COFFEE COUNTY STORM.
Rev, w. III. Hunter Writes of Distress
a., ifx Wake.

Writing to The Advertiser from En-

appeal in behalf of the sufferers from
the recent storm In Coffee County. He
says: -. coo, t. o,v of m,

When the clouds rolled away, birds,
rabbits chickens and hogs were dead

Threo Msn Pay for Crime 81 Murder
with Their Lives According 10 Rec

A recent issue Of the Manila Times
tells q grewsome tale Of a garroting
execution which failed 10 kill some Of

olas Ancheta. Daniel Verson. Aniceto
JaYisr and Furstino Paschal, murder
ers, were garroted at Amulung, Ca
gayan province, October 81.
"Mr. Gubridge, a Billibid ofhcial, SUI
perintended the execution, as the pro
vinciaI authorities we're unable to find
an Official to do it. Gubridge practiced
with the grewsome machine, which
was a strangulatiOn g~arr0te, and not
one that dislocates the spinal column.
On the day set he had about perfected
himself in its use.
There was some question a. TO the
time that the victins should be In the
machine. The Spanish tradition was
that Il took eight minutes to u
death, but that the bodies should be
left IN the machine four hours. It
was the Spanish boast that neither in
Spain nor in the Philippines had the
garroter ever bungled his horrible
task. After some hesitation It was de-
cided that eight minutes was all that
wa necessary to complete the work Of
death and that the four hours was the
length Of time the bodies should be ex-
posed afterward.
when taken from the machine the
limp bodies, still bound, were laid upon
the floor Of the church Of Amulung thar
the relatives might claim them and take
them away. DR.. Licena. the provincial
surgeon, certified to their death and the
Judge gave the seal Of judicial approval
About three hours later two constab-
ulary officers, Capt. Long, senior inspec-
tor Of the province, and Lieut.. Collins
entered the church to see II the bodies
had been claimed. They were horriiet
to see upon the floor three bodies, still
in their winding cords, but squirminl
