Copenhaver In the expiation of his crime.
It was a night of tension for Warden Reid.
but with the perfect operation of the ma
chinery of the law there was no hitch in
the preliminaries of the double execution,
and with apparent stole indifference. brav-
cry born of despair, Copenhaver and Jack
son were ready victims for the moose.
Copenhaver went to his doom as though 1t
was duty he owed the State. while Jack
son was buoyed up with religious fervor
that gave him strength for the ordeal. The
space was Copenhaver's death warning,
and thus the tragedy of two lives was con-
summated.
The condemned men spent the day as
they have spent the many days since they
were brought to the prison. Both ate hearty
meals and conversed freely with Chaplain
II. L. Henderson with relation to the after
nf
ing death on the gallows and their only de-
sire was that the hour of execution would
arrive quickly.
Warden Reid read the death warrants
to the condemned men during the after
noon, at which time he asked them If they
had any requests to make. Copenhaver had
been advised that his body would be
claimed by his brother and appeared satis-
fed. Jackson requested that his body be,
sent to Evansville.
Jackson left his cell at 12:061z and just
one minute later the drop fell. His neck
was broken by the plunge through the
trap and at 1920 he was declared dead.
His body was cut down and Copenhaver
left his cell for the death march at 12:2S1
and one minute later he was swinging in
space He was declared dead at 12:3911.
Chaplain Henderson engaged Copenhaver
i'm earnest conversation a few minutes be-
fore midnight. The wife-sayer expressed
belief in God and explained that he had
been Indifferent to religious solace because
he feared that II he yielded TO religious in
fuence that he would become faint-heart-
ed and break down on the scaffold. God
have mercy on my SOUL was the cry of
Copenhaver he stood on the scaffold,
and a moment later the trap was sprung.
Jackson had nothing to say, though he had
engaged in earnest prayer during the long
watches before midnight

FRAUD Is ALLEGED.
Receiver Asked for the United States
ShipbuiIding Company.

TRENTON, N. j., June 11.-Judge Kirk
patrick of the United States Circuit Court
at his chambers IN Newark to-day made
an order returnable in Trenton next Mon
day for cause to be shown why a receiver
should not be appointed for the United
States Shipbuilding Company. The appli-
cation was made by Roland r. Conkln.
who charges that the company is insolv-
ent and alleges fraud in connection with
its Incorporation and management. The
company was organized about year ago
with an authorized capital of $50. 900 and
with a provision for a bond issue of &c.
100000. OF this 100000 was to be under
written by a trust company. The appli-
cants for a receiver are holders of some
of these bonds.

THROWN OUT OF THE WINDOW.
Royal Couples Bodies Tossed Into q
Park-Joy of the Assassfns.

BERLIN, June ia dispatch to the Ma
tional Zeitung from Semlin agrees with
other unofficial reports that the bodies of
the King and the Queen were thrown from
their bedroom window into the park King
Alexander was shot through the neck at
the first fire and the rush of blood suffo-
Gated him. Queen Draga received several
shots. and after she was dead the regicide
slashed her body with their swords and
thrust Ii through and through. The rugs in
the royal chamber were soaked with blood
which flowed over the floors. The window
hangings were torn down and trampled un-
der foot, the windows broken and the OBJ
jects of art shattered In wanton destruc-
tion. The murderers afterwards embraced
and congratulated one another on the sue
cess of the plot and announced joyfully TO
those below that the King and Queen had
been disposed of.
The residence of the Queens brother.
near the palace. was nearly wrecked When
the brothers, says the correspondent. were
dying from shot wounds they kissed each
other. The ministers who We're killed met
their death at their homes. and in some in
stances the attacks on them were made in
the presence of the members OF their fam
lies who had run in. Thus the daughter of
wounded. The minister himself escaped
with some wounds inflicted while he was
trying to telephone to the police headquar-
ters for help. He did not get the connec-
ton, as the telephone exchange was occu-
pied by troops.
Court Marshal Nikoljewitch escaped from
the royal palace and sought refuge In the
Austrian legation. The Austrian minister,
Herr Dumba, was thus the first diplomat TO
learn OF the assassnations. He sent a boat
across the river requesting the officer COM
manding at Semlin 10 send troops 10 protect
the legation. While the officer was DELHI
Grating whether he ought TO encroach on
Servian territory the minister sent another
message Withdrawing his request. Shots
were fired at the Russian legation huf IN
was afterwards explained that they were
fired by mistake.
About $50 officers were in the plot, which
was astonishingy well kept,
