CHARLES PRICE MURDERER IN
FIRST DEGREE, JURY DECIDES
His Wife, Accused of Completely in Crime,
Exonerated After Two Hours
Deliberation by Jurors.

Is it true that some men are doomed
to the gallows from birth and that
nature marks these unfortunate per-
sons by a pronounced ring around
the neck as IL the exact space for the
hangman's rope was already marked
out for him?
Be this as it may. Charles Price.
colOred, has such a ring around his
neck" and he was convicted of mur-
der in the first degree by a jury in
Justice Gould's court, Criminal Court
No. ]. late yesterday afternoon after
the jury had been out two hours.
Prices wife was acquitted by the
same jury. Both Charles Price and
his wife. Annie Price, were on trial
for murder In the first degree in con-
nection with the death May 30. 1918, of
Robert Smith. colored. in Springman's
court during a quarrel over some
small change.
The jury found Price guilty as in
dicted'' and this means that he will
go to the gallows unless President
Wilson commutes the death sentence
which will be given by Justice Gould
in a couple OF week.
1t is not to be presumed that all
men who go to the gallows have such
rings around their necks" but it is a
matter of history that the martyr
Nathan Hale had such "A ring around
his neck which caused comment
among his boy friends when he was
youth. and perhaps it was on this
theory that a number of spectators
at the trial yesterday who were sit
ting directly behind Price noticed that
he was marked"
Attorney James A. O'Shea defended
Price and his wife. 1t was Prices
endeavor to prove that he shot in
self defense but according to the tes-
timony Smith was not armed. save
with a plug OF tobacco. Assistant
District Attorney ]. J. O'Leary pros
ecuted the case.
According to the testimony a num-
her of persons were gathered at the
Price home in Springman's Court for
the purpose of buying liquor. 1t Is
said that Smith asked Price change
from a dollar. Price is said to have
told Smith he did not owe him change
from dollar but when the latter
persisted. according to the testimony.
he said to his wife:

l,000 GALLONS 0F WH|SKEY POURED
 INTO STREET

TOMBSTONE, May ,23.-The work of pouring 1000 gallons of whiskey in- to the streets of Tombstone was com pleted here May 15 by Undersheriff George Henshaw and six deputies, who destroyed the liquor on an order issued by Judge A. c. Lockwood of the Superior court. The work was begun the previous afternoon when two hundred gallons were dumped into Toughnut street, in front of the county jail, and rushed down. the gulleys in streams while hundreds of thirsty citizens looked on. Yesterday the job was completed
 The whiskey was in barrels con- taining approximately 40 gallons each, and at retail bootleg prices the value of the amount destroyed was over $50,0O0. In addition to the whiskey, there were several hundred gallons of wine at Bisbee, Lowell and Douglas to be destroyed in the near future.
 The contraband whiskey had been held in the county jail for over year, dating back to the administration of Sheriff Wheeler, through that of Sher- if Welch, with the expectation that the Red Cross or the War Department would accept it to be used for the al cohol that could be extracted there from.
 Sheriff Welch, before he went out of office, had the whiskey, which was bottled goods, dumped into barrels, and whap tho arduous toclx xuoS conn, pleted there were just 9 barrels, or approximately 1000 gallons of the stuff ready for shipment It was to have been shipped to Phoenix to the United States marshal there under guard to be then forwarded to Washington, to- gether with several other carloads from other parts of the state. But the order to ship never arrived, for the war ended in November, and it has been held in the jail here ever since, with the expectation that the Red Cross or some other department of the government would accept it in order that it would not represent a | total waste.
 Sheriff James Mcdonald, before he left for the east last week, requested Judge Lockwood to issue an order al lowing him to destroy the liquor, should it appear that it would not be accepted by the government. Wednes-
 day the court, seeing that no action
 had been taken to accept the booze
 issued the order and the work-zof. de
 struction began.

100000 MINERS OF CENTRAL
 CONFERENCE COMMITTEE
Issues Will Be Debated Sev. eral Days Before Begin
 ming Strike.
COST OF MATERIALS
 HAVE DOUBLED

Buffalo, N. Y, Oct. 1.-The first lemand of the 100000 miners of the entrai bituminous field, calling for n increase of 60 per cent. in wages, was before the joint conference of miners and operators today. It was expected this and other issues would be debated for several days and that they would be later considered by committees before. coming to the fuli conference for a test vote which will determine whether the miners will carry out their threat to strike on Nc vember 1.
 There was a noticeable increase in confidence that a strike would be averted, although it was admitted that there must be broad concessions from both sides before common ground is reached.
 The principal arguments advanced by the miners for increased wages were the high cost of living and the advanced cost of all materials which go into the equipment of the work men. Many of these things which come out of the miners wages. such as fuses, have more than doubled in cost, it was claimed.
