ULAVIJO’S EXECUTION.

Assailant of Captain General Primo-
Rivcra Shot to Death.

 

THREE VOLLEYS REQUIRED.

Twice the Bullets of the Soldiers Sped Into
the Man’s Body After It Was Proo-
trate—T’he Culprit Was Brave
Up 'to the Very End.

\

MADRID, J une .6.—Major Clavijo, the
assailant of Captain General Prime—Bi-
vera. was shot this morning. At 2 o’clock
Clavijo was awakened by the guard and
the sentence of the court martial and the
War minister’s confirmation of the finding
of the court were read to him. The con-
demned man listened to the reading with-
out showing. any signs of emotion. He
complained, however, that he had not
been allowed to get a good night’s sleep.

After the reading of the death Warrant,
Major Clavijo slowly but in a firm hand
wrote his indorsement upon the document
conveying his sentence and afterward was
visited by two cousins with whom he con-
versed for some time. He exhibited no
signs Of remorse or fear. After taking
leave Of his cousins Clavijo wrote farewell
letters to his parents and his sweetheart.
He occasionally spoke to his guards, and
asked them questions as to the condition
of General Rivera, whom he had attempt
ed to kill, eXpressing hope that he would
recover.

 

The Ride to Death. .

At 5 o'clock he Was conducted to the
prison chapel, where he attended mass and
made confessions. He was then informed
that his execution was fixed for 7 o’clock
on the field of San Isidro. Though the
guards were already under arms awaiting
the order to proceed to San Isidro with the
condemned man, there was some delay in
starting, and the procession did not leave
the prison until a quarter past 7 o‘clock.

As Clavijo left the prison he was partly
surrounded~ by priests, whom he saluted
quietly. A carriage awaited him at the
prison entrance, and as he stepped inside
the vehicle, together with the priests, it
was surrounded by an infantry guard and
the march began. Arriving at San Isidro,
Clavijo descended from the carriage with
the air of a man who had come out for a
pleasure drive. '

As he allghted he was surrounded by
the priests Of the Brotherhood of Penance
and Charity, whom he saluted gravely.
One of the priests stepped forWard and
veiled the condemned man’s eyes with a
handkerchief and then withdrew, leaving
Clavijo standing alone awaiting the fatal
moment. The splendid military bearing
of the condemned man aroused the sympa-
thy of all present, the officer in- command
of the guard being noticeably affected. and
there were traces of deep emotion in his
voice as he gave the order to fire. Indeed,
he and many others present were more
deeply moved than was the condemned man
himself.

Three Volleys Necessary. »

As the order was given to fire a volley
there was a roar of musketry, and Clavijo
fell with three. bullets in his head, but he
was not yet dead. Seeing that he moved,
the order was given to fire another shot,
which took effect in the chin, and as there
was still motion in the body another shot
was fired into , his heart. Clavijo being
then pronounced dead, the troops marched
past the body and returned to their quar-
tors.

The large crowd which had assembled
in the square groanod in horror at seeing
the soldiers fire three times upon the un-
fortunate ofilcer, twice into his prostrate
body.

Clavijo, in his defense. claimed to have
been persecuted by the captain general
who, he asserted, acted under the influ‘
once of a demimondaino who had a grudge
against him. He also claimed that the
general had caused his pay to be withheld,
with the result that he became so dis—
tressed financially as to be obliged repeat-
edly to appeal to the generosity of his
friends. The judge advocate, however, do-
manded that the sentence of death be im-
posed upon thc prisoner. Counsel for Cla-
vijo pleaded eloquently for mercy on the

When he attacked the captain general, that
he had been twice placed under medical
supervision on the supposition that his
mind was deranged. that he had gained
promotion on the field of battle and on the
ground that the imposition of a death sen-
tence would be a severe blow'to the aged
father and mother of the prisoner.

In spite of this appeal, the court pro—
nounced the prisoner guilty and sentenced
him to death, which sentence was carried
out as already stated.

THE may MYSTERY

Another Suspect Is Arrested While
Fighting In the Street.

WAS THE PAL 0? LOGKMEYER

Billy Flynn Declares IIO Is Altogether Too
Tender Hearted to Commit Murder,
. but Admits the Soft Impeach-~
meat of Burglary.

NEW YORK, J une 6.-—-A row at the con
nor of Avenue A and Twelfth street early
today resulted in the arrest of Billy Flynn,
alias Mike Smith. the Butler Harris mur-
der suspect, for Whom the police have been
looking.

Flynn was the pal of Fred Lockmoyer,
who Was arrested as a suepoct in the mur-
der case a few days ago, and who was aft—
erward discharged when no convincing
evidence was found against him.

The arrest of Lockmoyer was made on
information furnished by the woman Kate
Cromie, who had been arrested. for disor-
derly conduct in the house 61 :East Fif-
teenth street, where Flynn and Lockmoyer
lived. She told of the suspicious actions
of the men on the afternoon of the Harris
murdor. She afterward denied the story
that she had previously told.

Flynn was said also to have been the
pa] of Louis Dittmetier, the alleged bur-
glar, who was under arrest at the York-
ville prison at the time Kate Cromie was
there and told her story. Dittmeier was
accused of robbing the house of Jacob Lon—
don. at 316 East Flftlcth street. He said
he was the lover of Annie Shields of 616
East Fifteenth street, who had made the
charge against Kate Cromie.

How Flynn “’95 Arrested.

Patrolman Larkin saw the row today,
and ran to quell it. One of the men es-
caped. The other,'Billy Flynn, was arrest-
ed.

The detectives fear that little Will de-
velop from the arrest. as they have against

~Flynn about the same evidence that they
had against Lockmoyer.

As the latter was discharged, they be-
lieve, as far as the Harris murder case is
concerned, Flynn will be discharged also.
Some of the older detectives, however, feel
confident that in Flynn they have found

. Harris. ' .

Flynn was taken before Justice Burke
in the Essex Market police court and re-
manded tothc East Fifty-first street sta-
tion.
nary hearing at Yorkville court.

Nothing incriminating was found on
him when searched at the station house.

Flynn is known among his friends as
the “Junkman.” His method in carrying
out a burglary is to drive a wagon up to
the corner nearest the house he may have
in mind, then walk leisurely into the
house, and, if not soon, take whatever he
can get. Whian caught, he always make
the plea that he was there to buy junk.

Two months ago he was caught in the
room of Mrs. Edward Kelly, Wife of the
banker, at 17 East Thirty-second street.
Mrs. Kelly had just come in from a shop
ping tour. As she entered the room she
saw Flynn walking over to her jewel case
Where there was $3,000 wOrth of jewelry.
She asked the man What he wanted and
he replied that ho was there to buy junk.

He Got 011‘ Easy.

“Well, this is a queer place to buy
junk,” said Mrs. Kelly, and with that she
caught hold of the burglarand screamed.

A servant ran to her assistance, and the
two Women held Flynn while another serv-
ant went for- a policeman, who arrested
him.

Mr. Koll y appeared against the prisoner
in the Yorkvillo police court the following
morning. He found that Flynn had taken
nothing from his house, and said he was
not inclined to be hard with the fellow.
Flynn received only ten days on the island.

When questioned about the Harris mur-
der case today, he said:

“Why I never killed that man. Look at
the Kelly case in which I was mixed up.
It I was a bad man, I could have done
Mrs. Kelly, but I haven’t the heart to kill
anybody.” -

Another charge against Flynn is that,
with the prisoner, Dittmeier, he robbed
the house of Dr. Bissoll, 15 West Fifty-
eighth street, which is next door tothe
home of ex-Chief of Police Byrnos.
