Portland, which was the nearest to
instantaneous death on record.
Harrell, who conducted himself in
the most Indifferent and nonchalant
manner concerning his fate, up to
the last few hours approaching the
end, and reproached Roselair, the
wife-murderer from Washington
county, who was executed at the pen
itentiary yesterday, for being chick
en-hearted," when the time came for
taking his medicine" showed the
greatest weakness of spirit of my
murderer that has been executed at
the state prison, refused to make a
statement on the scaffold, and
groaned like a broken-spirited horse
when the blackcap and moose were
being adjusted. The murder which
he committed was on account of a
pair of shoes, which his victims had
purchased for him, and which pinched
his feet
Harrell was about 40 years of age,
a fine specimen of sturdy manhood,
five feet and half tall and weighing
$50 pounds. Up to the break of day
he maintained his Indifferent mein as
to his approaching fate, but, when
the day of his doom began to break
upon the horizon his spirits began to
fall at the rate of several degrees to
the minute, until the moment of his
execution, when he all but col
lapsed, and would have done so had
not the trap been sprung when it
was. He received baptism yesterday
afternoon, which was administered
by Father Francis, of the Catholic
church, of Grants Pass, and Moore, of
st. Joseph's church, of this city, ami
the holy communion at o'clock this
morning. From the last named hour
he had been in constant communion
with his spiritual advisers up to the
time of the execution.
He declined to make a statement
upon the scaffold, having delegated
that commission to Father Francis,
who stated that the condemned man
was very, very sorry for the crime
which he had committed, and his
sins, and trusted fully in the Lord
for forgiveness for his sins against
God and society" He stepped or
rather was dragged back upon the
trap by the guards, and, while the
cap and moose were being adjusted he
groaned very loudly, and had lost
his nerve entirely. The remains will
be buried in the Catholic cemetery
this evening. This was the fifteenth
execution to have been carried out at
the penitentiary, and it was one of
the most successful, barring the
grewsomeness of the spectacle. of
blood presented, which was in no
wise to be prevented or bargained
with, since the breaking of the spinal
cord was complete and death prac-
tically instantaneous.

crowded to its utmost capacity and
yesterday afternoon It was not only
crowded to overlooking, but the
halls outside were crowded with in
terested spectators. who were ex-
cluded for the lack of room and who
were compelled to content them
selves by listening to such portions
of the arguments as would reach
them from time to time when the
attorneys voices grew loud in the
emphasizing and summing up of
some important portions of the evil
dence.
Defendant Broke Down.
While the defendant, George My
ers, and he is young (25 years Of
age and just blossoming into man
hood) was more or less nervous
throughout all of the proceedings of
the trial, he managed to keep a GRIP
on himself, and remained cool and
collected until the closing of the ar
gumenr, and then he broke down
and cried. One of his counsel, At
torney Darcy, had known him from
the days when he was a little boy,
and he made a powerful plea in his
behalf yesterday afternoon. In the
course of that plea he drew a pic
ture-a word painting of the defen-
dant as he knew him when a boy
and told how he had watched his
career with friendly interest until
the horror came-the tragedy of
October I, when Night Patrolman
Eckhart was killed by his hand;
and 1t was while the attorney
dwelt upon the facts of his early
boyhood life, the facts leading up to
and entering into that tragedy, and
vividly described what a verdict of
guilty by the jury would mean to
his young career, that Meyers broke
down and cried; and stopping over
in his chair until his head rested on
his chest, he covered his eyes with
his handkerchief and remained in
that attitude until the jury passed
out of the room to deliberate on it's
verdict and Sheriff Minto came to
his side to escort him back to his
cell In the jail.
