M'CALLA TVILI ERECT A
HOUSE Ar VALLEJO.
CLUB-
AT 72 YEARS OF AGE
Another Had a Gun, and Ued It,
aad tbe Foarth Sparred Up Hi
Horse aad Got Array.
VANCOUVER, Wash-, Jan. 3. Four
hold-ups took place In Vancouver last
night. Two of them occurred In the busi
ness district of town, one east of the bar
racks, and one two or three miles east of
town. A Mr. "Woods says, as he was go
ing home late last evening, a man stepped
In front of him and commanded him to
throw up his hands. As he drew his right
hand from his pocket he brought his re
volver with It, and opened fire on the
footpad, who lost no time In getting out
of range. Mr. TVooster, a farmer living
near Fourth Plain, was commanded to
fitop and put up his hands by some one,
about two miles, from town, ze he was on
his way home, instead of obeying, "Woos
ter put spurs to his horse and rode away.
J. Slanfield was relieved of some small
change near his home east of the bar
racks shortly after darlc The third vic
tim was B. L. Griffith, a Lewis River
farmer, who gave up his watch and about
?C0. He says he was accosted by a man
wearing a soldier's uniform, who ordered
him to throw up his hands, which he did.
The man then went through his pockets.
"William Smith, who lives near where the
hold-up took place, was attracted by th
voices of the men. and arrived on the
scene Just as the highwayman disap
peared. Smith confirms Griffith's state
ment that the robber wore a soldier's uni
form. The police have been working on the
cases today, but so far no clueto any of
the guilty parties has been found. One
soldier was arrested this morning, but
was later released for lack of evidence.
WILLIAM SEATOX HANGED.
A Mont Atrocious Wnaliiiifrtou Crime
Than Aicnpeil.
SEATTLE. Jan. 3. William F. Scaton
wus banned at S o'clock this morning for
the murder of his uncle. Daniel Richards,
December 6, 1900. Scaton died game. The
trap was sprung at 8 o'clock. Seaton to
the last said he was not responsible for
the killing of his uncle.
The execution was devoid of sensational
features. The condemned man walked up
the three flights of sttps from his cell
with his keeper James Mullen, on one
side, and a minister of the gospel on the
other. His face was unmoved, his step
firm and clastic
. Crime for Which Seaton Wan Hanged
The crime for which "William F. Seaton
was hanged was one t the most atro
cious, unprovoked and cold-blooded ever
committed in King County, or possibly in
the entire state. About 4 o'clock of the
afternoon of December C, 19D9, he made
a murderous assault on almost an entire
family with an ax. The assault resulted
in the Instant killing of Dan Richards,
Seaton's uncle. And the almost fatal
wounding of little Myrtle and Hazel Sea
ton, his nieces. After crushing In the left
side of the head of each and throwing
their bodies in a manger, he next attacked
his sister, and mother of the two little
girls, who had run to the assistance of
her xwn in response to their screams for
help. With one murderous swing of the
big ax he felled her to the ground, and,
believing her dead, rushed Into the hou3e
where his uncle, Dan Richards, was sleep
ing, and with one blow split his head
wide open. He then walked leisurely to
the station at the end of the street-car
line at South Park, with the Intention, as
he afterward stated, of going to Seattle
to give himself up to tbe police. In the
meantime, however, the screams of the
X children and motfier had attracted the at-
tention of people in the neighborhood,
and Deputy Sheriff Mike Kelley was no
lifled. He at once went In search of Sea
ton, and overtook him near the car line,
but when Kelley called to him to halt he
suddenly wheeled In his tracks and opened
lire on the Deputy Sheriff. Fortunately
his aim was wild and the shots missed.
Mr. Kelley then pulled his gun, and the
first shot struck Seaton in the neck, pass
ing almost through and lodging just back
of the left ear. The bullet is there today,
as it was never removed. Mr. Kelley car
ried Scaton to the car and brought him to
Seattle. Before the city was reached
Seaton recovered sufficiently to talk, and
frankly told the Sheriff that he meant to
murder the whole family, and at the time
thought he had. The only reason he gave
was that his bister was not doing richt,
and he Intended to put her out of the
way.
Defense Wan Insanity.
Seaton was charged with murder in the
first degree, and when arraigned, January
25, entered a plea of not guilty. The trial
began March 4, and lasted three days,
the Jury bringing in a verdict of guilty
as charged, after being out only half an
hour. The defense was insanity, and sev
eral eminent physicians who had exam
ined Seaton gave testimony on this point
at the trial. AH but one of the many
testified that the murderer was sane at
the time of tho tragedy, also at the time
of the trial. April 13 a motion for a new
trial was argued and overruled, and on
April 15 Seaton ' was sentenced to be
hanged by Judge Griffin. An appeal was
taken to the Supreme Court, but was
never completed. On motion of Prosecut-
ing Attorney Fulton this appeal was dis
missed by the Supreme Court last Octo
ber, and November 22 Judge Griffin set
today for the execution.
Prosecuting Attorney Walter S. Fulton
had personal charge of the case after
taking office on January 14, 1901, and it Is
due to his vigorous methods in pushing
tbe case along that swift and Just pun
ishment has been meted out to King
County murderers for the first time. The
only other legal execution which has tak
en place in King County for more than a
quarter of a century was that of Charles
Nordstrom, who was hanged last August,
nearly nine years after the murder was
committed for which he was executed.
It was Mr. Fulton who brought about
this execution in breaking the endless
chain "which Nordstrom's lawyers kept in
motion for so many years.
MAYHEM CHARGE DISMISSED.
Defendant Made Cnh Settlement
With Party Injured.
SPOKANE, Wash., Jan. 3. Manlcy Cox.
who was arrested In Garfield six weeks
ago for biting a piece out of George Giles'
ear. was arraigned in the Superior Court,
at Colfax, today, and the charge dis
missed, on motion of Giles, who said he
had received satisfaction for the damage.
This action was taken -under the state
law which permits the compromising of a
misdemeanor by cish settlement with the
party injured. In this case, Cox paid the
prosecuting witness $230. to cover -"doctor
bills and court costs. Giles, whose car
was badly bitten, will have, a piece of
flesh taken from his arm and grafted
Into the ear. He says physicians have
agreed to do this for ?150.
The mayhem at Garfield was the result
of a drunken row. Cox and two compan
ions came to Garfield and announced that
though it was a prohibition town they
woul- run it. They issued ant. edict tabbo
lng white shirts. Giles came down the
street wearing the offending garment, and
a free fight resulted when Cox and his
companions,, attempted to enforce their
edict. In the fight Cox bit Giles' car.
AN EMBARRASSING SITUATION.
Governor Likely to Be Aulced to
Favor a Mardcrer He Prosecuted.
OLYMPIA, Jan. 3. Governor McBride
may soon be confronted "xith an embar
rassing situation. Some time ago, whilf
Lieutenant-Governor, he assisted In the
prosecution of a murderer named Hamil
ton, in Skagit County. The counsel for the
defense tried hard to have the Lieutenant
Governor barred from appearing in the

COUNTY COURT CALLS A HALT.
No More "Work aa Delinquent Tax
List at Salem for the Present.
SALEM, Or Jan.. 3. The work of com
piling the list of land upon which taxes
have remained delinquent during the last
10 years has been abandoned for the pres
ent, and the County Court is now discuss
ing the matter of Its resumption. .The
clerks and" experts worked on the list two
days. The experts have returned to the.
work of examining the Sheriff's books.
For years it has been notorious that many
of the descriptions of property on the as
sessment roll are so defective that no
valid sale could be made. For such prop
erty there have been no bidders, and the
taxes remained unpaid. The clerks were
set at work making lists composed chief
ly of such tracts of land, but as It seemed
probable that the county could not thereby
make a valid sale, the work was stopped
when the County Court met yesterday.
"While the matter has not come up for
final action, it Is understood tha't Com
missioners Miley and Needham are op
posed to resuming the work. The com
mencement of the work aroused strong op
position, on the ground that it would en
tall considerable expense without accom
plishing anything.

was set up by the defense that Lieutenant-Governor
McBride might possibly be
come Governor at any time, and that an
appeal for clemency might be presented to
him and that, naturally, hai-ing prosecuted
Hamilton, the Governor would be preju
diced against the appllcant'for clemency.
Now that the probability has become a

from friends of Hamilton and lawyers gen
erally. Death by Electrocution.
Robert Hastle, who it was thought died
of a broken blood vessel while at work at
a lathe In the Olympla Pipe Works on
New Year's day, met bis death by elec
trocution. This fact was developed at the
Coroner's inquest last night Hastle care
lessly allowed the insulation on his elec
tric light wire to become worn off. In
reaching up to turn off his lathe he
touched the live wire while his other hand '
was resting on the Iron lathe. As he was
standing on the ground, he naturally made
a good groifnd connection, which killed
him instantly.
