n
LINCOLN, May 1e-Thomas Johnson to-
day gave his life for the murder of Henry
FARMLAND, committed in Omaha october
49, 1909. The trap fell at 21Sh this after
noon and the negro was pronounced dead
at 2:N. Six minutes after the trap fell
the negro's pulse was beating at 100 and
two minutes later at only 126.
Johnson left the solitary cell at 2:os &C
companied on either side by two guards,
John McNeal and Thomas Copely. He
walked firmly across the prison yard, dis
playing no nervousness.
When he entered the gallows house he
cast but a brief glance at the crowd and
then mounted UP without the assistance
Of either Of the guards To Ollie jackson,
local colored Christian worker, he turned
and, shaking hands, said, Goodbye, meet
me in heaven"
AS his hat was taken off and the death
cap was being fitted to his head he began
muttering prayers, continuing DO until the
fall
At about 100 or ten minutes before It
had been arranged to hold the hanging
Oils jackson, who had long been a friend
OF the condemned man, appeared and
asked leave to see Johnson He went into
his cell and remained about twenty five
minutes talking. most Of the time about
the religious condition OF the man. After
coming out Jackson declared that his
friend had appeared very calm and that
he was not thinking Of the event with any
fear. He evaded my question. however,
when asked II he had committed the
crime, by saying that he had fixed all Of
that" said the colored preacher.
The negro ate a hearty dinner at IL:
and enjoyed one Of his usual smokes after
ward He spent most OF the time during
the morning singing and praying, occa-
! sionally stopping to ask his day watch II
he thought II was going TO rain
More than $50 persons saw the hanging
including Sheriff Bradley Of Douglas
county. ex-warden Smith and other vlsi-
Warden Delehunty.

The crime for which johnson was con-
victed was committed October IS, Ne,
Henry FARMLAND. the victim, was found
dying under the viaduct near the Union
station at Omaha with his throat cut.
Frankland was q cook on his way from
Belle FOurche, 8. D., to his home IN Chi
cago. where he expected TO 80 into the
teaming business. He was known TO be a
man Of sober habits and particularly averse
to negroes. This led his relatives and
especially his stepsOn. 3. A Gilbert. who
came to Omaha 70 take the body OF the
murdered man home for burial. 20 believe
that FARMLAND was drugEed before being
robbed and assaulted.
A watch found in the possession OF the
negro and which was identified by Gilbert
as his stepfatheTs timspiece was a strong
chain of the evidence against the black
man. Conflicting stories as to how he
came to have the watch led Johnson into
deep water at the trial and served to clincf
several other points against him.
Several attempts were made TO Obtain

William F. Stolley,
Pioneer, is Dead
Man Who Did Much to Help Settle
Western Nebraska Passes
Away.

GRAND ISLAND, Neb., May 1s-(Spe-
cisl.)-William f. Stolley. a pioneer resi-
dent Of Hall county. well known to many
Of the older settlers In other portions of
Nebraska, died last night at the age of
SO years The funeral will take place sun
day afternoon at the farm home, his
original "squatter's claim" as laid out in
1857,
MIR. Stoley assisted in>the organization
OF the colony of Germans at Davenport
Ia, in the summer of 1857, which located
Grand Island and placed stakes and I'M
furled the flag here on July 4 of that year
In the early years of the conquest Of the
wilderness he often played leading and
important parts.
He often spoke interestingly of the diff
cuties that presented themselves in rather
rapid succession in those early days, and
especially of the trouble encountered in
securing governmental aid after the grass
hopper scourges He undertook this work
and was compelled to battle against the
contention, in congress, that this section
of Nebraska could never be made profita-
bly, inhabitable by the white man. He
held in appreciative memory the help
given him at the time by the late ex-
Governor Crounse. and by General Ord.
ne not only uld Dattle with the conten-
ton Of the time that nothing would grow
in Nebraska, but opttmistically claimed
that everything would grow here and his
life's work was, in a way, to demonstrate.
His home claim now contains a park and
orchards covering thirty-five acres and It
is a veritable park so pronounced a sue
cess in Nebraska forestry, in fact as to
draw forth the compliments Of ex-Presi-
dent Roosevelt when the latter, some years
ago, on a horseback ride here, was taken
through the grove. He leaves his widow,
eight children and many grandchildren.
He was a native OF Germany, born In
Schleswig- Holstein. A brother, at the age
Of 90, resident of Texas, survives him, as
also another brother In Germany, and a
sister in this city. He il believed to hold
the record as school board director, having
served forty consecutive years.
