verse, In his official capacity. has wit

rs could have been expected. He
believed that Haliinger felt no pain
after the drop fell, and he
had made the one great convulsive
movement. The gurgling sound which
the slipping Of the moose permitted as the
dying man gasped for breath was purely
mechanical and indicated no pain, and
that the subsequent twitching of the
muscles also denoted q purely mecha nj
cal operation.
VAN HIsE SATISFIED.
Van Hise, as soon as Hallinger was
apparently dead. hurried among the wit
nesses and shook hands with those who
permitted him. He was in ecstacy over
his. work and expressed himself SO in
such 6n effusive manner that the horror
OF the death scene was nothing
compared with the repugnance the wit
nesses felt at this exhibition. That the
fellow is utterly devoid of every symptom
of feeling was painfully manifested by
him. When l asked him how he liked
the result of his work, he replied:-
Il never saw a better job. 1t was q
great success. Everything went Of first

thirty-eighth person Van Hise has sent

Doctors Converse, Varick and Nevin
made the post mortem examination
They pronounced Hallinger's death to be
the result of strsngulation. His neck,
when examined, showed that 1t had not
been broken or dislocated.
Prosecutor Winfield was seen in his
office after the execution was over. I
asked him what he had to say about it.
