!Story of Execution
of Jos. Hillstrom
(United Press Correspondence)
SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, Nov. 19.
—(Special to Gateway)—Five rifle
men hired by the county at $40 were
I scheduled to shoot Joseph Hillstrom
through the heart in the prison yard
here shortly after sunrise today, that
being the penalty the 33 year old I
I VV. W. poet has been sentenced to pay
! for the murders of J. G. Morrison and
his son Arling, here about two years
ago.
Hillstrom selected this method of
execution instead of hanging, as is
permitted by the Utah law. His
friends all over the country put up
such a light to save him that the
President of the United Suites, at the
Swedish Minister’s request, granted
him a vain reprieve ifi September.
While circumstantial evidence con
victed Hillstrom of the murders, his
own attempt to defend himself in
court and his refusal to tell where he
was on the night of the crime, help
ed to send him to his doom. Hill
strom ’s plea was that he was in a
married woman’s company and he
consistently adhered to the declara
tion that he would rather die than
ruin her gx>od name. This story was
not credited by the authorities.
Hillstrom apeared shortly after
the murders with a bullet wound in
his shoulder. Blood spots showed
that the Morrisons wounded their as
sailant. The man with whom Hill
strom lived disappeared after the
murder. The missing man was be
lieved to have been Hillstrom's ac
complice, witnesses at the trial testi
, fying that two men of their general
appearance were seen loitering around
the Morrison place.
Fourteen men besides Hillstrom
have died at the hands of the Utah
firing squad, according to law. Only
four ever chose to be hanged. The
procedure scheduled for today was j
lixed by precedent. Extraordinary
precautions were taken to guard of
ficials, from the governor and
supreme court justices down to
Sheriff John Corless, who was to give
the firing signal. Even the principal
public buildings were under heavy
i
guard as was also the county prison.
Many letters were received during
\
Hillstrom’s fight for a new trial or
commutation, threatening officials
with death and stating that buildings
would be razed with dynamite if Hill-!
strom was not freed.
Before dawn today Hillstrom was
to be garbed in a black shirt, open at

the neck; black trousers and loose
slippers. He was to be given his
choice of food for breakfast. This
last meal over, Hillstrom was to be
led, blindfolded, by two guards to
ward the open court where riflemen
were to be hidden behind the black
smith shop door, Hillstrom’s request
to face his executioners unblindfolded
was denied. He was not to see the
sun on his last day on earth.
The riflemen are picked shots.
They were to be taken to the prison
secretly and their identity was not to
be known. One of their five guns was
to contain a blank, but none of the
riflemen are to know which was the
harmless weapon. The rifles, extend
ing from five holes in the door, will
point at a congress chair 20 feet away
in the prison yard. The guards will
quickly shove the doomed man into
the chair, strap his legs and arms to
posts and fasten a strap around his
waist.
The prison physician will take Hill
strom’s pulse and pin a white target
over his heart. The little group of
official witnesses is to keep at a safe
distance, behind ropes. Sheriff Cor-'
less will step back and ask the wit
nesses to uncover. He will give a
signal and five rifles will speak. Four
will spit deadly missies through the
white target, through Hillstrom’s!
heart and into the packed sand box
behind the chair. Hillstrom is ex
pected to die almost instantly.
Although Hillstrom came to the |
United States from Sweden when he
was 20, he did not take out citizenship
papers. He was well known in the
ranks of the Industrial Workers of
the world. Charges by the prosecu
tion that Hillstrom was arrested dur
ing the Butte labor troubles, that he
aided the McNamara brothers in their
dynamiting career and other allega
tions, were never refuted by the de
fence, but Attorney O. N. Hilton of
Denver, a volunteer in Hillstrom’s
defense, challenged the pardon board
to prove that Hillstrom was ever con
victed of any criminal charge. There
was no proof that he had ki'led an
officer.
Hillstrom was the author of many i
I. W. W. songs and articles display
ing his bitterness against conditions,
rather than any marked literary tal
ent. He has no fixed place of resi
dence.
