Tho day was divided between tho east

position of Methodism in religious lifo.
Each address bore witness to tho energy
and tho system with which tho two main
bodies of American Methodists wore
carrying out their work on the lines laid
down by John Wesley In tho City Koad
Chapel.
These addresses disclosed tho unity
of action among the various Methodist
bodies differing on minor parts of gov

tended to promote fellowship and sym

Dkkk Lmkik, Mon., Sept, 5. Tho
crime for which James Fh'tultij this
morning sufforod tho de.ttli penalty is
ono ol tho tacst remarkable in tho his
tory of urimlnoloiiy, involving most
rcvolti.ig and diabolical conspiracy.
On August 0, 1800, Eugene Culllnano,
an agtd resident of Washington Gulch,
a romotu settlement in the northern
part of what Is now Powell County, was
fiund murdered. Forthli crime Clin
ton Dotson, Charles Oliver ltcnson and
Ellis Perslugui woro tiled and convicted.
Dotson was Buntuncid to llfn Imprison
ment, Beueoit who iiiiido u partial con
fotcion was sunt up for 10 years and
foBslon as previously outlined was found
on a table as was also a will bequeathing
Captain Dotson'a entlru estato to his
son. Recalling Perslncr's warning the
oulcors tot out lnptrsultof Flomlng,
Ho was captured near Mtstouln. On
the tilal the clronmitnntlal ovldenco
showed that Flomlng had concealed
h msolf In auolhor room of tho Duiton
houso arid through a hole In tho parti
tion, had fired tho fatal shot. Tho
handwriting In the alleged confession
was identical with other speclmons
proved to be writton by Fleming.
The defenso's alibi theory was complete
ly demolished and tho, conviction was
secured within an hour, on July 13. He
was sontoncei to bo hanged September
0.
Fleming's attorneys decided that an
appeal to tho Supremo Court would be
of no avail and mado no effort to securo
a respite, Immediately after Fleming's
trial aud conviction, Clinton Dotson was
put on trial for his life. Ho too was
convicted aud sentenced to bo executed
September Oth.
The evldeuco in both cases was tho
same, oxcept that In tho Dotson case It
was supplemented with tho testimony of
