Seattle. Jan. 20.-A SPECIAL to the
Times from Dawson says: Murderers
Labelle and Fournier were hanged
this morning at 7:45. Labelle was
the first to be brought from the cell
and bound. None were present but
officers and representatives of the
press. He submitted passively and
seemed overcome. Father Bunoz at
tended him. The prisoner repeated
the prayers most devoutly.
Fournier was then brought out. He
was wildeyed and somewhat excited.
While being bound he said: "You
might as we'll break me in two while
you are at it," When asked to button
his coat when partially bound he re-
piled: TOO late now Later he
turned to the executioner, who
tugged at the straps that bound
him, and remarked: Hard work,
partner" To Detective Walsh, who
stood near, he said: You, Walsh,
promise you that for the rest of your
days you shall never rest easy
Turning, he saw Labelle, and said ::
"You look fine, Labelle." Later he
said: 81 am glad of it: deserve it,
Even on the scaffold Fournier was
unshaken. At the last moment he
seemed contmte and responded to
prayers and took part in the last
sacrament at the hands of the priest
The crimes for which the men paid
the penalty were the murders of
Leon Bouthillette, Joseph Casatine
and A. BeudOin.
