HARRISBURG, Oct. 17.——Before the special sessiOn of the senate adjourned till 4 o‘clock next Monday afternoon, at the re- quest of Attorney General Hensel, the answers of Auditor General McCamant and State Treasurer Boyd to the charges against them Were read. The auditor general’s answer denies the rights of the governor to call the extra ses- sion for his removal and disputes the ju- risdiction of the senate. It declares that he had been elected auditor general by the people in 1888 for three years from a spear- lied date, and that he had been rightfully and lawfully exercising the duties of his nifice. He had not been convicted of any crime or been guilty of any, and no reason- able cause, existed for his removal under ‘ the constitution. He denies all charges of misbehavior directed against him by the governor. He had enforced the laws re- lating to his office as he understood them, and had suggested legislation to remedy the defects in existing acts. The answer (.i State Treasurer Boyer was in many re- spects similar to that of the auditor gen— s'ral. The auditor general’s counsel says that even should the senate present a. finding :0 the governor sufficient to remove Mc- Camant, the latter would refuse to recog- nize the governor’s authority, and Would decline to recognize any appointee and not turn over the department keys. In this event the matter would go to court, and in the end would get to the supreme court, and by the time, the latter body had passed judgment McCamant’s time would have expired.

Brutal Scalfold Spectacle at a Minne- sota Secret Execution. THE ROPE SNAPPED IN TWO. [hen Enlued a Horrible Exhibition of Bungllng in Which in Agony and erthing the Victim’s Life Was Gradually Strangled Out. MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. 17,—William Rose was hanged at Redwood Falls, this state, under the new law which requires that all executions must take place in secret between midnight and morning, out of sight of all newspaper men and in pres- ence only of the officials and deputies. In spite of the precautions taken, however, a newspaper man was present and gives the details of the horrible spectacle that oc- curred. The prisoner was awakened at 4 o’clock, and after eating a hearty meal heard the reading of the death warrant with great coolness and mounted the gallows with a firm step. He made a short speech, in which he protested his innocence and ac- cused a man named Glover of the crime. The trap was sprung at 4:56 a. m., and then followed an awful seene. The Rope Parted. As the body came down the rope snapped and parted three feet from the victim’s neck. The man was semiconscious, but too weak to support himself on his feet and he fell to the floor of the scaffold in a heap. Without a. moment’s delay the limp body was picked up and placed face downward on the floor of the scaffold. A second noose was adjusted around his neck. The trap was sprung at 5 o’clock for the second time, without any attempt to place the body on its feet, and the life was slowly choked out of the man. The hands clinched in awful agony, the limbs were contracted and the eyballs bulged out. The lips slowly turned a purplish hue. The jaw dropped and then protruded. Weak groans and gurgles came from the choking throat. Weaker _ and weaker they became until, after fifteen minutes’ awful agony, the , heart throbbed for the last time, and the spark of life had gone. The face of the dead man presented an awful appearance when the black cap was removed. Mortal agony was written on every lineament. NO attempt had been made to break the condemncd’s neck on the second trial. The Crime Bose Died For. The murder for which Rose was hanged was a sensational one, behind which there was a romance. Rose came to Redwood county from Pike county, Ills. Here he fell in love with Miss Grace Lufkin, a pretty girl Of twenty, daughter of a farm- er. The girl reciprocated Rose’s love, but on the advice of her father refused to see her lover. Rose was angered at this, and one evening at dusk shot Lufkin dead through an open window while the latter was convorsing with a neighbor. Miss Lufkin became very despondent and went to Chicago, where, at the home of a mar- ried sister, she committed suicide by cut- ting her throat with a razor. Rose was given three trials, his case go~ ing to the supreme court of the United States, and the governor twice set the day for his execution. Rose also wrote a long letter for the press, in which he charged Glover with committing the murder. Notorious Josie Mansfield Weds. NEW YORK, Oct. 17.-—It is announced from London that Josie Mansfield, no- torious in this city yearsago as the woman who was responsible for the assassination of Colonel James Fisk, J r., by Ed Stokes, was married in St. George’s church, Han- over square, to Robert L. Reade, a lawyer of this city, with an office at 34 West Thirty-seventh street. The bridegroom, who is about forty—five, is alleged to have married in the belief that his new wife is the only person who can reclaim him from the drinking habit. He is a son of the late Robert Reade, of Minneapolis, whose family has lived abroad since 1876 in social prominence. Governor Hill’s Movements.

ELGIN, Ills, Oct. 17.—Robert Todd, 3. young man of good -family but of disso- lute habits, lay in wait for his wife, who had just secured a. divorce, and cut her throat with a razor. He was arrested. BRI EF IMENTION. The Chicago creditors of S. V. White & Co. accepted a prpposition to pay fifty cents on the dollar, the decision being reached at an adjourned meeting.
