They were visited in the cell this moimins and found standing in ihe middle cell, chained by the ancles to the floor, with haads joined and preying. Younger said that the last words he would say now, and upon ‘the gallows, were that he had nothing to do with the killing ot Shepard, and that he was willing to go, for God knew he was innocent. The other two alsoprotested their innocence of everything connected with the crime. When King and Evans were «ask- ed why they had previously confes— incarciation ot sed their guilt and implicated Youne- the shot, they said they did so because they had been led to believe that if they eras the one who fired did the governor would interfere in their behalf.

They had lied when they confessed themselves guilty, but they would te!l no he to- { day. : Evans said: Tam got to die tor what die. I warn’t with the crowd, and don’t know nothing about it. White clothes were tied over their faces, and they began to pray in droning tones, and expressed a will- ingness to die, saying they were go- ingto God. The sheriff then bade them good-bye and they bade fare- well to all. The trigger was pulled put they failed to tall. The de ect, however, was soon remedied, and at 12:21 the trap was sprung, and instantly they fell over six feet. : Younger’s neck was broken and he did not struggic.
