THE MY OF DOOM
Polcr Sullivan Dies On Tho
Gallows Tor tho Murder
of John Bronkeo.
Docs Not Complain or Murmur At Ills
.-ate.
THINKS IMS SINS IIAVUIIIiUN l'OKOIVKN
Friday afternoon Peter Sullivan
was executed as per sentence paw
cd Uvon him last September by the
judge of the circuit court of Grant
countv.
The crime for which Peter Sulli
van wns tried nnd convicted, was
that of murder, committed in tho
enrly morning of tho first dny of
Inst April. John Uronkee wns kill
ed in his enbin on Pino creek n few
miles enst of here, the enbin being
occupied only by Hronkee nnd Sul
livan, the hitter being much the
stronger man. Sullivan, after hav
ing committed the deed, repaired to
n neighbor's house nnd stated that
there was a "dead Dutchman up
the creek," and that he had killed
him. lie stated that the deceased
had made an assault upon him, nnd
that for self preservation ho had
shot him. Sullivan then came to
town ami surrendered himself to
tho authorities. A coroner's in
quest established the fact that the
victim had been shot onoe in the
center of the back with n Winches
ter, and had two other wounds
about tho breast and side. Evi
dence went to show that ho had
been lying on his bed upon his side
with his face toward the wall, and
wns evidently asleep when shot in
tho spine. Therefore, at the con
clusion of the preliminary examin
ation before Justice of tho Peace,
N. Hulison, Sullivan was held with
out bail to appear before tho noxt
grand jury, which, according to ev
idence in their hands, indicted him
for murder in the first degree. The
case was tried at tho September
term of circuit court Tor Grant coun
ty, District Attorney Hand, nnd M.
D. Clifl'ord prosecuting. S. S. Den
ning was appointed bv the court to
defend tho prisoner. Insanity wns
the extenuating cflort made in be
half of the accused, and the onlv
plea for lenity which could have
tempered tho decree of justice.
This failed, however, to bear the
test, anil the jury's verdict wan that
of "guilty as charged in the indict
ment." Judge I son pronounced tho
sentence that ho bo hanged Novem
ber loth. Prior to passing hentenee
Sullivan was asked if ho bad any
thing to say, and replied that his
"life wns a misery to him," and
that he "preferred to have it over
with as enrly as possible."
Shortly before two o'clock this fa
tal afternoon the priHoner,!iH8islod by
Slierill' Gray nnd deputy Fnds,
mounted the scnflbld. When ask
ed if bo desired to make any state
ment his only reply was to "show
respect to bis body." His limbs
wero pinioned and the bhu k cap
adjusted, and at precisely 2:01 the
drop was sprung. Tho knot slip
lied around under the victim's chin,
and the horrible contortions of the
body were discernable for eight
minutes. At the cud of nineteen
minutes Drs. Orr anil Pruden pro
nounced life extinct, and after hang
ing twenty-eight minutes the rope
was cut and tho body lowered and
placed in a coffin, and convoyed to
its last placo of rcposo on the hill
without a friend to shed a tear over
his departure. So ended the enrth
ly enreer of tho second murderer
executed by tho slierill' of' Grant
county within a period of seven
months.
From the time of his sentence till
a few days prior to his execution,
Sullivan appeared in good spirits,
the least of his troubles lieing his
approaching doom. Hut his de
portment tho last two or three days
of his life, evidenced a troubled con
science and rontlc&a spirit. Foeling
the dread hour of death approach
ing with eternity nnd all iu uncer
tainty about to dawn up ai his guil
ty soul, his rest at night wns nro
ken and his food often remained
uutastcd. Kev. Mr. ICada, and oth
er leligintis men were then called to
his side for religious counsel, and
all the bravado which had marked
his career had vanished. A short
time before the hour of his execu
tion he informed u Nkws repoiter
that he bad lepunted of hii evil
deeds and felt himself forgiven;
that for tho pant three yenm life
had been a misery lo him, and ho
had no rest. Ho wns satisfied with
the result of his lute trial, and
preferred hanging to life imprison
ment. No mention was made of
the man whose soul he had hurled
into eternity.
