A slight sprinkle was falling. Jobs
head was bare but he did not notice
the dampness. AS he came in the en-
closure his eyes moved swiftly, TAX
ing in the faces before him. He
walked directly to the steps of the
gruesome scaffold and ascended the
eleven steps in hurried, springy
fashion.
> The two officers had hold of either
arm but their assistance was unneces-
sary.
Reaching the platform, eight feet,
four inches above the ground, Will
liams faced about, quickly the black
cap was adjusted Then the moose
was reached over and placed about
the murderer's neck. While adjusting
the rope Williams said to the Sheriff
that it was scratching his nose.
The moose adjusted properly Sheriff
Diament stepped off the trap and
reached for, the lever. AS he did so
! Job called out in a loud, clear voice,
Good bye all. Prepare to meet your
Maker -
The lever was pulled promptly. 1t
was just % minutes of eleven. Will
liams had been upon the scaffold one
minute.
The body shot straight downward
and there was the slightest rebound
and the body hung motionless. Then
there was slight tremor through the
arms and legs, slight drawing of
the body and all was STILL
In just eight moments from the
time the drop fell life was extinct,
and five moments after the lifeless
form was taken down.
On examination it was found that
the neck had been broken and Will
liams never knew what had happened
from the instant he fell through the
drop.
After aD examination of the body
undertaken Charles Tomlin took
charge of the remains and took them
| to his place of business where they
were prepared for the casket and
afterward removed to the home of the
condemned man s sorrowing mother.
Outside of the Jail great crowds of
people stoodsout in the rain and gazed
curiously upon the enclosure After

HUNT BROTHERS.
DIVIDENDS PAID
MAKE BULK OF SHORTAGE.

The Philadelphia Record yesterday
printed the following Millville dis
patch regarding the recent financial
disaster over there:
Millville, N. J.. Nov. 22.-The
stockholders auditing committee of
the Stock Building and Loan Associa-
tlon is making some startling dis
coveries. Up to to-day nine years
accounts have been covered, and they
show that $4,000 had been taken
from the capital stock and paid out in
the form of dividends in that period.
The committee then struck a snag as
the next years cash book is missing.
1t is evident by the discoveries of
the committee that Secretary R. L.
Howell's alleged shortage was greatly
exaggerated at the last meeting of the
stockholders. Mr.. Howell has re
mained in New York and has made no
attempt to leave the country. To-day
he sent money to his employees and
communicated with other friends.
The value of Mr.. Howell's various
properties may amply to cover all de-
ficits which may be due to his acts.
The deficits and their causes tend to
show that the curious methods of
bookkeeping used by the Board of Di-
rectors permitted $50, 900 to SIS, 900 of
the assets to be paid back to the stock
holders in the form of dividends.
Grave questions are asked as to who
would be responsible for a state of
affairs which. seem to have existed for
so many years without discovery.
People are beginning to question
the management because within three
days the special committee of stock
holders has made such remarkable dis
coveries and reached SUCH definite fig
ures covering period of nine years,
while the Board of Directors, after
two or three weeks of constant inves-
tigation, had arrived at only meagre
results and presented at the stock
holders meeting report covering
only two years
A prominent fnaneier is authority
for the statement tonight that some
OF the old directors with several other
citizens, will reorganize thesAssocia-
tion so as to hold its valuable charter.
The meeting scheduled for next We'd
nesday has been postponed one week.

moustache to be removed, however,
as he said it greatly helped his ap-
pearance.
Several persons were permitted to
call upon Williams this morning and
to all of them he bade farewell much
as If he was going away but a short
while.
Many were early at the Sheriff s
office. Constables from all over the
county were early upon the scene,
and were ready for the duty assigned
them
The two days. hard rain storm
made the mud soft and everything
about the enclosure was wet and dis
agreeable. The scaffold was soaked
and made it extremely unpleasant fo1
those officially present.
