Worincr brothers. Willis. Burton and
Kredcrick, wort' put to (loath in tlio
electric oliuir in Clinton prison botwoon
11,;tr. anil 11.4S o'clock in the morning
of tlto day fixed for execution for the
murder of tliolr unt ie, l't tor A. 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.
Fred?Door, 11.41.lib; first current,
11.42.1a; second current, ll.42.4Ii; third
current. 11.43.20; declared dead.
11.44.00.
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.

executions oecurred is eon lined the

conviction by turning State's evidence
and fastened the crime upon the three
brothers. He is serving a sentence of
eighteen years, which will cut by
good conduct to eleven years and two
months.

The uin-iilitu vL-ii- 1 >?? ? is:t
I us compared with $! 1.2X7,37."? in 1902.
In the receipts there was in increase
nf upwards of $30,000,000 front easterns.
and a falling off of over $41,000.000
from internal revenue, the latter
being the result' of legislation enacted
with that object. On the side of expenditures
there was an increase in
ev ry important account, except pensions
and interest, in which there wero
slight savings. The expenditures for
the two military departments, wliieo
together amounted to $11?1.237.">r?4.
forming by far tlte heaviest outlay for
any single purpose, were upward of
$21,000,000 greater I linn the year botore.
