Story of the Minder Which the Culprit Committed Last Fall. BriJgetou. X. J.-An accident turned the execution of Frank Kaisinger. the wife rEui'derPi*. in the jail yards here, into a distressing spectacle. When the drop was sprung at 9..17 | a. m.. the gallows rope parted, and the body fell through the open trap to the ground. In the fall Uaislnger's head struck with great force against a b*am of the scaffolding, the neck being broken. The physicians said that deatli was instantaneous. The rope was seized by the men on the scaffolding. aim tut* uuu^ was uem suspennea uy them for ten minutes to insure death. Raisinger showed the stoicism which marked his demeanor during his trial and after his sentence. As he passed through the sheriff's office, he merely said: "'Goodby. boys!" With his spiritual adviser on one side and' Sheriff Diament on the other, the condemned man walked across the jnilyard to the spot where the gibbet had been erected. He mounted the steps with a firm tread and was perfectly composed while the cap and rope were being adjusted. Just before the black hood was pulled down over his face, the sheriff asked him if he desired to say any thing: Raisinger shook his head. There was a cry of horror among the spectators as the body shot up in the air. and the rope was seen to snap. The body fell back again through the open trap, striking against the side of the aperture. Many of those present turned away in horror at the sight.

This human gallows performed its part for ten minutes, when the body was lowered and it was announced that life was extinct. Dr. Stites said, however, that the neck was broken by the fall, and that death had immediately occurred. Sheriff Diament was greatly affected by the accident. He said that he was unab!i> to account for the parting of the rope, which was three-quarters inch ruanilla. and which had been tested with weights 100 pounds heavier than the weight of Raisinger's body. It had been purchased especially for the execution. The men who had taken hold of the rope, also, after they had time to realize the part they had had in the hanging, were aimost overcome. The gallows used was the same on which Job Wiiliams was hanged two years ago for the murder of John S. Holmes and his housekeeper, Catherine Shute. Raisinger made his will the day before. leaving everything to his father, R P T*alcin<ror in frilKt fftl- his Srtll. Paul. Prosecutor Fithian assisted him in drawing np the document. It was reported that Raisinger bad made a new confession, which was to be made public after his execution, but the jail officials denied this. The crime for which Raisinger paid the death penalty was the murder of his young wife. On October 18, 1904. Raisinger went into the kitchen where she was at work and endeavored to kiss her. She repulsed him, and Raisinger left the house. Later, he returned. and in order to protect herself. Mrs. Raisinger seized a gun and threatened to shoot him. He again left, but a faw minutes later quietly re-entered, and securing the s^in. shot his wife. Death was not instantaneous, and Raisinger sent another load of shot into her body. He then arranged the body aud clothing of Mrs. Uaisingev to make it appear that she had been murdered. This theory was accepted by the neighbors, but later the coroner's physician pronounced the case one of suicide. and gave a certificate of burial. An investigation was begun by the prosecutor of the county, and detectives soon fastened the crime upon Raisinger. The fitter confessed. He was placed on trial in January, aua his testimony was of such a revolting character that the judge appealed to the murderer's counsel to remove the witness from the stand. mrs. ec i""ivaros It e I'IjTe ve d.

Letter j of the Executive Resented. 'Washington. D. C.-'The Senate ratified seren arbitration treaties, aft.er amending them by striking out the I word "agreement" in Artide II. and inserting the word "treaty." This was the answer of the Senate to the Presi dent's letter to Senator Cullono, wherein he Indicated that if the Senate exercised its prerogative-to amend the treaties he had submitted, as contemplated, he would decline to exchange ratifications. The rote on the amendment was 30 to 0. Appeals for delay were voted down, a motion to adjourn was defeated by 43 to li). and the Senate held two executive sessions to dispose of tlip treaties or.ee and for all. The feeling in the Senate was intense. though the f-xnressions of Senators were couchad in temperate language. There was more under than on the surface. References- to the Santo Domingo situation were both veiled and indirect, but the Senators present thoroughly understood tliat their action was intended to be a hint to the President not to go too fast in dealing with complicated foreign affairs without consulting the ooequai treaty making power. Statements clearly indicating that the Senators were aware of the gravity of the situation were mad* by such close friends of the President and the J Administration as Messrs. Lodge. For- | nL-or otid SnnAnoi' wild insisfpli tllflt the Senate should preserve its constitutional right to participate in the ranking of treaties without regard'to the desires of the President. Party Iin?s were forgotten in the discussiou. The 'overwhelming vote on the amendment was a sufficient Indication of the feeling of the Senate. The difficulty arose over an effort ivy the Senate to have itself consulted In cases of arbitration. .It sought to amend the arbitration. treaties so as to necessitate having every agreement for arbitration subletted to it for ratification, amendment or rejection. The | President strongly objected to any j such procedure. I The publication of his letter consid- I erably jarred the Senate's notions of j etiquette, as the treaties are supposed ' to be held under the strict seal of f?e- j crecy and are being considered by the j Senate in all the profound mystery and j impenetrability of secret sessions. The President so far disregarded this secrecy as to announce that the Committee on Foreign Relations has amended the treaties by substituting the word "treaty" for the word "agreement." ! The publication of his letter created the impression that he thinks it more important for the public to understand the situation with regard to the treat-, ies than for the Senace's seusibilities' to be respected. The arbitration treaties are with i Great Britain. France. Germany, Switzerland. Norway and Sweden. They are identical in terms. Despitej the strict secrecy with which the Senate has been guardln? their contents, and even their existence, it was learned that Article II. of each treaty makes this provision: ' In each individual case the high contracting parties before appealing to the Permanent Court of Arbitration shall conclude a special agreement de-' fining clearly the matter in dispute." . The Senate Committee on Foreign ,Re!ations changed the word "agreement" to "treaty." This was to compel the submission of the arbitration in each case to the Senate before permitting any arbitration, so that the Senate might have a chance to change the definition of the matters in dispute. The action taken was largely affected by the resentment over the President's ignoring of the Sennte in the matter of the Santo Domingo protocol, but it was really the outgrowth, of a bitterness that has been growing for a long time.
