GOVERNOR MICKEY MAKES STATEMENT
t. Laala Hu Preaeata Claim for
Deetraetloa at Him Laaeh
tend r Soldiers from
Nebraska.
(From a. Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, July 8. (Special.) The sym
pathizers of William Rhea, 'condemned to
hank next Friday at the state peniten
tiary In this city, have taken a new tack
by which they express confidence In their
ability to postpone and possibly perma
nently block the execution. A Judicial In
junction will be the method relied upon to
balk the hangman's noose, action In this
direction being taed on a technical con
struction .of the law governing executions
for murder and the granting of commuta
tions by the' governor. : . '
Tomorrow T. 1. Doyle, a Lincoln attorney,
is expected to go before the. supreme court
with an application for an Injunction to re
strain Warden Beemer of the penitentiary
from executing the sentence of hanging.
Mr. Doyle la an opponent of capital pun
ishment, as are many other members of the
Lancaster bar and with whom he has con
sulted upon his Intended action.
The chief contention which will be raised
Is that the courts fixed Rhea's execution
for April 25, 1002, but former Governor Sav
age Interposed by granting a respite until
July 10, 1903, in accordance with which It
Is now proposed to march Rhea to the
gallows and take his Ufa. This Mr. Doyle
declares, la tantamount to giving the gov
ernor the right to fix the date for an ex
ecution for murder, an act nowhere vested
In him by .the constitution or statutes,
either implied or direct. The further point
Is raised that such an act by the governor
Is purely executive,-whereas the fixing of a
date for a hanging Is purely a Judicial mat
ter and should alone ba done by the courts.
Mr. Doyle today declined to outline his
plans In full, althoogk he admitted that the
ippllcatlon for the Injunction wouiu aureijf
roads to harvest hands, this concession
having been granted to travelers from Lin
coin the same as from Missouri river
points.
The labor bureau today received numer
ous letters from farmers In western Ne
braska, In which frantic appeals were made
for laborers. The shortage In labor In the
west Is described as a grave affair, which
may curtail the successful hsrvestlng of
the wheat crop unless early relief Is forth
coming. Governor Refuses Extradition.
Governor Mickey today refused to per
mit the extradition of O. D. Wolf of Sew
ard county, Nebraska, to Summit county,
Utah, on the charge of obtaining money
under false pretenses. The governor was
convinced by Wolfs plea that the criminal
prosecution was merely a cloak for the
filing of a civil suit; besides which It was
shown that the Utah statutes made the
crime charged only a misdemeanor and
the governor was not dl.iposed to honor
a requisition which only charged a mis
demeanor. Wolf has not been In the cus
tody of the Utah county sheriff, at any
time, that official failing to present satis
factory proof of his authority. Wolf went
to his home In Seward county today,
while the Utah sheriff returned west
empty handed.

Adjutant General Culver Is at a loss to
understand a communication that has Just
reached him from an attorney named 8.
H. Ilerbeson of St. Louis, which reads as
follows:
I enclose you herewith an affidavit signed
bv John Pecur m to the ants of lawless
ness resulting In the loss of his stand and
the stork therein contained, committed by

ing the dedication of the Worlds Fair,

and we hcpe that an amlrable adjust

poor man and can 111 afford to stand this
loss. I'lease let me hear from you at an

Governor Mickey has Issued a public
statement defining his reasons for refusing
to Interfere with the ruling of tho courts
Jn Rhea'a cae. Tha governor has been
subjected to persistent pressure for aevaral
weeks to commute Rhea'a sentence and his
decision to let the law. take Us course has
stirred up' some resentment against him
In certain quarters. Ha states that the re

fully and with full consideration of all the

Ketchum was tried alone. The court room
was packed and much trouble was experi
enced In keeping the spectators quiet. Many
threats were heard and had not cooler
heads been present there would probably
have been a riot, as feeling was very strong.
Sympathy was all with the young woman,
who told how terribly she had been used.
She was In love with Snodgrass and an
elopment was planned for tha night of
June 27. Snodgrass took her out In a
buggy, picked up young Ketchum and after
administering some drug they proceeded
with her to a vacant house, where they ac
complished their purpose. The trial lasted
all day. County Judge Wilson bound
Ketchum over to the district court under
$1,500 bond, and not being able to furnish It
Ketchum was taken to the Omaha Jail.
Every step possible Is being taken to catch
Snodgrass. A reward ot $50 has been
offered and will probably ba raised without
limit, as the girl's parents are determined
to push tha case to the bitter end.

that there la no such regiment as the Twen
