JIM WOODS HANGED AT NELSON.
Beside an Added PaIIor Was as Calm
as Usual.

Nelson, b. c., Aug. 26.-James Woods,
convicted of the murder of Samuel Woods
last October, paid the penalty of his
crime at o'clock yesterday morning,
The execution took place in the provin-
cial Jail yard the official hangman
from Calgary springing the trap. The
drop was seven feet, three inches. The
enclosure was filled with officials and
about 40 spectators. Woods was self
contained until the last moment, but
besides an added pallor was as calm rs
usual. When asked if he had anything
to say he replied: NO, | am dead quits
with the world. | have nothing TO say
He shook hands with the officials, and
one minute after he assembled the scat
fold the trap was sprung. Both the neck
and the wind pipe were broken, and
the pulse stopped beating nine minutes
afterwards. The body was cut down
at S:30, One hour after being cut down
the remains of the deceased were buried
in the Jail yard, and large quantity of
quicklime sprinkled around them to aid
in decomposition. This is usual in British
territory and is certainly effective.
