LebanOn's Triple Hanging To-day-Wise
Brandt and Hummei Swung into Eternity
Impressive Scenes Prior to the Execu-
LEBANON, Pa. May 13.-Very few peo.
pie were admitted to the Jail yard this
morning to witness the execution OF
Brandt, Hummel and Wise. The entire
morning was taken up with religious
services. Rev. Geo. Trabert, assisted by
the Rev. F. J. F. Schantz, of Myerstown,
attended upon Brandt and Hummel, while
the Revs. Israel Hay and Ezekiel Light
gave spiritual consolation to Wise.
At 1915 Wise gave notice to the deputy
sheriff that he was in readiness to proceed
to the gallows. The solemnity of the
scene was intense. Wise left his cell first,
preceded by Revs. Hay and Light, and as
cended the scaffold with firm step and a
smile upon his countenance. He was al
lowed to make the following statement {:
"What 1 have to say is that all of us are
guilty, as testified in court, and confessed
all about it, and how Hummel got in.
That is all have to say
Rev. Mr.. Hay, accompanied Wise to the
scaffold and prayed and sung the fami-
liar hymn in German. "There is foun-
tain filled with blood'
At the conclusion of the hymn Brandt
and Hummel were brought out, accom-
panied by the deputy sheriff and clergy
men. The men were all clad in dark
suits, with boutonniere, made of smilax
and lilies of the valley, which had been
presented early in the morning by their
friends. The men were swung off upon
the same gallows upon which Drews and
Stichler met their deaths.
An impressive scene took place upon the
gallows previous to the execution. Deputy
Sheriff Deininger, the clergymen, Sheriff
Grail and assistants went upon the scaffold
and shook hands with the culprits. Each
one of them thanked Sheriff Grail for his
and attention during their incar-
ceration of two years, and expressed de-
sire to meet him in the world to come.
At Wise's special request he was allow
ed to visit the cells of all the other prisoners
in the Jail, and while bidding them good
bye, impressed upon them the necessity of
leading honest and virtuous lives.
At Ills a. IN. Sheriff Grail stepped
upon the platform and adjusted the ropes
around the necks of the three men at the
same time his deputies bound them hand
foot and placed over their heads the white
muslin cap.
Both Brandt and Hummel were asked if
they had anything to say and they replied
in the negative. All three men knelt upon
the platform of the trap and engaged in
prayer, while the Rev. Mr.. Schantz read
appropriate passages from the scriptures.
All persons having withdrawn from the
scaffold, Sheriff Call sprung the trap at ex-
actly Ills. All three of the men swung in
the air without cOntortion or even
the movement of muscle. A slight trem-
or was observable in Hummel's knees, but
beyond that nothing indicated but that
death was sudden and easy. At II 80 DR..
examined the bodies and de-
clared them dead.
