A HANGING AT FORT “Bood Compton Dies For the Murder of His Friend, Ft. Smith, Compton, June 30.—Boudinet Bood Dorr, was hanged by the United States author- ites in the jail yard here this morn- ing. At an early hour the condemn- ed man was shaved and dressed in a new suit of clothes. Relatives call- alias ,ed and bade him good bye and at 10 o’clock the death warrant was read | to the prisoner in his cell. About 200 people witnessed the hangins. Compton made a state- ment on the gallows, saying that | whiskey had brought him to his» present condition. He warned those present, when they took a glass of liquor, to look into it and they would see the hangman's noose. He pro- tested his innocence to the last, say- ing that his enemies had sworn his: life away, and that the real murderer would some day be apprehended. His spiritual adviser, the Rev. Mr. Williams, pastor of the M. E. chureh, read a few verses from the New Test- ament and offered a fervent prayer for the doomed man. The black cap was adjusted and at 10:23 the trap was sprung. The | Victim's neck was broken, and in SiX minutes the attending physician pronounced life extinct. The body | was taken down and placed in a cheap pine coffin. The relatives then took charge of the body and will inter it at Braggs. I. 'T., in the fam- ily burying ground.
