his daily inspection of Murderer Nor

him what he was doing. He replied
by accusing Morgan Of doing the work.
1t was repaired Immediately. Morgan's
cell was searched, and his clothes
changed, outer and inner complete.
The last of the details Of the hanging

together with clothes, pocket knife and
revolvers, are TO be given to his wife.
There is no disposition of the body
planned; many believe his wife will
take charge Of it. If not the sheriff
will have it buried on his father-in-

lie has occupied the death chamber
since Sunday last and appeared to
await his fate calmly and with courage.
The crime for which Allender paid
the extreme penalty was a most revolt
ing one, prompted by jealousy. He
was infatuated with Miss Wallberga
Fielmer, an intelligent, industrious girl
of irreproachable character, who re-
pulsed him and became betrothed 70
Ninanzi Crossetti, an Italian black
smith, about "a years Of age.
After having repeatedly threatened
the couple Allender met them walking
together along Third street, San Jose,
on the afternoon of Aug. 10, 1893. He
accosted the girl. and as she attempted
to pqss him, Allender drew a revolver
ana shot her in the neck. She fell to
the sidewalk and Allender then fired
again, killing her as she lay at his feet
Crossetti attempted TO arrest and dis
arm the murderer, but Allender turned
his pistol upon him and shot him in the
abdomen, inflicting a fatal wound
Allender then ran away and attempted
to commit suicide, but tainted after
slightly wounding himself, and was ar
rested before he recovered from his
swOOn.
The murderer was carpenter, 90
years of age. When placed on trial AL
lender tried to establish the plea of in
sanity, but was convicted and sentenced
to be hanged. After an unsuccessful
attempt to appeal to the state supreme
court, he was sentenced to be executed
on Sept 2 last, but his attorney appeal
ed to the supreme court of the United
States OH Sept. upon the grounds re-
lied upon by the Durant case, thus stay
ing execution. On Nov. last, how
ever, the supreme court dismissed the
appeal, and six days later Allender was
again sentenced to be hanged.
