The confession of Osborne reveals
one Of the most horrible murders ever
committed. He says he was hired to
kill the woman by man who was to give
him $1,000, the object being to get rid
of her as witness in an important suit.
He went to the house and found her
alone. She asked him to eat, and pre-
pared food for him. As she went into
the cellar for butter, he followed her,
knocked her down and crushed her skull
with a brick He then went up stairs
and rifed the drawers, SO as to create
the impression that the murder was COM
mitted for plumber. He returned TO the
cellar and found her still alive. He
asked her if she knew him, and she said
she did. She also said, "Oh, why did
you do this horrible deed" He then
cut her throat He declared he did not
violate her person. The conduct OF Os-
borne since his conviction has been
coarse and brutal, and he often engaged
in ribald jests and vulgar tales. He
mounted the scaffold with firm, fear
less tread, and with q smile upon his
features. He stood unmoved while his
arms We're pinioned. When the drop
fell q horrible scene was presented, as
his neck was not broken. Slowly and
with terrible contortions he was choked
to death. Outside the Jail 5000 or 5000
people were gathered, bat only the num-
Der allowed by law witnessed the execu-
ton.
