The COrone jury pronounced the customary verdict and all
is
Pece died with his hands hanging by bis side while those
of Gonzales clasped in front of his body Neither one
suffered pain the inst shock doubtless killing them b0t
instantly though there spasmoc movements for several
but surgical science has declared such motions not 10
indicative OF pain but simply Of involuntary muscular con
traction.
The sheriff arrangements with regard to the prisoners were
admirable and the doomed men endured no unnecessary pang
I'm the matter of accommodations for Deputy Sherfs the jury
and of the public press there was good cause
for serious complaint.
