May Naudain, who subsequently mar- ried C. H. George, Is well known in Omaha by many of the soclety set of fifteen to eighteen years ago. Her par- ents were Mr. and Mrs. Thomas N. Nau- dain and for many years they lived In cording to this bok's story, which was corroborateq on many points by other evidence, two masked men entered the store with drawn pistols and saying, “We've got you now,” opened fire on Morrison, who fell mortally wounded with o bullet through his chest. Arling Morri- son ran to an icebox In the store, selsed a S8-caliber revolver and fired. Bofore the boy could shoot again he fell plerced by three bullets, and died almost In- stantly, The men then ran from the store, one of them exclaiming that he was shot, and were observed to run south- ward from the store. The surviving son bent over his father, who became uncon- sclous after having inquired where his asrallants were, and died soon afterward Arrest of Hillstrom. Hillstrom, also known as Joe Hill, was arrested three days after the shooting on information given by a doctor near Mur- ray, Utah, two and a halt miles south of the scene of the crime, Hillstrom stag gered Into the doctor's home two hours after the shooting, wtlh a large bullet wound through his left lung. He told the dootor he hadq been shot in a quarrel over & woman and requested that nithing be aald regarding his visit or wound. The doctor, not having heard of the murders, ted the wound and took Hillstrom to a house, where he had been staying for soveral days News of the murder re- called the case to the doctor and he in- formed the officers. The doctor found an automatic pistol of the same caliber as shells found in grocery after the shooting, In Hillstrom's pocket. Hillstrom threw the weapon away after leaving the doctor's home. Blood found at several places betw: the store and the home of the dootor and members of the family where Hillstrom lived sald a companion had visiteq him late the night of the murders, talked privately with him and left. This man was not apprehended and has not been heard of since. The Morrison boy, because of the masks and confusion of the shooting, was not able to identify Hillstrom, except in gen- eral description of his size and clothing, but another witness gave a minute and particular description of Hilistrom as one of the assailants seen in bright moon- light near an electric arc lamp with snow on the ground. Hillstrom also was identi- fied as & man who visited the store the afternoon of the murders and talked with Morrison. \ Prisoner Recovers Rapldly. Hillstrom's recovery from his wound was rapid and complete. He has always maintained his innocencd, but has never told where he was the night of the mur- ders or who shot him. He created a scone at his trial by dramatically discharging his attorneys in open court, later giving @s his reason their fallure to ‘‘tear young Morrison to pleces on cross-exami- nation,” referring to the boy who wit nessed the shooting. He refused to on the witness stand himself or to offer any evidence as to where he was or what he did the night of the murders. Heo was found gullty by the trial jury, the judg- ment was affirmed by the supreme court and the Board of Pardons, after an ex- haustive review of the case, declined to commute his sentence of death, He was sentenced to be shot October 1 and was reprieved by Governor Spry Sep- tember %0 at the request of President Wil- son, who acted on & request of the Swed- ish minister. The case had previously been investigated for the Swedish min- ister by the Swedish vice comsul for Utah, a well known attorney, who ad- vised that his investigation developed Bothing that would justify the Board of Pardons in comunuting the sentemce.

Hillstrom, who says he has been & machinist and laborer, claims to be & Bwedish subject, and on that ground the interest of the Swedish minister was ob- tained. Hillstrom was a member of the Industrial Workers of the World, the members of which have been active in demanding his pardon or retrial. Several local sympathizers, including & woman instructor at the state univer- sity, have been active in their eiforth to obtain a new trial, a pardon or com- mutation for Hillstrom. One of these, ‘who sent a cablegram to Sweden in Hill- strom's interest, said he desired him set at liberty, gulity or innocent. The more prominent local advocates of Hillstrom's cause were oited before the Board of Pardons in September and requested fo present any facts they had in additfon to those offered at the trial.
