ination OF Bulling's body showed that
one of the bullets had entered the left
breast and glsncing from the rib had
passed around the body, coming out at
the back. The other had inflicted only
a slight flesh wound on the side. He
had not lost consciousness when the
sheriff ordered four deputies to carry
him to the scaffold. He cursed and
swore at them in horrible manner. A
deputy dragged the struggling man to
the court yard and lifted him to the
gallows. He refused to stand and they
placed him upon a char. AS he sat
there he presented srevolting spectacle.
He was dressed only in shirt and trous-
ers and his hands and face were
covered with blood which had aleo
stained his shirt. Blood was pouring
his shoes which had ran from
his wounds in his breast and formed
dark pools on the floor Of the scatfold,
dripping from thence to the ground be-
meath. He cursed and swore at the dep
uties and screamed and shrieked for
mercy and the sheriff gave MIN large
glass of brandy which he swallowed at
one gulp. Finally he was told to get
up and stand upon the drop. He re-
fused and four deputies held him while
the rope was being placed. The black
cap was placed over his head, and yell
ing, screaming and disappearing he shot
the opening at exactly 800.
His neck was broken by the fall and he
died almost instantly. Rev. Lalake has
been arrested for giving Bulllng the re-
yolyer with which be attempted to com
nit suicide. The priest declines to be
IL Eterviewed.
