Tuscarora that George Ham had shot
his wife. Mr. Canewell accompanied

Justice of the Peace Clark OF TusCa
was held this morning.
1t is said that Ham made several
statements in regards 10 the affair and
from what has been adduced from the
facts in the case, IL is thought that he
and his wife had entered into Il suicide
pact. That the man was TO kill his
wife and then himself, but it seems
that he lacked the courage to carry ou
his end of the bargain and the State
OF Nevada may have to carry out the
completion of the death pact, by exc
cutting Ham at Carson City.
Ham was taken in charge by Mr.
Cantwell and DR.. West and brought
back to E!lko, where he was placed il
the county Jail.
Ham will have his preliminary OK
animation at Tuscarora next Monda!
before Justice of the Peace Clark a
that place.
Ham is well known in Elko count!
and 1t is alleged that last fall he wa!
compelled to leave Tuscarora on &C
count of some trouble he had there
He and his wife Is said to have beer
addicted to the use of drugs and haC
| lived miserable existence for tht
past few months. 1t Is also ALLEGED
that Ham was in the county hospita
here some time ago for treatment o
the drug habit.
Ham has refused, so far, to make
statement of the affair or give an!
| reasons for killing his wife, to the OF
ficers. When brought in he was in ;
state of collapse and may be able L
make q statement later.

BISHOP GETS FIVE
TO TWENTY YEARS

The district court room was crowded
last night by men and women with
morbid curiosity to see an unfortunate
fellow being brought before the bar of
justice to receive sentence for a crime
which he entered plea of guilty.
The crowd had gathered to hear
sentence pronounced on Joseph A.
Bishop. who had in the afternoon en-
tered plea Of guilty OF being an ac-
complice In attempt to poison NJ. B.
Connell
At exactly 9:05 O'clock last night,
Bishop was brought into court, by
Undersheriff Lamon and very shortly
after Judge C. ]. McFadden, sitting for
Judge Taber. entered the court room
and taking his place on the bench,
Bishop was directed to stand. He was
asked II he had anything to say why
sentence should not be pronounced.
The crowd craned their necks to get
glimpse Of the defendant as he an
swered the court query in a low mega
tive.
There was no conjecture as to the
probable sentence by those who are
familiar with the law as the sentence
is fixed by statute, being from five to
twenty years in the state penitentiary,
which sentence was pronounced by the
court.
Judge McFadden Immediately left
the court room, the prisoner was TAX
en- out by the bailiff and the crowd
filed out. The entire proceeding took
but three minutes, but Bishop, who
displayed no emotion as sentence was
pronounced, will put in five years or
more of his time as a servant of the
state and the law will have been paid
| its price.
That Joseph Bishop as well as Mrs.
| Ella Connell, deserve their fate, was
the consensus of opinion expressed by
the large crowd of spectators. for the
crime which they were charged, in the
attempting to take the life Of an old
citizen, who has never been known to
have injured anyone.
Considerable credit is due to Sheriff
]. C. Harris and his officers in their
able handling of the case and in the
prompt and satisfactory manner in
which the cases were disposed of at a
great saving to the county for long
drawn out trials.
1t is apparent that the defendants
saw no hope for escape from the net
| work of evidence which surrounded
| them, secured by Sheriff J. C. Harris
and his men, and the list of witnesses
appearing on the complaint against
| Bishop, including many prominent peo-
pie of Elko, tends TO convey that the
prosecution were confident of a con-
Yiction.
The witnesses named in the infor'
nation were DR.. a. ]. Hood, Drucilla
Massey, c. II. Rowe, Ella. Connell, L.
r. Englert, c. S. Kingery. w. S. Du'
pont, Anna Hickey and B. J. McQuaid.
Bishop was taken to Carson City
last night at 1855 on No. S, by Sheriff
]. C. Harris. Mrs. Connell is still be-
ing held here in the county Jail.
Mrs. Connell sent for her husband,
NJ B. Connell Tuesday afternoon and
he responded and visited the woman
at the Jail. 1t is said that Mrs. Con
nell begged for forgiveness and that
she told the whole story of the at
tempt on his life and the parties inter
ested and other arrests are expected
TO follow soon.
