THE LAV SATISFIED
John Hansen Pays the Penalty
of His Crime.
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.
