Swung From The SGafOld.


WASHINGTON Pa.), Feb 26.-The execu-
tlon OF William West, negro, in the Jail
yard at this place to-day for the murder of
three members Of the Crouch family was an
awful affair. This morning the condemned
man, who had secured in some manner a
piece of scrap iron, Ilunged it several times
into his throat. When found he was uncon-
scious from loss of blood. After several
hours work, the doctors succeeded in rous-
ing him from a comatose condition. Out
side the Jail all was excitement, as many
negroes were there who fully believed West
innocent Weak as he was, he made des-
perate fight when the Sheriff's party entered
the CELL Finally it was decided to admin
lister ether. Even then he struggled so fear
fully that they finally determined to
strap him to board. An ugly
fight followed the attempt to bind him
and more opiates were administered until
he was finally carried out helpless and half
unconscious to the gallows. When the
trap was finally sprung the combined weight
of the plank and the man was too much for
the rope and it broke, hurling West to the
ground amid groan from the crowd. West
was awakened from his stupor by the shock.
and realizing what had happened, struggled
fearfully to free himself. The groaning
writhing man was picked up by the death
watch and carried back to the gallows and
again launched into space. The fall this
time widened the gashes in his throat and
blood streamed in great jets from his neck.
His neck was not broken and he was al
lowed to hang thirty minutes before he was
cut down.
