Vol. VII, No. 95 The County Seat Paper NEVADA CITY, CALIFORNIA The GOLD Center FRIDAY, SEPT. 29, 1933 ROLPH ALWAYS REPRIEVES MEN DOOMED TO HANG Governor Grants as Many as Eight Delays to Murderers Condemned to Noose SACRAMENTO, Sept. 28—(UP)— No other governor in California’s history has had such a tendency to eects until the last possible moment ‘he execution of a doomed murderer i8 Governor Rolph. Since his inauguration, the governor has granted no less than 85 reyrieves to killers who were awaiting the noose at San Quentin or Folsom prison, Moreover, it is the governor’s proud boast he has never permitted the execution of -any slayer without sranting at least one reprieve. The charge is freely made by some Yesponsible sources that the gover-} nor’s penchant ‘for granting extensions is mental torture to slayers— particularly when the condemned man has no chance of commutation. There have been reports of how a doomed man would build himself up mentally for the execution. He would Have steeled .-his courage for the ordeal. .Then along comes a reprieve and he collapses. Successive reprieves, some claim, leave the prisoner a nervous wreck. Such contentions exasperate the sovernor. He contends a reprieve is a humane act and is so regarded by prisoners. Two killers received eight’ reprieves. They were Peter Farrington, hanged and Harry Fuilled Goold, finally committed to an insane asylum. W. H. Burkhart received seven extensions before he was executed; so did Frank Paciga and Pedro Magsaysay: ernest Dias and Tresco Lecanz were exceptions. : The former paid fer his crime with his life after two reprieves while Lecanz was executed z2tter only one extension. The most celebrated case in the Rolph administration is that of J. D. Green. He has received five extensions so far and perhaps will get more before the governor finally decides for good and all whether the: young theatre robber shall hang for the murder of a Los Angeles policeman. Nine men have been hanged, so far, during the Rolph aeministration; . sentence of four condemned prisoners has been commuted to life imbrisonment; one was sent to the insane asylum and there are still pending many others who seek commuta-! .tion or whose cases are on appeal, EVIDENCE.

Mr. McKee there spends all the time he can spare from his office in this city. As there is a wide view both to the north over the vast mountain ranges and to the south over Nevada City and ranges to the south, Mr. McKee decided to call this beautiful spot “Camp Tranquility.’"’ He has placed a neat sign on the road entrance to his property. A few days after the sign was up a motorist drove into the “camp”? and inquired of Mr. McKee if he had any ‘thot dogs for sale.”” The attorney’s astonishment was reflected in his answer: “Hot dogs? Why no,” he replied. Later others inquired for houses to rent, camp privileges, etc, until Mr. McKee has decided to call his place “€asa Tranquility’ or some other name of less misleading character.

SCOUT COUNCIL — DISCUSSES PLAN FOR SCOUT HOME The Nevada City Boy Scout committee, meeting atthe Chamber of Commerce Monday evening, with the chairman, Horace Curnow, presiding, heard the report of Harris Ricksecker, scout executive for the Tahoe regional scout district, and learned that Nevada City’s quota this year will be $260 plus 10 per cent of its deficit. This ten per cent has been assessed to all qommunities. that are in arrears. Good news contained in the report was that the area council owns outright Pahatsi Seout Camp, that there is no indebtedness against the property and only a small lumber -bill to be paid there. The Regional ‘Council thus far has contributed . little or nothing toward the construction or maintainance of the camp, i Practically everything there having been donated by Bupne spirited citi.zens. The question of housing for the local troop was discussed. Many suggestions were offered regarding the problem, which many feel, must be solved before scouting in this city can be placed on a firm basis. Ls a suitable site can be obtained, it was believed that a large log cabin, might not only fill the need for economical construction, but meet with the enthusiastic support of the boys as being a structure most. suitable to their needs. Several suggestions were made by Otto Schiffner regarding log construction, and President Curnow Placed him on the housing committee of which Judge Tuttle is chairman. Regarding raising Nevada City’s quota for the scouts, since the executive intimated that matters should be pressed to an early conclusion, it was suggested that those who did not contribute to the fund raised a few monhs ago, be asked to subscribe in the immediate future. Dr. C. W. Chapman urged all committees to take an active interest in their particular functions, so that thé president would not’ be left to function for them all. Scoutmaster Parsons reported that meetings had begun this month, but that attendance was far_below that tof last year. He stated that there were a number of boys who had not been able to join because they had not the small initiation fee. Judge Tuttle suggested that a list of these boys be made and that the members of the committee make an effort to provide them with—odd jobs to’ earn the necessary money. —9—__ —___ MR. AND MRS.

Young Shaw sold about lick, the result of several days hard . work. He stated he thought many of those large boulders had been turned over four or five times in the river around Jones Bar. Mrs. J. G.

Downey of Nevada City for the use of a comfortable cabin and good stove. CHAMPION MINE TAILINGS LEASED R. E. Anderson, brother-in-law of Arthur B. Foote of Grass Valley, and partner, Mr. Shaw, have come up from Marysville and taken a lease on the old Champion mine tailings. A keystone drill was used in. testing out the large deposits of tailings ' from the old mine in order to get-an . estimate of values.

ESTIMATES Thousands of Me: Mexicans Leave But Thousands of Easterners Arrive SACRAMENTO, Sept. 28—(UPY) —California now has a population of 6,390,788 persons, according to an estimate made by the state department of public health. This total represents an increase of 658,650 over the official population of 5,732,138 credited to California in 1930 by the United States bs sus. o “Conditions pertaining to migra$20 of gold dust to Don Carlos Bil, tion to California have not been disturbed greatly during the past. few years,’ the department report stated. ‘The economic status of individuals traveling to California may have changed, but it is doubtful that the numbers of . individuals who have journeyed to this state from other states have changed materially. “To be sure many thousands of . Mexicans have left California for their native land during the past few years, but this exodus has been more than offset by arrivals from other ~~ states and other countries. The Civilian Conservation Corps camps alone have brought 80,00 men to California during the past few months. “The birth rate is slightly lower. . Last year there were but 109 more deaths in the state than oceurred in the preceding year, and births -in 1982 were 3,445 fewer than. in The report pointed out that whilé it is recognized that accurate population estintates are difficult to make under present conditions, a conside‘ration of all factors involved proves the estimate to be ‘fairly reliable as. an indication of the number of persons who are living at the present time in California.

This total represents an increase of 658,650 over the official population of 5,732,138 credited to California in 1930 by the United States bs sus. o “Conditions pertaining to migra$20 of gold dust to Don Carlos Bil, tion to California have not been disturbed greatly during the past. few years,’ the department report stated. ‘The economic status of individuals traveling to California may have changed, but it is doubtful that the numbers of . individuals who have journeyed to this state from other states have changed materially. “To be sure many thousands of . Mexicans have left California for their native land during the past few years, but this exodus has been more than offset by arrivals from other ~~ states and other countries. The Civilian Conservation Corps camps alone have brought 80,00 men to California during the past few months. “The birth rate is slightly lower. . Last year there were but 109 more deaths in the state than oceurred in the preceding year, and births -in 1982 were 3,445 fewer than. in The report pointed out that whilé it is recognized that accurate population estintates are difficult to make under present conditions, a conside‘ration of all factors involved proves the estimate to be ‘fairly reliable as. an indication of the number of persons who are living at the present time in California.
