A Hideous Scene.
ONE WHICH DID NOT BRING CREDIT ON
PENNSY

ONE WHICH DID NOT BRING CREDIT ON
PENNSYLVANIA
From a special to the New York World,
describing the execution of Mrs. White
ling:
Sheriff Krumbhaar gave the column
motion by stepping first, and slowly it
filed into the corridor until he himself
stood at the door of the cell and echoed
the word that had died on her lips.
Come" he said gently, but with quiet
dignity. Come, madame, it is time
Slowly arose the woman, white and
trembling. Her minister and the under
taker gave her quick support, and fol-
lowed by Drs. Bennett and Weinbrante
the two female physicians, and Mrs.
Matthews, the matron, she fell into the
line Immediately behind the Sheriff, and
the march was on again. Right in front
was the scaffold; yet it seemed an end
less way Back along the line came in
distinctly the lowly spoken words of the
minister.
At last when the steps were reached
Mrs. Whiteling, leaning heavily upon
her supporters, started up them. The
others filed off to the right. AS she al
most reached the top Prison Agent
Camp grasped her hand and cried
Goodbye; God be merciful to YOU AS
she stepped on the trap the rear of the
procession was appearing in front, and
man whom nobody was supposed to
know, took his place back of the scaffold
at the spring.
+ Then camp scene SO hideous that
people were sick for it's end. Assistant
Superintendent Richardson and Keeper
John Henry, assigned to prepare the
woman for execution, met her as she
stepped ON the trap with haste that
~, L l, foil r
was a race with fleeing courage and sec
onds counted. Behind her stood the
minister, as white as she, seemingly too
awed to speak Beside her, her friend
and undertaken, Mr.. Kerr, worked with
a religious frenzy to keep up her
strength Even he leaned toward her
often, with his hand ON her shoulder,
and his voice was hoarse, while he ad-
ministered scriptura1 phrases as doctor
would stimulants.
The wOmans form sWayed and trem-
bled like leaf. Her face was ashen and
terror sat in every feature of it, Her
ewes were dull and staring, and she cried
and groaned incoherently such words
as Dear God, hear me. Do not leave
me. Savior, have mercy?" The air was
sitting to the watchers. The suspense
was awful One could hear her quiet
and short breathing. Her hands were
manacled, yet.nobody noticed it.
Richardson, dropping to his knees,
wound band around her plain black
gown above the ankles and bound it
tightly. He was up again like flash,
and slipping the black cap over her face,
the moose, directed by hand from be-
hind closed over it. One tightening at
the knot,a sob, and a second. No painful
retreat from the scaffold. Officers and
members had already stepped noiseless-
4 ly to ledge of safety. A guard on the
/ upper rail raised his hand and dropped
it. The doors of the scaffold flew as
under, and Sarah Jane Whiteling had
atOned her crime.
