HANGED FOR MURDER.
A Man Pays the Death Penalty for
killing n Woman.

Washington, June 29.-Benjamin
Hill Smell, Al years old, formerly a
clerk in the pension office, was hanged
at the District Jail about moor today
for the murder of Lizzie Weisenberger,
with whom he was infatuated. Smell
was the largest man ever executed
here. When he was received at the
jail August eth last he weighed 296
pounds and measured 6 feet 8 inches in
height. When led to the scaffold today
his weight was 237 pounds.
Smell had maintained from the first
that he had no recollection of his crime
and his actions during imprisonment
tended to bear out h theory of his
lawyers that he was insane. Physi-
clans and experts who examined him
however, pronounced him sane. His
death was instantaneous. Among
those who witnessed the hanging was
the father of the murdered girl.
Smell killed his victim August 9Th
last by cutting her throat with a razor.
A strong effort was mad to have the
president commute the sentence TO i'm
prisonment for life, but he refused 10
do so. Smell came here from Georgia,
where his aged parents now reside.
