perfect, and the execution occurred without
a hitch. O'Donnell was cool and collected.
He made no statement on the scafIold.
O'Donnell was notified at 7:30 o'clock to

expressed great sorrow for his outburst of
temper In the Dock at the conclusion of
his trial. He said he had felt the greatest
animosity for the witnesses who appeared
against him, but it had now disappeared.
After communion had been administered
to the condemned man, Binns, the hang

to the operation of pinioning with a smile
and without a murmur. The procession
then moved toward the scaifold. 0Donnell
