LEAZER LEARNS FATE.
The Murderer Asks For Mercy
When Sentenced.
Mercy. Mercy pl

Mercy, Mercy
These were the only words with
which William Leazer, the murderer
of Patrolman McNamara, at Fairfield,
this county, received the sentence
of death in the Circuit Court this af.
ternoon at the hands of Judge Jones.
In the deathlike silence of the room,
in the hushed expectancy of the wait
ing crowd, Leazer stood silent and
upright until the words of fate had
been delivered.
Leazer was led into the court room
few minutes after 3 O'Clock and
placed in the prisoners dock. AS
there had been no motion for new
trial or stay of execution, he was
asked if he had anything TO say why
the entence of the court should not be
imposed. He replied that he had
nothing to say.
Judge EJones then stated that the
terrible responsibility which had been
placed on the court in deciding the
case itself was lessened to a great ex-
tent by the completeness and direct
ness of the testimony. He said that it
had no mass of conflicting testimony
TO weigh, but that the case complete
in every particular.
Continuing, his honor stated that he
did not care to longer prolong a pain
ful situation and would therefore or
der that he be taken back to the Jail
and there confined until such a day
as set by the Governor and there hang
ed by the neck until he was dead, and
may God have mercy on Your soul.''
At the concluding words Leazer 4
lower lip trembled and he murmured
MERCY, Mercy" while the blood
receded from his face and left him a
saffron hue. he was lead from the
court room and taken to Jail through
a press of persons who followed him
and the deputies down the street.
