A SICKENiNG ACCIDENT.
A Workman Whirled to His Death In
| the Packing House Machinery.

Fritz Siebert was killed in a frightful man.
ner this morning at the pork packing establish
ment OF Jacob Franz on Brightwood avenue
just this side of the Scheutzen park. Fritz
was butcher and had been in
Mr.. Franz's employ for some time. This
morning after all the orders for meat
had been filled there was some smoked hams
and bacon left that had to be put back into the
smoke house, the smoke room being on the
second floor of the factory.
About $3.50 o'clock Fritz went to the clerk,
MIR. Chas J. Meister, and asked what there was
to be done, as he had finished the job he had
been working on.
The clerk instructed him to put away the left
over meat for tomorrow, and he proceeded to
the upper landing. The door leading to the
smoke house was open and the work of hang
ing up the meat would take only a
few minutes. No more attention was
paid TO Siebert until Mr.. Meister heard a
strange noise above and looking up to the land
ing he saw that Siebert had been
caught IN the machinery and was
being whiried around as fast as
the machinery could send him, his head
striking the floor at every revolution of the
shaft. Mr.. Meister shouted to the engineer to
stop the engine, but il was too late, for
the unfortunate mans skull had been broken
open aud his brains were scattered about
the floor. His body was otherwise terribly dis
figured. Upon examination it was found that
siebert's apron, which was made of an old
piece OF bagging, had caught in the end of the
shafting. The floor in the smoke house is q
sort OF grating and parts of the brain and
broken skull had fallen through to the ground
The body was viewed by the coroner, who
gave a certificate of accidental death, and Un-
dertaker Fred Spindler removed the remains
to his establishment and prepared them for
burial
The deceased who was thirty-four years old,
came to this country from Germany when quite
young and has resided in the District for ten
years. He leaves wife and one child. When
the accident occurred his wife was In her home,
which is not more than Q hundred feet from
where Fritz met his death

Have Set-to That Ends In a Draw.

San FRANCISCO, Feb. 2S.-Danny Needham
and Patsey Kerrigan fought 100 rounds at the
California athletic club last night, when the
referee declared the fight off and stated that
the amount OF the purse which would be awarded
the men would be fixed later. He said he
had examined the hands of both men and had
found them in such condition that they could
not continue the tight. 1t was 3:I5 a. m. when
the fight closed after lasting six hours and
forty minutes. The fight was a walk
around from the start, and there were
not more than half dozen rounds
In which the men attempted TO force
matters. Needham was knocked down three
times in the fifty-tifth round and four times In
the seventieth, but he arose and fought des-
perately during both rounds. The seventieth
showed little or no attempt at any lead fighting
as both OF the men were greatly exhausted
During the last ten rounds not blow was
struck

DICK MEETS HIS ROPE.
As Brutal and CowardIy a Murderer ~
Ever Stretched Hemp.

BIRMIsGHAM, ALA, Feb, 2s-Dick Haves
was hung at the jail here at 1921 Few saw
the execution, though thousands were present.
The crimes for which Richard r. Hawes paid
the penalty with his life today was the murder
of his wife and two children, Nav and Irene
Tuesday morning, December 4, 1885, the
body OF May was found floating in
an artificial Lake at East Lake, a pleasure
resort six miles from this city, but
II was not identified until the next day. The
discovery led TO still further investigation and
the residence of Hawes was visited by several
persons, who found the place deserted and
evidences that horrible crime had been conn
mitted. There were blood splotches on the foor
and walls, and IN corner of one of the rooms
bloody club was found The sams
day it Was learned that Hawes had been mar
rled to Miss May Stoery at Columbia, Miss He
was arrested the same night while passing
through Birmingham ON his way to Georgia to
spend his honeymoon. He identified the body of
his child, but stated that ne had been divorced
from his wife and she had gone away The
children, he said, had been placed in a con-
vent at Mobile and he was at a loss 10 under
stand now her body came to be found where it
was. The palpable lmprobability of such o
story convinced those who heard his statement
that he had murdered the rest of the family
BY the direction of the coroner the lake was
drained and the bodies of Mrs Hawes aud lit
tie Irene, heavily weighted with railroad iron,
were found on the bottom.
THE RIOT.
The finding OF Mrs. Hawes' corpse in
famed the public mind to q state Of
frenzy. Ali efforts of the press and city
and county authorities 30 allay the excitement
were futile. The jail was stormed by 10000
people determined to lynch the murderer.
The sheriff ordered them to halt but the mob
replied with cries of derision and pressed for
ward The order given the guard
to fire and volley resulted in the
death of ten persons and the woundine
of many more. The spirit of the mob was
broken by the storm Of bullets and it never re
turned to the attack, contrary to the expecta-
ton Of the authorities, who had in the mean-
time telegraphed the governor for military
assistance.
Hawes' trial commenced on April 26 and
lasted eleven days. The jury returned q ver-
dict of guilty, with the death penalty, after two
hours dellberalion
