OWENS PAYS the PENALTY.
HANGED AT SAN QUENTIN FOR
MURDER OF HIS WIFE.
Death Almost Instantaneous, His
Neck Being Completely
Broken i'm the Fall.

SAN QUENTIN PRISON, April 21.-
The execution this morning of George
Z. owens, who murdered his wife and
daughter, was remarkable in two re-
spects The condemned man made a
pathetic speech from the scaffold. and
died so instantaneously upon the drop

who attends every hanging, pronounced
Owens case the most extraordinary liz
his experience.
Owens, who was recently baptized in
the Catholic faith, was attended on
the gallows by Father Lagan .,f san
Rafael Around his neck the man who
was about to die wore a brown soap
ular given him by the priest. The tug
OF the rope on his throat dislodyed the
scapular and exposed it to view.
Supported on either side by guards.
the gray haired prisoner mounted the
thirteen steps to the scaffold Although
nervous, he controlled himself and was
not afraid. Father Lagan re1ueste5 4
attention to what the condemned man
rad to say. Then, standing on the trap,
with the rope around his neck, Owens
said in a clear voice and III a tone
trembling with emotion:
Gentlemen, 1 am about to depart
for my everlasting home 1 killed my
wife, the woman whom I loved ana
have rever ceased to love. 1 go to the
grave with that love strong in nv
heart. / killed the only woman .oved.

Il Was then 1O:34115 O'clock. DR.. Lawlor,
states that he detected absolutely no
respiration in the suspended body. and
AFTER the first half of the third minute
the pulses were quiet. There was no
muscular action at the moment When
the neck was broken nor afterward.
Not even finger twitched. The physi-
cian regards that fact as being most
remarkable, but is not of the opinion
that Owens died during the drop. The
neck OF the man was broken completely,
although the drop was only five feet
four inches.
George c. Owens was convicted Of
having murdered his wife at Modesto IN
december, 1897. AS result of much
i,ifelicity Mrs. Owens had sued f1er hus-
hand for divorce, and had gone to live
with ner daughter, Mrs. Tiednann.
December 13, 1897, Owens went to Mrs.
Tiedmanns house and begged her 10

he drew a revolver and shot her TO

away, and he then turned the revolver

CHEERFUL MINING OUTLOOK.

The mining conditions of Colo
RADIO were never in our history so
favorable as they are today, says
the Denver Post. This applies
not alone to the great element of
production, for the state produces
one third of all the gold mined in
the country, but to the cheerful
fact that the benefit will accrue to
very much larger number of peo-
pie than ever before. To have n
few enormous producers in the
state and to have them owned by
a few people, all of whom live
elsewhere in this country or
in some other country, is theo-
retica!ly matter of pride, but the
resulting benefit to the state at
large is small. In Colorado at the
present time there are large mines
and small, mines owned by a few
big corporations and mines owned
by few practical people who
themselves do most of the work
But under the cooperative system
of home pools and the leasing sys-
TEN, hundreds of people now en-
JOY revenues from mines who never
got cent from them before.
While the benefits of mining
are becoming more widely scattered
the industry itself is being vastly
extended. Cripple Creek, as an
example, has grown beyond the
widest calculations and in the
judgment of conservative men is
still at the beginning of its real
career. Under such circumstances
as these people of Colorado have
reason to be deeply gratified, and
may cheerfully look forward to the
expansion of an industry which
will scatter its benefits SO widely
that every resident of the state
will feel its stimulus, either directly
or indirectly.
