.HANGMAN MEETS
MYSTERIOUS end
Man Who Executed Haymarket
Rioters H0unded to Lonely
Death by Anarchists.
ODD CHAIN OF FATALITIES

Mason City, Iowa, June 19.-Hound-
ed for seventeen years by the repeat
ed death threats of anarchists from
every part of the civilized world, Wis
tied at last by the same CHASTITY fatali-
ty that has inflicted a like mysterious
end in the same vicinity upon two of
his fellow officers Of the notorious
Haymarket riots year ago, D. w.
Nickerson, formerly resident of Chi
cago, the man who hanged the Hay
market rioters, was found dead near
here in his country home.
The inquest, which the son of the
dead man demanded, revealed cir
cumstances no different from those
which attended the death of his two
fellow officers in this same county
three years ago. After making tests
fer the most virulent and elusive poi
sons known to science, the coroner re-
turned for third time in this remark
able chain Of condolences the verdict
of death by apoplexy.
At the time of the HaymarlIet riots,
where Nickerson as deputy sheriff
was the eXecutioner, S. F. Hanchett
was the sheriff, and w. H. Gleason
the chief clerk of Cook county. All
of these men had country homes in
Floyd county, Iowa, where Niclerson
died. Both of the other men were
found dead within three days Of each
other, and the coroner returned the
same verdict Of apoplexs
Nickerson left Chicago in 1892 for
the West. He was already the object
of hundreds of threatening letters on
account of his work the year before.
He bought a home in Floyd county
and struggled there TO lose his mem.
cries and evade the persecution OF
the anarchists.
On the evening prior to his death
he had read his paper and at about
o'clock retired. At $50 o'clock next
morning Charles Miles went to his
room and found him dead
Mr.. Nickerson was genial, affable
man, and made friends of the entire
community.

to keep Mrs. Kaufman from serving
any time in any kind of cell, but it
| wanted an acquittal, and the disap-
| pointment of the Kaufmanns was
shown when the husband Of the de-
PENDANT hung his head upon the read

displayed no emotion whatever
With the charge made by the court
the jury could have found the accused
guilty Of either murder in the first
or second degree, or manslaughter in
the first or second degree, or assault
and battery.

sion was reversed and new trial Or
