Yesterday. THE celebration OF the cen

scale commensurate with the lmpof-

was examined on a charge of lunacy

MURDERERS GARR,CTTED
Four Porto Ricans Put to Death After
Long Legal Fight.
Public Sentiment Strongly Against the Ex-'
ecutions-Soldiers Built the Plat
form on Which the Men Died.

san Juan, Porto Rico.-The four muir
derers. Bernabe Acevcdo. Jose Torres.
Ramon Cadcno and Juan Torres. who
were convicted of murder. robbery and
outrage committed four years ago i'm u
suburb of Adjuntas. have been gar
roted in the Ponce Jail. Only about
thirty official witnesses We're present
y convict murderer acted as execution
or, as no other person could be obtained
to perform the duty. At the garroting
of murderers last year this same CON
vict acted as eXecutioner. for which
service his term of imprisonment wa~
commuted. He will now he set Mt lib
erty. and will receive 500 for his work.
The garrotng of these murderers had
been set for May 81. and. was to have
been carried out secretly. 1t had to he
postponed on account of the tremcn-
dous sentiment against capital punish
ment. No workman could be found
who would build the platform. and no
one would sell nails or timber to he
used In its construction. 1t was finally
constructed by soldiers
The four condemned men occupicd
the corners of the rude platform. They
were brought out separately and
screens were arranged so that none of
the murd"rcrs saw the garroting of
the others. In each case death was
practically instantaneous. The men
were pronounced dead rs soon as the
doctors examined them.
Notwithstanding the fact that all tho
men admitted their guilt of terrible
bandit murder and assault on women.
in the last moments prominent citizens
appealed to the Governor and Supreme
Court to suspend sentence. From s
o'clock until IL the court listened to ar
gum@nts as to the unconStitutionality
or Furnishing criminals without indict-
ment by the Grand Jury. The point
was finally overruled
Originally five men We're convicted OF
these crimes. The Governor however
commuted the sentence of one to inn
prisonmcEt for life
The men We're first convicted in June
1900. and the case was fought through
all the courts. Then the press of Porto
Rico started Il campaign to have the
Governor pardon the men. He re-
ferred the cases TO the Attorney Gcn-
eral, who affirmed the convictions.
