WORK OF THE HANGMAN.
MAxWELL's LIFE TAKEN AT ST. LOUIS
The Little Chloroformer Denounces the
American Government aud Declares
HIS Execution an Infamy and
Disgrace to the United States

Sr. LOUIS, Aug. 1O.-At S:47 a. m.
Sheriff Harrington, preceded by a detail
OF police, entered the inner yard of the
Jail and the sheriff entered Maxwelrs
cell, where he and Landgraf had been
placed together, and announced that the
final moment had arrived. Maxwell paled
and pulled his fingers nervously. His
was the first death warrant read, and he
stood up and heard his doom calmly.
though he was plainly growing weaker all
the time. While his arms were being pin
Toned Maxwell bit his lower lip and
gulped several times. Langraf received
the warrant and pinioning as stolidly as
Maxwell could. The procession to the
scaffold was then formed, Father Than
walking between Maxwell and Landgraf,
preceded by Sheriff Harrington and dep
uties and followed by the police, reporters
and witnesses. As Maxwell passed through
the upper yard he walked firm but slow.
There was a wonderful change from the
apparently unconcerned man putting a
cigarette and the one en- route TO his

A TICKET TO BE PROUD OF.
STANDARD BEARERS OF DEMOCRACY.
The Men Whom the Party of the People
Presents for the State Offices in Indi-
ana-Tried and True, They Are n
Credit to Party and State.

The state conventions of all the parties
have now been held. THE SENTINEL has
been liberal in its biographies of all the
candidates. 1t now seems properto present
those men for whom THE SENTINEL is ask
ing the sufFrages OF the people OF Indiana
The three candidates for the supreme
iudgeships come before the voters OF the
state with the prestige of distinguished SER
vices on the bench, where they aspire to
remain. The supreme court OF lndi-
ana, largely through the learning and
industry of these men has attained in
more recent years an eminence among
the courts of last resort in the various
states which is not generally appreciated
at home, but which is fully recognized
throughout the country. An investiga-
ton OF the authorities cited in the lead
ing text books as American leading cases
shows that the amount of final law estab-
lished by Judges Niblack, Howk and
Collars is far above the average.
No higher compliment could possibly
be paid a judge. The judiciary is
prominently recognized as the depart
ment Of government in which conserva-
tive men with records are desirable. The
democratic candidates for the supreme
bench have records.
The two Ms who head the executive
part of the ticket are also tried men,
not tried in the particular positions for
which they are candidates but tried
in many other positions of honor and re-
sponsibility. Both went 10 the front when
the war broke out and staid at the front
until the war was ended. Neither has the

THE HON. c. c. MArsoN.

war record OF the republican candidate for
lieutenant governor, and both will poll
more soldier votes because they have not.
The chairman of the house committee on
pensions has proved himself indeed
the friend OF the soldier, because he has
been his friend in need, his friend, not
on the stump but on the battle ground
and his friend in congress. This friend,
who entered the war as private and came
out as a colonel together with the other
soldiers friend who also entered as private
and came out as captain, will not be for
gotten by the soldiers of Indiana on the
9th day Of next November. The bloody
shirt cannot be waved in the faces of such
candidates.
If the democratic nominees for auditor
and for secretary OF state had
nothing else to recommend them
than the fact that they had never melted
and led mobs, they ought to be elected.
Democracy and mobocracy will never be
associated in the conduct of Indiana's pub
lie trusts. Nor will republicanism and
mobocracy be very much longer asso-
ciated in the state offices, for Mr.. Miers
has already shown his abilities as win
ner in the race for the legislature, and
Mr.. Munson, with a grand soldier record,
has only Bruce Carr TO run against.
The Hon. John r. Wilson is not, would
not be, the politician that Michner is
Michner is not could not be, the lawyer
that Wilson is. People generally hire
lawyer for legal ability, and the best evil
dence that Indianians will hire such a
one in November is the fact that no
lawyer, republican or democrat, can
be found at the bar where
John Wilson practices who will not adj
= L. IL
he goes into the office, business, not poll
tics, will rank first; he will be attorney
general, not his SO clerk.
Popular Tom Byrnes is another candi-
date who is distinguished for his business
qualifications rather than for his political
cunning. And as for John w. Kern
well, when republicans give ademocrat an
Office, either something is wrong or that
republican is very remarkably qualified;
and when they do it four successive times,
the last alternative alone remains.
Starting with the first candidate in order
and going clear through to the last, the
democratic nominees seem to be men who
have been trained up for exactly the
positions they are now asking---clear
through TO the last--for Prof Griffith has
given all his life to the study, in this
country and In Europe, of educational
systems.
Ii there is one quality common to all
the candidates besides their fitness, it is
their running qualities. 1t will be instruc-
tive TO republicans to consider how many
of the democratic nominees have run
ahead of their tickets, and how many
times they have done il. If the ticket
could have been made stronger the weak
ness is not yet apparent.
The enthusiasm over the nominations
did not end as the delegates left the con-
vention last April. In the language of a
distinguished republican who would not
ike to be quoted, the ticket is ''brainy,
compact and popular" Sketches of the
men who make it 'brainy, compact and
popular" are subioined.

LAST HOURS OF THE CONDEMNED.
Maxwell Restless and Nervous-Landgraf
StOIid and Indifferent.

StoIid and Indifferent.
ST.. LOUIS, Aug, l0-The morning
dawned clear and cool, and as the first
light of Maxwel's last day on earth entered
his narrow cell it heightened the sickly
pallor of his face which had increased
during the night. Shortly after daybreak
Maxwell turned to one of the deputies
and said:
al wish that telegram would come"
"Do you expect telegram" was the
response.
81 do and know it will bring me good
news"
Soon after making the remark Maxwell
threw himself on the cot in his cell, but
remained there only few minutes. He
then arose, lighted fresh cigarette and sat
down at the table, making poor attempt
to read. He was plainly Ill at ease and
occasionally glanced furtively out through
the gratings of the narrow windows OF the
cell and out into the inner yard of the jail.
At few minutes before Maxwell per-
formed his morning ablution and donned
were of plain black with neatly fitting
Prince Albert coat. At 5:1S Father Than
arrived add entered the cell, the door OF
which was closed and those within the Jail
moved away to give all the privacy posi-
BILE. Father Than then administered
communion to the condemned. At the
conclusion of the religious services in
MaxwelPs cell, like offices were accorded
Henry Landgraf by Father Than. Land
graf had occupied his cot greater por-
ton of the night after IL 80 and appeared
cool and collected He was neatly attired
but his apparel was of coarser texture
than that OF the principal actor in the the
double execution. While the father con.
lessor was administering the communion
to the condemned, the deputy sherifls were
engaged on the scaffold prepar
ing the apparatus for its work
At $50 Maxwell and Landgraf sat down
to their final meal, which had been pre-
pared by the jailor's wife. Each was
served with like dishes and the breakfast
| consisted at tried oysters. fried eggs. ho'

death. His face looked pinched and
drawn, of an ashen hue. and his eyes
were swollen. lie glanced about him
piteously, his lips twitching and his APP
pearance was calculated to awaken the
pity of even those who were firmly con-
WINGED he ought to die.
Landgraf looked and moved Ike log,
with half smile and half sneer on his
face. There was no time lost in reaching
the scaffold, which the condemned as
cended without assistance. Maxwell was
placed under the moose next Twelith-st.
Father Than read prayers. Maxwell was
then ask if he had anything to say, and in
and almost inaudable tone, responded
''No." Landgraf merely shook his
head. The black cans were being
drawn, when Landgraf slipped backward
but promptly recovered. There was an
awful look of despair on Maxwell's face
as the cap hid it from view and his knees
showed weakness. The nooses were ad-
iusted quickly and at $50 the drop fell.
Landgraf never moved, nor did a muscle
twitch. Not so with Maxwell. When he
fell his breast heaved convulsively and his
limbs were drawn upward, while the spec
tators were shocked by stream of blood
pouring down the right breast of his coat,
which was afterward found to have been
caused by a cut on theno inflicted by the
rope in some mysterious way. Landgraf
was pronounced dead in eleven and one
half minutes. Maxwell's struggles con-
tinued for fourteen minutes, when he, too,
was pronounced dead by the attending
physicians. Landgraf was cut down at
9:22, Maxwell at 9:l5. The bodies were
removed to the morgue Office and photo
graphed, after which the post mortem was
commenced. 1t was stated by the ply
sicians that the neck of each man was
broken.
An immense crowd of curious people
had congregated all about the Jail, and the
streets nearest the gallows were blockaded.
The police experienced great difficulty in
clearing the hall approaches, and at this
hour, 1890 a. m, hundreds of people still
linger in the vicinity Of the Four courts.
Maxwell met his death brayely, but it was
apparent that he would have broken down
in few minutes longer. Landgraf died
as stolidly as he had lived.
At the coroner's office it was stated that
the remains of Landgraf would be turned
over to his brother, Andrew Landgraf of
South st. Louis, and Maxwelrs remains
would be inferred in Calvary cemetery by
Undertaken George y. Lynch

biscuits and pancakes, with jelly, bread,
butter and coffee. Landgraf ate heartily,
while Maxwell partook of the repast quito
sparingly. AS be sat at the table it was
plain to see that all of his assumed indif-
ference had departed and his face was
blanched, while a troubled, hunted look
had taken possession of his keen eyes.
He was evidently growing weaker, and
had lost all hope OF staying the execution
er's hand. Landgraf maintained the same
old stolid look At Cos Sheriff Harring-
ton arrived at the Jail and announced
that the execution had been postponed
two hours. The only reason assigned
was that the postponement had been
granted at the request of MaSwell's attor-
neyS. Sheriff Harrington also stated that
under the law the men could be hanged
at any time between the hours of and
ii, and that they would leave their cells
at o'clock.
Maxwell received the news of the two
hours postponement calmly, though an
expression OF great relief was plainly Wis
IDLE on his features.
Landgraf paid no attention to it in any
way. The crowd on the house tops sur
rounding the jail-yard where the execu-
ton took place, remained patiently in
their elevated positions from a. m, till
the hour of execution. The view was
clear and unobstructed from the roofs of
dozens of building in the, vicinity, and
hundreds Of people took advantage of the
same. The number OF spectators admit
ted to the Jail was unusually small. For
the first time in the history of the st.
Louis Four courts, telegraph Instruments
were placed in the building by the As
ISOLATED Press and the leading papers OF
the city for the prompt transmission of

CHARLES A. MUNSON,
The Popular Candidate for Auditor of
State.

State.
Few men in Indiana have lived more
industrious life than the subject of this
sketch. He was born in the city of Fort
Wayne in 1S43. His father dying when
Charley was five years old, and his step
father at eleven, young Munson was
obliged TO seek employment to support his
widowed mother and her little family.
He clerked for various firms until
1856, whom he entered the Office
of the Ohio & Indiana telegraph
company, now forming a part of
the Western Union. From 1859 until
1862 he was engaged in purchasing grain
upon the streets for Little & McCulloch,
and during the winter months OF those
years he attended the public schools and
was jealous and industrious student. In
1862 he enlisted in the u. S. navy and was
assigned 10 the receiving ship Clara
Dolson OF the Mississippi squadron. Soon
afterward he was ordered to the ironclad
Chillicothe, then in front OF Louisville
prepared to defend that city from the ap-
proach OF Bragg's army. After the battle
of Perryviile his vessel was ordered down
the Mississippi river, where he par
ticipated in the perilous boat
expeditions up the Yazoo and Sunhower
rivers, and took an active part in the long,
patient but succe ssful siege Of Vicksburg.
A portion OF the time he served on the
"Red Rover"
On the morning of his twentieth birth
day he was ordered to the flag ship Black
Hawk, and was commissioned masters
mate, United States navy, by Admiral
Porter.
The hard service, torrid climate and
unwholesome water OF the Yazoo river and
bayous, had so injured his health that
after the opening of the Mississippi he
was granted furlough to return home,
and upon the certificate of DR..
William II. Brooks that he was
unfit for service his resignation was ac-
copied. After the close of the war be
went South, and for the period of year
he was employed as brakeman and bag
gage-master on the New Orleans, Jackson
q Great Northern railroad. In 1868 he
was employed by the wholesale firm of
Huestis & Hamilton of Fort Wayne as a
travelling salesman, and from 1868 until
1876, and during the period between the
years 1880 and 1884. he was one of the
most successful and popular drummer"
on the road. In the year 1876 he was
nominated and elected sheriff of Allen
county, renominated by reclamation in
1878, and led his ticket nearly 1000
votes. After the expiration of his term of
Office be re-eptered the service OF Huestis
