A JOURNEY TO THH GALLOWS
The Cummings Boys Stop Over on the Way
tn San Quentin


Sheriff Johnson of Riverside county,
accompanied by Deputy Dixon, passed
through the city yesterday, having in
charge the two Cummings boys, John
and Caesar, whom he is taking back to
San Quentin to be hanged on September
25th for the murder of r.. c. Narramore;
and also Charles Marshall, convicted of
the murder of Frank Hamilton at San
Jacinto. April 8, 1894, who goes to prison
for sixty years.
The trio of murderers We're placed in
the city Jail for safe keeping between
trains and at o'clock in the afternoon
were taken on up north to their fate.
The Cummings boys were brought down
last Monday from San Quentin to River
side to be re-sentenced to death, the
supreme court having affirmed the judg
ment of the superior court on their ap-
peal.
While eating dinner in the Jail the
Cummings boys talked freely of their
crime and told what they claimed was
the true story of it to Jailor Richardson
and Detective Miles Bowler The details
of the murder of Narramore are we'll
known and it will suffice to say that the
boys acknowledged that as times were
hard and the ranch not paying they con-
cocted the scheme to pay the rent to
Narramore and then rob him Of it. The
Mexican VINO turned states evidence,
by means of which they were convicted,
was in the plot and it was he, they say,
who really killed the old man. III
The Mexican and Caesar were to mark
and enter the cabin, holding up John and
Naramore. This they did, but the Mex
lean had a club, and when Naramore
showed fight hit him over the arm with
1t, then when he was on the floor hit him
in the head. John and Naramore were
then bound and gagged and left to be
discovered. II was not their intention
to kill Naramore, and neither Of the
brothers struck blow, which was all
done by the man who has escaped, they
say.
Before the time for starting to the
train arrived there was an affecting scene
in the receiving hospital at the jail The
three sisters and younger brother, to-
gether with their aunts. had come to
say last good bye to John and Caesar,
and did so One of the ladies offered pray
er, intercedirg for the old father who lies
at home paralyzed. When she had fin
ished there was not dry eye, even the
officers being deeply moved. The sisters
kissed their brothers good bye-a last
farewell was said and, shackled to-
gether the young men departed on their
journey to the gallows.
