Then there was a Chinaman he
killed In a gambling quarrel, and the
brother of a Mexican girl at Paso del

his first object in life was money, girls
second and travel third.

read: "I haye told the truth, so help
me God, if there is a God, and if there
is he certainly won't blame me, as I
have honestly followed the dictates of
my conscience. Don't say I am sorry,
for I am not, I have made my bed
and will lie In it without kicking. I
have had my fun and will pay for it."

MONTGOMERY INTERVIEWED,
We give below extract from the Sun
day Oregonlan's Interview with Linu
county's greatest criminal, in which
he now claims to have killed Mo
Kercher to revenge the murder of his
parents and to protect his own life. He
bids fair to die with a He on bis Hps.
Referring to his first interview the
reporter says:
Then his eyes were dull and bleary,
his features were swollen, and his
clothes were untidy and soiled. Now,
his eyes are as clear and bright as a
baby's; his features are clean-cut and
shapely, and his figure Is as straight
as an arrow. Although only 18 years
old, he is as large as a full-grown man,
and his magnificent physique might
well be the envy of a trained athlete.
He might easily be called a handsome
young man, with bis dark eyes and
hair and well-shaped head. He has
an expressive face, too, and seems to
be naturally quite intelligent.
He had been thinking that he was
to be hanged on Dec. 31, aud when in
formed that Tl was to be on Jan. 31 it
seemed to make Utile difference to
him. "Iam going to hang on January
31," he said, "and there is nothing I
can say to you that will make me any
frieui'a or set aside tbe death sentence.
But I would like very much to have
the people know that I am not such a
bad boy as I have been made out by
the lawyers and newspapers. I did
not kill my father or mother; but I did
kill McKercher, He shot my father
aud mother, and would have killed
me, had I not bad a fight with him
and shot him before he could do it.
No one believes my story now, for, I
am told, I admitted killing all of them,
when my bead was wrong. Now I
feel all right, and my head is clear,
and I can say honestly that I only
killed McKercher. But I am ready to
die and tbe sooner It is over the better.
I will have more peace in the next
world than this, the way I'm situated.
Everybody thinks I killed my parents,
aud, even if I were free, I won id suffer
more than death by knowing that
everybody thought I ought to hang.
I don't see any way to establish my
innocence, aud have given up think
ing about it. Everything is against
me, and I want to die. I don't want
to go to the penitentiary. What's the
use?"
"You thought you were to hang De
cember 31, didn't you?" asxed tbe re
porter. .,
"Yes," the prisoner replied, "I made
a mistake about the date. You see, I
took so little interest ln the execution
I only noticed the dale '31st.' I sup
posed, of course, they would hang me
this month. In fact, when I left the
court-room after the Judge sentenced
me, although be didn't set the date at
the time, I supposed I was- to be
hanged right away off the same day.
I was surprised when told that I had
some time to prepare for death , and,
when informed that I was to die on
the 81st of January, I thought they
meant December, aud was spending
my time as comfortably as possible un
til next Tuesday. But I am to see the
beginning of llie next year, anyway,
aud I guess it is just as well,"
"What do you think will become of
you when you die?" was asked,
"I don't really know what you
mean," replied the condemned youth,
with a puzzled expression ou his face.
"Do you believe lu future pun
ishment?" was a more terse ques
tion, which the prisoner readily
understood.
"Ob," ho replied, carefully choosing
bis words, "the Bible says that there is
punishment iu store in the next world
for those who commit crime iu this."
"Don't you haye some fear about
it?"
"No; why should I? I am innocent
of any serious crime, I never mur
dered anyone, and I killed McKercher
because he killed my parents. I won't
sutler for causing his death, I don't
know anything about the next world,
but I don't fear it in tbe least. If I
had killed my- parents though, I
should." v
"Will you go ou theBcatl'old without
fear?" was a pointed question asaea
the straugeyouug Utah.
"I don't see why there should be
anvthimr to be afraid of," he replied.
"I waa never scared la my life, and, If
ttddJihrfasMLlUt, I Wt t
Latest U. S. Gov't Report
siting
baby. I'm as anxious to havo the
thing over with as anyone else, and as
long as I'm of this opinion, why
should I fear the day of execution?"
Speaking about hisjlfe be said: "Al
bany is the largest town I've ever been
in, and I have seen very little of it. I
was never here before I was brought
to jail. I was born 18 years ago on a
farm near Biowusville, in the vicinity
of the farm where my parents were
killed. I had never been further away
from home than Belknap springs,
which is about 70 miles. I would like
to see a big city like Portland, before I
die; but of course it it is too late now."
Before the iuterview ended the
youug fellow was asked how he ex
pected to spend tbe time until he was
executed.
"Ob, I've got a fiddle here, and then
I read some. I'm not worrying."
Iu answer to tbe parting words of
one of the visitors, he said: "I'll get
along all right." "Good-bye," rang
out cheerily from tbe cell.
The reporter says: Deputy Sheriff
Propst is confident young Montgomery
will be game to the last. "Does a man's
mouth open when he is banged?" he
asked Mr. Propst the other day.
"I guess it does," Mr. Propst replied.
"Well, if mine does, I want you to
throw a biscuit in it," was Ihe startling
injunction.
