to be in the market has been acting an addltOnal
draw back in this department of the trade.

Two Murderer. Hung.

CHICAGO, March II. George Driver
who killed his wife on the morning of the
18th Of last November by shooting her
with pistol borrowed from ihis son. was
executed in the County Jail this afternoon
at 2.2i o'clock. Last night was spent
mainly in prayer, his attending physician
being of Presbyterian faith. This MORN
ing a Jesuit Father visited him. but he de-
clined to follow his advice. He said that
he was once Catholic because his wife
and children were but he had renounced
the faith since conviction and would die a
Presbyterian.
About noon he expressed n desire to
converse with Rafferty,. another murderer
who is confined in the Jail under sentence
of death. and who has been granted a SUI
persedeas twice. Driver spoke with him
long and earnestly. advising him to make
peace with Heaven Rafferty, laughed at
him. The children of the doomed man
acted unfeelingly and strangely. They
talked and laughed with strangers as il at
a levee. Shortly after O'Clock Driver
was taken from the cell where he was pray
ihg and brought to the scaffold, which he
mounted firmly and without hesitation.
When asked il he had anything to say. he
addressed the crowd. stating that whisky
had brought him to the gallows. He ad-
vised all to shun liquor as poison that
injured the body and mind. The drop fell
at 2.4 Z. NJ, and in eleven minutes he
was dead.
