An instant later a lever was pulled by

John Roberts. in whisper, II he could say

his attorney privately that he had done
the killing.
| Not one Of the jail officials has ever seen

as much self-composure as was displayed

erts, who has been with fifty-three muir

| the opinion that the man executed today

The remains were inferred late this after

mother, brother and sister met Rev Mr..

Sinclair, who had lost his left leg was
provided with wooden limb However,
having always used a crutch, it was neces-

him from the cell to the scaffold
Because of his crippled condition the man
sWerved somewhat just before the drop fell
and that caused the knot of the rope to slip
from its position behind the left ear to a
point under the jaw. Therefore the neck
was not broken by the fall of the body.
Although Sinclair twitched somewhat and
breathed heavily and gurgled for few
moments, the physicians present declared
that he suffered no pain. having lost con-
seriousness the moment he reached NJ end
