A WELL CONDUCTED EXECUTION The Doomed Han Exhibits Much For titude, Hakes No Statement and Dies a Painless Death. Bright) skies, and warm sun and breeze yesterday seemed to say that the cleric of the weather had at last relented, and that spring In truth had come. ' Outside the county Jail, within the enclosure Sheriff Smith, and his depu. ties were early at work testing the dif ferent parts of the apparatus to be used in carrying out the sentence of death pronounced on John Hansen for the murder of his wife on July 26th, 1893. A bag of sand weighing ITS pounds was attached ta the rope to be used and repeatedly dropped through the trap In order to test the strength, and take the stretch" out of the rope so that the fall of the condemned could be calculated ta a nicety. A battery ap plied an electrlo current to a device similar to the horse unhltchers used In our fire engine houses, which, upon the button being pressed, released a weight which In failing, by means of a wire rope attached, drew the bolt which up held the trap. Within the Jail Hansen calmly awaited his fate. He had re tired early the evening before, and slept soundly, waking but once, about 2 a.m. He arose arxut 8 o ciock anu ate a good breakfast consisting of five eggs, coffee and rolls. ' At 8 o'clock his son Victor arrived and remained until shortly before the end. The Rev. Mr. Short arrived at t o'clock and during the intervening hours ad. ministered words of spiritual consola. tlon exhorting him to put his trust In God alone. At 11:65 the Jail doors were opened and Hansen, with Sheriff Smith and Deputy Dell Mooer on either side, and followed by Mr. Short, emerged, He walked with a firm, .strong, steady step to the gallows, ascended the steps, and stepped upon the trap, then looked down and placed his feeb as near the center of it as he could judge. Mr. Short then read the customary service, ending with "and may the Lord have mercy on your soul," at Hie conclusion of which the straps binding hs hands and feet were quickly adjusted, Han. sen smilingly remarking "take your time,," the block cap was then drawn over his face, the noose slipped over his head, and at 11:69, Just as a violent trembling Indicating speedy collapse seized him, some one touched the but ton, the trap fell, and he shot down ward. The execution was a perfect suc cess, at least from a hangman's point of view, the far of seven feet breaking his neck and rendering death painless. Drs. Jansen and Mulllnix were In at tendance and pronounced life extinct at 12:19, when the body was cut down and placed In a coffin to be turned over to Victor Hansen, his son. The gallows and rope were the same that were used in the execution of John Relter last year, Relter having one end of the rope and Hansen the other. TO MAKE THE CIRCUIT. San Francisco, May 18.
