THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: THREE DIE IN DEATH CHAIR Brothers Are Bleotrocuted for the Murder of Thair Unole. ONLY FIFTEEN MINUTES NECESSARY Crime for Which They Pay Penalty b Actuated by Revenge for the Forealosure of Mortgage on Stepmother's Home. DANNEMORA, N. Y, Oct. 1—Without one unforeseen incident to mar the perfect and dignified execution of the death penalty imposed by tfie trial court, sustained by the colrt of appeals and mot Interfered with by Governor Odell, Willls, Frederick M. and Burton Van Wormer were put to death in ffteen and one-half minutes at Clinton prigon today for the murder of thelr uncle, Peter A. Hallenbeck, at Green- dale on Christmas eve, 1901 The men walked from the doors of thelr cells in the care of their priest and flanked on either side by prison deputies, with calm demeanor but extreme pallor. Father Belanger, a plcturesque white- halred figure, not in the robes of his office, but in the every-day black frock coat of clerical cut, with a little purple stole about the shoulders, walked along with each of the condemned men in turn, saying words of consolation. Condemned Men Executed. Wil'ls Van Wormer entered the death chamber at 11:34:30, the current was turned into his body one minute later and at 11:37 he was declared dead. At 11:41:30 Frederick entered the death chamber. At.11:42 the current was turned on and he was declared dead at 11:43:30. Burton entered the death chamber at 11:47. The current was turned on at 11:47:30 and he was declared dead at 11:43:30. The entire proceeding from the start of the first man from his cell to the doctor's declara- tion of the death of the last consumed but fifteen and one-half minutes, and no un- toward incident marred the execution of the law. During the first execution Father Char- bonneau remained in the corridor between the ‘death cells, reading prayers and invo- cations to the remaining Wormers. Every precaution had been taken to prevent the remaining men from hearing more than the departure of their brother from the room. The doors had been padded apd the in- terstices stuffed with cotton, so that the steps of those who removed the lifeless bodies from the death chamber to the morgue could not be heard.* Execution of the First. Three applications of the current and four minutes time were required for the execution of Willis, but only two ap- plications of the full current were deemed necessary in the case of Frederick and two minutes from the time he crossed the threshold of the room the doctors pronounced him dead. The bodies were carried out into the prison morgue, and the summons for the last brother was taken back by the guards. Father Belanger went with them and when Burton Van Wormer was brought into the presence of death he was accompanied by two priests, Father Charbonneau, having no further need to remain in the cell room. Burton was unable to sit up straight In the chair because the strap did not reach high enough to blindfold him. As the current switched .on he was still looking over the edge of the strap at the priest. He was Irilled even more easily than the other two. The current was turned on at Only one spplication was re- hough It was retafned ‘slightly full pressure than in.the other Doctors Examine Bodies, Drs, Damon, Spitska and McDonald had carefully examined the other two men's bodies, but in the case of Burton, the last, other physicians who were present among the witnesses were asked to step forward and examine the body as it remained in the chair,”and so the official pronounce- ment of death was naturally delayed. In the case of Willls the current was on three contacts for sixty seconds; in that of Fred, two contacts, one minute and five seconds; in that of Burton, with but one contact, one minute and thirteen seconds, %0 that the actual time consumed in ex- ecuting the three men was five minutes and fifty-four seconds. Last Day en Barth, Cloudy skies and drizzling rain darkened the cell room at the awakening of the three Van Wormer brothers to their last day on earth, The condemned men did not sleep last night until nearly 3 o'clock this morning, but tossed uneasily upon thelr cots.' The last thing any of them said last night te Assistant Chief Keeper Nash was from the lips of Burton. Said he: 1 have no more fear of the electric chair than of this meal which we are about to eat. I would just as leave be the last one to go in, for | know that I can stand the farewell. I am not afrald. This was not said boastfully, but very quietly. Keeper Murphy, who was in the cell room from midnight until 8 a. m., said when he came off duty this morning that he never had seen men better prepared ‘for death or more fully in possession of their nerve. “I tell you," said he to the Associated Press representative, “they were a lot more self-controlled’ than I. Leaving out any question of their gullt, or whether or not they ought to die, I have come to like those three fellows and it made me feel bad to say goodby to them. Willis Van Wormer sald this morning to Keeper Murphy: 1 only wish there were three chalrs in- stead of one, so that we could all go to- gether. The hardest part of it dll Is the suspense. but we are feady. We are grate- ful for the kindness which everybody about the prison has shown to us. Awakened by the Keeper, Keeper Murphy awakened the young men shortly after 7 o'clock this morning. They were a little dazed at first, sound sleep in the later hours having followed the rest- lessness after midnight, but almost im- mediately they were awake to a full realf- ation of the fact that this was their last day on earth. Their new clothes were ready for them and they at once clothed themd- selves In the garb they will wear at the execution, & gray flannel shirt and dark trousers, each with the:right leg slit to A bad cold;agood doctor.

They took no breakfast, in accordafce with the Catholic requirement to come fasting to their communion, which Father Belanger administered to them later. They sald, moreover, that they would not eat again, so that their meal at midnight was the last Frederick, the youngest, who has all along been the least impressed of the three and at all times has shown more bravado than the others, said to Keeper Murply as he dressed himself: “Well I suppose by this time tomorrow we shall be in Kinderhook,” evidently intimating that the brothers ex- pect their bodies to by taken for burial to their home. Sceme i Most Impressive. It would be difficult to fimagine a scene more impressive than the solemn service In the room of the steel cages, where Fathers Belanger and Charbanneau, a little after ® o'clock, administered to the three brothers thelr first and last com- munion, signalizing thelr full acceptance into the faith of 'the Reman Catholic church. To tho fullést possible extent, the privacy of the ceremony was assured, all keepers except the inexorable death watch belng excluded. The anélent ritual of the Lord’s supper after the manner of the Catholic church was observed. A few feet away in his cell. under like condemnation of death, sat Allen Mooney, the only other prisoner in the cell room, listening to the ceremony. He stands con- victed of the murder of two women at Saranac lake. P The routine of the prison was carried on without a break early today in contrast with the forfer custom of lockjng the men in thelr cells upon a day of execution. In Good -Condition. Dr. Ranson, the prison physician, visited the condemned men in their cells this morning and ¢losely noted thelr physical condition. In the meanwhile Warden Deyo had decided upon the order in which the men will go to.the chalr, as follows: First, Willis, the oldest and most impressionable of the three; second, Frederick, the young- est, who has seemed to be the most hard- ened; third, Burton, the second in point of age. At 9:30 it was reported by the warden that the men were in the best possible con- dition both of ‘mind and body and well nerved for their ordeal History of the Tragedy. In almost all respects the tragedy which closed today at Clinton prison with' the death In the electric chalr of the three brothers Van Wormer was unique in mod- ern criminal history. Only once before in this state is it recalled that three brothers have gone to their death together for a murder in which they were jointly con- cerned. On Christmas eve, 191, ‘with their cousin, Harvey Bruce, the three brothers drove from thelr home in Kinderhook, some four- teen miles, to the hamlet of Greendale, in Columbla county, where lived Peter A: Hallenbeck, the uncle of the Van Wormers. On the way they stopped at the Greendale church, where thiey stole from the vehicles of the farmers a number of robes and whips. Thence they went on to the Hallenbeck house, where Mr. Hallenbeck, his wife and his aged mother were sitting in the lamp- light in their living room, Both the women saw them drive past. .A few moments later there was a knock at the door and Mr. Hallenbeck answered it, to find masked men_before him atmed with revolvers. Bur- ton Van Wormer led the way and with him the old man. grappled; » At once all four hegan g fusillade of pistol shots, which fairly_riddled the body of Mr. Hallenbeck, %,' alleubeck, the wite, ran_into. the kitchen and the brothers shot | at her, but missed.’ Her husband ordered her to flee and” sheran’ upstairs, whither the older woran had- preceded her, and the two barricaded themselves in'the attie. Mr. Hallenbeck/!' although mortally wounded, broke away from his assallants and went to the landing of the stairs, where he kept & loaded shotgun. The ai saflants saw him get the gun and fled. The old man fell to the floor and dled. Betrayed by Footprints. The four young men were soon afterward arrested, betrayed by their footprints In the snow, and because they were known to have harbored bitter feelings and to have made threats against thelr uncle. They were brought to trial before an extraordi- nary term of the supreme court appointed by Governor Odell and vresided over by Justice Alden Chester of Albany, on March 30, 1902 Harvey Bruce turried state's evidence, and it was to a large extent upon his testi- mony that the eéonviction of the Van | Wormer brothers was secured. He swore that on the ride back from the scene of the crime each of the brothers boasted of having shot the uncle. It was shown thaf the bitterness which the brothers felt toward their uncle was due chiefly to his having foreclosed a mortgage upon the property at Greendale owned by their stepmother, the loss of which compelled thelt removal to Kinder- hook. ! Sentenced to Dea On April 8 all three were found gullty and sentenced to be put to death in the week ending May 30, 1902. Tleir appeal t the court of appeals ncted as a stay, lnx the case wemt over to the present year. Judge O'Brien, in writing the unanimous opinion of the higher court against t appen!, pronounced incredible the main plea of defense, that the expedition of the four to Hallenbeck's house was in the na- ture of & young men's prank, the fatal outcome of which had not been part of | the plan. The court fixed upon the week of Wuly 6 for the carrying out of the death sen- tence, but the Van Wormers have been twice respited by Governor Odell Except for the efforts of Judge Cady in thelr behalf, and for the futlle attempt of Mre. Van Wormer, the stepmother of the condemned men, to appeal to Governor Odell, no volce has been raised in their behalf. No Reason for Clemeney, It is known that Governor Odell would havp welcomed any plausible ground upon ch to commute the sentence, as he felt that little good would result to the public mind from the morbid interest at- taching to the triple execution. Harvey Bruce, their fellow in the erime tor which they died today, was tried alone and was sentenced to imprisonment for eighteen years. Mrs. Hallenbeck soon followed her hus- band to the grave, as did also the aged mother of the murdered man. A brother, George A. Jgillenbeck, survives, but he is broken in health and nerve by the awful tragedy enacted almost within his he ing. The triple execution of today raised to & total of seventy-three the list of mur- derers who have died in the electric chair. The simultaneous execution of three broth- ers s not unprecedented in' the history of New York state, although to find the parallel one must go back to June 7, 1825, when three brothers, Nelson, lsrael, Jr.. and Isagc Thayer, of the town of Boston, Erie eounty. were hanged simul- taneously on a triple gallows, erected at the west side of Niagara square, in the city of Buffalo. The crime for which the Thayers died was the butchery of a ped- dier named John Love. —_—— ' A Hurt Never Hurts. After Porter's Ani Healing Ol is ap- plied. Relleves and heals at the same time.

BUCHANAN HAS THE VOTES Head of Iron Worhrl Prove: His Ability to | Enfo:ce His D IS NOW CANDIDATE FOR RE-ELECTION ms that a Majority of the Dele« gates Have Promixed Support— Parks Ac Opponents, ires. o with Former KANSAS CITY, Oct chanan's re-election as 1—Frank Bu president of ths International Association of Bridge Struc- tural Iron Workers is assured, according to bis!friends tonight, who lay positive claim to forty-eight out of the eighty-three votes In the annual convention now in session here. Not until this morning did Presi- dent Buchanan make known his determi nation to run for re-election, and then it was stated he had done so only after he felt that the convention had endorsed his actions and after his supporters had in- sisted that he could win out. Tonight, after he had succeeded in getting the oon- vention today to endorse without oppasi- tion the bill of expenses, presented on be- half of Robert Neidig, the deposed head of local No. 2 of New York, and to order his owr®* personal expense biils paid, Pres! dent Buchanan expressed confldence in his final victory over the Parks crowd. Pre- viously S8amuel Parks had declared that he would fight against paying this money. Today he voted with the gates to support the rest of the dele- president's claim am no knocker,” he declared, and the New York walking delegate made no effort to fight the Lill. Tonight Mr. Parks re- fused to give any figures, but reasser.el his claim that H. F. Donnelly of Albany would be named for president. “1 have | said from the start that we would elect Donnelly and you can count on our doing 80." The election probably will take place to- morrow, A Buchanan partisan sald tod “Mr. Buchanan would not have announced his candidacy unless he had strong bellef that he woald win President Buchanan said: This statement that Sam Parks has domiiated this convention is ridiculous The convention has emphatically endorsed me by adopting the majority of the recom- mendatisns in my report, including af fillation with the American Federation of Labor. public may distort such action as being favorable to Parks if they want | to, but the fact is that Parks is simply falling into line. “As soon as he saw the | way the convention was endc ng my recommendations he made haste to Ret into the band wagon. The Parks people assert as positively as ever that their eandidate, H. F. of Albany, will be elected, The election will take place tomorrow, and In the fight to name the head of the organization will lay the real struggle of the convention be- tween the Parks and the anti-Parks ele- ments. Power to Call a Strike, An fmportant plece of work accomplished at the morning session today was the adop- tion of an amendment to the constitution limiting ‘the power of the president and ex- ecutive committee in calling strikes. The amended article in the constitution as adopted follows: When a general agreement is to be en- fered into It sball be drawn up and en tered into by the executive board, and one member from each local that is not rep- resented on said board, said member to be elected by his respective local union, and the expenses of such member to be pald by the local of which he is a member, A personal victory for President Bub chanan wax won when the convention ap- propriifed §1% to pay the expenses to Kan- sus City of Robert Neldlg, the president of Union No. 2 of New York. Mr. Neldig came to the conyention upon the invitation of President Buchanan. He was fought by the Parks crowd, principally, it was said, because he had supported President Bu- chanan in upholding the latter's action in suspending Parks and local No. 2. Later, when Neldig was refused the priv- flege of sitting In the convention, Parks made a fight on paying his expenses. The convention also passed favorably upon the usual routine bills presented by President Buchanan. A resolution providing for:a standard initiation fee of $25 in all the locals was adopted.

Employes in town will be paid immediately, but assigned claims will be carefully scrutinized and specula- tors who have been buying up timechecks for a smhall per cent may lose their in- vestments. The situation in the Michigan 800 has also been greatly simplified. The Michigan Lake Superior Power company will pass into the hands of a receiver to- morrow. James Bicknell of Toronto, rep- resentative of B. F. Frankenthal, receiver for the American propertics of the Con- solidated company, appointed by Judge Wanty of the United States-district court Monday, appeared today before officers of the company and its attorney, H.
