was hanged. and did not awaken until
o'clock. Before going to bed he had
q long talk with the Waterman, and to
him as well as the Rev. George Gonga-
ware, he made complete confession Of
his crime. He said he killed Loker for
his money. He related how he had
planned the murder, and how he. had
carried into effect his plans.
When Deputy Johns was about to
draw the black cap over Morris face
he said he would like to speak. He
then addressed himself to the sheriff
and said: Il wish to thank you for
your sympathy. bid you all good-by.
I know I am going to meet my God"
The cap was then adjusted, and be-
fore the people knew what had been
done Sheriff Chalfant had sprung the
trap and the body of Frank Morris
shot downward and his neck was bro
ken.
The body of Morris was placed where
it could be seen, and thousands
looked upon the face of the man who
had been rendered incapable of she'd
ding more blood. About 300 people
witnessed the execution.
The remains were taken to his old
home in the evening, and were in
tered in the family graveyard by his
friends. His father was with him to
the last and admonished him to pre-
pare to meet his God. The mother
died several years ago, and Morris
stated that he was glad that she did

the murder of old Es-c;5S Loker, was
executed at the Uniontowa Jail the 9TH
er day.
The crime for which Morris hanged
was committed in Bullskin Township,
Fayette County, Pa, just two years
ago. Young Morris was frequent Wis
4t0r at the home of Mr.. Bernard Loker,
an inoffensive old German, who came
to the United States a few years ago,
aid settled near the home Of the father
OF Frank Morris. The old man was
Industrious, and as an employe at the
coke works he accumulated money
enough to buy little home. He made
the purchase from the father of Nor
rfs, and when young Morris saw Mr..
Loker pay the purchase money from
his little store of hard earnings, he
concluded that the old man had an un-
limited amount of money, and he deter
mined to rob him. He had been read
ing the low, criminal class of Jesse
James literature, until his mind had
become completely demoralized. and at
nineteen, when he committed the MUIR
der, he was a hardened criminal He
told some of his companions that he
would like to have Barney" Loker's
money, and that he intended to get two
revolvers and make his living in that
way. He cultivated the friendship of
Mr.. and Mrs. Loker, and spent much
time at their home. They treated him
very kindly and welcomed him to their
humble home. One day in September,
1894, he went to their house and car
ried with him shotgun and revolver.
He found the old folks busy at work on
cellar wall under their house. He re-
manned for some time talking to them,
and when Mrs. Loker had gone out to
get kindling wood he shot Bernard
,Loker. She heard the shots and re-
turned in few moments and asked
what caused the shooting. He then
shot her twice, the bullets entering her
head and neck, as in her husbands
case. After shooting and, as he sup
posed, killing them. he hunted for the
money and in his search tore every
thing to pieces, but found only $50 and
some jewelry, all of which he took. She
finally regained consciousness and
crawled to the cellar, where she found
her husband lying on the ground with
a bullet hole in his head and the blood
running out of the wound She then
crawled to the home of Abe Morris,
neighbor, and brother of the murderer,
where she related what had occurred.
Several persons went to the Loker
house and found Mr.. Loker dying. Mrs.
LOker lay near deaths door for long
time, but finally recovered, and her tes-
timony was chiefly instrumental in
Morris conviction, and she was present
at his execution.
Morris was tried at December court,
1894, before Judge Ewing, and was
found guilty. His counsel took the plea
of insanity, but it was established
clearly that he was not insane, but
that his greatest desire was to kill and
rob people. and that his craving for
crime was fed on dime novels and
other low class, yellow backed litera-
ture. His attorneys exhausted the tech
nicalities of the law in behalf of their
client, and finally carried it to the Board
Of Pardons, and respite was granted
until they could send an insanity ex-
pert to Uniontown. This was done, and
his report was that Norris was sane
