4 DOUBLE HANGING
In the City Of Brotherly Love,

PHILADELPHIA, May e-David W. Vim
cent and Robert G. Hall were hanged in
the Moyamensing prison this morning at
1903, the former for the murder of a
Greek sailor named Carlofatti, and the
latter for the murder of his mistress, Mrs.
Lillian L. Rivers. The arrangements for
the double execution, which was the sec
ond ever occurring in this county, were
perfect in every detail. Both the con.
demned men slept well from midnight till
5 o'clock this morning, and both ate
heartily of dainty breakfast, and, after
finishing their repast, the remaining
hours of their lives were spent in devo-
tional exercises, which We're participated
in earnestly by Hall and iLdifferently by
Vincent
At 1906 the procession from the con.
denmed mems cells to the scaffold was
formed, and both marched 20 their doom
with a iirm step. When the gallows was
reached the Rev. Father Isoleri of the
Italian Catholic Church pronounced the
last rites Of the Church upon Vincent,
and the Rev Mr. Smiley of the Presby.
terian church performed similar kind
office for Hall. As the latter concluded
his supplcation, Hall, in strong and
clear voice, prayed as follows: 20,
Heavenly Father, in three minutes ex-
pect will stand in Thy presence. have
been guilty of a great crime, and | ac-
knowledge my sins o, Lord Jesus, into
Thy hands now commend my spirit,
trusting in Thy great love and mercy for
pardon In the world that / soon expect
TO find. Thou hast accepted me, 0, Faith
er; but, Oh. Jesus, forgive me- Into
Thy hands | now commit myself.
Amen" Just as soon. as Hall had finish
ed at 1913 the trap was sprung and both
men were launched into eternity.
At 1880 the bodies were cut down.
