Leach’s Execution Was Accompanied
by Revolting Features.
THE DEATH MASK SLIPPED.
The Unfortunate Criminal Was So Small
That the Deadly Appliances Did Not
Fit—Three Shocks Were Neces-
sary to Destroy Life.
SING SING, N. Y., Aug. 6.—No quainter
creature than “ Mike the Keener, ” as Rich-
ard Leach, the professional mourner, was
known in life, was'ever put to death by
the law. Leach was killed today by 1,740
volts of electricity in Sing Sing prison.
NO here ever died gamer, no murderer
harder.
For such a. little chap he defied the force
of stored lightning ”longer than any other
murderer yet put to death by the legal
method. Three full currents were neces-
sary to send'his soul into another sphere,
and even then a dozen wise and learned
doctors hung over him in doubt as to
whether he was really dead.
When the full dozen had listened for the
reverberation of his heart beats they do-
cided that he was dead. Then they per?
formed the autopsy and were certain of it.
The execution of Leach, while pro-
nounced a. complete success by all the ex-
perts, was characterized by more revolt-
ing features than that of Buchanan a
month ago, or of any since Kemmler was
roasted to death.
Death came quite as quickly to him as
to the others perhaps, but the death chair
was never made for such as “Mike the
Keener.” .
He didn’t fit it, nor it him. When
strapped in it, he appeared a. pudgy boy of
a dozen years and small for so short a on.-
recr as even that.
His head scarcely reached half way up
the back of the oaken chair. The tips of
his toes hardly touched the floor. The
leather death mask, strapped as tightly
over his features as humanity would per-
mit, slipped down and left the face ex-
posed, and on that face, immature and
chubby as a baby’s, there was a look Of
horror that the 42 persons who witnessed
the execution will never forget.
A. Painful Death.
It was the only evidence of fear Leach
ever showed in his whole life. It wasn’t
on his face when he sat down in the chair
as calm and imperturbed as a man taking
his seat at the dinner table, but it was
there when his tough little body shot out
against the straps and strained them, and
when the death mask slipped down over
his little nose. 3.
It was there still when the current Of
1, 740 volts was run down to 300 and then
up again to 1,740, but when Davis, the
300 for the second time and whirled it up
again after a. lapse of five seconds, the;
face of “Mike the Keener” was as peace”
_ Then the doctors hung over him and lis-
tened for the beating of his heart, and
finally at the end of eight minutes from
the time he had entered the death chamber
he was pronounced dead. .
There was less interest in the taking off
of Leach than any other murderer since
the law went into effect, probably because
he had no friends to speak of and his
crime was only an ordinary wife murder.
Nobody who cared half as muCh for him
as the woman he killed came to see him
during his last days on earth, and when
he died he didn’t knew that anybody
would mourn for him. -
The gathering that witnessed his death
was purely professional, made up princi-
pally of physicians and newspaper report-
ers. A new dynamo had been put in the
death chamber yesterday, and Electrician
Davis, who is the legal executioner of the
state, had equipped the death chamber
with some new contrivances to show the
rate of voltage. ‘
The ‘Vitnesses Surprised.
The persons who 'had been invited to
witness the. execution entered the chamber
at 11 :10 o’clock. Davis was ready, and
five minutes later the big iron door con-
necting with the deathhouse clanged, and
headed by Warden Sage the condemned
man was brought in.
An exclamation of surprise went up
from the witnesses when they saw him.
Instead of the ordinary brutal type of the
wife murderer, they saw the oddest little
figure that ever existed out of a story book.
The experts who took his measure said
he was 5 feet tall, but he didn’t 1001; it
by a foot.
Alongside of Parson Weiller, the prison
chaplain, who accompanied him to the
death chair, he appeared a. veritable midget.
§-:His clothes were much, too large for him
and flappcd about his body and his legs as
do the habiliments of a scarecrow in a corn-
field when the wind blows.
His face was ruddy behind the black
rimmed spectacles he Wore. He had been
freshly shaven, and his hair was neatly
brushed. He almost ran beside the tall
parson to keep up with the latter’s broad
strides. There were no evidences Of fear
on his face, and with a. look of wonderment
around the room he walked directly to the
chair. A dozen hands seized him, and his
arm went up to the spectacles on his nose.
He took them off and dropped them by his
side. .
Then he put something in one of the
pockets of his coat. After he had been de-
clared dead the doctors examined the pock»
ct. It contained a. tangled cluster of dark
brown hair, the hair of Mary N ewkirk,
the common law wife . he had slain.
Clutched in his hand he had carried it from
his cell to the chair and then tucked it
away in his pocket.
It required less than a minute to strap
Leach in the chair and put the electrodes
in place. During this time “the Keenef”
looked about the room undaunted as real-
ly brave men do, and his face waspeace
ful when the leather death mask conceal-
ed it from view. ~
