William Peake. the famous Swiss bell-ringers
have been inmates of the Cortland county aims
house since the 1st Of January. Their presence
IN the institution became known to the public

was private in the Jail yard, the scaffold

were guarded by the police, and promptly

not broken. He writhed fearfully, and

81 riff announced that the execution was
over but the body was not cut down until
some time later. Palmer has been unusual
