FORT MADISON, Ia, Oct. 10.—James Dooley stepped on the scaffold in the east corridor of the penitentiary cell room at 12:14 tod He was firm and composed and was accompanied by Sheriff Eldridge of Adams county, Sheriff Trump and Deputy McCormick of Lee county, and the deputy warden. Sheriff Eldridge took him by the hand and asked him if he nad anything to say. He replied and addressed those pres: P have violated the law allows but seventeen persons to witness an exe- cution, but there are twenty-three present now and more coming. A poor man can violate the law and he suffers the penaity. A rich man can do the same and he goes free. I hope God will forgive your sins as [ know mine are.” He was then pinioned and the noose and black cap adjusted, and at just 12:16 Sherif J. H. Eldridge sprung the trap that launched Murderer James O. Dooley into eternity. The drop was about seven feet and his life was prenounced extinct at 12:34, The crime for which Dooley was executed was one of the most brutish and unproyoker murders ever committed in lowa, the kill- Ing of Mrs. William Coons and hér 11-year- old daughter, Nellie. In May, 1892, Dooley made his home with his uncle, Willlam Coons, near Prescott, Ia., working on his uncle to school.

He left town about moon. At about 12:30 citizens of Prescott heard two pistol shots but thought nothing of it at the time. An hour later Dooley was seen driving rapidly toward the north. The terrible crime was not discovered un- til 5 o'clock the next day, when Mr. Coons roturned home. The county officials were notified at once and immediately started on the young man’s track. Dooley drove northwest from Preseott, and on Wednesday evening stayed at James Rus- sell's farm, seven miles from the scene of the crime. ' He drove from there to Villisca and put his team up at a livery stable, On descriptions sent out by the sheriff he was arrested by the Villisca offictals in the depot that evening, where he was making an in- quiry regarding a telegram. He was brought to Corning, and at the June term of court was convicted of murder in the first degree and sentenced to hang June 16, 1893, Dooley was respited pending the decision of the which in May of this year affirmed the decision of the lower court, and on the 27th of September Governor Jackson, in accordance with law, signed the death warrant and set the date of execution. Dooley claimed to be only 16 years old when e committed the murder, though he had the stature and ways of a man. While ho had full possession of his faculties he wa of a dull, brutish temperament and possessed nons of the finer sensibilities of manhood He had saturated his mind with cowboy ilterature and loved to ape the bravado of dime novel heroes.

Sabine, as administrator of the estate of George T. VanAlst, deceased, against Ida M. VanAlst, administratrix of the estate of Theodore VanAlst, deceased. George T. VanAlst was insanc and George W. Sabine was appointed as his guardian. While he was under his guardian George died, and Sabine came into. possession of & note for $2,500 against Theodore. In some way it was claimed that the note was ap- propriated by Theodore, and In proving up the estate it was heid: that tha appropriation had ectually taken place. The case was appealed to the district court and in the meantime Theodore, died, and his wife, Ida M. VanAlst the estate.
