WALWlTZ HANGED.
NE Was the Murderer of the State Prison
Keeper.

TRENTON, July 21.-Joseph Wnlwltz
was hanged yesterday for the murder of
Deputy Prison Keeper JamesB. Lippincott.
The drop fell at 0.52. The body shot into
the air and dropped back. There was no
struggle and death resulted quickly.
Just before going to the scaffold Walwitz
made long rambling speech aud repeat
ing his old story that he did not fire the
fatal shot and that Lippincott was shot
by Deputy Keeper Leonard.
Joseph Wapvitz was a worthless and
dangerous member of society, and was
sent to state prison In Trenton to serve a
twenty years sentence for robbery. The
prison was a loosely managed institution.
Walwitz, who is skilled mechanic, laid
a careful plan to escape. He secreted
tools from the prison shops to his cell.
He made himself n coat of armor out OF
soft paper, and club like bass drum
stick ont Of wood and rags Then he
sawed through the bars of his cell. and
two hours after midnight on the morning
of March appeared before Keeper Wal
ters, who had charge of the corridor. He
overpowered Walters and took away his
pistol. Then he hit him with his club and
left him unconscious. The next step to-
ward freedom was to go into the main
hall, into which all the wings open.
Ahefo heePer LlppincoUt anu bepnh5
Keeper Leonard were watching. Wal
witz rang the electric bell and Keeper
Lippincott answered it himself, opening
the heavy old fashioned door to see VIII at
Walters wanted, There stood Walwitx.
with Walters pistol in one hand and the
club in the other.
Now, from this point on the stories con-
hict. Walwitz says that Lippinoott, see-
ing what the matter was, ran out shout
ing for help. AS he ran he half turned
and fired once, the bullet making a wound
over his right eye, from which the blood
began to squirt. He says that this wound
maddened him and he fired once, but. as
he thinks, at random.
At any rate Lippincott had his back full
towards him. Walwitz goes. on to say
that just as Lippincott burst out of the
doors into the main hall two shots sounded
in that hall and Lippincott stumbled for
ward and fell, as II he had been killed.
Deputy Keeper Leonard, who was in the
main hall, says that hs saw Walwitz fire
twice, and that these shots were aimed
at Lippincott, and that after them Lip
pincott fell, and as he fell Walwitz
struck him on the back of the head with
the club.
