the man had said
1t was one of the most cold biOOd-d
murders ever committed in the city or
state. l t shocked society at the time
and was the topic OF conversation and
newspaper comment for many days.
The revolving features 81 the crime
which came To light later in the day
were made the more terrible by the
deliberate manner in which Rose made
his confession. boosted that he had
done right in putting his wife out OF

not living a pure life, and Insisted that
he had no regrets.
Why He Killed His Wife.
The confession which Rose mace
and the testimony which he gave on
The witness stand while being tried

months he had suspected his wife Of
To- his taking her life. The afternoon
the crime was committed, they went

% play on the door. According 10 the
pTearranged plan, AZ recOuuted by
Rose. his wife turned her face to-
wards him, and told him to shoot her
He asked her To turn her face from
him. for. as he said, he DID not want
to mar her features. Then placing The
barrel Of the cheap revolver close to
point back of the left ear, the husband
pulled the trigger The murderer in
sisted that his wife lived for about an
hour and a half during which time
they discussed the shooting, and other

with her blood which flowed from the
wound In the back of the head.

the wife died Rose left the house and
continued on spree upon which he
had started before the murder was
committed. He left the baby I'm the

says, between Friday afternoon and
late Saturday night. T., feed it. and
build a fire I'm the stove to keep ii
warm.
The day before he was executed.
Rose says he lost the key to the door
r. the room the first time he went out.
and after that he was compelled 10
crawl through the window which
opened onto The bed. In so doing the
man was compelled 10 creep over the
feet Of his wife. who still lay on the
bed. disrobed and only partially COW
cred with the few bed clothes they pos
sessed.
After killing his wife Rose pawned
a suit OF clothes which he wore on

Of a second later.
With the report of the rifles Rose 5

one would move it If pricked with a
PIN His head moved a fraction of an
inch TO the left. Otherwise the body
of the murderer did not move. An
audible oh went up from the
spectators when they saw Rose move.
Then there was silence for
nine or ten seconds. Suddenly Rose
was seen 10 lift both hands As he did
so. a second oh" arose from ne
crowd. The next instant the executed
mans head began 10 nod just a little,
giving three or four jerks before it fell
upon his left breast. The hands fell
with the nodding of the head. With
the first movement of the head every
man in the audience seemed TO say in
one breath:
Hes dead"
Drs. Odell and Beer stepped forward
just as soon as the head had fallen,
and each grasped one of the mans
wrists. There was no pulsation. the
sheriff FASTENED forward. and when he
reached the chair, DR.. Odell turned to
him. saying:
He is dead. / say it officially"

The wounds of the man were then
examined. 1t was found that one of
the bullets had pierced almost the

so close to it that the three round
holes could be covered by a scent

crowded forward. started back with
Mortified expression upon their faces,
as though they thought the man was
still alive. But they We're told that
life was extinct; that there was no
pulse when the doctors grasped the
arms.

there was a second passage of air from
