HIS " HANGMAN


LINCOLN, Neb May 15.-FraEk Bar
ker, murderer of his brother and sis.
ter-in-law, near Inavale, in Webster
county, is to be his own hangman.
His execution Is to occur On June
16. The law requires that all legal
executions in Nebraska shall be
held at the %penitentiary, under the
supervision of the warden. II does
not specify, however, that the warden
or any other person shall spring the
trap. In Barker's case, Warden
Beemer shrinks from the duty, as do
other officials at the penitentiary.
But Barker has stepped into the
breach and informed the warden that
he will be his own hangman. Barker
has frankly confessed that he Is guilty.
The warden was not satisfied that
such a proceeding would be legal, and
he accordingly presented the matter
to the Office of attorney general for a
legal opinion.
Deputy Attorney General Thomp-
son gave the subject thoughtful con
sideration and finally advised the
warden that the law merely made it
mandatory upon the latter to see to it
that Barker is hanged upon the day
fixed by the courts decree, and that
there was nothing whatever to pro-
hibit Barker from acting as his own
executioner If he saw fit.
The arrangements for the execution
provide that one of the warden's as
sistants is to adjust the black cap
over Barker's head and place the rope
about the condemned mans neck.
An electrical continuance is to con-
troll the trap, connected up with a
wire running into Barkers hands
The latter will be strapped to his hips,
but Barker win have free use of his
fingers and will push the button re.
leasing the trap.
On Wednesday Attorney F.. G.
Hamer requested permission to file a
motion for a rehearing in the case OF
Frank Barker. 1t is not thought the
request will be granted. Frank has
been placed in solitary confinement,
and he is just beginning to realize
that he has but a short time to live
Attorney Hamer has not given up all
hope OF saving Franks neck.
No NEW TRIAL.
LINCOLN, Neb, May 1.-THE SUI
preme court has overruled the motion
for "a rehearing filed by the attorneys
for Frank Barker, the Webster
county double murderer. The forty
day limit in which the motion could
have been filed expired Tuesday
This morning counsel for Barker sub
mitted an application for leave to fill
a motion for %rehearing The court
allowed the application to be filed
but overruled it as intending to delay
the carrying out of the former deci
sion.
Since being confined in an isolated
cell Barker has become gloomy and i
a trife respondent. June l6 is tn
date of the execution and the hang
ing will take place between the hour
of IL a. m. and 3 p m.

HAPTE XII.

NREWSTER made Il good story of
* the holdup at the club, but he
did not relate all the details.
H. One of the listeners was a new
public commissioner who was aggres-
sive in his efforts at reform. Accord
ingly Brewster was summoned to head
quarters the next morning for the pur-
pose of looking over the suspects
that had been brought in. Almost the
first man that he espied was a rough
looking fellow whose identity could not
be mistaken. 1t was Bill.
"Hello, Bill" called Monty gayly.
Bill ground his teeth for a second, but
his eyes had such IN appeal in them
that Monty relented.
you know this fellow, Mr.. Brew
ster?' demanded the captain quickly.
Bill looked utterly helpless.
"Know Bill?" questioned Monty in
surprise. ''Of course l do, captain"
HE was picked up late last night
and detained because he would give no
account of his actions"
"Was it as bad as that, Bill?' asked
Brewster, with a smile. Bill mumbled
something and assumed a look of def
ance. Monty's attitude puzzled him
sorely. He hardly breathed for an in
slant and gulped perceptibly.
pass Bill, captain. He was with me
last night just before my money was
taken, and he couldn't possibly have
robbed me without my knowledge.
Wait for me outside, Bill. l want to
talk to you. I'm quite sure neither of
the thieves is here, captain" concluded
Brewster after Bill had obeyed the or
der to step out of the line.
Outside the door the puzzled crook
met Brewster, who shook him warmly
by the hand.
you're a peach" whispered Bill
gratefully. What did you do it for,
mister?'
Because you were kind enough not
to cut my shirt"
Say, you're all right, that's what.
Would you mind havin' a drink with
me? It's your money, but the drink
won't be any the worse for that. We
bowed most of it already, but here's
what's left" Bill handed Monty a roll
of bills.
