0ATHS AND CURSES
Fall from Lips of Murderer
Cooke on the ScaffoId.
Fearful TRADE Against the People Of
Greenyi|Ie Parish.
Murderers Of Engineer Wray Hanged,
6000 People as Witnesses.

Greenville, Miss, July 23.-With
curses on his lips, with eyes bloodshot
and with the expressed wish that the
people of Greenville perish in the fires
of hell, Ashley Cooke died here, Tuesday.
With him, but silently, Tom Lauder
dale also met his end. Both We're con-
victed Of the murder of Engineer G. NJ.
Wray and were hanged from the same
gallows and the swing of a double trap
sent both men to their doom. The fatal
trigger was snapped at 11.27 Tuesday
morning. At 11.41, Cooke was pro-
nounced dead. At 11.43, the pulse of
Lauderdale ceased to beat. Both
bodies were cut down 10 minutes later
and turned over TO their respective
families.
Cooke died Boosting that he would be
in hell in a few minutes and damninS
everything and everybody. He said
that those who had planned his murder
would meet their end and that $1,000
had been deposited in bank, $1,000 OF
which would be paid for the death OF
each Of the III men who prosecuted
him. The execution was witnessed by
5000 people.
Tuesday morning, before the time FOR
the execution both men appeared de-
FAINT, Cooke especially being very
abusive to everyone around him, while
both cursed continually. After the
death warrant had been read to the
men in their cells, Cooke yelled through
the window to the great crowd which
had gathered outside to witness the
execution:
Damn you, don't be impatient we
are coming"
When the sheriff and the doomed
men mounted the scaffold Cooke again
began to berate those about him ana
turning to the crowd said:
ITS all a plot to kill me; damn you
all damn everybody. I'm going to die
ike q man.
Il am killed for nothing. but | am
the bravest man in the state of Mlssls-
sippi. There is 81 900 waiting for any
one who will kill the II men who made
this plot. / will be revenged, for every
one of this IL will be killed and no
ulestions will be asked. They nave
murdered me, bat revenge, revenge, re-
venge."
Before he could say more the black
caps were adjusted.
Are you both ready?" asked the
sheriff.
YES" yelled Cooke through the folds
of black. Damn you people of Green
vile. go to hell all of YOU
The trap was sprung and the men
dropped into space.

and after she had gone worried about her
and didn't go to bed at all but slept on
the sofa all night. She told him about
telling Treworgy to go to Balduc's and
inquire for Sarah. Connors called at the
Treworgy home and asked him if he had
been at home that Saturday night that
Sarah Ware disappeared. Treworgy said.
ASK my family
Mrs. Frank Thompson of Bucksport,
testified that Mrs. Miles was uneasy
about Sarah the day after she went away.
Mrs. Lizzie Gray of Ellsworth, who
keeps a boarding house, said that Ire
worgy was at her house in October, 1898

BILE that he could put his hand on the
murderer of Sarah Ware within half an
hour and that twice while he had been
talking with this man the murderer had
passed the house.
B. H Coombs a civil engineer of Ban
gor testified as to measuring the pasture
where the body of Mrs. Ware was found.
He said there was not an alder within
80 feet of the place where the body was
found. This is in contradiction to tes-
timony for the defence. He said the de-
ger would have to be driven from the
lane to reach the place where the body
was found were not more than two IN
number and not more than 10 inches deep.
Elliot C. Dill of Augusta, corroborated
this testimony.
E. f. Harnett of Portland, who repre-
scented himself to be a constable and an
investigator of criminal matters, was
called to corroborate this testimony and
was cross-examined at great length by
the defence.
Winfield Patterson said he worked for
Treworgy in 1898 and called at his house
the Saturday night Sarah Ware disap-
peared and did not see Treworgy asleep
in the kitchen as Treworgy testified he
had.
A few witnesses of minor Importance
were put on by the defence before the
noon adjournment.
