Lynch Law in Nevada - Further Particulars. Austin, June 5th.

They show that both men had been imprisoned upon serious charges, but had broken jail on the morning of the date of their execution. Both the men are said to have been desperadoes. Walker shot and killed a man in the Lundy House at Belmont a few weeks ago, and McIntyre also had the reputation of being a six-shooter expert.
