The Indian walked with a firm step
10 the scafrold, n deputy marshal on
either side Of him, airily bade goodby
to the crowd lining the passageway be-
tween the Jail and the stoCkade In
which the execution took place, and
stepped at 9:03 on the same trap from
which Harry Hayward, the Minneapolis
gambler, and John Moshek, the h
milan murderer, were launched into
eternity.
While the deputy marshal was ad-
justing the straps, a slight shudder
shook the Indians stalwart frame; his
lips moved in prayer.

AS the moose was dropped over his
head and the knot was being adjusted
under his left ear, Walking Shield

dusky features, the murderer raised his
eyes ~heavenward, Il his rugged face
twitChed ~nervously.
The mex. instant the trap crashed
DULY as 1T struck against the sand
bank beneath the scaifold, the black
robed figure shot through the air and
swung at the end Of the rope.
The drop was six feet. The broad
shoulders lifted twice, the breast
around. After that there was no move
ment, except by the swelling neck, from
which the black cap fell away under
the hanSElan'S knot.
Heart Worked Long.
AS the minutes licked by, the ply
s~icians, with hands on the pulse, noted
the slow passing Of the mans spirit.
When the pulse was almost impercep-
tible, the black rob. and clothing were
opened and the physicians listened to
the beating Of the heart. Fifteen min
utes after the trap Yves sprung, the
heart recorded 81 beats to the minute.
Two minutes later. IT had dropped to As.
M minute later it had ceased.
The execution was witnessed BY about
