A NOVEL HANGING.
The Doomed Man Releases Water
Which Sets off the Trap.

St. Louis Republic.
CANON CITY, Idaho, Sept. o.
William Davis was hanged in the
state prison here tonight. All
necessary preparations had been
carefully made and the witnesses
who had been invited to see the
execution were on hand. All the
employees in and about the prison
were bound to the strictest secrecy,
and not a word could be learned
about the condition of the prisoner
and the time. The machine which
carried out the mandates of the
court was given trial this morn
ing and found to be in fine condi.
ton. The hanging apparatus is
very unique, being the invention of
Deputy Warden Dudley, and hav-
ing been tried in only one instance
previous to this. The instrument
as descibed in brief is as follows:
In the upper part of square frame
made CT four uprights bucket Of
water is set, the contents of which,
when ready for operation: weighs
900 pounds. They reach beneath the
bucket; and connected with it by a
rubber hose with a valve is another
bucket, and connected to the upper
bucket by a lever is a 400-pound
iron tube, which with an iron rod
is kept in place at six feet. The
weight of $50 pounds, which, when
the water is drawn from the bucket
is allowed to descend, jerks the
condemned man off his feet about
three feet in the air.
From this large weight a rope
runs through two pulleys over
partition and then down into the
execution room, where it hangs
directly over a platform three feet
square, on which the condemned
stands. Everything being in read
mess, Davis was brought in and
the moose and black cap were
placed in position. After he had
been given an opportunity to say
good bye to those around him he
was told to step on tie small plat.
o'm. His weight on the platform
opened the faucet in the upper
bucket, and the W ter flowed into
the bucket beneath. This allowed
the we t to drop. and Davis was
] rked into the air. His neck was
broken and h" WIS Pronounced
dead in seven minu es. The crime
for which Davis VS. banged was
the killing Of his mother and her

She had put the vtolin under her chin.
Yes! It was she. The dream of tho
artist soul stood before him, fairer than
he had imagined. She was dressed very
simply in gown Of white satin, with q
large sash Of white silk ut her slender
waist.
He felt thrill of delight! She seemed
nearer to him than ever. The purpose
which he had sworn in the Wagner car,
when it seemed SO wild and impossible
to carry ont. now seemed to the excited
young man very easy matter.
He felt that her position as public or
professional performer argued some diff
Guilty in her family, and he was not slow
to think that in this way the beautiful
gi:l had sought to escape from the hate
full DR.. Watson.
The next moment he was entranced,
A strain of music of the most delicious
sweetness streamed from her bow as she
lightly swept it over the nut brown in
strument which she held SO caressingly.
Henshall was passionately fond of
music. He had heard her wonderful
playing in the car. and it had held him
IN tarall; but that could not be compared
to this.
Edna was inspired by the occasion to
her best effort. In the inspiration of the
moment che forgot all but her art. The
dainty melody Of the great German
aoated on the mir like q lullaby sung by
one spirit to another.
