death warrant, and when Sergeant

it gave you my arm you would be able
to walk to the scaffold?" he replied
calmly, "I can walk without your aid."
0n the way he stumbled once or twice
and the officers proffered assistance.

cended the scaffold with him. The

arms were pinioned and his ankles

some statement before he died pass-

head and be had seen his last of the

The guard took hold of the rope that
was to release the trap. Rogers,

his hand. The trap fell. McCue‘s
neck was broken.
