merly chief of police at Muskegon,
Mich. and John Druggan, both convicted
murderers, were hanged on the same scaf-
fold in the county Jail this afternoon. Some
time before the hanging Jacks sent the fol-
lowing letter to the jailer:
Mr.. Whitman. My Dear Sir:-Please do
not let any of the clergy in to see me. If
T. an innocent man. be hanged to-day, with
out the right to have the highest court in
the land pass upon my case, which is all
prepared, at great expense to myself and
labor to my friends-if l am refused this
right which every man is entitled to, there
certainly can be no God above us, and in
that case the clergy can do no good. So
please do not allow any to see me. Yours,
GEORGE II. JACKS"
This request was complied with.
Druggan was brought in first. The trap
was sprung and in seventeen minutes he
was pronounced dead. His body was then
cut down, the trap replaced and Jacks was
brought in. In fourteen minutes his heart

Just before going to the scaffold, Jacks,
Notwithstanding his remarkable letter, con-
the way to the scaffold Jacks repeated
aloud after the priest the prayers which
the priest voiced. Jacks was very much
agitated. Druggan, who consented g day
or two ago to accept an offer of priestly
service, was comparatively composed. IN
like Jacks. he did not pray. aloud, con-
tenting himself with fervently kissing a
crucifix at the last moment held to his
lips.
"Oh Lord. have mercy on my soul,'' were
the last words of Jacks.

Andrew ]. McGhee, an aged collector and
solicitor whom Jacks, assisted by William
