After the Execution.


Yesterday, after the execution Of Bedford and
Queenan at the jail their bodies were cut down
and placed In the coffins prepared for them
plain walnut colored ones with six handles each
and ornameDted-they we're then placed In the
chapel over In the east wing OF the building.
The features OF the dead were not distorted In

through by the rope and both necks broken
