daring that the executive could not
find any new evidence winch would
warrant commutation of Alex A. Kels
death sentence, sealed the fate of the
I..odi "haystack murderer.' A vigor
ous campaign had been waged by
3fr. Kels wffe. Mrs. Annie Kels, and
other relatives in an effort to have
Kels sentence commuted to imprison
incut for life. Mrs. Kels steadfastly
contended that her husband was in
sane. T he ca ni pa Ik ft to have K el

involved the governor nnd the state
board of prison directors in a contro
versy in which- the governor accused
C. K. McLaughlin of Sacramento,
president of the state board of prison
directors, of beinj; a "stockholder in n
life insurance company. The gover
nor also alleged that a resolution
adopted by the prison hoard in De
cember which Instructed Warden J. J.
Smith of Folsum penitentiary to per

in an effort to show that Keia was
afflicted with a blood disease which

by politics.
Judge Mclaughlin admitted He was
n stockholder in the life insurance
company which had issued a fiofiey
on the life of Keht, but he titled
that polities had entered into the-case.

TWO MISS PAY FOR CKIJIE
(Continued From Page One)
Edwards, prison physician, and Dr. E.
II. Hobson ot Salem pronounced him
dead.
Among witnesses worn Kenneth
Illoom, J. R Llllard and R. U Cliand
ter, all officers from Albany.
A niece of Parker, whoso name is
withheld by the officers, but who came
fiom Tacoms, was with him all day
yesterday.
Statement Is Given Out.
SALEM, Ore., Jan 4. That the
only person who saw any' part of the
fatal pistol duel between himself and
the Linn county sheriff whom he
was hanged for killing wns prevented
from testifying at his trial, is the as
sertion made in a statement written
and signed by George Parker prior
to his execution hero this morning.
The statement' was given by Parker
to Rev. Thomas V. Keennn, who
turned It over to the Capital Journal
this morning.
Declaring that "tho world seems
out of joint; everywhere there are
misunderstandings, rivalries, selfish
ness, jealousies and quarrels," Par
ker questioned the 'Christianity of
most professed Christians and wrote; I
"I wonder if certain Individuate
who helped nllott mo this throne by
raising their right hands and taking
tho oath to speak tho truth, nothing
but the truth, so help mo Cod, are
true Christians? '
"'The' state had ho eyewitness, yet
tho stato of Oregon could probably
turn to 100 citizens who have lived
In the vicinity I speak of for thirty
years, who seen part of tho late
'World War' between tho "sheriff nnd
myself, but was kept from testifying
by the prosecution In order for them
to be instrumental in socuring a con
viction." I
Parker also charged that the sign
ed statement ol Sheriff Duntnp, the
principal evidenco of tho prosecu
tion, wns "manufactured by a "lit
tle family clique" and that the sher
iff's signature was secured when he
was "out of his head," and when it
was necessary for attendants at his
bedside to help hfm sign his name.

Ileforc takinpr his plnce on tho gal
