UTTERLY INDIFFERENT;
COHEN WAS SENTENCED.
Did Not Even Know what Date the
Court Fixed For Execution.

Court Fixed For Execution.
With a countenance betokening ut
ter Indifference to his fate, Abe Cohen.
the condemned murderer of Susie
Rogers, listened for the third time to
the sentence of death in the Superior
Court room yesterday.
Cohen was absolutely unmoved by
the ordeal. AS the court pronounced the
the death sentence he stood look
ing calmly on. When that por-
ton of the sentence was reach
ed where the court orders
that the condemned man be hanged by
the neck until dead, and adds May
God in His infinite goodness have
mercy on your soul" all eyes turned
to the murderer. But he did not
finch; instead he carelessly rubbed a
bit of amber from his lips. In ac-
cordance with the sentence of the
court he will be hanged in the county
Jail on July 10, between the hours of
10 a. m. and p. m. When he was
taken back to the Jail by the sheriff,
he entered never to emerge again.
The day set for the execution is with
in a week of the anniversary of the
murder
An instance which showed the abso-
lutte Indifference with which he held
the proceedings occurred when he was
taken into the sheriffs office after SEN
tence had been passed upon him. He
did not know upon what day he was
condemned to die, for when told that
July 10 was the last day he would
ever see, he answered in a most nom
chalent way:
Tenth. was it? I thought he said
the third
Cohen is a heavy-set. stalwart negro
His appearance since he has been con-
fined in Jail has changed none. Not
even in the matter of apparel has he
changed, for he was sentenced in the
same clothes which he wore on the
day of the murder.
These are the same clothes which
you wore on the day of the murder,
aren't they, Abe?" he was asked.
That's right" he answered.; and
then displaying his shoes. he said:
"Them's the same 1 kicked her wild
after the shottin' l amt wore out
much shoe leather since that time he
added.
Questioned as to whether he thought
the sentence of the court a just one, ne
would only answer that, just or unjust,
it had to go. When asked IF he did
not think he should be hanged for
Strengthening his sweetheart in the way
he had. he only answered:
The state say 1 should-that's the
end of it. I'm getting prepared to
meet my Maker, and when the time
comes round I reckon 1 will be in
shape. The state say l must die; there
amt no queS tioning i'll must die"

But for the presence of mind of a
IL year old boy there might have been
a serious fire at No. 119 Fortieth street,

apartment house at this address and
the upper apartment is occupied by
Capt. George W. Drummond and

The young hero is Capt Drummond's

smoke issuing from under the house
and made an investigation. He did
not cry out for help, but went under
the house alone and discovered box
of trash in flames.
Even then Master Lynn did not call
for assistance. He pulled the burning
box into the yard and extinguished the
blaze himself. The flames were lick
ing the woodwork under the house
when young Drummond discovered the
smoke.
