psoquoerie » THE OMABA DAILY BEE OMAHA SATURDAY MORNING, APRIL 92, 1882, SINDRAM'S SWINC, Exccution of a Cool Now York Murderer, He Wanted to Buperintend Y the Brection of the Scaftold, And Persistently Refused All Ministerial Consolation, Dymng an Infidel. The Crime for Which Me Suffered the Death Penalty, National Associated Press, New York, April 21,—Wm, Sind- ram was hanged at 8:36 a. m. for the murder of Mrs, Catharine Crane, his landlady, on January 26, 1880. Mrs. Crane did not die until five weeks af- ter the wonnd, which was in the neck. She had been ill for many years from ablood poisoning, which showed itself ! 'm} frequent abscesses and at the time when she was shot by Sindram her physical condition was very low on account of a very large abscess on the hip. Owing to these facts one of the largest and most closely contesled litigations that ever took place ‘over a murderer in New York took place, Sindram was convicted solely on the circumstances attending the shooting, his own confession in the matter to friends, and the testi- mony of Mrs. Crane's attending phy- | & sician, who was not cross-examined. Sindram's counsel produced the affi- davits of some of the most celebrated surgeons in New York, including Dr. Carnochan, to the effect that the bul- let wound icflicted by Sindram would have killed her. Sindram has attracted great attention among physiologists, cn account of his peculiar mental qualitics, possessing an extremely in- ventive and cultivated mind and being,| able to baffle all the arguments of the many clergymen who have tried to in- duce him to believe in a future state and the immortality of thesoul. Here- mained an infidel to the last. He spent the nicht up to 12 o’clock play- ing casino with McGloin, to be hanged next Friday for the murder of Louis Hanier, whom he killed while rob- bing Hanier’s saloon. Sindram ap- plied for permission yesterday to superintend the erection of the scaf- fold upon which he was to be hung so that there would be no hitch in its working, he being an ex- pert mechanic and inventor. He slept well during the night and the doctor who examined him when awakened to go to the scaffold pro- nounced his pulse and physical con- dition to be entirely normal and de- void of the least trace of excitement. He ate a hearty breakfast, dressed for the scaffold and met death with per-|C tect coolness. . The Outbreak in Arizona.

The line to the Pacific will be the extension granted in the Morelosrailway’s old concession. Pub- lic feeling was too strong against the projectors of the road for a long time after the accident on the Morelos rail- road to allow construction of this branch of the road to begin, many rsons believing the company was re- 's;umible for the accident, as the gov- ernment engineers had condemned the bridge and ordered that it be atrength- ened, which was not done, This feel- ing no longer exists.

The most exciting rumors soon spread, among which was the statement that Hurlbut had been poisoned by opponents of Blaine's Peruvian policy. These rumors took such positive and circumstantial shape that the authorities decided to make a post mortem examination, and induced the widow, for publio reasons, to con- sent. An autopsy was performed in the presence of ten surgeons of dif- ferent nationalities, Doctors Scho- field and Baldwin, of the United States steamer Pensaeola, doing the surgery.

The legislature will meet on the 10th of May to take under consideration such matters as are included in the call telegraphed you last night. No earthly reason ex ists why this announcement could not have been made a month ago and thus have saved all the fume and foment expended on it. The Journal of this place vociferously claims that it knew all about it all the time and endeayor- ed to twit the Omaha papers over their uneasiness about the matter, It is a matter of fact, however, that even the governor's secretary did not know the date of the call three hours before it was sent to the printer. The objects specified in the call are such as have been pre- dicted from time to time in these let ters, The chief dispute will occur, of course, over the apportionment, on which subiect six or eight bill have already been prepared. It is probable that the session will cover fulf; three weeka' time and cost $15,000. The extra session will be a great boon to the candidates for varfous offices, as they will then be afforded an oppor- tunity to make their combinations in good shape. The amount of lobbying that will be done will be enormous, Mayor Doolittle is getting involved in pretty deep water through his ef- forts to cater to both factions of the republican pcrlg here. His last ap- pointment on the police forco was a sop thrown out to the anti-B. & M. crowd, and the other side is red-hot with indignation.

There were four rangers or state troopers asleep in the rear coach, and these were awakened before the bandits entered the passenger coaches, and the rangers opened a hot fire on the robbers, who returned it with interest, Thirty or forty shots were exchanged as the robbers retreated into the brush.
