VIENNA. March Is. The scenes IT.
tending the execution of Schneider, the
cowardlY murderer Of servant girls,
were revolving in the extreme All the
approaches TO the building were strongly
guarded. and the court yards were filled
with military. A small court yard in
the center Of the law courts had been
selected as the place Of execution. The
gallows, upon which executions take
place in other countries. was conspic-
nous by its absence. In its stead broad
white stake was firmly imbedded in the
ground in an angle of the court. The
stake was surmounted by a large spike.
A detachment of military formed cor
don q short distance from the stake
Presently Seyfried, the executioner.
with his assistants, entered the court
yard. He was followed by the judges
before whom Schneider and his wife
had been tried and i number Of the
highest officials. Then came Schneider,
his strong frame trembling and his face
ghastly pale. His features had lost
their look of repulsiye ferocity. and by
his every manner the man who straH-
gled with his strong hands weak and de-
fenseless girls showed that his brutal
nature was subdued, and that he wits in
an agony of fear at the fate awaiting
him.
When thecondemned man had reached
a point in front Of the stake the execu-
TONER stepped up 10 him and dexterously
pinioned his hands. The executioner's
assistants, who We're horse slaughterers,
then seized Schneider and placed him
directly in front Of the stake. The con-
demned man was lifted from the ground,
and a fearful scene followed.
Schneider Immediately kicked his legs
in every direction, and tried frantically
to escape from the grasp Of the brawny
men who held him. But his efforts
were useless, and then he shrieked, ''Oh,
no; in Gods name; Ill say anything.
This scene did not last long, however.
for Seyfried rushed up set Of steps
that stood behind the stake and threw
the free end of the silken loop which
was attached to the stake around
Schneider's throat. No black cap was
used, the executioner making his hands
do duty IN ITS stead.
As the moose dropped around
Schneider's neck the two horse slaugh-
terers dropped him. Seyfried pressed
his left hand heavily over the jaw and
mouth of his victim, while his right
hand covered the forehead and eyes.
At the same time the assistants grasped
the hanging man by his arms and legs
and pulled downward with all their
strength.
Held in this position Schneider was
unable to move. and he was strangled
to death. The doctors in attendance
say that he was dead in four minutes.
The face of the dying man could be
seen between the fingers Of the execu.
toner, and every change in the color Of
the flesh was discernable. 1t was hor.
rible sight, and many of the spectators
were compelled to turn away.
