The execution OF Clarence Sturgeon,
a young man convicted of a triple
murder, June IS, 1906. which took
place by hanging in the jail yard in
this city yesterday. was conducted
more decently and more in compli-
ance with the law than some which
have preceded it The witnesses were
much fewer and the spirit of the
statute intended to deprive 1t of the
features of a public hanging was bet
ter respected. Instead of several hun
bred, as at the last executions. three
iof which occurred in 1906 there were
less than fifty. Nevertheless the oc-
casion was not without valuable ar
gument in favor of still more pri-.
vate and humane method of conduct
ing the execution of condemned
criminal. It was great advance in
the line of reform when the present
law was enacted In 1880. requiring ex-
ecutions to take place within the jail
yard in the presence OF but few wit
nesses, instead of being given the
Semblance of fete before q large
crowd of all ages and sexes, where
the victim enjoyed somewhat the ova-
ton of a martyr and the scene had a
demoralizing effect upon the witness
es. The object of capital punishment
is not only to forfeit the life of the
guilty one who takes that Of another,
but to deter others from committing
similar crimes. As civilization has
progressed, the aim has been to elm
mate from the execution all the ele-
ments of torture, such as drawing
and quartering, burning at the stake
and other barbaric ordeals, and to
make the punishment strictly a for
fixture of the life of the guilty as the
penalty of taking that of the victim.
The main object to be attained In vim
dication of the law is the death OF
the condemned by as painless a
method as possible and in the pres
ence of only sufficient witnesses to at
test the execution of the sentence.
The method, first adopted by the
state of New York, of executing GRIM
inals by electrocution within the Jail,
in the presence of few officials, COM
mends itself as best effecting all the
objects of capital punishment instan-
taneously and without pandering to
the prurient curiosity of indiscrimi-
nate witnesses. In the execution of
the condemned prisoner recently,
there was presented strong argumen
in favor of this reform on the score
OF humanity. Instead of instantan-
eous death detailed report states
that from the time the trap fell and
the process of strangulation began
there was lapse of seventeen min
utes before life was extinct in the
body of the victim and the heart
ceased to beat The gIillotine or
the scimitar would be far more hufl
name process for taking life judicial
ly than such strangulation by the hal
ter and it is to be hoped that this in
cident will not be lost to the legisla-
tors who are assembled at Frankfort,
to whose consideration will be sub
mitted a bill providing for the more
humane punishment of capital Of

Terrible Experience of Man
Attacked by Apoplexy
In Lonely Spot.

Stricken with apoplexy while on his
way to attend a Christmas dinner.
Wesley Thomas, of Lewes Cross
Roads, Del, lay in the woods and was
nearly pecked to death by ravenous
buzzards before being found by pas
sersby, after having lain by desert

Thomas, who is about 63 years old,
lives by himself in cabin in the
heart of deep swamps. The loneli-
ness of the man reused the sympathieS
Of his nearest neighbors, five miles
away, and they invited him to attend
their Christmas dinner. The dinner
was prepared and Thomas had not ap-
peared- For nearly an hour the hun
CRY family awaited his coming, and
finally sat down to their turkey and
cranberries, with a plate at the va
cant place, expecting every moment
for him to put in his appearance.
Night came and still Thomas had not
arrived.
At 1880 next morning Clay Truitt,
who was out cunning, noticed large
flock of buzzards flying around. The
peculiar squawks of the buZzards con-
WINGED Truitt that something was
wrong On making an investigation,
he was Mortified to find Thomas lying
near a ditch totally helpless and in an
unconscious state as a result of his
terrible experience. His face and neck
were fearfully lacerated, and blood
flowed freely from the numerous
wounds made by the sharp talons of
the hungry scavengers. 1t was only
after a severe battle with the buzzards,
in which he himself was attacked,
that Truitt managed with the aid of
his gun to beat the hungry birds from
the PROSTATE form of the man. Thomas
Is now confined at the home of George
Wfllets, and expected not to recover.

MIDNIUnI MURDER
AT FORT BARRANcAS:
MURDERER CAPTURED
Sergeant Oscar Calling Shot
Four Times by jim Hart, 4
A Negro.
THE SERGEANT WAS EVIDENTLY
GOING TO MAKE HIS MIDNIGHT
REPORT ON THE 10Th CON-
PANY, WHEN HE WAS SHOT
CAPTURED AT 8 O'CLOCK.

Sergeant Oscar Calling, of the
twentieth Company of the Coast Ar
tIlIery, was murdered at Fort Bar
rancas at midnight last night. Jim
Hart, a negro, who Is charged with
having committed the murder, made
his escape as the sentry at the post
ran to the point whence the reports
of a gun--four in rapid succession
were heard, and is still at large.
The news of the murder reached
the city about O'Clock this morning
by telephone to the police station,
the officers requesting the police to
assist in capturing the murderer,
who it is believed made his way tow
ards Pensacola.
The Shooting.
Sergeant Calling, who had been in
the city, left Pensacola on the IL
o'clock car for Fort Barrancas. Upon
his arrival there he went to the quar-
ters of the Twentieth Company and
there made an inspection of the alb
sent men. AS was customary he
then started for the quarters of the
sergeant of the guard to make his re-
port In doing so he was compelled
to pass near the laundry building.
1t was there that the murderer was
secreted. Four shots in rapid sue
cession were heard by the setinel on
duty who rushed to the laundry build
ing. As he neared the point he saw
a negro running, whom he believes
was Jim Hart, and upon getting closer
ne discovered Sergeant Calling lying
upon the ground. He Immediately
sounded the alarm, and the post ply
stefan was summoned. 1t was evil
dent that death had been instantan-
eous, however, as life was extinct
when the surgeon arrived. Two or
more OF the bullets had passed
through the lungs.
No Cause for Murder.
No, reason is known for the muir
der. 1t was stated over the telephone
this morning that the sergeant was
formerly in charge of the post laun-
dry, where the wife OF Hart was en-
ploysd. and that it is probable that
the negro took offense at something
which occurred at that time.
Police Active.
Captain Daw was notified shortly
before o'clock of the murder, and
Immediately took steps to arrest Hart
should he come to Pensacola. Two Of
icers were placed to guard the county
bridge and railway trestle, two more
were sent to the Perdido trest1e, and
two others on the hard road leading
from the head of the lagoon, while the
captain himself went out to the head
