THE CHASE EXECUTION.
w. 4. Cox, Who Saw Him Hanged, Re-
calls Some Of the Facts.


Two weeks ago an article appeared in
the Punxsutawney Spirit concerning
the Chase execution, and Mr.. Ninian
Cooper, of this place, called our atten-
errors In the Spirits article, and he
was to have given us the corrections,
but amidst the multitudinous duties
that confront country editor the mat
Cox, of Sandy Valley, however, took
the matter up and wrote letter TO the
Spirit, which was published in that
paper last week and which we clip
and published, as follows:
| 81 noticed in recent issue OF your
paper an item In regard to the hanging
of Charles Chase. Your informant was
just ten years too late in his date, and
was also mistaken about the implement
used to commit the murder. 1t was not
a hatchet, but a maui used tddrive the
frow used in splitting shingle bolts.
The murder was committed February
~, lCDf, anu lnt tAttubiOu lDOk DidCo
August 2s OF the same year. Chase's
full name was Charles Winton, and his
accomplice was William Dean Graves.
They were employed by Roderick Nc
Donald at making split shingles when
they conceived the idea OF killing their
employers aunt, who lived alone in
little farm house. Chase was captured
the next day after the murder in barn
on the road between Brockwayville and
Ridgway. He was intoxicated. Graves
was captured few months later in
Michigan, where he was traced by hav-
ing used gold to pay his expenses. Gold
was at high premium at that time,
being out OF general circulation, and
naturally excited comment. William
Norris, who still lives near Reynolds
vile, was one OF the jurors who convict
ed Chase. Thomas North and John
Frampton, of Punxsutawney, are two
others of the surviving jurors.
On the day before Chase was hanged
his father, mother and two brothers,
who lived near Karthaus, Clearfield
county, started to drive to Brookville.
When they reached Reynoldsville the
mother of the condemned man stopped
at the residence Of Thomas Reynolds,
and remained there until after the ex-
ecution. The others drove on. saw
them coming out of the jail after they
had visited Charles for the last Tins.
1t was IL o'clock a. m. He was hanged
at 2o'clock p. m. There was large
crowd in Brookville and the Sheriff
had armed guards placed all around the
jail yard. | witnessed the execution
from the roof of the American House
barn. We could see Charles from that
position from his head down to his
waist. He was large man, weighing
200 pounds. and had a very thick neck.
When the drop fell the rope slipped
over his head and he fell. In about
three minutes they had him up again,
when he cody asked for drink of
water, which was given him. The rope
was readjusted, the black cap pulled
over his eyes, and the drop fell. In
two hours the body was turned over to
his father and brothers, who took 1t
away In q two-horse hack. Chase was
buried near Karthaus. w. T. Cox.

Il Is to be hoped tha. the practice
OF shooting woman because Of re-
fusal to marry will not become COM
mon. though. as evidenced in New
York City. II seems to be noiieeably
on the increase. The ItaHan girl who
was instantly killed because Of un-
willingness to enter the matrimonial
es- ate seems to have oeen Influenced
by considerations that are usually
regarded as more OF less reasonable.
She found her persistent wooer had
wife at home in Italy; beside be
ing otherwise an undesirable perti,
and she. therefore, declined to accept
his further attentions. Apparently
regarding her refusal TO wed as suf-
fcient justification for homicide, the
hot blooded son Of Sunny italy "e-
cured an invitation to the Thanks
giving dinner which the girl attend
ed, and took that opportunity to shoot
her through the heart, thereafter es-
Gaping and so far avoiding arrest
A second case Of rejected address
ses was that Of the euphoniously
named Max Sukawatsky, fascinated
by the charms of young widow, of
East Seventy fifth street, New York,
also bearing noticeable cognomen,
Mr. Hnotisak. The lady's name does
not seem particularly pleasing to
Anne ican ears. but being unwilling
to change it. she paid the price of
constancy by standing target for two
revolver cartridges from the murder
Gus hand Of Sulawatsky. As the
murderer jumped from a seventh
story window and was instantly kill
ed, he made prompt settlement of
the penalty for his crime but the
italian murderer above mentioned
should be pursued and hanged az a
warning to others Of his kind not to
follow his example.

The candidacy of Edgar Jones of
Guthrie, for the position of speaker
of the lower house of the legislature
elect ought 10 have the hearty sup
port of every Democrat in the terri
tory, and this is said with no inten-
ton to disparage either the ability
or the party standing of his competi-
tors. Mr.. Jones led wha; might be
fairly termed a "foglorn hope" in the
race for a seat in the house. AS a
Democratic candidate whom Greer
could not hope to control, Captain
Jones was mad the especial mark of
the vicious aud uncontrolled vitupe-
ration of the State Capital Every
po sible appeal was made TO the race

It ought not to be the purpose of
Democratic house to resort TO petty
politics to iniure Guthrie OF to dis
criminate against any citizen OF the
territory because he lives in Guthrie.
No city of the territory should be
given undue advantages and none
should be singled out as objects of
spite and hatred
II is to Guthrie's everlasting credit
that her citizens forgot their buck
storing political methods long enough
to elect Captain Jones to the lsgisla-
ture, and the Herald believes that
the Democrats will be honoring them
selves. when they honor Mr.. Jones
and his staunch and admiring con-
aiiiuonts by electing the hero OF 30
