Matt FARRELL Pays Penalty

Moundsville, July 9.-Matt
farrell. aged %, was hanged at
the state prison today late today
for the murder of Silas Nance,
town marshall of Eksdale. Be-
fore going to the gallows FARRELL
confessed the crime. Convicts
In the penitentiary attempted to
save Jarrell's life by collecting
money among themselves with
which to send an attorney to
Charleston to plead with Govern
or Hatfield but the executive re-
fused clemency.
FARRELL is said to have been the
coolest man in the shadow of the
gallows in the history of West
Virginia. He habitually joked
with his keepers about his i'm
pending execution and boosted
of his escapades which led to his
arrest on % occasions. One
week ago he viewed the bodies
lof two negroes who had been
hanged and laughed audibly as
he assured the corpses that he
would soon be with them.
FARRELL had been out of the pen
less than two years when he
committed the murder which he
expiated on the gallows today.
His previous conviction was for
felonious assault. He quarreled
with a man in a poker game, re-
moved his artificial leg and beat
his victim till he thought he was
dead. Two years ago he killed a
miner in Oakley, Kanawha coun-
ty, and fled to Eksdale, a few
miles distant. When Silas
Nance, the marshall, attempted
to arrest him, FARRELL killed
Nance.
A young girl who witnessed
the murder started crying and
FARRELL shot her also but she re-
covered.

To EnjOin High School

From certain movements being
made by few opponents of the
High School movement it is
thought that an effort will be
made to delay the establishment
of the school either by eajoining
the Board of Directors from lay
ing the levy required for the
building or by some other hinder
ing process.
j. M. Harper, an attorney of
of Spencer, who is said to be en-
ployed by the vigilance COM
nittee", called up County Clerk
Fleming, Tuesday, and directed
copies of all the orders entered in
connection with the High School
election to be made. The work
was finished late Tuesday
night and they were dispatched
to Spencer that night. 1t is re-
ported that men are riding the
county, circulating petitions Tor
some purpose, but as recall is not
in effect in West Virginia. We
are at a loss to determine what
can be accomplished by petitions.
1t is reported that one formerly
high in educational circles in this
county is engaged in the business.
