4 SigkpnIng Execution.

BERLIN, March i.--Dctails Of IA most
horrible story were received in thus city
today. \ man named Ilagcman in
Slade. a small village in the province OF
Hanover was convicted on the charge OF
murder and was sentenced TO be put to
death by the guillotine. To-day was the
date set for his execution and all the
preparations being completed the con
demned man was lcl out securely bond
and the eyccutioncr placed him on the
board beneath the sharp steel blade.
The knife was released ana fell on the
neck Of the prostrat" criminal. To the
horror Of the spectators, however, the
knife failed to sever the head from the
trunk and the neck Of the murderer was
terribly mutilatci. The aWfulncss Of
the scene was increased when the exc
cutioner raised the knife of the guillo-
tine and made a horrible attempt to
wrench off the head Of the unfortunate
man with his hands while the blood
gushcd in torrents from the gaping
wounds. But in spite of all his tugging
and twisting at the victims half-scvcred
mead he failed to tear it of and he
again placed the body in position
under the gullotinc and tried second
time to bchead TIE man by means of the
knife. Again did the blade descend on
the neck Of the poor wretch and again
did it fail successfully to perform the
work and only left the remains in "a more
mutlatcd condition tn II before. The
exccutioncr then decided 10 abandon
this means Of dccapitatmg the man and
tried another method to finish his ghast
iy work lie procured sharp knife and
hacked and sashed at the back Of the
victims neck, at the same time fastening
mis- fingers IN the mans blood soaked
hair and pulling the head with much
force. At length. after chopping oil
most of the flesh which held the head to
the body, the eXecutioncr succeeded in
tearing the head away.
