At 1901 the body of Rosenwig
was cut down and conveyed into the
Jail and Immediately after, that OF
Blanks. There the bodies were
viewed by the jury, as required by
law, and examined by the ply sicians,
who pronounced both necks as being
broken, after which the bodies were
taken in charge by funeral director
Streeter who prepared them for
burial. The remains we're taken to
Wilkes Barre on the $3.50 p. m. train
yesterday afternoon by the COM
mittee sent here to receive them,
and will be buried in the Hebrew
cemetery in that place.
Blank and Rosenwig are said to
be the first Jews ever hung for
murder in this country. A Jew who
was convicted and sentenced in New
York, few years ago, committed
suicide before the date set for his
execution, and one who was hung in
San Francisco was said to have
turned Protestant and been baptized
before he was executed.
A Jewish Rabbi, Adolph Radin, a
travelling missionary from New York,
visited the prisoners in the jail on
Tuesday afternoon last, but what
occurred while he was there we have
been unable to learn. Whatever il
was it evidently did not have very
soothing effect on them as we heard
it remarked by one who knew that
they cursed and swore and behaved
very badly that evening.
Rosenwig and Blank were both
Russian Jews about % years of age.
Rosenwig had had no communica-
ton with his people in Russia and
did not want them to know any
thing about the manner OF his death.
Both claimed to be married, though
Rosenwig said his wife was dead.
Blank had had letters written to his
wife and received letters from her,
but he was careful not to inform her
that he was condemned to die fol
murder. About week ago he had a
letter written to her saying he was
sick in a hospital and had but a few
days to live and asked her to marry
his younger brother.
1t may never be known which one
fired the shots that killed Jacob
Marks. Both admitted being pres

in readiness for the final march to
the gallows, which took place in a
few minutes. Blank at this time
was very nervous and paced the cell
with his hands clenched as if in the
attitude of prayer. Rosenwig stood

his elbow against the wall gazing

According to their keepers their
last night on earth was not very
eventful one. They both retired
about one o'clock and arose about
five. Rosenwig ate quite a hearty
breakfast, but Blank would not eat
much. They were both given a
bath and Rosenwig was shaved by
VIM. Campbell, the barber, but
