A REVOLVING EXECUTION.
George ii. Painter Hanged Up Twice Be-
cause the Rome Hroka.


CHICAGO, Jan. 27 - The hanging of
George III. Painter for the murder of Alice
@. Martin, his mistress, was revolving in
the extreme. Painter smoked cigar on
his way to the scatfold, and tried to retain
his composure. After prayer by Rev Mr.
Moerdyke Painter stepped forward and in
faltering voice said
"Gentlemen, see some friends here. o
God, forgive theml No friend of mine
would come and see me die. 1t hurts me
Gentlemen-if you are gentlemen-there
are few gentlemen that would look at an
execution-few. The brotherhood of hu:
manity has taught lots of men better
than this. There was time when, in In
dia, men sought death because through
belief that it was an advance to their
future state. Today I fear death; | do
not want to die. Listen-listen TO this: If
killed Alice Martin, my wife, If killed
Alice Martin. the woman / loved, | pray
this minute, my last minute on earth,
that the eternal God will take me and
put me in eternal hell; that He will keep
me in this eternnlly. II there is one man
in this audience that is an American-an
American citizen, on your SOUL say on
your soul--see that the murderer of A lice
Martin is found.
1Heu tne rope one Inat nhu been used
in the hanging of the anarchists, was
placed about his neck The trap was
sprung and Painters body fell to the
floor, the rope having broken. The vio-
tim of the blunder was picked up limp,
another rope was secured and he was
hanged a second time The scene was a
trying one to the people who were pres
ent TO witness the vindication of the law
The Jail physician said the second hang
Ing was unnecessary, as Painters neck
was broken when he first dropped.
