A LIFE FOR A LIFE.
Mignal Chacon Pays the Penalty Of His
Crime in the Revolving Way Pre-.
scribed by Law.

NEw YoRK, July 2.
Mignal Chscon, the young Cuban who
killed his paramour while attempting to shoot
her husband. was hanged at s.40 this morn
ing, in the yard OF the Toombs prison. The
shot that pierced the heart Of Mrs. Williams
was intended for her husband. Chscon's
sleep last night was restless, and two deputy
sheriffs kept constant watch, fearful that he
might at the last moment cheat the gallows
by self destruction. He arose this morning
early and had completed his ablutions and
received visit from his spiritual advisers
before Under Sheriff Sexton came TO the
prison, when his breakfast, consisting OF
rolls, coffee and eggs, was brought to him.
He dragged his chair in a perfunctory way
toward the table on which the meal was
| placed and seated himself with a heavy sigh
He ate a little, drew back from the table, and
said he could eat nothing. During this time
the hangman was in the prison yard testing
the instrument of death. The police had
arrived and surrounded the prison. No per-
son was admitted to the prison except en-
ployes, and Franklin street between there
and Elm was kept free of all travel.
At 10 A. NJ. the sher.fis deputies arrived
headed by Sheriff Grant They were all
dressed in black and carried truncheons, TO
each of which was attached small piece of
Grape On entering the prison yard the dep
uties were drawn up in line on three sides of
a square, the scaffold and the womans prison
making the fourth side. The sheriff and
under sheriff Immediately went to Chacon's
cell. The sheriff produced the death war
rant. The reading is not absolutely essen
tisl on the part of the sheriff. The sheriff
and under sheriff left the murderers cell
after as short stay as possible and then the
| hangman and his assistant commen need the
work of pinioning the murderer's arms. The
assistant held Chacon while the hangman tied
his arms behind his back
! The crowd in the prison yard was hushed
to silence as the word was passed out that
Chacon was coming. The sheriff and under
sheriff led the procession from the prison.
Chacon was grasped on either side by Deputy
Warden Finley and deputy sheriff.
The murderer was dressed in black suit ut
wore no collar. The black cap made him an
awful picture of despair and woe, and alto
gether in his appearance presented most
vivid illustration of murderer's terrible end
Several of the deputy sheriffs turned their
faces as he was carried along to the scaffold.
The moment that he was placed upon it his
legs were tied, the black cap was drawn down,
the moose was adjusted, and quicker than il
takes to tell il the rope was cut at 7.40 and
Chacon was hanged. As the body re5ounded
from the cross piecethe hands and legs be-
came rigid with muscular contractions. In
few minutes the last outward sign of life
was manifested in the struggling of the body
The struggles were horrible to look at but
were of short duration. 1t is. thought that
his neck was broken.

Report ofthe Civil Service Commission
On the Action Of J. Parker veaxey as
Postmaster at Baltimore.

WASHINGTON, July 9.
The civil service commission make public
today their "opinion on the action of j. Par
ker Veszey as postmaster at Baltimore, in
making appointments for partisan reasons"
Veazey found 249 republicans and six demo-
Gratis IN his office when was appointed, all
having received their places before the civil
service act went into effect. OF the 81 ap-
pointed under the act, Is were republicans
and three democracts. To apply the "civil
service rules" Veazey discharged all the re-
publicans not appointed auder the rules, and
hlied their places, with three OF four excep-
tions, with democrats who had passed exam
nation, but who were nevertheless chosen
because they were democrats, Dividing the
applicants into groups of four, who had
passed the best examinations, he made his
selections from them giving the democrats
preference. He was, however, forced uuder
this provision to appoint several republicans.
Commenting upon this, Mr.. Lyman says; In
removing the republicans, simply because
they were republicans, and appointing dem
ocrats because they were democrats, the re-
publicans being shut out on account of polit-
ical preferences, Veazey grossly violated the
spirit of the civil service act rule Sth provid-
ing that discrimination on account of polit-
cal or religious opinion shall not be made.
VeazeN holds that the civil service act and
rules ieaVe authority and duty of removal
undisturbed, with the exception of rule llth,
which forbids removals for refusing to per-
form political service or pay political assess
ments; that therefore while he was postmas-
ter at Baltimore. he had the right to remove.
employees in his office from civil service for
any cause satisfactory to himself. except the
cause mentioned in rule llth.
The commissioners quote the rules extern
sivey to show that the law has been violated
by Veazey and express themselves to that
eff ct in long and elaborate treatise on the
entire question.
