Obtala Posses, eloa af Hia Property. CASPER, Wyo.. March 22. (Special.! preparations for tha execution ot Charles Woodward, murderer of Sheriff Richer, which will occur In the yard ot the county Jail here next Friday, are nearing comple tion. The gallowa la in place, the rope, a twisted hemp band of pure white, baa been purchased, invltatlona hava been iaaued to the. aeveral sheriffs throughout the state and to others who will witness the execu tion and everything la almost In readiness for the first legal hanging Casper has ever had. No appeal for Woodward has been mads to the supreme court and In all prob ability the murderer will pay tha penalty of hia awful 'crime on Good Friday. , ' It la stated here that If Woodward Is given an opportunity to make an address on the gallows, and . he undoubtedly will be granted tha aame, he will make noma startling statements, disclosing what la al leged to hava been a well-laid plot to ruin him body and soul. It Is alleged that Wood ward will tell the story in full af his troubles and ot the trap laid for him by his enemies that resulted in his downfall. A "prominent ranchman tor Whom Wood ward worked a number of years, claims to know all about thla plot. Ha ears Wood ward was an honest. Industrious fallow, hard-working and law-abiding until he was thrown into Jail last fall. Woodward se cured a small patch of land in the Rattle snake mountalna and built a comfortable home there. He herded aheep In tha winter J and sheared In the spring, working on hia own place in the summer months. About a year ago parties living near him began to cause him trouble. One mad attempted ta aecure hia ranch by filing a mineral claim there, bnt failed.. Woodward complained at tha time that hia eaemlea were working ta ruin him and be would remain with the ranch come what might. He bad Just been married and the persistence of his enemies to drive him out ot the country almost drove him Insane. The climax waa reached last fall when Woodward waa arrested for robbing a ranch house on an alleged trumped-up charge in stigated by his enemies. Though little evi denca waa producsd against him at the pre liminary trial Woodward waa bound over to the' district court. Ths ranchman aays aeveral persons offered to go on Woodward's bond, but tbat Sheriff Richer warned them that Woodward would aklp out. of the coun try Just as boob aa released aad leave them In the lurch:. The ranchman alao ears that ha knowa 1 Woodward waa kept In Jail so tbat ha could not prova upon hia home stead. It la alleged that while he was In Jail Ms ansmles secured hia plaee. "I know of aeveral parties that tried ta turn Mrs. Woodward against her "husband." said ths ranchman. "They told her that he waa sura ta go to tha penitentiary and tbat If she would testify against htm the com munity would think more of her for It, They also told her that Woodward had told the men at tha Jail that ahe had bees un true ta him and that he wished she could be seat to tha penitentiary. I know these stories were falsa, for I hava aaea Wood ward and hia wife together several tlma and a mora happy aad agreeable eon pie would ba hard to find.
