"Before you vacated the premiseF
many of the members complained of

"Oh, yes; very often we were com?

the Mormon Church.
The entire city i? terror stricken. I
W. W. members have made threat*
against the city and itate and Secret
Service men said to-night that they ex?
pected an attempt to dynamite the
Governor'! home or some other demon?
stration.
I. W. W. ?peaker? said to-n.ght that
Hillstrom would not le "xecuted and
intimated th?' some movement was on
foot to prevent the execution to-mor?
row.
"I am thoroughly convinced of Hill
strom's guilt," *aid iloveernor ?Spry to?
day, "and I am ?at'sfied that justice
has been done. I am determined to ?ce
. that the sentence is carried out. I
think that Pr?sident Wilion'i inter?
ference was untimely and I do not hesi?
tate to criticise him for it. I think it
, was out of place for him to interfere
I the second time, in view of the fact
that although fifty days' reprieve
had been grant#d no new evidence had
! been introduced."
Hillstrom remains defiant and, pos?

will willingly face the firing uijuad to?
