P ortland , Jan. 31.—Jack Wade and William Dalton suffered the wages of sin on the gallows in the court house yard this morning. Both traps were sprung at the same moment, 7 :57, and life was pronounced extinct at 8 :14. Dalton’s neck was broken by the fall, while Wade’s agonies were frightfully prolonged owing to strangulation. His face after death presented a horrible I sight, splotched with blood patches and ‘ generally distorted, while Dalton’s coun- ( tenance was calm and peaceful. Both men met death with remarkable calm- | ness, so much so that the expected hor­ ror of such a spectacle was almost en ' tirely wanting. In response to Sheriff Frazier’s brief announcement that Dal­ ton would say a few words, the con­ demned man spoke up with an earnest appeal to young men to lead better lives and accept Christianity. His voice was clear and hardly a tremor was notice­ able. He gestured freely and raised his eyes to heaven in an attitude of absolute faith with his Maker. He read from the Bible Psalm twenty-three. During Dal­ ton’s impassioned exhortations his fel­ low in crime, Wade, showed the utmost indifference both to Dalton’s words and the presence of death. He smiled and nodded to people in the enclosure and clasped his hands in token of greeting to people he recognized. He j felt of the rope over his head, examined the hangman’s knot and smiled at it playfully. After Dalton finished his | speech Wade said : “You may think I | am happy, but I am not. You may fol­ low Dalton, but what I say, I mean. I have seen enough of this life.” An at­ tending clergyman then offered prayer, the black caps were adjusted and as the Sheriff proposed to have the drop sprung | that launched them into eternity Wade said, “Good bve-boys,” “Good-bye Jack,’’ muttered Dalton, “Good-bye Billy,’’ returned Wade promptly. Just then the trap was sprung, the bodies of the murderers shot down through the opening, and the wanton murder of James Morrow was avenged. Max. Sf.MMAKV — Mean temp., 42.7 temp., 62.0; date, 11th.
