TORONTO, Nov. 2e.-The Guelph murderer,
William Harvey. who shot and killed his wife
and two daughters last summer, this morning
paid the penalty for his crime. The hanRman
was q farmers son, an amateur executioner,
and Il was one Of the worst pieces OF bungling
that has ever been witnessed in Canada. The
weight which lifted the body was not heavy
enough, and the scaffold was not high enough
to give Sufficient rebound to break the neck,
and the struggles and contortions OF the victim
were friRhtful as he slowly stranRled to death.
The knot had slipped, and had caught in front
OF the ear. and the gurRlinR sounds OF the VIC
tim could be heard even outside Of the jail
walls. Many Of those who saw the hanging
left the place as soon as they possibly could.
The crime for which William Harvey was
hanged was committed on March 26, 1889. For
eighteen months previous the prisoner had
been in the employ Of James W. Lyon. book
publisher Of Guelph, as general manager and
bookkeeper. Mr.. Lyon In examining Harveys
books. after an absence Of four months, found
sshortage Of $1,000. and caused his arrest on

this the defence relied mainly for q discharge.
1t was proved at the trial that the prisoner was
