When Barrett was tl rough speaking the priest advised him to forgive all and receive the last absolution, but it seemed hard -for him to do so though with a tear glistening in his eye he said he would. Then the black cap was pulled over his face by Sheriff Kemp and the rope adjusted. After the cap was pulled over his face he said: "Let 'er go," which were, his last words.

He requested the sheriff to take off Ins boots sayinS: ''I have been told I would die with my boots an. I'll just fool you a trip, so here goes' my THE mukdkkkVs CltniK. On the evening of July 2't, "X), about sundown John Holohan, Dan Sullivan and James were returning to the Seven Rivers reservoir dam from Seven KiyerS when they met James Barrett, towhom Devcfenux. gave a drink Of whisky, Barrett asking for it, and all four men walked to the reservoir camp together where they were employed on. the worki.

Barrett wanted more whisky but Devereaux refus ed to give it to hinv. Barfoifr then went to his tent, which was also occupied by (i.llaworth und Chasi.Miu-er. Barrett had just recovered ff'om an attack of fever and had been drinking considerable during the and he was raving when he -reached the tent and talked continuously, keeping Hawm'th awake" until about two o'clock a. when liawortli succeeded in getting asleep. This was' his op." port unity and Barrett got up to do liis bloody work.

He first went to the tent in which Dan Sullivan and James Bur-lies were sleeping and awoke Dan asking him if he had.any whisky, to which Dan Barrett then wanted to know where Barnew was and Dan told him he did not know. Barrett then went away but returned in a tew minutes and ugain wanted, to know where Barnes yvas, when Sullivan said: There in Ills' 'bunk; he sleeps 'thereY', pointing to the bunk on. the -opposite side of the Is'iit. Barrett then went to Baines' bunk and awoke liin.i and asked, "Have yuu any whisky '(" to which Barnes. answered in the allinimtive.

"Will you. give nie some in this tin cup?" asked Barrett. "Certainly," replied Barnes. Barnes then gave Barrett a good drink from a bottle, pouring it into the tin cup Barrett carried. It seems Barrett went away and drank the whisky.

He then got a double barrel shot gun, one he had borrowed from Jones to shoot rab-bilswith, placed a. couple of loaded shells iii it and went to Barnes" tent. He stood by the door and called Barnes by name several' times before Barnes awoke. Then said: "Come here, 1 want to see you a JJames arose and walked to tlie door when Barrett, without a word of arning, raised llngun and Hied "the full charge of Xo. shot into Barnes-throat, cutting off a slight 'portion of the Ctilif, the shot lodging fir back of the' nffejv.

Barnes fell, expiring in a minute. Dan Sullivan, who awo'ce when Barnes walked'to'the door, witnessed and' as soon us Barrett turned to leave Sullivan got out of the'jteiit, fearing a similar fate, if he remained in the tent. Barrett then walked down the road and seeing the night watchman, Jake Schwabaul to him "You show we JinrHever- eaux's tent." The watchman tried to parley and argue the case with him but lie pulled his gun up and told Schwab he would "give it to him" if he delayed" Schwab then started for Dever-eaui'is tent, Barrett in the rear. When the tent was-reiched Barrett told the watchman to hold thejantern no he could see inside the tent, and he called for James Devereaux to get up. John Holohan was Bleeping ihi the mattress on the floor with Devereaux, but both were fast asleep and Barrett appearing to tire ortrying to awake them, leveled his gun on Holohan? lying 011 the outer edge of the bed, and tired, the charge striking on the right side of the breast below the collar bone and ranging up- The tnoniiiil' -jroivoi ding the inuyder a reporter of this paper called at iail Itnrivtt ready, and willing t.ijiaik'.
