THE RICiniOND PAUADIU3IAXD SUX-TELEGRAM, TUESDAY, JANUARY 18, 1910.

ASSIGNS REASON - WHY HE REFUSED GRA1IT REPRIEVE Governor Harmon in Public Statement Says Public Interest Demands Execution ' Of Eaton Murderer.

HIS CRIME CALLED DELIBERATE MURDER

Communications Received by Eaton Friends of Rife Show Ttiat He Still Bears Up Un- : der the Strain.

Columbus, Ohio, aJn. 18. Governor

Harmon has given out a signed statement for his reasons In refusing to interfere with the execution of Harry

Rife, the Eaton murderer, who Is scheduled to be electrocuted Wednes

day morning. The state board of pardons last Saturday evening reported to the governor that it had refused to grant Rlfe's application for a commutation of the death sentence to life imprisonment. The statement is as follows: Statement by Harmon. "If anything could Increase the care with which an application to commute a death sentence is considered it would be the many appeals which have been made In this case by citizens whose worth and standing make it always a pleasure to gratify their wishes. Among these are members of a large family of high character and repute to a branch of which the applicant belongs. . "'HIb crime was the deliberate murder, after repeated threats, of an estimable woman who refused to become his wife. There can be, and is, no question about the fact or the degree of guilt, the fairness of the trial or his sanity then and now. Nor do any special circustances appear to justify the granting of the application. The board of pardons, after its usual thorough investigation, has unanimously advised its rejection. . is Public Demand. "If I could bring myself to consider the matter as one of personal inclination, it would be easy to yield to the appeals which have been made to me, but I can not so consider It. The public interest overshadows all other considerations!. And this requires that there is no interference with the due course of justice without some strong, specific reason, bearing directly on the case, which will prevent interference from weakening respect for the law and faith in its enforcement. Otherwise the safeguards of society would soon be broken down. . VI must, therefore, accept the advice of the board of pardons and refuse the application."

ACTS LIKE A STOIC. (Palladium Special) , Eaton, O., Jan. 18. Communications received here Sunday by Sheriff William S. Boner and other of Harry Rlfe's most Intimate friends show not the least signs of the convicted man's final submission to the thought that for his heinous crime in the murder of Public Librarian Lida Gilmore-Gris-wold, he must ineitably pay the toll of justice by the sacrifice of hi3 own life In the electric chair at Columbus Tuesday night. In fact, the stoicism maintained by Rife during his conviction is, readily noted. Columbus dispatches say that the man is prepared for the awful performance to which he will be subjected, should not the law be staid by the interference of Governor Judson Harmon or the state board of pardons. His courage to meet the penalty meted out to him is yet apparently undaunted. Noteworthy Is his physical condition although there are shown some evidences of the almost unbearable ordeal through which he has passed.

Arrest, Walked Here From Columbus. 1

TOLD A HARD LUCK STORY

Bent by the burdens of 65 years and

suffering from the exposure of his long walk from Columbus, O., a white haired old man who gave his name as Richard Wilson was arrested last ev

ening by Patrolman Hebble for beg

ging on Main street. In the city court

this morning the aged pedestrian told

a hard luck story which excited the sympathy of all who heard it. He said that he was going to walk to Fort Wayne where he had a cousin, his only relative in the world whom he thought would take care of him in his old age. The man was given thirty minutes to leave the city and took advantage of the opportunity thus afforded him. "

By quickly hopping a passing

ing just as Marshal Jones was about to put the nippers onto him and put him in the town lockup, Frederick

Falls, the 10 year old youth who is wanted in Tippecanoe City, O., on a charge of robbery, evaded arrest and is still al large. The local police received word this

morning of the lad's near arrest and the fact that he is supposed to be in this city as the freigat train which he boarded was enroute to Richmond.

Tippecanoe City Saturday nishL

Arrangements for the Golden Jubilee of St. Joseph's Catholic societies, to be held in this city in May, will be in charge of an executive committee of the local society. This committee met last evening and selected Caspar Jelly as chairman and Henry Malle as secretary. There are to be twelve others on the committee.

There will be large delegations from societies in different parts of the state. It will probably be the largest of the several conventions to be held here this year. A German Invasion. Those in charge are anticipating the necessity of accommodating 50.000 persons on Sunday, May 15, which will probably be the big day of the celebration, although this has not been definitely determined as yet. The citizens generally will be asked to make preparations for the reception and entertainment of the visitors.

At the same time the jubilee is being

held, the delegates of the State Fed

eration of German societies will be in

session here. - The two Catholic churches and assembly halls will probably be used for the meetings and several of the larger meetings will be held in the coliseum.

It is said that the shortage in flour in Richmond at present is worse than it has been in years. Congested freight conditions on the northern railroads make it impossible for the

local bakeries to get flour which they

have had on the road for some time. Most of the flour used in this city

comes from Minnesota and the weather conditions In that state have so

blocked traffic that the local supply

is rapidly giving out. Notwithstand

ing this situation there will be no raise in the price of bread in Richmond, it is said, as it is expected the traffic will open up within a few days.
