The execution took place In the corridor of
the county Jail. Thomas and Thorp were exc
cuted Oh the same gallows in 1877, while the
rope was the same with which Menken was
hanged at Binghamton a month ago. The
drop fell at 1O:1S o'clock. The condemned
mans neck was broken. He confessed his
crime.
The death warrant was read in the cell at
9:45, and at 10 O'Clock the prisoner stood be-
meath the gallows. He appeared unmoved.
When asked If he had anything to say, Father
Ulrich replied, saying the prisoner wished to
confess that he was justly punished for the
crime committed. He asked forgiveness of all
whom he had scandalized or caused pain, and
died willingly. The moose and black cap were
then adjusted and at 1918 the weight fell. The
neck was dislOcated, and after a few muscular
contractions the physicians pronounced him
dead. Petmeky left instructions as to the dis.
pOsal of his body, and the burial took place In
the Catholic cemetery this afternoon.
