HE WAS ELECTROCUTED
Bat Shea Paid the Death
Penalty Yesterday.
DEATH WAS INSTANTANEOUS
Altering Receiving the Last Sacrament.
Bj Declared Bis Innocence The
Midland Congress.
Dannemoba, N. Y., Feb. 11. Murder
er Bat Shea was executed at the prison
at 9 :5S this morning.
Bartholomew Shea died in the electric
al chair, paying the penalty for the
murder of Robert Boss, at Troy, in
March, 1894. Shea was attended to the
gallows by a clergyman from bis home
and a priest from the Roman Catholic
church at this place. After receiving
the last sacrament Shea declared he was
innocent. While the priest read the
first voltage was turned on. It was 9 :55
when Shea entered the room and 9 :59?
when he was pronounced dead. The
current sent the body lightly against the
straps. The ' neck and bared leg grew
purple. For 31 seconds the contact was
maintained and then reduced to a light
voltage for 31 seconds, when the current
was turned off.
There was an escape of air from the
filled lungs and Ransom ordered the
current on again. A contact of 27 sec
onds was maintained and then the steth
oscope tailed to show any life. The es
cape of air from the lungs sounded like
a prolonged sign, and made some people
think there was life, but the physicians
said death was instantaneous.

Brave Indian Fighter Found Dead.
Chicago, Feb. 11. Casius E. Carter,
a retired sergeant of the United States
army, was found dead last night in his
room in the Palmer house. Death was
caused by asphyxiation, but it is not
thought he committed suicide. One gas
jet in the room was turned on full and
anothe.- at half pressure. In a belt worn
by Carter around his waist there was
$1,400. He also had some valuable jew
elry. How the gas came to be turned
on is a mystery, as it is supposed Carter
was acquainted with its use. No motive
for self-destruction is apparent and the
case is one which Coroner McHale will
make a thorough investigation of.
-L.ast ween a man Irom .reoria was
found dead in h'is room under exactly
the same circumstances. The coroner's
jury returned a veidict of accidental
death.
Carter had the distinction of having
served 23 years with the 7th cavalry,
General Custer's old regiment. He par
ticipated in a dozen engagements with
hostile Indians and earned a record as a
brave soldier on the frontier. He was
honorably discharged from the 6th regi
ment at Fort- Meyer, Va., last July and
since has been traveling. He arrived in
Chicago Sunday night from Albuquer
que. About 9 o'clock he entered the
Palmer house and engaged a room. He
told the clerk he was on his way to
Washington, looking for a man who had
extorted money from him. Carter was
in the rotunda until 11 o'clock, when he
went to his room. He told the clerk he
did not want to be called. There was no
suspicion of anything wrong until the
chambermaid failed to get an answer to
her vigorous knocking on the door of
Carter's room. One of the porters was
called, and upon opening the transom a
flood of eras poured into the corridor.
On entering the room he found Carter
dead. .Life bad been extinct tor several
hours. - -.

The Georgia University graduates gave
a good performance last night at the
lyceum to a fall house, one of the fea
tures being the singing ot the Suanee
River quartette, which was considered
the best quartette that has ever visited
Duluth. The minstrelsy was clean and
neat and contained less objectional
matter ' than moet shows of the kind.
Pub. Watkins, the ventriloquist, was
the best we ever saw. There are some
very clever dancers among the company.
On the whole, they gave the best min
strel ehow we have attended in a long
time. From Duluth News, Sept. 4th.
