this very thing In every Instance thisvote was held back until it was knownjust how many votes had been cast forother candidates and so the countrydelegates decided the nominations rightstraight through

There were many humorous features

Morris L Ritchie For District Judgabout the meeting not the least of thembeing the eulogistic speeches deliveredon behalf of the various candidatesThe humor of most of these speecheslay in their seriousness The hot airwhich was permitted to escape on theseoccasions made the temperature on theoutside seem frigid by comparisonAnother amusing feature was the expression by Secretary Axton of the YM C A of his suspicion that some ofthe lawyers who had made nominatingspeeches had received retainers fortheir services

Details of the MeetingBut here is the story seriatim

Chairman Moyer called the congregation to order in the civil courtroom at the joint building at 215 AfterSecretary Westervelt had read the callMr Moyer announced the selection ofD N Straup for temporary chairmanThe announcement was received with afair show of enthusiasm and MrStraup was encouraged to make aspeech

One of the most telling points hemade in favor of Republican doctrine-was his statement that it was as emi-nently proper for the Republicans tomeet in the civil court room as it hadbeen for the Democrats to meet in thecriminal court room for the purpose ofselecting judicial candidates At theconclusion of Mr Straups remarksWilliam S Marks of Tooele countywas escorted to his place as temporarysecretary-

Remarkable Plea for lflercy from the Condemned ManDeclares His Innocence

Imi

Abe Majors will be shot on FridayAug 17 for the murder of Captain

A Brown on the 30th of April1833 n the mountains of Box Eldercounty

The last hope of the prisoner and hisfriends was snuffed out yesterday after-noon when the board of pardons

its refusal to interfere withthe course of justice and commute thesentence to imprisonment for life

The friends of the prisoner did notlet the curtain fall without making agrand rally to save his life with theboard of pardons The final effort included several affidavits from BrighamCity a pathetic appeal from thestricken mother another equally pathetic apoeal from the lifelong friend-of the mother a friend who came fromher far eastern home to help it included a strong plea from Thomas Fitchthe attorney and strongest of all itincluded an adroit plea from the pris-oner himself

The faces of Governor Wells JudgesBartch and Baskin and Attorney General Bishop were a study as they listened to these pleas but they gave noevidence of what the decision would beIn the court room sat the poor motherbroken in health and spirit her littleboy Ralph her friend Miss Lulu Johnson and the two loyal women of thiscity who had espoused her cause

The board convened at 10 oclock andat once took up the consideration ofthe Majors case and Clerk Stevens proceeded to read the papers submitted

Affidavits SubmittedThere was an affidavit from B H

Jones to the effect that he considered-the testimony that might have been

bv George G Wells as to thekilling of Brown immaterial and thathe was not put on the stand for thatreason that Wells had made his statement at the coroners inquest and thatit was considered that there was nothing in it

There was an affidavit from WilliamFosgren denying that he had made thestatement attributed to him by PhilipsBorden and others Another communication from Henry A Melborn assistant prosecuting attorney of OaklandCal giving the bad record of Majors asa burglar at that place was read

There were numerous affidavits infavor of the prisoner from persons liv-ing in Brigham City airlhTen0fiig toshow that Majors did not get a fairtrial These affidavits had been gathered by the two Christian Sciencewomen who as they aver in the causeof humanity have done all in theirpower to save Majors They made aspecial trip to Brigham City to securethe affidavits

One of these was from James Borden

testifying that one ofthe jurors i r hose verdict Majorswas sentence d said before tinprisoners b o Jght to Brigham Cityhe hoped they would kill them beforethey brought them up that this wouldsave bother and that if he were on ajury he would vote to have them shot

Another was from Beulah Bordenwife of James Borden substantiatingthe statement made by her husband

Prejudice Against ajorsAnother was from Ricy H Jones one

of the attorneys who defended Majorsat his trial substantiating the affidavitof Vern Philips and going to show thatFosgren did make the statements credited to him showing strong prejudiceagainst Majors

Another was from J D Call one ofMajors attorneys denying an interview in the Salt Lake Tribune thatwas alleged to have been had with himshortly after the trial

Another was from J L Robinecnight watchman at the Brigham Cityprison substantiating the statementsmade by Vern Philips in regard toFoscren

Another was an additional affidavitfrom Vern Philios to the effect that heunderstood Fosgrens statements tomean that Majors must die

Another was from Reece Richardssetting forth the strong friendship thatexisted between Fosgren and William-A Brown the murdered man and alsoto hearing Fosgren say that Majorsought to be hanged

Another was from Clem Horselycounty treasurer of Box Elder countytestifying to the trustworthiness andhigh character of Vern Philips

In addition to the above affidavitsthere was a communication a strongappeal for mercy from Miss LuluJohnson the lifelong friend of themother of Majors came from DesMoines Ia to do all in her power tohelp her friend Though sadly affectedwith St Vitus dance she is a womaaof literary ability

Another communication to the boardwas a pathetic appeal from the mother-of the unfortunate young man Thisanneal was signed Mrs L G MajorsThe communication though thataroused the deepest interest was acommunication from Majors himselfThis Attorney Fitch stated Was writ-ten in his prison cell withoutany coaching or aid from attorney orothers It was as follows
