit
of clothes, white shirt and black tie pro.
vided by the sheriff and announced thai
he was ready and that he would like tc
see all his people. His mother, Mrs
Morningstar, his sisters. Miss Myrtle and
Bessie, Mrs Arthur Jones and severa
other relatives visited him and stayed
until the last minute. While the scene
was very pathetic it was not quite as
much so as the scene in the same dreaded
chamber two weeks ago for at that time
the walls of two wives who We're soon
to be widows and the cries of six chill
dren who We're to be orphans brought
tears to eyes long unused to weeping
Still the scene was distressing and
everyone felt the deepest sympathy for
the twice bereaved old mother, who had
done everything in her power for the
son who was soon to be taken away for
ever. As the hour approached II, the
relatives were told kindly by Deputy
Sheriff Sugg that the time for the fina
parting had come. The women shed many
tears as they bade the last earthly fare
well and were led weeping away.
Jones displayed much emotion while
with his relatives but as they left he
soon recovered his usual calmness. He
talked freely with those around him and
on looking out of the window at the as.
sembled crowds. turned to a reporter
and asked: what do you reckon causes
the crowd to gather on an occasion like
this?"
Looking out of the window he saw ar
acquaintance standing in the alley. Wav-
ing his hand, he called, "How are yor
coming on?' The man replied by askins

h more than the political revela-

much more than the political reVela-
lions.
Everyone, indeed, knew that the
National Association of Manufacture
ers maintained lobby at Washing
ton and in most state capitals and
took these things for granted.
But while labor leaders frequently
charged that the N. A. M. used dirty,
Underhand methods in fighting work
ing men, no absolute proof Of this
was produced and it was allowed that
since the men who made the charges
were naturally prejudiced the
charges might be exaggerated.
The absolute charges of Colonel
Mulhall, and the proof he says he
has in his hands, show that the
charges Of labor leaders are correct.
Another thing that hurts deeply
the National Association of Manufac-
turers is MuIhalPs story of how
agents of the association trailed and
tried to bride and trap Samuel Com
peTs, Frank Morrison and other Off
Gals of the American Federation of
Labor and invariably failed.
The National Association of Manu-
facturers has made point of charg-
ing that labor leaders were corrupt
and now it is proved that labor lead
ers could not be corrupted by the
N. A. M. when that body of high
minded men of business was spend
ing thousands to try and corrupt
them.
Harold F. Mccormick, son-in-law
of John D. Rockefeller, and treasurer

union representative from the stock
yards district, coTToborating the

Typographical Union No. 16 has
appointed a committee to investigate
the Mulhan charges that the National
Association of Manufacturers used
bribery to break the job printers
strike. 1t is probable that other Chi
cago labor bodies will take similar
action.
Washington, June ao.-Confrma-
ton of the Mulhall charges was given
at American Federation of Labor
headquarters today.
1t was pointed out how President
Gompers publicly declared at the
convention of the federation Nov.
1923 at Norfolk, Va, of being ap-
preached by an agent of the National
Association of Manufacturers, who
called himself Brandenburg and
claimed to represent President Van
CIeave of the National Association of
Manufacturers.
1t seemed certain today that the
House will order an Independent
probe of the MulhaH charges.
The OveTman lobby investigation
committee of the Senate will go into
them fully.

HAPPY FAREWELL PARTY
FOR DANIEL |. 0'RERN

The informal banquet arranged by
members of the knights of Columbus
as a farewell compliment to Attorney
Daniel L. O'Hern who is soon to leave
Missoula for Glendive, proved to be
rather a p%retentious affair at the Pal
ace last evening. There We're so pres
ent, each one a personal friend and
adnfrer of the young attorney whom
Missoula regrets to lose. Although not
a lodge affair, only members were
present, they, especially, regretting
Mr.. OHern's decision to leave as he
is district deputy of the order. John
II. Tolan was POSTMASTER and under
his able guidance there was not a dun
minute the whole evening. In each
of the many speeches made ran a sin
cere sentiment of regret at the loss
of a brother knight and personal friend.
There was orchestra music during the
meal and several special musical num-
bers. AS cornet solos Frank Martz
played several of Mr.. O'Hern's favor
lite hymns" Patrick Mclaughlin SANG
a solo and Professor Dolliver of the
Loyola school played a piano number.

COUNTERFE|TS
DETECTED
GANG IN MULLAN "SHOVES THE
QUEER IN SLOT MACHINES
AND GETS AWAY.

Mullan, Feb. 13.-(Special.)-Two or
three rude counterfciters were "shov-
ing the queer in Mullan Monday and
Tuesday of this week. The mcthod
employed was an attempt to beat the
slot machines with coins rudely man
ufactured from babbit metal in plaster
cast mOulds. The coins were United
States half dollars and United States
and Canadian quarters. The hot
metal was poured in the moulds and
the reverse side made flush with a
file. When the coins were placed in
the machines they presented the
stamped side to view. Nearly all the
machines in town received some of
the coins. The raid, however, received
a sudden check when one mi of
the gang Wedged an imperfect half
dollar in one of the machines in town
and was unable to get it out. The po-
lice were Immediately notified, but
every member of the gang had dis
appeared. The attempt to initiate
tanda coins brings the members of
the gang under the penalties of the
counterfeiting laws, Which are severe.
