San Francisco, 23.- George A.

respectfully connected, formerly in
the employ Of the Rogers Company
chain factory, who strsngled his
sister-in>law, Adele j. Tlllson, In
this city, on October Goth, 1880. was
hanged at II "a to-day. Adele Till
son was the younger sister OF
Wheeler's wife, and he became en-
amored of her in New York. An
unlawful intimacy followed and a
child was born. The wife condOned
the offense and c)ntinued to permit
her SISTER to live with them, fully
aware of the criminal intimacy be-
tween the two, which continued.
They came he.e in 1880, when
another child was born to
the sister = in law. Shortly
after a young miner met Miss Tell
son, admired her, proposed and was
accepted; when Wheeler learned
the fact, he entered the sister-in-
laws room, took her in his lap, pre-.
tending to joke with her, seized her
by the throat, choked her to death,
squeezed the body into an empty
Saratoga trunk, then proceeded to
the police station and surrendered,
assigning as u reason for his act that
he could not see her become the
wife OF any man. A series OF trials
followed. Every effort was made
to save the mans neck. but
on three different occasions
he was sentenced to death.
At an early hour this morning,
crowd Of 500 people assembled out
eide the Jail. The demand for en-
terance tickets was so great that
they.were held at dol ars' premium.
When led from the cell, Wheeler
evinced unexpected frmuess. He
helped the officials fix the straps to
his legs. The only visible emotion
was a twitching Of the lips. He was
attended by a Catholic priest. ALI
though brought up a Quaker, he de-
sired to die IN the Catholic faith.
Being asked by the sheriff if he had
