Charles Coppens, pastor of St. Peter’'s church, read the service.

Dowsett of New Haven on June 4, 1913, gave up his own life on the gallows at Wethers- field state prison during the first few moments of the present day. Berger- on went calmly and collectedly to his doom, and the approach of his last hour failed to shake in any degree his extraordinary fortitude. The condemned man's last day was spent in the company of his personal spiritual advisor and his two broth- ers, Rosaire Bergeron of this city and A. H. Bergeron of Berlin. His broth- ers left him at 3:30; when they took their leave Joseph kissed them both and gave as his last word to his younger brother Rosaire, of whom he had been very fond, a brief warning against the drink habit, saying that to this vice he owed his fate. The brothers sald afterward that the pris- oner was cool and composed through- out their time .together. He also wrote a letter to his wife, who lived in Indian Orchard, Mass., She saw him for the last time about a week ago, and spent a long time with him. He had often expressed regret on her ag- count.
