DEATH OF AMOS K. zereLEz.

SAX RAFAEL, Cal, March 22.-Amos
X. Zeigler wife murderer, died Sunday
in San Quentin prison where he has
been for nearly four years past, most
of the time under the sentence of death
His case has been most curious one
from the fact that the man was of
huge weight, having increased from
about 225 pounds to over 300 pounds
possibility of terrible scene when the
drop was sprung was dreaded by every
official in the prison.
The date set for his execution was
July 18th last, but in May he was seiz-
ed with an attack of apoplexy which
has practically kept him Frustrated
ever since He had previously been
undergoing the unique experience of
being trained to so reduce his weight
as to render him fit subject for the
hangman's services.
How he murdered his wife and at
tempted his own life at Santa Cruz on
the night of August 9Th, 1900, was Civ
en- in these columns at that time
He put up plea of insanity, but
was convicted and sentenced to life
Imprisonment. lie applied for new
trial and was successful in obtaining
it, but he was again found guilty and
this time, on May 26th, 1902, he was
sentenced to death. There was the
usual stays during which the convict
put on so much weight that he became
mere mass of inert flesh. His death
came as relief to the officials as we'll
as to himself.
