MURDERER BREAKS ROPE.
After Falling Through the Trap He Is
 Again Hanged.

Indiana, Pa, August 27.-The first hanging in this county for more than twenty years took place here today, and was not success. The victim of the law was Carmine Renzo, aged 45 years and weighing 175 pounds. The weight of the man and the drop of five feet proved too much for the strength of the rope, which snapped when the trap was sprung, precipitating Renzo to the ground. The jail attendants hurriedly loosened the rope around his neck, while others adjusted a new rope to the scaffold, and the man, already half dead, was carried to the platform and the lever again sprung. This time the execution was successful.
 Renzo murdered his sweetheart, Marian Bearno, aged 15, at her home. two years ago. It had been agreed that Renzo should marry the girl, pro- viding he paid the passage of herself and parents to this country. He did this, and when the girl refused to wed him he shot her.

 Governor Conner has pardoned J. D. William of Bibb county. who, in 1899. killed a man named Thomas Nicholson because of an effort to invade his home. Of the case the governor says: This murder was committed in defense of his wife and his home. It Is questionable If justice did not miscarry In his convic- tfon." All his civil and political rights were restored.
 Another pardon granted is to James and Isaac Paradise of Jackson county, two young fellows who killed a man named George Towers in 1901 and were given ten years each for it. They have served nearly six years and, as they have fine record and their release Is urged by the solicitor and judge and the pardon board. the governor thought they had been punished enough and was willing to give them a new try for life. Both have been trusties for some time, one in charge of the dogs at the farm and the other lineman.
