Ilallenbeek. in the village of C.reoiulalo, Columbia County, on Christinas Kve two year.4 ago. Tile lirst to die was Willis, the oldest, chosen because Warden Ceorgc Doyo thoughl him to be physically the weakest of the throe and so most liable to a breakdown. Frederick, the youngest of the brothers, followed Willis to the death chamber, and Burton went to his doom last. i The execution was pronounced by the experts who witnessed it to be the most skillful that ever took place in 1 this prison. The three men went to their death calmly and bravely and their deaths were absolutely without incideut except for the audibly murmured prayers of the youngest, who died with the name of the lteity on his lips, and the fact that Willis, the eldest. assisted the keepers wito were strapping him into the death chair in adjusting the fastenings. The time that elapsed between the <>ll I l"l "I' ... ...?- iii?m ui ilie uiree men into the dentil room ami the deehiration by Prison Physician Hansom that the third man was dead was fifteen minutes. The otheial time taken by tl?e attendants was sixteen minutes and twenty seconds. Nearly two minute* of thi* time was occupied by the six physicians present in examining Burton's body with a stethoscope alter l>r. Itansom had examined him and found him to be dead. The otheial table of time, to use the hare and cold formula in which Dr. ltnnsotn announced it, is as follows: Willis Door. 11.IS0.40; s.rst current. ll.iib.40: second current. 1l.till.HJ; third current. 11.3C.40; declared dead, 11.38.30.

Burton- Door, 11.47.05: first current, 11.47.53; second current. 11.48.30; third current. 11.40.00; declared dead. 11.31.00. Of this time but two minutes and forty seconds were consumed in fastening the men into the chair, and four minutes fifteen seconds for killing tb" three. From the time that the first victim entered the death room until the Inst hotly had been removed to the mnrmin ?* ' nni'llirril IIIIUUIOS. Tlie conduct of the three men in meeting their deaths was said by Warden De.vo to have l?een far better than he had dared to hope for. The executions were devoid of those incidents that have made many previous executions by electricity offensive. This triple execution raises to a total of seventy-three the list of the murderers who have died in the electric chair during the sixteen years since that form of death-method superseded the gallows. The execution of three brothers at one time is not unprecedented. On June 7. 1 S'Jo. for murdering a peddler, three brothers- Nelson. Isra?'l. Jr.. and Isaac Thayer -of Iioston. Krie County, were hanged on a triple gallows in a public square in ButTalo. Within the same walls in which the executions oecurred is eon lined the Van Wormers* comrade in tin* murder of I'eter A.
