cell, mass was performed in the prison
chapel in the presence of the Governor

sacrament. Meanwhile group of women
which had gathered outside the prison
were on their knees saying the litany for
the dying.
Curley walked to the scaffold with but
little assistance. He seemed to be re-
signed to his fate, but was hardly firm.
lie declined to make any statement touch
ing his connection with the crime for
which he was executed. Death was in
stantaneous. In the letter which Curley
wrote to his wife he said: 81 will take
my secret to the grave with me, and leave
those who are at freedom to enjoy it. l
will die in peace, fOrgiving my enemies"
When the black flag announcing that
the execution had taken place was hoist
ed over the prison, every man in the
crowd outside, which numbered barely
1000, uncovered his head, and murmurs
of sympathy with Curley were uttered.
A rush was then made by the crowd for a
garden near by where Curley's relatives
had assembled and. where his father was
kneeling and praying for the repose of the
soul OF his son. The people soon dis
persed quietly.

1890 O'Clock. There were nine or ten
cOnvulsive struggles, and his neck was
broken by the fall. He eXhorted the
young men to take warning and profit by
his fate, and to meet him in heaven. He
exhibited no fear or nervousness, and
asked the Sheriff to hasten matters. In

out, but Hunter refused, and while
STOPPING over the fire which he was

everyone: The cOlored people were en-

accepted by the cOlored people as just
retribution for the willful taking of a
