Weekly Eugene Guard The effect of a single execution on convicts in a large prison is well known. They grow morose and sul leu, and guards are doubled and trebled everywhere. The effect of a triple killing was plainly noticable at Dannemora, New York, the other day, when the three brothers met death in the electric chair within halt an hour, for the murder of their uncle. They riiowed their resentment in mauy small ways, but the most remarkable outbreak occurred at noon, when a gang of some fifty long term men, marching along an upper tier, saw the witnesses leaving the death house. Instantly they set up the most hideous shrieking, chilling the very blood of the already wrought- up civilians. It was with difficulty that they were checked by the keeper.
