After finish ing his chart Dr. Hicks gave Gulteau his final benediction and farewell, saying "God, the Father, be with thee and give thee peace forever more" The attend ants then pinioned his legs carefully and adjusted the moose about his neck. Mr. Strong placed the black cap over his head, and as he did so Guiteau cried out in loud voice, "Glory, Glory, Gl0ryr Instantly tho trap was sprung. The body turned partly around, but there was not the slightest perceptIble motion of the limbs when the drop fell. A yell was sent up by some persons inside the JalI- This was re-echOed by a thousand or more people who hurrahed lustlly There was a general rush by the pOpulace up- on the iail door. The officials were un- able to withstand it and a hundred peO- ple crowded into the office. For at least forty seconds after the lrOp fell the body | hung motionless. Then there was | slight motion of the shoulder and legs, due to muscular contraction. Three min | utes after the drop fell the body was | lowered to be examined by the physl- clans. There was a decided action of ! the heart for fully fourteen minutes, and the pulse Auttered two minutes longer. When the body had hung with the feet | just touching the ground over half an hour it was lowered into a coifin which was waiting for it under the scaf- | fold.

Guiteau told a reporter, in answer tO 9 question as to disposition of the ho6y, that it
 would be buried m the Jail where It would be safe.
