Transcript.

The sentence of Matthias Martin

Fort Madison before the lawyers,
court officials, the doomed man, and
few friends and followers Of the
case. Capital punishment which was
recommended by the jury sitting IN
the case, was given and the date set
for the execution was September 10,
1915.
Pale but composed Martin O'Don-
nell received his sentence yesterday

their home in Keokuk, says the Fort
Madison Gem City. AS the sentence
was read, O'Donne. paled a trifle
more and his fingers twitched nerv>
ously but no other signs of the ter
rible emotions that must surely burn
within him We're visible. After the
sentence was read he had very little
to say except that he was innocent.
The time having arrived for an
nouncing the sentence, the court stat
ing to the defendant that he had been
indicted of the crime Of murder in
the first degree, to tle indictment he
had entered plea of not guilty, a
jury had rendered a verdict of MUIR
der in the first degree and directed
that he be punished with death; and
the court then asked the defendant II
he had any legal cause to show why
Judgment should not be pronounced
upon him. The defendant stated that
he had nothing to say except that he
was not guilty.
What the Court Said.
The court then spoke, in substance
as follows: This court is now called
upon to perform the most sole.9n ACT
of judicial power which any earthly
Tribunal can exercise. No court ever
though it be, as in the present case
but the announcer of the law, could
without sense of deep responsibility
pronounce the sentence which the
law affixes to the aggravated crime
Of which you have been convicted.
Your case is to be appealed to the
supreme court of the state o. Iowa
which court has power to modify The
judgment herein rendered. In view
Of the fact that the case goes to she
supreme court, I will not add to the
poignancy OF your reflections by
commenting upon the crime with
which you have been charged, it's ma
ture and character, the circum
stances surrounding it, the evidence
produced Of the conduct Of the trial
Sentence 10 Imposed.
i, It is the judgment Of this court that
you, Matthias Martin O'Donnell, be
sentenced to undergo on the third
day of September, in the year Of oul

in it's verdict, and in the manner pro
vided by law; and, as God in Es3 ~
finite wisdom will award you justice
so out Of His infinite compassion WI
He accord you mercy.
The court subsequently entered an
order, as provided by the Statute

the steamer Majestic which early Sat

Edward Wlsher's Account.

Such was the statement OF Capt. D.
Walter Wisherd, president of the
Wisherd Line Steamers company OF
this city, made this morning as he
was preparing to leave on the 10:41
o'clock tx" line train for st. Louis.
The Majestic had tho Alton telephone
girls annual moonlight excursion out
of Alton Friday night, with a crowd
estimated at 1000. The boat had left
Alton, after having discharged the
pass sngers, and was bound for st.
Louis when in passing the Chain OF
Rocks. where new intake pipe is
being constructed, it hit an obstruc-
ton that tore big hole in the hull
and sunk the Majestic in hurry.
Edgar Wisherd at the time of the &C
cid snt was checking up the refresh
ment stand and soda fountain In the
dance cabin. He Immediately rushed
up to the deck above to arouse the
members of the crew who had gone
to bed in tn staterooms on the Texas
deck. Returning to the cabin deck to
get the cash and other valuables in
the purser's office, he found the water
spreading over the floor. Calling to
thu others about him to get life pre-
servers, he went to the rail- and just
in time to escape being caught under
the cabin roof, plunged into the water.
This was H. Edgar Wisherdrs story
told to Captain Wisherd over the tale
phone about 8 o'clock this morning.
He had reached the shore and had in
some way gotten to telephone. With
his clothing still dripping with water.
he called for Quincy to report thu
sinking of the boat.
When the Majestic struck, there
was grinding and ripping of heavy
timbers that led Edgar Wisherd to
think the bow Of the hull had been
crushed. The boat settled on rock.
with water up to the hurricane roof.
