The citizens OF this city held "a mass

would take all the piping and wiring
Of the city plant and such of their APP

the Clarkite a "hunch' that something
was up, but it could not be located. Al
though the meeting was held not far
from the little brick church on Park

who are wearing a troubled look, but

LAST NIGHT ON r

After s O'clock last evening the county
jail and court house We're somewhat
quiet, but prior to that hour there was
more or less excitement and b
Many persons called to see Lucey before
S o'clock. Among them was a man and
woman. The latter appeared to be
greatly affected after her talk with
Lucey, and when the couple had gone
Lucey remarked that she was the only
relative he a in Butte. The parting
between the two is described as having
history of the case. When the woman
reached the corridor of the Jail on her
way out she was OF the verge of total
collapse, but her companion supported
her.
About 10 o'clock Under Sheriff Murphy
gave the jailer the new ~clothings which
Lucey had on when executed.
At 1890 o'clock {. F. Kelly, chief dep
uty to the county attorney, called ON
Lucey and had a general tall with him,
the conversation lasting about half an
hour. Mrs. Regain, mother of the sheriff;
Miss Nellie Regain, her daughter, and
Miss O'Neill of Anaconda also visited the
condemned man. Lucey regarded Mrs.
Regain as one of the few persons who
had sincere sympathy for him..
Shortly before II O'Clock Lucey knelt
and prayed beside his cot. At 11:4O Lucey
drank a glass of beer, provided by Night
Jailer Walsh. saying as he swallowed
the liquor that he could not drink any
more after II o'clock. Then he laid down
on his couch, opened a prayer-book and
began to read. He kept this up until
1915 n then fell asleep. About 2
o'clock he mumbled a few unintelligible
words, but did not awaken.

called and later on three other clergymen
called and remained with him to the last.
During their stay Lucey attended con-
fession and had mass said for him. At
. O'Clock a reakfas consisting of toast
and fish was served him, but he ate
s~paringly. Before breakfast he took a
small drink of whisky and afterwards
called for a glass of water. The guard.
however, told him the water was bad and
gave him a glass of beer, which he drank
With the consent of the. clergymen.
The execution was witnessed by crowd
of eager. excited, morbid spectators,
crowding roofs. lined up in a solid mass
on the commanding Gagnon dump,
swinging on telegraph and electric light
poles, craning their necks from upper
windows, scrambling like monkeys from
one point OF advantage to another. Upon
the dump, where the GROVE was thickest.
they threw rocks and obscene ribald
jokes and curses at those on the roofs
who INSTRUCTED. the view. There We're
few women in the crowd. more little girls,
and many boys who had doubtless ran
away from school to attend the execu-
ton. 1t was as much of a public celehra-
ton as a circus parade.
AS the hour of eleven passed by a few
minutes the crowd, which had been very
great, grew more boisterous, and an
died rough jokes and jests without num-
Der. When the prisoner finally came out
the favored few who could see gave the
news to the crowd, who commented very
little on what was going on, anxious
only to see for themselves. AS the drop
was sprung, and the body hung in the
death throes, some one cried: Good
bye. you old - - which was
accepted as final, and the crowd began
to climb down from roofs. and roll down
the Gagnon dump, raising a cloud of
dust that hid the last Of the grewsome
sight from their view.
The crowd began to gather on the
street in front of the court house and at
every available point of vantage as early
as s o'clock, three hours before the exc.
cution.
If any one argument more than an
other could emphasize the ~advisability
of a strictly private execution, or of some
substitute for capital punishment which
would remove the sensational element it
would be the sight of the gaping, NOR
bid crowd and the undoubted effect
which such publicity must ave on the
mind of the people, especially the young.
