the @sy leading to the scaffold.
At thi, iJment some of the physicians
standing at the foot of the gallowS sat
down. The sheriff saw them, and, lean
ing toward them. said:
''Gentlemen, you can not sit down in
here. There is not room, and then, this
whole business will be over in thre9
seconds after the meu are brought i'll. !"
At 1851 Carpenter Spell measured
the traps with foot rule and made a
mark in the center, to show where the
condemned mems feet should be placed
when they were brought out to their
door. AS soon as he had finished meas
uring and marking the traps, Supt.
Bracket advanced to the edge of the
scatfold and said:
THE TIME APPROACHING.
"Gentlemen: l am requested by the
sheriff to ask to keep quiet as you can
and to abstain from all conversation"
In an instant all the noise inside the
room ceased, and Deputy Sheriffs John
p. Wall and James Hines took their
stand below the scaffOld, almost under
the drops, SO as to be near the bodies of
the two men after the lever had been
pulled. Wall was at Tins trap and
Hines at Pete's. Sheriff Eye now took
the handouts from where they were
hanging and left the stage, going di-
rectly to the cells Of the prisoners, &C
companied by six deputies.
The silence in the room was intense,
the only sound being the suppressed
breathing of the spectators. Outside
the jail could, be heard the crowd of
men pushing and calling out.
At 11:01 Supt. Brackett spoke:
''Please remove your hats, every one, and
now, order"

Sheriff Eye and Rev. James McGolrick

Sheriff Eye and Rev. James McGolrick;
then followed Tim Barrett, accom-
panied by Deputy Sheriffs George John
son, Frank War d and Jacob Rauen and
Rev. Father Corbett. Last came Pete
Barrett, accompanied by Deputy
Sheriffs John Lorias, John Peterson
and Turnkey James Riley, and Rev.
Henry McGolrick.
AS the party assembled the steps lead
ing to the gallows, the three priests
chanted prayer, while Tim and Pete
made responses which were only par
TALLY audible.
When the platform was reached, Tim
was led to the north side, where he
dropped onto his knees beside Father
COrbett. Pete fell upon his knees be-
Father James McGolrick stood in the
rear, in the center of the platform, and
prayed aloud. The responses, "Oh,
God,
HAVE MERCY ON U.s."
came from time to time in a thick, husky
voice from Tim, and it was evident that
he was laboring under an awful mental
strain. His eyes were wild, and his
face was pinched with the anguish he
was suffering.
Pete's voice could not be heard at all
by the spectators, and the only way
that it was known that he was making
the responses was by seeing his lips
move. To all appearances he was the
firmer of the two. He glanced over the
audience once or twice, and then looked
into the face of the holy man who at
tended him as if seeking consolation
there. Just before the prisoners were
strapped some one in the crowd out
side threw ray of sunshine into the
gloomy room by means of looking
glass. This bright ray struck Tim full
in the face and caused him to turn his

head with a quick start. Then it
glanced along the deadly Scaffold. and
rested for a moment on Father Henry
McGOlrick, where it was seen by Pete.
1t was
THE LAST RAY
which the boys ever saw, for when the
Strapping process began the light dis
appeared and the gloom of the dismal
room seemed more intense than be-
fore.
At 11:04 Tim was strapped. During
the time this was going on he stood
perfectly calm, with the exception of a
slight trembling of his chin and lips.
He looked out upon the sea of faces be-
fore him twice with wild, hunted
look. and then dropped his eyes to the
floor. The strapping was completed at
HOS. just as the last strap was
buckled, the little ray of sunshine rested
Tor moment on his face and then dis
appeared. His voice had grown more
husky, and it was with violent effort
that he made the responses. AT IL :06
the
sTRAPPING OF PETE
was begun. The boy trembled, and
once it seemed that he would sink in a
the priest and the deputy sheriff, and
when this ordeal was over seemed to
recover himself little. Both he and
Tim fastened their gaze on the cruel
fixes which the priests carried, and
seemed to be trying to summon all their
strength.
At IL :OS19 the deadly moose was placed
over Tins head and the knot drawn
just at the left ear. The prisoner did
not move while this was being done,
but his breathing was heavy. Then
camethe black cap, which his his living
face forever from the sight of man.
He was then placed in position on the
trap and left with Father Corbett and
the deputy sheriffs, while Sheriff Eye
went over and

prisoners had retired and were, appar-
emily. resting quietly. ''Their spiritual
advisers have departed, and the boys
were locked up in their cells at 1913
They'll sleep well tonight you may rest
assured" And if the exclusion of re-
porters contributed to this happy result
the condemned did sleep peacefully.
Shortly after 1:3O Sheriff Eye re-
ceived the shrouds and caps for the
prisoners. The cap is made in four
pieces with button at the top, and
ban. The cloak folds nearly to the feet
of the prisoners, and is also black and
soft in texture. For some reason the
sheriff has declined to give the name of
the maker of these articles.
Daylight is approaching. A dull
night is giving place to an historic day.
Already there are sounds of life about
the stone jail building, and hints of out
side life come in from the streets. In
side the jail prisoners are still soundly
sleeping. The Barretts are quiet, and
not sound heard from their gallery
at least that is the report sent down
stairs by the death watch. Up to a.
m. not reporter has been admitted to
the cell room. The clergymen are mo-
mentarily expected, but the boys will
not be disturbed until they awaken.
Shortly before Z o'clock Father Cor
bett appeared and was at once adj
mitted to the lookup. The boys were
awake at that time, and, after bath,
were given new clothing, including
underwear. They were then given a
substantial meal. and both ate heartily.
The sheriff has always contributed
literally to the gastric predjudices of
the prisoners. Breakfast ended, the
attorneys, MessrS. Erwin and Donohue,
were admitted, but as they had no hope
to offer. their call was brief.

Special to the Globe
SIOUX CITY. To-, March 22.-The
sheriff of Cherokee county arrived in
the city from Fairbury. Neb., to-day,
having in custody William Juhue, who
is a man with record which stamps
him as smooth villain. A few years
ago he won the affections of a young
girl at Cherokee, ruined her and a
forced marriage followed. Soon a baby
was born. Wife and child were de-
serted by Juhue, who left town with
prostitute. His whereabouts for two
years was unknown to his wife. Then
he reappeared at Cherokee and for a
time lived with his wife. The baby had
died during his absence, and it was only
a short time after his return that the
mother died. Juhue some time later
formed the acquaintance of Lulu Allen,
an innocent country lass. She was an
orphan and came to Cherokee to live
with her grandparents. During their
absence in Illinois a few weeks ago,
Iuhue induced the girl to marry him.
They came to Sioux City on Monday
last and stopped at the Pacific house.
That night Juhue deserted his bride.
She appealed to the officers but her hus-
band could not found. On Tuesday the
young Wife's grandparents returned to
Cherokee. They were surprised upon
learning of the marriage of the girl and
were heart-brOken. A message in
formed them of the condition of affairs
here, and the grandfather came up at
once and took the girl home. Deputy
Sheriff Davenport located Juhue at
Fairbury, Neb., and his arrest by the
Cherokee sheriff followed. A warm re-
ception awaits him, and if he escapes

cut down first. When the black cap
was removed the dead mans eyes were
wide open, giving the face a horrible
appearance. The lips were slightly
parted and the yellow mustache was
wet with saliva. The entire face was of
as CHASTITY an appearance as is ever seen,
Ii was found that his neck had been
broken in two places, and that the rope
had cut into the flesh slightly. leaving
am unSightly wound. The arms, knees
and feet were then unstrapped and the
handouts removed, and the body turned
ON its back. directly under the trap. AS
soon as the examination of lin was
completed
PETE WAS CUT DOWN,
and an examination of his body was
made. His eyes were found closed when
the black cap was removed, and the
face was more blue and pinched than
that of his brother, who had met
his death at the same instant.
From his lips ran small
stream of saliva. which dropped down
onto his black clothes, and left slight
stains. Ali the physicians examined
the two bodies carefully, paying csc
pecial attention to the neckS. Wills
Tins neck had been broken, it wa
found that Pete's had only been dis
located. which accounted, perhaps, for
his retaining life nearly two minutes
longer than his brother. after the lever
which worked the traps was pulled.
: The bodies were turned over to Cor
oner Towers, as soon as the board of ex-
aiming surgeons had examined them.
and he in turn put them under the care
OF Capt. Terance Connolly, who had re-
ceiyed notice from the Barrett family
to take the bodies. prepare them for
burial, and ship them to Omaha for
burial.

The Barretts Prepared for Their
Death-SpirituaIC Consolation.

Death-SplrltuaI Consolation.
Rev. Father COrbett arrived at the
Jail at $50 in the morning and was
taken at once to the cells occupied by
the condemned men. Half all hOnr
later Rev. Father Henry McGolrick
reached the jail, and also went to the
cells. Both the priests an once began
to talk to the young men. Father Nc
down the corridor, while Tim and
Rev. Father Corbett remained in
the cell. What passed between the
boys and the priests will in all proba-
bility never be known, but it is certain
that both the boys seemed much easier
than before the priests came.
At 7:30 light breakfast, consisting
of coffee, toast, cake. and the like, was
served by a deputy sheriff. Neither
of the boys was hungry, and the food
was removed half an hour later almost
untasted. When the meal was brought
in Pete remarked that he could not see
what difference it made whether they
got anything to eat or not.
About 8 o'clock Rev. Father James
McGolrick went to the jail and was
escorted to where the other two priests
and the Barrett boys were. No one
knows what was said, but the boys were
much affected. Once or twice it seemed
as though they would break down. Just
before Father McGolrick called, w. w.
Erwin, w. II. Donahue and John T.
Byrnes, who nave been making such
strenuous efforts to save Pete's neck,
entered the jail. They went first to the
room where the ponderous instrument
of death stood, and after looking
at that d few moments. crossed
the hall and went to the boys cells.
Here they talked for some ten minutes
and then babe the boys good-by. The
faces of the attorneys were as white as
death as they returned from the cell,
and they at once left the jail; The de-
parture of the attorneys had depress-
ing effect on the boys, and for few
moments they seemed lost in thought.
AT last they resumed their conversation
with the three priests who were pre-
pairing them to meet their doom. They
were agitated, and more than once
found themselves unable to speak, or
make any response to the prayers of
the priests

Special to the Globe.
FARGO, n. D., March 22.-Mrs. Do
matella Brunnelle and Emma Pelican.
of Pleasant township, we're arrested last
evening on the charge Of grand larceny
preferred by r. Rowland, of this city.
They were released on 81, 900 bail to APP
pear for trial this afternoon. The facts
which led to their arrest are that last
October Mr.. Rowland was driving
across the country on a business trip.
and stopped over night at the house of
Mrs. Brunneile. He had with him
satchel which contained valuable
papers and s1,E94 in money. In the
morning he examined his satchel and the
money was all right. He then visited
neighboring farm and returned
to Mrs. Brunnelle's house, and
at her earnest solicitation took
breakfast with her. The money was in
the satchell at this time, he is confident,
as he had examined the satchel again
while coming from the neighbours.
Soon after he had left Mr.. Brunnelle's
a second time, he discovered that the
money had been extracted from the
satchel. He had young man in the
employ of Mrs. Brunnelle arrested on
suspicion, but nothing could be proved
against him, and he was discharged.
Thus the matter has since stood. About
the 1st of March Mr. Rowland caused
Mrs. Bunnelle's house to be searched,
but only few dollars were found. Mir.
Howland's suspicious being aroused, he
caused diligent watch to be kept over
all the actions of Mrs. Brunnelle, which
resulted in tracing her to the Moorhead
bank, where she had 500 bill changed.
AS Mr.. Rowland had six S1O0 bills in
his satcheI, he Immediately caused her
arrest on suspicion. Emma Pelican is
young lady who has been stopping with
her for some time. A preliminary ex-
animation was had to-day and the case
adjourned until Monday.

Last Scene of Lfe--Pinonng Pete while Tim Kuee Prayer.

Tins body revolved once or twice, until
it was stopped by Deputy Wall.
Pete's body hung facing the south
corner of the room, while Tins faced
the end side.
There were a few convulsive move
ments of Tins body. The chest
heaved once or twice and the knees
contracted few times.
THEN ALL WAS STILL.
The horrible object on the other side
hung quiet and still but for one OF two
movements of the chest. The hands
had been tightly clinched when the
drop fell, but in a few moments they
began to relax and take on deadly
white color.
The knots in both moses had slipped
around to the back of the boys necks,
and had thrown their heads forward.
Below the knot was seen the white
flesh, which gradually grew purple,
then dark blue, telling of breaks and
dlsiocations.
DEAD IN THIRTEEN MINUTES.
AT 11:16 Coroner Towers, DR.. Ames.
and DIR. kilvington stepped up to Tins
body and placed their ears over the
heart. The pulse had gone up to 100.
and beat regularly up to Ills. when it
grew irregular and fainter, and at IL :23
could scarcely be detected.
At 11:26, thirteen minutes from the
time the drop fell. Tin was pronounced
dead, and one and three-quarters minutes
later the same was said Of Pete. Drs'
Burton, Quinbv and Dunn were at
Pete'S body, and at 1919 announced
that the pulsations had almost ceased
These continued until IL :27$4, and both
men were then unOfficially dead,
