Car Barn Bandits Hanged
in Chicago.
Nicdmeyer Taken to the Scaffold
in u Chair-Died as He Lived,
an Atheist-Two Companions
Had Protested Conversion.

Chicago, April 22.-Atheist to
the last, but seemingly unnervea
completely, Peter Neidmeyer, the
leader of the car barn bandits,
was hanged today from chair,
in striking contrast with his COM
panions in crime, Gustav Marx
and Harry Van Dine, who, stand
ing erect, kissed an image of
Christ and died without tremor.
The three executions were sep
arate, 20 minutes apart, the same
scaffold being used for all. Only
once before in the large number
of executions that have taken place
at the Jail in this city has it been
necessary to carry condemned
man to the gallows as Neldermyer
was today.
The crime for which the three
bandits paid the penalty was one
of eight murders which the three
men are known to have committed
that of Francis w. Stewart, a
clerk in the car barns of the Chi.
cago City railway. Neidermyer
had boasted continually of his
courage but as the last mements
approached he collapsed and was
unable to take three consecutive
steps of a march to the galIows.
HAD TO BE LIFTED.
Neidermeyer had gone only two
steps from his cell when he sank
and it was found that it would be
necessary TO lift him to the scaf.
fold. Immediately Neidermeyer's
feet were strapped together. He
was handcuffed, placed upon a
hospital truck and wheeled to the
end of tier of cells. Then three
deputies carried him down flight
of stairs.
No minister or priest accompan.
led Ncidermeye", he having finally
said when offered las. opportun-
ity before leaving his cell that he
would die as he had lived, an an
archist.
On the scaffold JaiIer Whitman
disregarded the custom of asking
whether the condemned man wish.
ed to say anything. The shroud
and hood were QUICKLY adjusted.
The bandit instinctively moved
his head that the rope might more
easily be arranged and took last
glance at the spectators. He ap-
peared as if in a stupor. A mo-
ment later at 1926 o'clock the
trap fell.

shouted Mr.. Cochran. "Name

There was chorus of "name

cratic side.
"Name him, or admit that you

ed, adding, "what cannot be said
IN this house."
AT this there was wild and tum.

The feature Of the day, which
was clearly of the sensational orr

zell against Mr.. Cochran that he
had worked for hire for the cleo
tion of MIR. Mckinley. The de-
nunciatlon of this charge and of
the gentleman who made it was
IN language bitter with resent
ment and scOrn.
Mr.. Cochran, after discussing
the tariff question, said the differ-
ence between the two parties,
which was indicated in every Re-
publican "song" was that the
Democratic party did no. know
what it wanted and did not know
how to get it; the Repu blican
party knew what it wanted

to reach out for it. The Demo
cratic party was essentially one of
divisions.

Mr.. Cochran humorously re-
ferred to remark said to have
been made by President Rouse-
welt about good and bad trusts.
He said that naturally bad trusts
were those which raised prices,
but a great onslaught had been
made on one which did not raise
prices, the Northern Securities
company, and it had only been
compelled to change it's dose. The
trusts which raised prices were
those which were protected by q
tariff wall. Mr.. Cochran CON-
tinued his argument against pro-
lection and the protective sysa
tenn.
Mr.. Dalzell of Pennsylvania
asked Mr.. Cochran if he held the
same viows when he was making
Republican speeches IN 1896.
Mr.. Cochran responded that he
never made Republican speech

CAUSE OF THE DEATH OF CLARA
GILMORE AT NINE O'CLOCK
SUNDAY MORNING.
seemed to Be Sleeping Quietly at
Eight and Two Hours Later Life
less Body VA Found In Bed BY
Another Inmate Of House-coro-
ner's inquest Today.

Clara Gilmore, a woman about rs
years old. was found dead in bed at
her home on First street, between
Grand avenue and Garfield street at
10 o'clock yesterday morning by Helen
LeVere, an occupant Of the house, and
the death was at once reported to Cor
oner Robinson, who took charge OF
the body and turned it over to Under.
taker Stryker. 1t is now at the morgue,
the date of the burial having not yet
been decided upon.
A coroner's inquest was held this
afternoon, r. e. Fitch, A. H. Cordiner
and George E. Phillips acting as the
Jury. Three witnesses were examin-
ed-Dr, A. b. Hamilton. Helen LeVere
and Hattie Brown, the colored cook
at Mrs. Gilmore's home.
The verdict of the jury was that
the woman had come to her death
from suffocation from tonsilitis, induc-
ed by relaxation of the muscles. said
relaxation being caused by a rather
free use Of morphine, administered
by her own hand.
Little is known here of the woman's
history. From papers in the posses
sion of the coroner it is learned that
she went by the name of both Clara,
Rose and Carrie Gilmore and Clara
Garrett. In Cincinnati she was known
as Miss Clara Garrett" which leads
the coroner's officers TO believe that
her right name was Garrett and that
the name of her husband was Gilmore.
Where he is, If living, is unknown
here. She once told the Brown woman
that when a girl she lived at Charles
ton, w. Va, where she worked in a
mill Of some sort, showing the colored
woman the picture of a bridge h
said she crossed daily while she at
tended school and after she had gone
to work in the mill. At Cincinnati
she had various business transactions.
a number Of receipts for money being
among her papers.
She lived at Denver and Cheyenne
and at the latter place she owed o
ey to Gilmore & Russell, last Decem-
Der receivign a polite dunning letter
from them.
Mrs. Gilmore owned the house in
which she died, there being still due
on 1t six or seven hundred dollars.
She owned the furniture. and it is be
lieved the Cheyenne firm has a mort
gage on this. Some fourteen dollars
vas found in her possession.
According to the LeVere woman,
little was seen Of Mrs. Gilmore Sat
urday night. She was in her room the
most of the night, receiving a caller
along toward morning. At 8 o'clock
when Miss LeVere went to her room
she found Mrs. Gilmore breathing nat
urally and apparently in a healthy
sleep. No more attention was paid
to her until 10 o'clock Sunday morn
ing, when Miss LeVere again called
at her room, this time finding the Gil
more woman apparently in a dead
faint but really dead. DR.. Hamilton
