(Special to The Evening Review).
SALEM, Ur., Inc. 13. Tim verdict
of the people of Oregon expressed on
November r last, sustaining the law
of capital punishment, was carried
out at the state penitentiary, litis
morning, when Tour murderers, II. 10.
Roberts, Mike Morgan, Noble Fauld
er and Frank Carrison, went to tlielr
death on the gallows.
The quadruple execution orcupied
less than an hour's lint" and pas-d
nit without a hitch. 'Faulder and
Carrison were shot through the
death trap at 11:40 o'clock and Rob
erts and .Morgan were hanged at
12:20 o'clock. In each case th? con
demned man's neck was broken by
the fall. Nearly 100 persons wit
nessed the hanging, (lovernor West
was not present. Roberts. Morgan
and Faulder died without a whimper,
but Garrison displayed considerable
emotion, though, like the others, he
mounted the scaffold with firm steps.
It. K. Lawsuit, the newly nppointed
superintendent of the penitentiary,
avoided the unpleasant duty of
springing Uie death trap. lie as
signed this work to Wat den llergen
and (!uard Snodgrass, who obeyed
without protest. Three doctors were
present to pronounce death.
Carrison Excited, Faultier Calm.
Garrison had prepared n speech
which he expected to deliver on the
gallows, but when the time arrived
he nhandoned the plan, much to the
relief of the spectators. He and
Knulder coolly assisted the guards In
! adjusting the nooses about their
necks.
"1 want to say," shouted Garrison,
"lhat I did not commit the crime of
which I waa convicted. False wit
nesses were " here his voice broke,
and chokingly, he continued:
"I have prepared a statement
which Is to be given to the press.
My God, not so tight," Garrison cried
when the nooso was securely fast
ened. Then the trap was sprung. At
ii.uo one or the three doctors said
"they are dead," and their bodies
were cut down and placed in coffins.
Faulder died like a stoic. Before
bidding everybody goodbye, he re
marked calmly, "Hanging will never
cure crime. You must get at the
root of evil." Faulder was the only
one of the four condemned men who
slept last night, the others spending
their time in pacing their cells like
caged nnimals.
Morgan Accepts Religion.
When Roberts and Morgan ap
peared they were preceded by Father
Moore, a Catholic priest, chanting n
reiiulem. Moth of the condemned
men displayed Iron nerve. Roberts
hailed the guards In the prison yard
and shouted "So long, fellows." On
, the scaffold Roberts made a rambling
statement declaring the officers had
hounded him and that he hadn't got
a square deal.
Morgan, who spent most of last
night In prayer and announced his
readiness to die, did not speak on
the gallows. Father Moore made a
statement for him, saying he killed
his victim in self-defense and stories
that Morgan killed his grandfather In
indluhn and a man In Willows, Cal.,
are false.
After confessing to Fnther' lloore
last night and accepting the Catholic
faith, Morgan declared his sIhb were
forgiven and that he would go
straight to heaven after his death,
lis religion, however, did not have
a soothing effect on him, as he was
unable to sleep a wink.

time at the capltol yesterday. Dur
ing tue forenoon the Governor was
bombarded by u delegation from
Portland pleading for the condemned
'men, and all afternoon he was
! closeted with similar delegations. To
(the last us to the first his answer was
'that the people hud signified their
I wishes with relation to capital pun
j ishmeut in their vote at the last elec
tion on the bill to abolish it, and that
he would carry out their wishes. As
an additional reason he gave it as his
opinion that the hanging of four men
fifth, John M. Taylor, yesterday
morning would hasten the abolish
ment of hanging in this state.
Itefore the meeting was over there
wore scenes of hysteria among some
of the women. With tears streaming
down her face and her arms out
stretched, Frances C. H. lirolhjcan.
an artist of -Portland, recently from
Germany, ran across the room to the
Governor, full on her knees before
him and prayed with emotion to
spare the lives of the condemned
men.
Tears sprang Into the eyes of the
women and many of them sobbed
audibly as this dramatic scene was
being enacted. The Governor at
tempted to sooth her as best he
could, while other women mingled
their pleas with here.
After listening to the protests by
the petitioners, who declared that
there l,b no moral justification for
taking human life, and who expressed
the belief that the women voters
would reverse the decision of the
male voters as expressed November
it last, the Governor declared that If
these men do not suffer the punish
ment dictated by the electorate of the
stnte, abolition of capital puuishmeut
will be set back in this stnte for n
quarter of n century. Governor West
declared that he had devoted every
energy to secure the abolishment of
the law providing for hanging. The
qualified electorate of the state, he
snid, had voted otherwise and he de
clared that it was his firm purpose to
abide by the expression of their wish.
Thive Others Sentenced to Ic.
There are still three other men
under sentence of death in Oregon.
They are George and Charles
Humphrys, convicted of the atrocious
murder of an nged woman at Philo

Frank S. Garrison, sent from Coos
County, was tried twice for the mur
der of Roy Per kills, being convicted
the last time December 2 G, 1911. He
was sentenced to be hanged February
9, 1912. His crime was considered
a particularly atrocious one, as his
victim was an old man, and, after
killing him, Garrison dragged the
body down to the bay and sunk it In
the waters. He was convicted and
sentenced by the lower court, on his
first trial, but his case was reversed
by the Supreme Court, It being held
that a confession made by Garrison
was secured under duress.
Garrison and Perkins were en
gaged in clam digging and similar
occupations. They had a quarrel
about money matters while at Sum
ner, and Perkins started for Mursh
field. Garrison followed him nnd
Perkins was never seen again. Gar
rison was suspected and put In jail
nnd later the body of Perkins was
found In the bay, it having been
weighted down with rocks tied to the
feet and head.
Garrison was tried, found guilty
nnd sentenced to be bunged, but when
the matter was taken to the Supreme
Court the case was remanded for a
second trial. It was alleged by the
attorneys for Garrison that while he
confessed to the murder that the
confession wns obtained when he was
frightened by City Marshal Carter
and n man named Graham who acted
as detective in the ease. It was al
leged that Garrison wns told that he
was liable to by lynched by the peo
ple and that undtr these "third de
gree" methods the confession was
drawn from him. The new trial was
granted on these grounds.
Garrison hod a long criminal rec
ord behind him nnd had served four
penitentiary terms. J
Clock at lllirbt. Mitrcnn a'lvu tli.ir It
I was the only trouble that he and
: iom ever had, nnd that nUer the
deed was committed he could not
sleep In the camp and next morning
.arose early- and departed with a
; wagon aifd team, only to be later ar
rested at Glendale, eight days after
the crime. After being in jail at
Grants Pass three days, Morgan confessed.

The case of Koherts Is notorious.
One night at the end of March he
made un attempt to hold up an auto

The arrest of the murderer soon
followed. When examined in Jail by
doctors, he confessed to them that
he had done the shooting. Prior to
the murder he was incarcerated In
the penitetitinry at Walla Walla and
at Salem.
Roberts' conduct since his incarer
ation In the penitentiary has been
such as might have been expected
from his bad record as a criminal,
for he lost no opportunity of cursing
all who came near him. lie said
yesterday ho was going to hell to
shovel brimstone for officials of the
penitentiary and Sheriff Stevens of
Multnomah County, whom he holds
responsible for him downfall. He
added:
"It would bo just as well for mo
to be dead as to be serving a sen
tence of 99 yenrs In the State Peni
tentiary. Hut if I refused to accept
my reprieve that would be the same
as a suicide. I think suicide Is about
the worst crime a man can commit."
FAl'MtKK fJAMK TO LAST.
Noble Faulder, who killed Louis
Gilbert nt Klarfinth Falls because he
believed Gilbert had killed his dog,
took the situation calmly and died
game. Faulder declared yesterday
that he would rather die on the gal
lows than associate with convicts nt.
the penitentiary, whom ho regarded
as much Inferior to him. Fmilder's
parents reside In Now Zealand and
are rich, and while hanging may havi
seemed dlstaleful to him the subject
he has grumbled about most was his
Itunrters under the same roof that
shelters ordinary criminals.
