THE GALVESTQN DAILY NEWS, SATURDAY, JULY 19. 1893. A STAY FOR WALTER SHAW THE EXEOTTTI05 DID HOT OOME Of AT HOUSTON. Will Look Into the Case. The Piisoner Bad NerTed Himself to Meet His late.

Correspondents' Headquarters Capitol 'Business and Circulator's Offlce-612 Main street under Capitol hotel. For the reception of advertlsementa and where nubscrlfc- ers failing to receive their papers will please report Houston, July banging of Walter E. Shaw in accordance with the verdict of the jury and sentence of the criminal court, set for to-day, did not take j)luce. It wua a disappointment to many and a surprise to everyone. All arrangements had been made by Sheriff Ellis and his deputies to execute the law In the most finished manner.

his cxc'ellency Governor HOKK willed It otharwlse and this morning a telegram was by Sheriff 15111s respiting the prisoner one week. It hud been announced In the dally papers nnfi otherwise circulated that the execution would take plaue in the forenoon perhaps between It and 12 o'clork, inr.ide the Jail, It known that not leas than 100 passes had been Issued to par-ties who were anxious to see the prisoner or witness the execution, or both, and as a result there was rush that began early In the morning to pet In early that positions advantageous for seeing might be secured. Sheriff Ellis and deputies stayed In jail last night and a double watch consisting of two men by day and two by night, was placed upon the prisoner. During the night many persons passed by or stopped and gazed up to the windows of the west corner of the second lioor. It was occupied by Shaw and the death watch and was brightly lighted.

The windows were raised and the south breeze floated In between the iron rods until the temperature was very enjoyable. The brlKht moonlight lidded to the pleasant surroundings. Shaw was attired lightly In his underclothes and a. pair of socks. It goes without saying that the ever-present clKaretto In hand.

He talked little to the uud ut thnus spuku to people were out in the street and iipon the sidewalk. During most of the night there someone in speaking distance. Shaw con Id be easily seen from the streets when )ie stood at the window. About 1 o'clock this morning or perhaps nearly 2, a couple of men wore sitting on tho aide walk across the street from the jail, and Shaw said: "Say, when do you fellows go off watch?" The men sat only uiiuugh that to prevent it being said that they beat a hasty retreat. It was 3.3D o'clock when Shaw lay down upon a cot and went to sleep.

He was a little restless in his sleep. Nevertheless, it was a sound sleep, unu when he awoke, about 6 o'clock tills morning, he was con- Kidurably refreshed. Soon after daylight the crowd In front of the Jail began to grovr und continued xmtll 10.30 o'clock. Many of the men had Cannes to enter the jail, but there were hundreds present, men, women and children, why hud tfatheriid theru In obedience to a morbid curiosity to hear or see something, tlu-y knew not what, but anything connected with Shaw or the Jail. The sidewalk was lllled und the magnitude of the crowd extended out beyond the middle of the streets; drayn, wagons, bug- Hies and horses took places lit the crowd their a frnlirht and all had the tmUsfaetlon of gazing into the window upon, the face of the murderer of his mother and aunt.

Before, o'clock 1 a few pernons were admitted to. the jail, among them a counlo vt iitiWbpupei 1 rcporici'd. I'lie uruvvii insiUe und out than grow steadily, but no one was allowed to enter the room which held Shaw, who seemed cooler this morn- Ing than hist night, but was not In a very good humor. Mr. Aves, rector of Christ church, arrived shori.ly before 10 o'clock.

Hherlrt lOlllH decided at that time not to let the newspaper men into Shaw's cell until Mr. Avos, and hence liia arrival was a signal for movement toward the top of tbo Btairs. The minister led the way. A reaching the top of the steps, Mr. Kills told the newspaper men thai Hhaw take a bath, ufter which they would be admitted to the cell.

This was something of a stunner, us these men felt that they obtained their pay from newspapers they In a manner represented tho people, who wanted to know all about Shaw and his doings under the very trying circumstances. They didn't exactly under- Htiind this, as they wanted to do no harm inside and certainly would have kept out of tne way. Mr. Aven however, was admitted, and while the Iron gate was ajar one or two reporters entered, and the sheriff then admitted them all. He had not announced it, but the sheriff hurt Just received ft telegram from Governor Hogg and had it in his hand.

As; MOOII its these were Inside the door was closed. Hhaw was in the lavatory washing his face. The sheriff called him out. He was wiping hifl face as he emerged from the door. The olllcer stopped him and In presence of the ministfr, the TMs.tch ssd the reporters rend the following: Austin, 28, 9.30 a.

K. Ellis. Sheriff Harris County, Houston, Upon application to commute the death sentence against Walter Shaw for time to thoroughly Investigate the case, the Bnid Walter Hhaw Is hereby granted a re- Bplte for one week. Acknowledge receipt by wire Immediately. J.

s. HOGG, Governor of Texas. As soon as he had done reading Shaw said; "I nm sorry. I had nerveti myself up to the sticking point and wanted to go. His face did not betray much feeling either way, but had a sort of puzzled, non- lussed look.

As he finished wiping his amis and face, he said to the sheriff that hoped he would allow him to have a pencil and paper, as he wanted to do some writing before next Friday. He continued, addressing the sheriff: "You ought to know now that I don't want to commit Bul ld You hno I hnd an opportunity and did not avail myself of It. There Ls no necessity of your depriving me of these things, and keeping such a close wntoh on TM rh 1 "JJ uW ue oof enough." The sheriff replied that he felt he was doing his duty, and didn't do it to bo severe on him. then asked him for some privnte letters that he wanted and that were In hin possession. The sheriff told him that he would give them to Rev.

Mr. Aves as custodian Shaw said Mr. Aves was his spiritual ml- viser and he did not want to bring him I the affair in that way. The sheriff thought that was a fair proposition and Shaw finally ligroed to It mid made an appointment for Mr. AVON to come ono day to the jail and they arrange the matter.

After this was ilnne Sheriff Kills instructed Deputy Anderson to get all out of the ruom except the watch, tho prisoner and Mr. Aves. In the meantime he hurried down stairs to read the telegram of the governor to tho gaping, surging crowd outside of the in the street. He took a position In the front door and read i Tlu- crowd reluctantly and slowly dispersed. As the reporters left the Rev.

Mr. Avon and Shaw took seats in one corner of the room and conversed in a low tone for time, presumably about his spiritual condition. Tho watch stood by the window on the opposite sidn of the room. Many of the members of the crowd below Continued to hnnpf around the Jail yard gate for half an hour after the respite was announced to them.

There Is much Indignation ever ac- lon of tho Kovtrnor. The wntence up- mid, by many of the beat clilxeus of Hous- 1W. Lunkfow! Ralford, who hud even sharpened their scalpels, filed their eaw0, put their microscopes In trim ana engaged room at Wull Stabe's uii- dortaklng establishment, near the Jail- preparatory to making their post mortem of Shawls brain and viscera --are not at the governor's respite, Uut, on the contrary, manifest a deeper interest in the case. While Dr. Raiforrt was In the jail he had a short with the prisoner.

It was before the telegraphic respite had arrived. Shaw said to the doctor he hoped that they (Lunkford and Kulfurd) would give him or his body a fair and impartial Investigation and the facts to the world Just as they were found, In the interest of science. He made the doctor promise upon his lonor that the body would be treated In that way. It will be remembered by the readers of The News that Dr. George Lankford purchased the body of Shaw from him for examination of those parts bearing upon his sanity, As the reporters wei-e leaving the room in which Shaw and the minister wore together Shaw eeemed suddenly to Uecome very angry over something, and with his fist struck the wooden table a blow that sounded like the report of small pistol.

This afternoon Shaw seemed ait oroke up over the action of the governor. He had a terrible headache all the afternoon and repeatedly expressed his antagonism to the respiting action. A News man saw Judge E. P. Hill this evening and he stated that he was doing nothing In the Shaw case looking to commutation or respite, and that he had stated that he authorized F.

N. Gray to refer tr- hlm merely because Gray said he WHS not known to the governor. The judge said he would have nothing to do with the affair MR. GRAY KXPLATNS. The following notice was handed The News by F.

N. Gray, who sent the telegram yesterday to Governor Hogg In Shaw's behalf: 'I inadvertently permitted the publication of a telegram In The Galveston News of the 27th instant, which I sent to Governor Hogg In the liUsrest of securing a respite for waiter E. Shaw, who to have been executed in Houston to-day, and seemingly did Judge J5. P. Hill an injustice by requesting: that my signature be withheld, while I name him in reference, thus causing that gentleman to bear the responsibility in the mind of the reador.

"I t't-g to say that I did not request of Judge Hill his indorsement of the application for respite nor. was It proffered. I merely asked to be allowed to refer to him in Identification of me, which was granted, and In tho haste of the evening I handed the correspondent of The News a copy of the- Inptrumont without erasing Judge Hill's name us well as my own. "Regretting the occurrence, I am respectfully, P. N.

GRAY." YOUNG CONVERSE SHOT.

--There was another good attendance at Camp Mubry to-day, the adiea largely predominating. It Is cooler out ut the camp than ulsvwhere in Austin. The fair sex Hocks there In the afternoon, all of which pleases the soldier boys. Governor Hogg and General Wheaton returned to the camp grounds this morning, nd accompanied by General Mabry, Colonel of Houston, Colonel Bruce and others, paid an unofficial visit to different headquarters, where everything was found 'to be Up top shape. General Mabry, whose hair ise the color of maple syrup, rode his Ice cream horse and as hia fiery haired dog was not far away, things looked "red" If not lurid.

Colonel Peclt, who presides over the Texas car service association, nnd who was on the governor's staff In Michigan at one time, was delighted with the camp, pronouncing it a beauty. Governor Hogg was pleased, tco, spying The News man, on his return to headquarters blandly and sold:" 'Everything Is lovely. Whistle. The camp a daisy. You know, It tickles me to see 10 many ladles out here.

They have a wonderfully good effect on the troops. When they are around the soldiers are on good behavior and keep everything in order. They wear their uniforms buttoned up to the neck, and their clothes don't tfl them like dad blamed horse clolar on a knitting: needlu. You show uie a yoe-necked dude or Rnylwdy else that don't love the adies, and I'll show you a cfclmiiil-j clacker who hasn't sense enough to pour water out of a boat." At this Juncture a friend of the governor's walked up and remarked that the weather was cool and comfortable. "Just listen at that," said the governor.

'You are worse than the soldiers. You stand around and sweat like a nigger at cornshucking and tell me it's cool. No, sir. The weather is hot enough, by granny, to scorch the hair on a wildcat's back." The governor then turned to The News man ana saia: the way, whistle, I've got. a white squirrel and it's prettier than red alioea.

I paid 46 fur und I'll lull you why I did It. When I was a boy I saw white squirrel run up a tree and I told my friends about It. They giggled at me and made me out a dad blamed iiar, saying there was no such thing as a white squirrel. For thirty years I have rested under that stigma, and when I found this uquirrul I nailed him, notified them that I had him, and now, by ratlins. I'm vindicated.

I may be a little slow, but I'm suro as a lead mule." The governor and General Wheaton went up the river on the I3en Hur night and had a groat time. They ate peachen and drank Apolllnaris water to their hearts' content. The governor suggested that it be a good Idea- to plunge into the river and drown the redbugs und secd- ticka, but General Wheaton declined to enter Into the scheme. Late thiH afternoon Mrs. Hogg and Mrs.

Whoaton visited the camp and remained there until after tea. Many of the soldiers are asking to be excused so they can go home, but unless thay have excellent reasons for going General Mabry does not excuse them. He is Old Business till the time. T. V.

Gibbs of the Eagle Pass rifles was the Inst man to go down before the victor. Private Hudson was grabbed by the members of the company and carried around on their shoulders amid howls of applause. Privates wrlght, GanJu and Hau- slnger of thu Stalya competed, so did Private Timmlns and Private Rush of the Houston Hiihl guard, the i'orinor staying lu very near to the finish and excellent work.

The Belknaps and the Fort Worth fenci- bles went to pieces early, notwithstanding one of the fenclbles was the winner last year.

Lieutenant Mulchings Is so proud of the light victory that he iniendu to bathe the boys In champagne to-morrow. NEXT YEAR.

A News man to-day askc-d General Mabry If ho expected to hold an encampment next year. Ha said he certainly did. "Of course we will once moro have to rely on the generosity of the railroads," 1m continued, "na the legislature does not meet next year and we will only have unmo mount or money that we had this time. We will prorate the between the roads a as we are doing thin time." Th" general thnn remarked that the roads had been exceedingly kind and de.sorvod groat praise. "The encampment is a groat success nnd the roadn have boon a big factor In i It flo.

I have hut i doubt thai they wiii help us out one more tlmo i thp umlnrstnmllnp a next year a proper appropriation will have to be made by tho legislature or let the milltU go to A WHIRLWIND. 2 o'clock yytU'-'rduy a small whtrl- formort nt the wouthorn part of parade ground near the First rcRiment, traveling toward UCIUT.I] Roberts' It is throiiRli the center nnd hml a tcrrlhli; force midway uf tho par.ado ground.

Tho i The bait given In honor of the stfcte mll- Uln to-night was a Krnnd affair. Representative hall was thnmged with Texas buauty and chivalry, and all wvnt well until about 12 o'clock, when tho state electric light machinery slipped an eccentric, so to speak, and the gay revelers were plunged into darkness, a state of affairs which lasted for fifteen minutes. A soldier who evidently hulls from Sundown, remarked that the lights hud been turned oft to "oil the machinery." He es- cuped with hie life. The fact is some of the electric light wires had broken. Thu lluor was In Kood condition, the music was excellent and there were no other hitches In the festivities.

General Mabry was present, but Governor Hogs remained at the mansion and rested himself. The entertainment was hugely enjoyed. GENERAL COUUT MARTIAL.
