and she was stiIl.

HANGED.

ST. LOUIS. Jan. l2.-Sam Welsor spent
last night in eating oysters, drinking beer
and talking with the two deputy sheriffs
who formed the death watch. He was es-
corted to the scaffold at 8 o'clock When
asked if he had anything to say he simply
replied, without tremor, go ahead"
The drop fell at S:03 o'clock. His neck
was broken.
Welsor was hanged for the murder of
Clementine Manning. at her room, corner
of Walnut and Tenth streets. He had left
her, going to st. Paul, but learning
through a newspaper item that she had
won prize of 81 500 in lottery, he came
back and demanded the major portion of
her prize, TO be used TO start him in the
saloon business. His demands were re-
fused and ne shot her. On the trial the
defepse of insanity WAS put up. The prin-
cipal evidence of mental weakness was the
fact that Weisor carried in his pocket the
shriveled, mummified finger of dead
negro, with which it was his practice to
stir the frequent glasses of whisky which
he drank.
After the execution an autopsy was per-
formed, five surgeons being in attendance.
The condition of the brain was found to
he such as to lead two OF the surgeons TO
state positively that the man must have
been insane. The Others took neutral
ground.
