WHITE PINES TWO HANGTNGS
HANK PARLSH,S UGLY RECORD

with lis long history Of more than
fifty years as a county. during which
time II went through the rough and
ready dsFs of the carry mining ex-
citementa aud has had mere
murder8 sine, White Pine county
has had bui two legitimate axecu-
tions and only one of those since the
county seal was removed to Ely.
Both were by fhe same sheriff. Will
liam Bassotl. Who held the Office a.
the time the courthouse was re.
moved.
The first of these was a mar
named Crutehley. He was hanged in
the Wilmington building at Hamil-
ton, about SO or ST. Instead of
erecting a seaffold nj of doors and
having an execution of the ordinary
kind - that period, floor boards
were Hfuoved in the building and
the condemned nan was dropped
Wilmington building was used as the
courthouse.
Crutehiey had killed a man named
Hewlett at Hunter. in Butte valley.
Hunter was an old place about fifteen
miles s%outherly from the western
mouth of Egan canyon.
The second and far more notable
execution was for 2 murder commit
ted in Lincoln county The con
demned man was Hank Parish. He
killed a man named Thompson ar
Royal City, about sixteen miles north
OF Phoebe. the place since being called
Jackrabbit.
Jimmy Curtis. now n Of the
force taking rare of the courthouse
lawn and enc of the early pioneers
of Nevada. was either owner of or
working in a small saloon at Royal
City at the time. Inside a poker
game was running and il was at
tracing some interest from by
ISLANDERS. Thompson. who worked
in the Day mine, was n of the play
ers and Parish stood az his back
leaning over him and throwing n lot
of weight on him. Thompson rfo=
tested at this. The instant ne did
It Parish drew out a dirk knife md
settled II into ~Thoapson's abdon IN,
saying as he did so that Thompson
was one of the men who had tried 10
lynch him in Montana
Thompson lived two .1aYs and saiA
he never had seen Paflaa before The
wound was not moro than half an
inch long at the surface.
Parish made a run for the door
and when outside he climbed up the
side of Bristol mountain. where he
ran into a tunnel and concealed HIM
self for a time. Meanwhile a posse
was organized and went after him.
Parish had no gun and with the
members OF the posse armed with
rifles. s~hotguns and pistols he sur
rendered and was taken TO Phoebe.
The feeling against him was i'm
tense but no violence occurred He
applied for a change of venue and
this was granted on account OF the
condition OF the public mind.
Brought to Ely for tria. he was
promptly convicted of first degree
murder. The old courthouse stood
on the site of the present one and
Sheriff Bassett this time erected an
outdoor scaffold directly back OF the
building He enclosed the scaffold
and a few yards Of space with can
vas. Some fifty or sixty invitations
were issued and that many men
we're present. Parish walked onto
the seaffold without weakening. He
was n large man and when the tran
was sprung his weight almost sew
