Nortleet offered up a brief prayer for the soul of the condemned man. Intense silence pre- vailed. Nota sound, nor a breath was to be heard. Sheriff Hornbeck was cool, calm and deliberate, though his face showed intense anguish. Turlington was calm and brave and betrayed but little excitement. He was dressed in a black Prince Albert coat, black pants and vest and a white shirt and necktie. The drop fell at precisely 15 min- utes after 10 o'clock. Death was in- stantaneeus and there was hardly a tremor visible in the face or body. GAME TO THE LAST. With a fixed frown he looked straigbt abead of him. The court yard was possessed of the stillness of death. Nothing but the drop- ping of the water from the eaves could be heard. Turlington seemed to be listening to the dripping wa- tere. Then the black cap went over his head and the minister, standing in front of the black figure, asked: “Do you believe in the Father and in the Son?” From beneath the Hood came the firm answer, “I do.” “Then may God bless you and have mercy on you,” said the minis- ter. Then the two repeated the Lord’s prayer slowly and impress- ively. Every word came as distinct- ly from beneath the black cap as from the minister's lips. At the word Amen” the drop fell. The black body turned around sev- eral times as the rope twisted, and the corner, took charge and in eigh- teen minutes Turlington’s heart ceased to beat He had no friends to claim his remains and the body will be buried in the potter's field.

There was not a stir or move Mr. Murt,! was when his daughter created a sen sation by deserting her husband the day after her marriage. The young woman subsequently went on the strage. Mr. Armstrong was fond of attending thetheatre. I often saw him in public places. His resmblance to the assasin cf Lincoln was cer- tainly remarkable, he even having a gua shot wound in his leg and the scar on his neck.
