DEATH ON THE CALLOWS
MURDERER WILLIAMS HANGED
IN ST. PAUL.
Faces Death with Indifference and
Declares Innocence up to the
Last Moment.

St Paul, Feb. 13.-At 1891 this
morning the death trap was sprung in
the basement of the county Jail, and
fourteen and half minutes later VIII
liam Williams was pronounced dead.
The murder of John Kellar was
avenged. Williams did not lose his
nerve on his way to the gallows, but
as he neared it, walking alone. he in
creased the length of his steps and
mounted the gallows alone.
As the party advanced toward the
scaffold Rev. Cushen threw his arm
over the prisoners shoulder and
walked by his side until he heightened
his steps as he approached the gallows.
AS the moose was adjusted around his
neck and the straps were being bound
around his body Williams remained
passive, but when the sheriff asked
him if he had anything to say slight
tremor passed over his body and he
answered:
Gentlemen, you are witnessing an
illegal hanging. am accused of kill
ing Johnny Keller. He is the best
friend 1 ever had"
The rest of his statement was num-
bled and inaudible, and at this point
Rev. Cushen stepped forward and pro-
nounced the extreme junction.. The
hood was then lowered and at signal
the sheriff pulled the lever.
The three men who were admitted to
the execution at the request of Wilt
ans were John Hilger, L. c. Cole and
Reuben Reynolds. Reynolds was a
friend of Keller's when he was en-
ployed at the Windsor hotel. Besides
these the deputies and jailors and the
death watch were present besides
some guests of the sheriff.
The crime for which William Will
liams paid the penalty of his life up
on the gallows this morning was the
murder of 16-year-old John Keller in
ST. Paul April Is last. The crime was
a double murder, as the boys mother
Mrs. John Keller, was shot at the same
time and died in the city hospital a
week later
