EAGER TO SEE HANGING.

Howling and yelling for admit
lance, a morbid crowd of 1000 per-
sons broke down toe fence that sur
rounded the Baltimore County jail
at Towson, Md, shortly after day
break yesterday morning to witness
the hanging of a murderer. Marion
Deems, slayer of Miss Laura M
Schaefer, a deaf mute school-teach-
err, walked to the gallows and met
his death with utter indifference at
5:22 o'clock in the morning in the
yard of the Jail. The hanging was at
tended with much disorder on the
part of those who stormed the high
wooden Enclosure around the scat
fold. The mob was as if on an out
ing, on pleasure bent, inspired only
by morbid curiosity to. see man
hanged.
