Cured during his three days of liberty
following his escape from jail. was
hanged in the county jail yard this
morning. The scene on the scaffold
Was pltlful In the extreme. Dunn was
virtually carried to the trap dazed and
bewlldered. very feeble and seemingly
unconscious of what was taking place.
At times he seemed TO realize what
was coming and he shrank back but
his lack OF courage was due to ph5 ST.
cal rather than moral weakness. For
The last q hours the Jail physicians
sent out bulletins OF Dunn's condI-
don saying he was Improving. but
nany people believe this was done to
discourage the outcry against hang ng
a dying man.
Before pulling the trap Sheriff spen-
Ger this morning communicated w.,h
-he governor by telephone asking him
i he should proceed with the hanging.
The governor answered that he dld
not believe Dunn was dying. and so lie
declined to Interfere.
