tho murder of Iholr aged undo, Peter
A, Llaflenbcck. Tho fow persona that
will be admitted within tho prleon walls
to witness the state executoltiivottgeance
for the cold-blooded murder of one of lln
c'tlxsns will see three brothers, the
youngest sccarcoly twenty-one, pass, one
after the other, to that teat in the grim
engine of death. First ono of the
brothers will bo led out, and, after re
ceiving the rites, will be placed in the
chair and shocked Into eternity, wall
tho other two, humanely prevented from
witnosiing his death throes, will await
their places in tho grim procotslon.
Today thj wnrdon and his assistants
got every thing in readiness for the triple

apparatus in order to mako euro that

hour arrlvos. Tho condemned youths
sptnt tho day much in tho samo way
that they have passed tho many days of
tholr conflnomerit in prison, A quiet
stolid reserve has boon glvm way to tho
flippant manner affected by the boys in
tho earlier days of tholr Imprisonment,
bnt their courage evidently has not de
ertod thorn. Tho authorities expect all
of thorn to moot death calmly. They
embraced tho Uatholtc religion aomo
