Resigned to death after rejection of the appeals for clemency, the broth- ers walked silently to the gallows where they stood back to back as the nooses were placed over their heads. “It's too tight, I can’t pray” com- plained Daniel shortly before the traps were sprung simultaneously at 11:06 a, m.

The same ropes used for the execution lowered the coffin into a grave in the prison yard, 50 yards from their cell. The brothers were convicted of kill- ing Phillip Lake, 30-year-old woods- man living near Pacific Junction, N. B. The crown charged the Ban- nister brothers were responsible for Lake's death during the abduction of his four-months-old daughter last January, Mrs. May Bannister, their mother, wanted the baby to aid in an alleged extortion plot against two men who, the crown charged, were under moral obligation to her.

Mrs. Bannister, was convicted of harboring the stolen child and was sentenced to serve three and one-half years in the penitentiary.
