ADMITS HE DESERVES THE PUNISHMENT $heriff of Douglas County, Dei Warden of Penitentiary and Ger- man Lutheran Minister Ap- pear on the Scaffold. (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, March 13.—(Special Tele- gram.)—Gottlieb Niegenfind, the murderer of his divorced wife and father-in-law, Daid the penalty of death on the scaffold at (he penitentiary shortly after noon today. , Sherifft John Power of Omaha, Deputy Warden James Jones and Rev. George Allenbach of the German Lutheran church of Lincoln, of which denomination Niegen- fiend was a communjcant, were on the ecaftold. A\The Douglas county scaffold, brought fown from Omaha several days ago, was ised as the death trap. The hanging took flace in the west cell house. Niegenfind entered the long, dreary court in which he was to die, walking between James Jomes and Willlam McNell, two suards, and, hecompanied by Rev. Mr. Al- lenbach. He had scarcely passed through the big iron doors than his eye caught sight of the grim-looking scaffold. He viewed it intemtly. He wore & serious expression upon his face, but on meeting \arden Beemer, who stood near the scaf- fold, he smiled, tipped his hat and ex- tended his hand, thanking the en for uis kindnesses end bidding him’ goodbye. To others he met on his short but dreary march he repeated these manifestations. On reaching the scaffold he grasped the banister and mounted without a faltering step. Clad in & new black cashmere sack sult, wearing a white shirt and white tie, be stood erect and motionjess on tbe floor. He presented the wppearance of perfect physical manhood. Not the slightest tre- mor was visible in a single feature, and if be fully realized the fate that awalted bim, he concealed his feelings. Appar- ently has was happy and unconcerned. His spiritual adviser, Rev. Mr. Allenbach, said be was deeply comscious of the seriousness of the ccoasion, but had declared his readi- ness to go. The minister was the last per- son with whom be shook hands and spoke. This he did just before the cap was dropped sver his head. To the very last he main. tained unfaltering nerve. Admits He Deserved Fate. “I deserve to be hung,” said the con- demned man last night. “I am sorry I sommitted the crime, and If I had a chance to do it over I wouldn't take it.

But there is no use to worry mow. It's done." This morning Niegenfind ate a hearty breakfast and at noon, less tham an hour before his death, he ate heartily of boiled beef and horseradish and said he relished his meal. In all his actions Niegenfind displayed a sort of stolid indifference to his impending doom, which, while evidently unnatural, did not seem to indicate real unconcern, simply & lack of mensitiveness to the actual con- ditions. When he started from his cell to the gallows he said to those accompanying him: ome on, we are going mow. it will soon be over.” He had been laughing just before this, but as he emerged from the prison door into the open air he relapsed into a state of manifest seriousness, which remained untfl he mounted the scaffold, where six minutes later he swung to his doom. Niegenfind had requested Rev. Mr. Allen- bach to have his body buried at Plerce, his home, and the minister is endeavoring to carry out his wish, but may not suc- ceed. If he does mot, the burial will be in Wyuka cemetory, Lincoln. ‘Gottlieb Breyer, brother of the murdered woman, was the only relative at the execu- tion. Representatives of the Omaha and Lincoln newspapers and several members ot the legislature were present. Niege Reconciled to Fate. Niegenfind has spent the last three weeks under the close esplonage of the death watch. He has occupied a cell jsolated from all the others, in the hospital ward. )ed death approsch -with re-. markable calm. He asserted ten days ago that he had made his peace with God, and thereafter was seemingly contented and without dread or fear. He has eaten three square meals a day and slept soundly at night. His general health has been good and he has laughed heartily at some poor little jokes of his own. Niegenfind's crime was a pecullarly atro- clous one. On September 11 last he arrived in Plerce from Kansas. He had, some years before, lived in the county, and had met and married a Mrs. Peters, the widowed daughter of Albert Breyer, a prosperous | farmer, living six miles east of Plerce. | Niegenfind was addicted to drink and had an ugly temper. His wife left him because of his abuse and before the tragedy secured a divorce. At the same time she was awarded the oustody of their child, a boy. Niegenfind claimed st the time that it wi the influence of his wite's parents that caused all their troubles. He talked wildly of revenge, but went away. On Thursday morning, September 11 last, be appeared at the Breyer farm and had a talk with his father-in-law. He was or- dered off the place. A few hours after- ward he returned and (his time demanded of his wife ttat she return to live with him, but she refused and was counseled by her parents to have nothing more to do with him. He asked to see his boy, but the wife told him the child was no longer his and that he could not see him. Niegen- find turned away and, going back to Pierce, bought a revolver. About dusk he returned to the farm. Outside he met Breyer. Ther hed an altercation and he shot the old man Mrs. Breyer, his mother-in-law, witnessed the shooting and ran out erying to Niegen- | find not to shoot her busband. He took several shots ‘at the old woman, but she ran away and escaped fatal injury, although two bullets struck ber. Three times he shot at the prostrate old man, reloading while standing over him. His vife heard the shooting and ran out, but, fearing Niegenfind would kill her, started around the other side of the barn. Her ex-husband intercepted her as she turped the corner and killed ber. Niegenfind started to run down the road end met & younger sister of his former wife. It was charged at first but it developed later that he simply tore her clothes off in his mad rage. He did Flight and For almost & week Niegenfind was a fugi- tive from justice. The Lineoln bloodhounds chased him unavailingly He seemed to As & matter the man had walked from the Breyer farm und slept peacefully all night at s former acquaintance’s house, where mews of the tragedy had not been circulated. He rode with this friend to within two miles of Winside, in Wayne county, the next imprn- ing. A lMttle distance down the road he was overtaken by County Commissioner Cullen, who gave him a lift for four miles Niegenfind finally stopped al the home of Gu ve Rehmus, where he The hue and cry went on, but only Cullen recognized bis erstwhile companion by the description.

His would-be captors were com | ptare. however, pelled to withhold their fire until Rehmus could tear himself loose from Niegenfind's grasp. Meanwhile Niegenfind was empty- ing his gun at them, but failed to hit either. When once they got a chance at the murderer they speedily brought him to earth with a dozen wounds Niegenfind was loaded into a wagon end taken to Winside. When he could be moved he was taken to Lincolu to avold lynch- Ing. He remained at the penitentiary a few weeks and finally taken back for trial. This began in the closing days of October, and on November 7 the jury found him guilty and the court sentenced him to hang on March 13. Niegenfind is but 29 years old, five feet ten inches tall and rather ungainly in figure. He married Mrs. widow with four children of her own, on April 21, 1901. September 26, 1801, she secured a divorce from him. His child was born after his departure and he has peve: seen ‘t. MRS. DORSEY DicS SUDDENLY End Comes to Wife of Former Con- gressman in at Lincoln.
