DEAD In FORTY.ONE MINUTES.
John Eiscnmingcr, the Third Man Hung
in Greene County, Pays tho Penalty Of
His Crime.

Waynesburg, Pa; June 6.-John
Eisenmnger, the third man to be
hanged in Greene county, was executed
this afternoon. The trap was sprung
at 1.24, and in eleven minutes his pulse
ceased. The doctors pronounced him
dead at fOrty-one minutes from the
time he fell. The hanging was wit
messed by about 800 people, among those
present being Mrs Mccoy, the widow
Of Eisenminger's victim. She called to
see him this afternoon and an affecting
scene followed. She had received the
young mans letter expressing repent
ance and asking her forgiveness, and
she came to tell him that she did for
give him. The morning was spent in
prayer and leave taking. The parting
from his young wife almost unnerved
Eisenminger, and he was terribly weak
after this ordeal. After this his spirit
ual advisers spent several hours with
him, leaving the prisoner much re-
freshed and rather calmly awaiting his
end.
1t was lis o'clock when Eisenminger
marched up the gallows' steps between
Sheriff Kent, and the latter's son. Per-
cy, who acted as deputy. Tears were
rolling down Eisenminger's cheeks and
he was somewhat nervous Rev. Stew
enson, who had baptised him. read the
Scriptures. and there was prayer by
Rev. McKain. Eisenminger repeated
the Lords prayer in, a firm tone, that
a sob now and then broke. When Sher-
iff Kent asked what he had to say, he
replied:
There is nothing else that can say
than that my confession is entirely cor
rect. l wish to state positively that
there was not any one connected with
it but me. l hope you will forgive me-"
The black cap was then adjusted, and
ther Sheriff Kent, with a fervent God
bless you" sprung the trap. Eisen-
minger struggled slightly In a brief
space his body swung limp and motion
less, for his neck was broken. John
Mccoy, brother of the murdered man,
was another who witnessed the execu-
ton. The body was then removed from
the Jail and taken charge of by the
dead mans relatives.
