DIED WITHOUT A STRUGGLE.
He Hoped for Clemency Until the
Last Moment.
STORY OF HIS CoWARDLY CRIME.
The Final and Unsuccessful Attempt
to Induce the Governor to
Interfere.

FRESNO. Oct 27.-There was a busy
time at the Jail this m orniDg. Many anx-
ious spectators were seen hanging around
the Jail long before 9 o'clock. and the Jail
off GERS were besieged by numerous appli-
cants for admission to the execution. DR..
Vincent passed the night somewhat rest
lessly, but partook of hearty breakfast at
9 o'clock and remarked. "Who wouldn't
be hanged after having such good break
fast?''
The condemned man still seemed to en-
tertain hope that Governor Markham
would grant him q commutaton of sem
tence until the last moment Promptly at
II o'clock the doors OF the inclosure were
thrown open and the invited persons were
permitted to enter. 1t was but few min
utes till the space seemed entirely occu-
pied, but still they came croWding in.
Vincent appeared on the scaffold at
II :58 and was piDioned by Deputy Tim
Minis. When asked what he wished to say
he responded by thanking the Sheriff and
his deputies for their kind treatment
toward him. He further said: "To my
friends, God bless you. To my enemies,
God forgive you."
The moose and black cap were then ad-
iusted and after short prayer by Pastor
Collins of the Congregational Church the
drop fell az exactly II o'clock. The victim
never moved or quivered after the drop
fell and at II :09R his pulse ceased to beat,
and he was publicly announced dead by
DR.. Maupin at 1913. At 1915 the body
was taken down and placed in coffin By
Hall & Witten, undertakers of this city.
The black cap and rope were both in
closed in the coffin.
About 900 people witnessed the execu-
ton. Vincent ascended the gallows smok-
ing cigar, which he kept till just before
the drop fell. Some people who were not
invited to attend were so anxious to see
the execution that they took advantage of
the tree-tops adjacent to the inclosure,
and some witnessed it from the top of
the courthouse, which overlooks the jail
yard.
The scaffold had already been used for
five persons, three of whom had murdered
women. and one. an Englishman, who had
murdered his wife in Los Angeles.

DR.. VINCENT'S CRIME.
His CrueIties CuIminate in His Wife's
Murder.


The crime for which Vincent to-day paid
the death penalty was one of the most
shocking ever committed in this section
and has but few parallels in the annals of
crime Not content with torturing to mad
ness the chosen companion of his bosom
by life Of debauchery and extreme bru-
tality toward her, and stung by the dis
grace of being cast out of his home for his
unworthiness, he deliberately and cow
ardly murdered the woman whom he a
few short years before had sworn to love
and protect. The boldness with which
this murderer executed his terrible deed
has made him the subject of much COM
ment.
On a bright afternoon. December 1S,
1890, armed with two small walls, one con-
tanning prussic acid and the other water,
and with a revolver in his pocket, Vincent
rode in a hack to the house which had
been closed against him. On his arrival
there he demanded an interview with his
wife which was granted Upon her re-
fusal to withdraw complaint she had
filed against him for divorce, he handed
her the vial containing the prussic acid,
commanding her TO drink its contents. stat
ing that he would drink the contents Of
the other.

quick succession, killing her almost in
stantly. An officer was near at the time
and the murderer was arrested while still

pairing her for delivery to her new mas

she bad been turned over to her purchasers,
who did not appear at the wharf, but sent
their orders to the captain. In accordance
with these instructions the third officer, one
qaartermaster and three sailors were dis
charged. The rest were retained until
to-day in order that they might clean out
the ship. The captain. first and second
officers. the other two quartermasters and
soon as this work ls done.
The purchase of Ell Rio makes it practi-
.carly certain that PeixOto is the purchaser
of FL Cid and of the arms contracted for
recently. Admiral de MelIo could not buy
ships in this way with the least hope of
being able to use them, although he might
obtain arms ~ some secret manner. AS a
matter Of course zone of the firms here
connected with the matter will say any,
thing about it. and although there is no
doubt that Flint & Co. are the purchasing
agents the firm refuses to acknowledge it.
The arms contracted for consist of large
quantities Of small arms and ammunition
and include two 55-pounders, one 33-
paunder, twenty 6-pounders, two IA
Founders. twenty 1-pounders and eighteen
.toFpedO-tubes, together with 100 rounds of
ammunition for the big guns and 1910 for
tbs.amall ones and number of torpedoes
There are guns enough in the list to arm
both :El Cid and Ell Rio. None of them
is especially heavy. but this is probably

to obtain, while rapid-fre and revolving
guns are not at all scarce. What action

Ell Rio was built at Newport News a lit

RoyaIistS Believe That Is the Pur-

HONOLULU, II. l., Oct. 19.-Consul-Gen-
eral Mills arrived by the steamer Oceanic.
The natives received him with enthusiasm,
but Americans and foreigners, outside of
the royalists, met him with the ordinary
civilities given foreign officials. Shortly
after his arrival rumOrs of all sorts were
afioat concerning Mills attitude toward
the royaliStS. One was that he had de-
clared ''the annexationists are not in il, as
the United States has determined to re-
store the Queen" These rumors were
brought to Mr.. Mills attention few hours
before the Monowai sailed, and he assured
the representative of the Associated Press
such rumors were entirely without foun-
dation.
The Provisional Government does not
intend to recede from Its present position
of control of the islands. A bill adding a
new member to the Cabinet will be intro
duced sooD, and will undoubtedly pass.
Its object will be to separate the offices of
President and Minister of Foreign Affairs.
thus giving the President the entire direc-
tion and supervision Of the executive of the
Government.
The financial condition of the country is
unprecedented. The surplus now am cunts
TO over S161,00 and statement submitted
by the Minister Of Finance shows that the
public debt has only increased S3374 so
since the Provisional Government came
into power. Such a small increase in the
same period has never before been known
since the Kalakaua monarchy came into
power.
Your correspondent is enabled to state
positively that the Governments secret
service is in possession of the fact that the
ex-Queen is having thirty-eight uniforms
made preparatory to her restoration, in
which she firmly believes. The uniforms
are said to be for retainers who are to
participate in proper form in regal state
when the United States accomplishes her
restoration. The Marshal is in possession
of all the facts concerning the prepara-
tions. but was very guarded in his replies
when questioned. However, he admitted
the uniforms and their purpose.
The Government announces it's intention
to push the settlement of the crown lands
and the internal improvement of the
country as rapidly as the means at its
disposal will allow.

The Doom of the Annexation Plot.

The withdrawal of the Hawaiian
treaty seals its doom, The sober
second thought will kill it. 1t can
not stand investigation, and we shall
be just little surprised if its origi-
majors ever permit it to be submit
ted to searching ventilation on the
spot where it was Matched. 1t would
be dropped in preference to that
being permitted. When the glamour
of the hour in favor of the acquisi-
ton of territory, lazaretto though
it be, has passed away, and sober
facts become of some account, there
will be an awakening to the truth
that the scheme for the annexation
of these distant islands never had
any merit. They contain nothing
that we had not better be without.
We certainly do not want their
charnel-house at Molokai, nor their
thousands of lepers still at large.
Neither the expense, nor the respon-
sibility of acting as nursing-mother
to decaying and doomed race, is to
be hankered after by people with
delicate stomachs; especially as that
race desires nothing SO much as to
do its own nursing and to be left
alone to do it. For mercy's sake, and
in the name of real philanthropy,
they should be permitted to have
their way. Let us do unto them as
we would have others do unto us,
under like circumstances. We do
not want the labor contracts of the
islands, nor do we want the in
dustry that would perish if it
we're not for such contracts. We
do not want to almost double
CALIFORNIA; Chinese hordes; for that
is what we should do if we took in
Hawaii. 1t is idle to say that we
could by law exclude them. They
would be residents of a portion Of
the United States, and our Supreme
Court would have to hold that they
could not be denied the right to visit
other portions at their pleasure.
That is the express guarantee of the
treaty with China that no er post .facto
law can abrogate. We do not want
to pay the handful of American,
English, and German planters in the
islands, some ten or twelve millions
of dollars year for the privilege of
paying the full market rates for their
sugar. Nor do we want to give them
an interest in corrupting our politics
to save their bounty. We do not, or
at least, ought not to want to give
the go-by to the Monroe doctrine, OF
to laugh at the advice of George
Washington, or to reverse the poll.
