DIE ON THE GALLONS
Two Murderers Are Hanged at
Birmingham, Ala.
4 BRIEF STORY OF THEIR CRIMES.
Frank Miller Pays the Penalty for
Killing Policeman, and AIonxo
Williams for Murderinx
Fellow Convict.

Birmingham, Ala, June 39.-Thcre
were two hangings in the Jefferson
county Jail yard here Friday. Frank
Miller, notorious safe robber and
murderer of PeIiceman<J j w. Adams,
was executed at 1856 o'clock, and
Alenzo Williams (colored), murderer
of Bob Callahan (colered), was
hanged at 1855 o'clock. Miller met
death stoically. After he had mount
ed the scaffoldi and viewed the crowd
Of 300 spectators. he asked if anyone
desired to ask. him any questions.
State Solicitor Hefiin mounted the
scaffold steps and urged Miller to
tell the truth. ST am innocent" " he re-
piled, ssand Duncan is innocent, too.
If you hang Duncan you will hang an
innocent man" Duncan'is his alleged
aecomplice, who is serving q life sem
tence.
Miller repeated his prayers after
Father O'Reilly. and just before the
drop fell he tried to kneeI, but could
not do SO, because his legs were PIN
ioned and his hands cuffed.
Williams died in a religious fernzy,
clasping his hands in apparent JOY
as he dropped to death
The crime for which Frank Miller
was hanged was the murder of Police
man j. w. Adams one night in March,
1900. Earlier in the night the safe of
the Standard Oil company had been
blown open and robbed by a gang OF
five men. About midnight Policemen
G. w. Kirkley and j. w. Adams ar
rested Frank Miller and Frank Dun
can, two suspicious-looking men. En-
route to the station house they broke
away and fired on the officers, fatally
wounding both of them, and escaping.
Later Miller and Duncan were appre-
hended Officer Kirkley had died be-
fore the prisoners could be taken be-
fore him for Identification, but Adams
was still alive, and before he4died he
identified Miller as the man who shot
him and Duncan as the slayer Of Kirk
ley. Miller was convicted and given
the death penalty and Duncan was
given a life sentence in the peniten-
tiary. After the supreme court had

to the German ambassador, claiming
German citizenship, and that officer
requested the governor to commute
Miller's sentence, but this request was
not granted. Gov. Jelks Thursday
evening finally accepted the recon-
mendation of the pardon board not
to interfere in the case.
One hour after the Miller hanging
Alonzo Williams (colored) was hanged
from the same scaffold. Williams,
while serving a life sentence for mur-
der in the Pratt mines penitentiary,
killed fellow convict named Bob Cal
lahan, by stabbing him with a coal
pick. The murder was the result Of a
trivial quarrel.

Little Sign of Relief.

Washington, July Intense heat
prevailed here all day and far into
the night. The sun shone with re-
lentless fury from cloudless sky all
day, and there was scarcely breath
of air to temper the atmosphere.
During the afternoon the tempera-
ture at the weather bureau was 90
degrees, and it maintained a high
record throughout the evening. Re-
ports to the weather bureau from
points throughout the hot wave area
show remarkably high temperatures
generally, with little or no rainfall
and but poor prospects for any SUBJ
stantial relief in the next 4s hours in
the eastern part of the country. In
the south, Atlantic and middle and
east gulf states there were local
rains and thunderstorms Sunday, and
in the entire northwest cooler weath-
er came from local showers. High
temperature continued in all districts
east of the Rocky mountains At
New York the maximum, 90 degrees,
broke the record there for June, and
at Philadelphia the maximum, 9s,
equaled the highest temperature pre-
viously recorded there.

In the scrimmage Sheriff Rigney lost his footing and fell headforemost an the floor of the hack, his legs protrud- ing through the crowd of excited men. One of the policemen, thinking they Were the legs of the man that caused so much bother, laid his club onto them in vigorous fashion. and the sher- if finding at last that the club meant business, yelled out to stop breaking his legs, whereupon the officers viz ilance ceased. The man was finally bundled into the hack and taken away and the sheriff limped to the hack stand and drove home, lame.
