[From an Instantaneous Photograph, taken on t

tho.. gay leading to the scaffold.
At thi, tJnent 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 in"
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, ac-
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, land
now, order"

Sheriff Ege 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 McGoirick.
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-
side Father Henry McGolrick, while
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 quick start. Then it
glanced along the deadly Scaffold. and
rested for 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.
At11:04 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 taces 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
heap on the trap. He was supported by
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 II :Os1z the deadly moose was splaced
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 Ege

TAR AND FEATHERS
Will Probably Adorn a Fairbury,
Neb., Lothario.

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
him as a smooth villain. A few years
ago he won the affections of young
girl at Cherokee, ruined her and
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 few weeks ago,
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
coat of tar aud feathers he will be
lucky.

was removed the dead mans eyes were
wide open, giving the face 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,
It 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 a small
stream of saliva. which dropped down
onto his black clothes, and left slight
stains. Ali the physicians examined
the two bodies carefully, paying ese
pecial attention to the necks. Wills
Tins neck had been broken, it wa

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
0ner Towers, as soon as the board of eX-
amining 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.
