Kippie Hanged Himsélf F01 His Wife’s Murder. 0N an AUTOMATIC GALLOWS It Is the Invention of a Warden and an SEX-Convict —- The Murderer Was a Man of Ungovernable Temper and His Crime Was Most Brutal. Hartford, July 15.-—Thomas F. Kippie, Who ended his life on the gallows in the state prison at Wethersfield early today had had a peculiar career. He had tried to introduce wild western methods into staid old Connecticut from earliest childhood, and he died with the bravado of a. cowboy who keeps his "boots on at the finish. ' The gallows on which Kippie expiated his crime today is an ingenious contriv- ance devised in part by Warden Jabez L. Woodbridge and in part by Convict . Rabbett, who was recently released on the strength of the 'gocid work he had done on the machine. It is located in a room in the base- :ment 3. short distance from the. steel 'cage of the condemned man. NOthing of it can be seen except the rope when the victim 'enters the room. The rope dangles over a small, loose section of the floor which looks like a trapdoor, After the cap and noose have been ad- ' AUTOMATIC HANGING MACHINE. justed the warden, who is standing by the wall across the room,. touches a lever with his foot. This releases a spring under the loose section of floor, so that the instant the victim steps on it a connection is made with a con. trivance hidden by a wall from the eyes of those in the room. By an arrange— ment of sliding shot, released by the prisoner’s weight after the, warden’s action, a weight is dropped sufficient to yank the man into the air. It has been criticised as a method of making the man commit suicide, but as the re— sult cannot be attained without the ac- tion of the warden it is seen that the The gallows has been examined by experts from all parts of the world and is declared the best gallows known. Justice Appeased. ' Kippie, attended only by the warden, the jail doctors, the jail officers and his spiritual adviser, Father Lynch, walk- ed calmly from his cage to the gallows. It was feared ‘hat he would be seized with one of his fits of anger at the last moment and make a. scene, but he did not. The.only remark he made was when the noose was being adjusted. He said, “The rope’s tight,”. In another moment his soul was in eternity. Kippie’s crime was a cold blooded one. He and his wife on the night of Jan. 29, 1896, were drunk. He threatened her life. She succeeded in mastering him and in tying him to a bedpost, where he was held prisoner for 24 hours. He was able to free himself as soon as he became sober. The first thing was to secure a butcher knife and start in search of his wife. He made so much noise that a neighbor came just in time to save the woman, after he had in— flicted an ugly gash on her forehead. Mrs. Kippie quickly fled from the house. Kippie continued the battle with the neighbor, whom he finally overcame. He then went to find his wife. He overtook her in the yard, where she thought she was safe. Seizin'g her by the hair, he thrust the butcher knife into her breast again and'again. Kip- pie dropped his knife and ran, but was soon captured by the police. ' His trial was full of sensational inci— dents. It was claimed for him that be- cause of inherited and acquired degen— eracy, and because of wounds he had received on his head, he'was irresponsi- ble. Famous experts testified on both sides, and up to the day of his death some of them have vociferously declared that it was an outrage to hang a man with such a weakened brain as his. Dur- ing the trial he was seized with several fits, which rendered it necessary to keep him chained most of the time. An Indifferent Convict. An appeal.to the board of pardons proved ineffectual. Kippie thereupon settled down to a life of cold indifference in the prison. He cursed, sang songs and abused his keepers. None of his relatives came to see him. He resented the visits of Father Lynch, the Roman Catholic chaplain of the prison. He de- manded that Warden Woodbridge show him the articles cut from the newspa- pers before the prisoner was allowed to see them. If the papers were not de- livered at his cell at a certain hour he expressed his anger in vigorous lan- guage. As for death, he laughed at it. He heard that his brother Ed was coming from Fitchburg, Mass, to‘see him. As the hours passed and Ed did not appear he cursed the brother. But Ed was at the prison. The reason why Tom did not seehim was‘that he was so drunk that he could not be admitted and was outside threatening to kill ev- erybody who had a part in the hanging. Young Turks Arrested.

The remarkable cures accomplished in Norwalk during the last seven months are something to astonish and convince the most skeptical. N 0 won- der the people believe in it; no wonder a prominent druggist lately said:' ‘ Be- lief in California Catarrh Cure is an article of faith in the N orwalks, be- cause people know for themselves,with— out regard to what any interested parties say, of cures it has wrought among their friends and neighbors. ” Why 1 People have suffered for years, and never dreamed they could get any relief by using anything and some day a friend says: “California Catarrh Cure cured me, it will cure you, and yOu won’t have to wait to find out about it either. It relieves at once. ” Here are the words of one of your neighbors now, telling why she be- lieves in it. You know that it is true because you know her. Mrs. John Lycett, 21 High street, Norwalk, says:. “My daughter, Violet, has been troubled since childhood with catarrh, until her whole head seemed more or less diseased. She ‘had be- gun to be a little deaf, and suffered much with severe headaches so that we have had to keep her out of school a good deal. I sent her to Plaisted’s drug store, South N or- walk after a bottle of California Catarrh Cure and she commenced usingzit. Its beneficial effects have been simply wonderful. It has helped her from the first in every way. I have not heard her complain of a headache for a long time, and by the time she has finished her first bottle, I feel confident that 'she will be cured. ” Hay fever is entirely prevented by the use of this wonderful medicine, and when it is used colds never “hang on, ” but disappear promptly.

Pr. l.— Ho Was ,field Responsible For the Inaury to EmperorWilliam's Eye. ‘ Berlin, July‘ 15. —Great excitement reigns here over the reported death by drowning of Naval Lieutenant von Hahnke, the son of the president of the military cabinet, who had the watch on the imperial yacht 'Hohenzollern of: Odde,‘ Norv'vay, when the emperor’s eye was injUred by the end of a rope flying from the rigging. He was held to be Indirectly responsible for the irregular- ity in the rigging and withdrew in deep mortification to his cabin. Next day, when fears were expressed that the emperor might possibly lose his eye- sight as a, consequence of the accident, the young officer had himself rowed ashore with his bicycle and rode to the lonely lake of Lundven, where he was reported to have drowned himself by fishermen, who brought his bicycle and cap 'to the Hohenzollern, riding at an- chor. The emperor was visibly affected by the news and at once ordered 160 mn— rines to go ashore to recoverVon Hahn- ke’s body, The grief stricken father, it is said, will ask to be retifld, and the opposition newspapers of Germany ar- gue from this that it was the emperor’s personal reprimand, delivered in his characteristic harsh manner, that drove Von Hahnke to his death. MILLIONAIRII CREEDB’S DEATH. It Was Due to Accidental Self Poisoning According to the Coroner. Los Angeles, July 15.—“Accident'al self poisoning by an overdose of mor- phine taken to relieve pain” was the verdict of the coroner’s jury as to the cause of the death of Nicholas C. Creede, the mine owner, who was found dead in his home here night before last. During the inquest very little reference was made to his wife, from whom he separated six months ago, and whose return was conjectured to be one of the causes of the depression which was said to have been observed in him of late. The testimony went to show that Mr. Creede had recently used morphine to allay neuralgia pains and that it was entirely possible that he had accidental- ly taken too much. After a. short de~ liberation the jury returned a verdict to that effect. Mr. Creede’s lawyers are unable to say whether he left a will, and out of respect to him his papers have not yet been examined. The body will be placed in a. vault and will probably- be sent east. A Plain Hint to Spain. Washington, July 15.—Senator Davis, chairman of the committee on foreign relations, today reported from that com— mittee the following joint resolution: That the president be empowered to take such measures as in his judgment may be necessary to obtain the release from the Spanish government of Ona Melton, Alfred O. Laborde and William Gildea and the restoration of the schoon- er Competitor to her owner, and to se- cure this he is authorized and, requested to employ such means or exercise such power as may be necessary.
