F in a few minutes of the time set o no one except the sheriff, his it deputies and the witnesses knew t when the bhanging would be. The t scaffold was built about the stairs a the drop being through the open U area way. The sheriff, jailor J. 8. . King, deputies Patnotte and Ducks- a worth, the jail physician, a news-i paper man, a minister an4 one or two others employed about i the jail and sheriff's office, wereI the only witnesses. i Newkirk since his sentencing' evincedonly a brutishinditference ; tohisfate andeach day seemed: content to loaf in comfort and se curity of the moment. Friday b morning he insisted on a break. fastof pork chops and other c harty food, which was granted ' him. The sheriff had been im- a portuned in person and by letter a by scores of people who.wished , to witness the execution. All ( were refused. Newkirk entered the Rolf See berg Shap Obandlery store at i four o'clock on the morning of a January 21, intent on robbery, Chief Dickey followed him into e the stoke half an hour later and / received a charge of shot in the face and breast from Newkirk's pump gun. Captured after a sieeg of two bours. Newkirk narrowly es-! caped lynching and his ind'ct ment trial and conviction follow ed in a few bours, the shortest - time on record in a competent I court. Friday's execution, the first in Harrisoncounty in six years, was withuot a bitch. Newkirk went to the scaffold without a tremor and said be had made his peace with God. Why S. Yeu Sersab?
