No New Evidence Has
Been Obtained.

Salt Lake City. Nov. 1s.-Joseph

John q. Morrison. grocer, and his son,
Airing, was today executed by shoot
ing at the state penitentiary here.
Under the Utah law he was allow
ed to choose between shooting and

President Wilson twice appealed
for q further respite for Hillstrom.
The Swedish ambassador also inter-
vened. The presidents second request,
made yesterday, was denied by Gov

facts.
At 8 o'clock this morning, Gov.

President Wilson
Attorneys fer Hilistrom Immediate
~ asked the. governor to, grant q ten
day respite. Members OF the pardon
board said they were inclined to
think the alleged affidavits merely .
ruse to delay the execution.
The board held a hurried confer
ence and decided not to interfere with
the execution. 1t was reported at that
time that Hillstrom was weak and
showing signs Of breaking under the
strain. The execution took place at
7:42 a. m.
When officers came to get Hill
strom. he broke down and started to
struggle with them, but when he saw
the sheriff. he calmed down and
threw up his hands.
Accompanied by officers he walked
to the death chair, and after he was
seated he was asked If he had any
thing to say. He said:
Gentlemen, I die with a clear con-
science. I never did anything wrong in
my life. die fighting, not like a cow
ard. Well, I'm going, goodbye"
When the officers started to give
the command to the firing squad, Hill
strom yelled: Fire" The squad fred
and the bullets pierced his heart He
was dead in one minute and ten Sec
onds after the volley was fred.
Fire, Let Her Go.
Fire, let her co." were Joseph
Hillstrom's last words, uttered an in
stant before the rifles of the firing
squad ended his life.
Although he was self-possessed and
asserted his innocence when he faced
his executioners. Hillstrom had a SEN
sational nervous collapse just previ-
ously, when he tied the door Of his
cell at the state prison with strips
torn from his blanket, fought tho
guards f1ercely with the handle Of q.
broom he snatched from an attend.
ant in the corridor.
Outburst Unexpected.
Hillstrom's outburst was unerpect-
ed. He retired calmly last night and
remained apparently in sleep until
early morning. He arose about 4
o'clock and began to shake the cell
door, shaking as if in nightmare.
The noise reached the outside guards.

suit of acute indigestion and heart
trouble He was II years old. Friday
morning he complained of indigestion
which became aggravated as the day
advanced. He grew steadily worse un
til the end came.
Judge Nerrick was appointed De
cember IL, 1896, by Governor Lowndes,
to fill out the unexpired term of Judge
John B. Brooke. retired, on account OF
having reached the age limit. The fol
lowing wear he was elected by the
Republicans for a term of Is years.
During the administration of Governor
Crothers Judge Merrick was retired on
account of having reached the age linn
| it, and Judge T. Van Clagett was ap-
pointed until the next succeeding cleo
ton. when Judge Fillmore Beall, Dem
ocrat, was elected.
Judge Merrick was born in Charles
county, near Port Tobacco, April %,
1889. During the Civil War he was

ordinary conditions.

Keeping Cabbage.

Last Spring saw question in The
R. NY, asking how the farmers kept
their cabbage 80 nice through the Win
ter. There were several answers, but
none of them told how it is done here.
I live equal distance from Auburn, Itha.
ca and Cortland, and nearly everyone
raises cabbage. The only way it is
stored here is to cut it the same as to
90 to the car and then set it on the
grass, stems down and only one deep
right along in rows. When done cover
with from Iix to eight inches OF straw
and leave until Spring. 1t is best to
put it on side hill or along board
fence where the snow will drift over it.
