The sound was greeted with cheers from the crowd, mingled with some groans. At ® o'clock the crowd had swollen te euch proportions that it extended for two blocks from the prison front. At one minute after 9 a single stroke on the big bell announced that the trap had been sprung. It was the signal for a mocking, jeering yell from the crowd which suddenly died away into dead silence. At the back of the prison, a Uttle distance from the jeering) crowd about the gates, was a group of about thirty Irish men and women. When the single dull clang of the prison bell announced that the doomed man had paid the last pen- alty this little group fell on their knees and with bowed heads re- mained for some moments silently Praying for the repose of the soul of their dead fellow countryman. Casement met his death with ca:.n co"rage, acco 'ing to eye itnesses Early in the morning two priests of the Roman Catholic Church admin- istered the last rite in the cell of the condemned man shortly after- ward a little procession headed by the clergymen, with Casement follow- ing, a warden on eltner aide, pro- ceeded toward the execution shed, enly five yards away. The priests recited the litany of the dying, Case- ment responding in low ae have mercy on my soul." LL! THE BARBER EXECU- TIONER, LOSES NO TIME. As the party reached the shed where the gallows was erected, the special executioner, a hair-dresser, named Ellis, a barber from Rochdale, who got $25 for his services, ap- proached Casement and quickly pin- foned him, The two chaplains, the Under-Shoriff of London and the Un- der-Sheriff of Middlesex, then took up thelr positions in front of the scat- fold. Casement mounted the gallows steps firmly and commended his spirit to God as he stepped on the trap. A moment later the lever was pulled. ‘The prison engineer and the phy- sician descended into the pit under the scaffold, where, after the appli- cation of the usual tests, Casement was pronounced dead at nine minutes after 9, According to the custom in the case of prisoners hanged for crimes similar to that of Casement his body was buried in quicklime tn the prison yard SAYS PRAYERS AS HE GETS) READY FOR DEATH. “Casement went to his death like a brave and bold man,” said Father MeCarrell. ust before the black cap (@ontiaued on Ninws Page.) crowd of men, women and children | 7 DIE FOR MY COUNTRY, LAST WORDS OF CASEMENT AS He BOLDLY FACES DOO DOWN IN DAYLIGHT UP IN THE NIGHT {S DEUTSCHLAND PLAN Disappears Under the Waves, | Her Nose Pointing Seaward, About 9 Last Night.

"She will proceed on the surface like any other vessel at night, as soon as out of the danger sone,” he sald. “We expect to hear from her—or about her—often before she reaches Bremen,” Capt. Zach Cullison of the Timming would only say, “I'm glad she's gone." It's the most worrisome bit of pllot- ing Capt, Zach has had to handie In, many a day.
