was executed in Rich county. this State,
at 1924 o'clock this morning, for the

He was pinioned, blind-folded, and seated
on stationary chair, and six deputies

fastened. Every shot pierced the mark and
death was instantaneous.
Coughln was about twenty five years
of age, a native of Pennsylv ania, and came
to this State when quite young. For some
years he was considered a hard character.
In July, 1895, he and another young
man named Fred George, stole a number
of horses and were pursued by officers.
For over a week they eluaed capture
and several times when brought to bay

into the mountains.
They were eventually surrounded In
little cabin, and when called on to sur
render, fired repeatedly, killing the two
officers named, and wounding others be-
fore tie posse retired. Several DAYS
later they were captured 100 miles from
the scene of the killing. Both Were tried
on the capital charge, and Coughlin was
sentenced to death, and George TO a life
term in the penitentiary.
