T. DW. SENTENCED TO DIF. On the lithef April the metion for a new trial was argued before Judge MacArtnur, and it was overruled. On the court asking if he had anything to say why the sentence ot the law should not be passed he made a long rambling aridress, asserting that Sam Bembry killed the peddler, and concluded by saying: “If you hang me you will hang the wrong man, jor I didn't kill the peddler. Sam said he knocked & man down and got $230 from him, and the detectives never got down to him, for he belonged to the Gallileans, and they didn’t suspect him, and if he got out ot that he could get outof this, if he was arrested.” Judge MacArthur in passing sentence said: “It is due to the community to say that the court is entirely satisfied with the verdict.” He then passed the sentence that Wright be taken to jailand be kept in close continement until Friday, the oth day of May, between the hours of 10 a. m. and 2 p. m., and be then taken to the place of execution and be hung by the reck untildead. At the conclusion of the sentence Wright remarked, “Gentlemen, it’s hard for a man to die for what he did not do.” HE WANTS TO SEE JUDGE MACARTHUR. After the sentence bad been passed he «desired to see Judge MacArthur, and wrote him the tollowing note: tould Wasiixoton, D. C., April 7. to Honerbal Judge Macarthur ‘if you please, Jest come over to jnil T want to see vonr Face agi Please come and oblige your Humble Prisone, I Jest want to sce your Face if not but take Pity on Poor me a Prisoner come and let me see yon ove time if you Please Come to morrow jest one minut Jam confined in jail but Lwant to see you.

The day after this motion for a new trial was overruled a party visiting the jail saw Wright ndew and at Dis wi remarked: «Well, Tom, all hope is gone; the court has ruled against you;” and he replied carelessly, “Well, 1 suppose { have got to be hung forit. If Ican see that judge Tl ask him to have me shot. I don't want any rope around my neck any way; but if I know that a certain man was standing beside me in tke same tix I could die happy.” The arty asked, “What man do you allude to, Tom; enibry?” Wright replied: “No, it wasn't him: you l! tind out some of these days; it was the s — of a b—— who went back on me, who got the swag and hasu’t been seen since. Ir they want to hang me let them do it; but they will hang the wrong one. It wasn’t no hatchet that was used. He wasn’t struck with a hatchet.” «What was it then,” was asked. Tom re; ‘An old spade. If the deteet- ives had looked about for it they would have found it setting in a barrel.” ‘The visitor asked why the trowel. could not have made some of the wounds. Wright replied: ~‘Yes, there wasa little old trowel about there aud he was cut with that (There was no such instrument as a trowel produced on the trial nor was it claimed that any other instrument than a hatchet was used. After this statement was made by the prisoaer @ trowel was found on the premises which, on being examined with a microscope showed ‘two smal! spots of what appeared tobe blood. A chemical analysis showed beyond doubt that it was blood. A single red hair was also foandon the edge of it__Rer.} HE THREATENS TO HAUNT HIS EX-MISTRESS. On the 30th of April he addressed the follow- ing note to Margaret : PRiL Stn 173 Margaret Wood I have got to be Hung fer what you said at the court house Mar- aret Wood I tonld you that I had better go back to Fe Melly Snels and stay but, you would not let _me oT tonld you that have me Hung and Jargaret you said you would mot go Back on in» for Nothing aud Margaret I have got $0 days to live then I have got to be hung Margaret it is off: be hung for you.
