ington in June, 1898.
Washington. Dec. 8.-George w. Horton
was hanged in the District Jail to-day, for
the murder of Jane Nicholson. The drop
fell at 1912 o clock.
Horizons crime was the killing of Mrs.
Jane Nicholson, and was one of the most
cold blooded murders ever committed in
the district. Horton was an ex-member
of the police force in the district, and Mrs
Nicholson was a divorced woman. On the
evening of June 49, 1898, he met the woman
in Armory Park, and in the conversation
which ensued she announced her deter
mination to break off the relations which
existed between them. As she arose from
the bench to leave him, he drew a pock-
ct knife and slashed her across the throat.
His defense was insanity.
After his conviction repeated attempts
were made to secure executive clemency.
The President, however, declined to inter-
fere with the sentence. Horton was q
married man.
