Louisiana Pair Put To Death Friday 0 l i ? _ Franklin, La., Feb. 1.?The first white woman to be hanged by the court* of Louisiana and a prominent physician were executed here today a* a sequel to what the state main* tained was an illicit love affair, Mr*. Ada Bonner Leboeuf, W, and' I)r. Thomas E. Dreher, W, went to their death* for the murder of the woman's husband, James Leboeuf, Morgan City electrician. Both protested their inuocence to the end. Each requested the hang* man, a small middle aged New Or* Iranian, with his Idwer face shielded by a red bandana handkerchief, not to strangle them to death. Their Wiftb w** answered; the neck of ffeh was broken as the metal trap swung open with a rasping sound,' Mrs. Leboeuf. was first. Sheriff Charles Pecot went* to her cell at noon and asked her to come with him. "Out there?" she said. 'Out there Sheriff?" why do they want to hang me?" She was sitting on the edge of her cot, dressed in a plain pink linen Klip dress and white silk stockings. Her sleek, black bobbed hair curled over her olive skin. Her eyes were bright. "Sheriff, you know J am innocent. Why do .they want to hang me?" "1 know, Miss Ada, but we have done all we can. Come on," said the siui iff with glistening eyes. Arthur Martel, the jailer, reached down to put on her patent leather black pumps. His hands fumbled. "I will help you, Mr. Martel," said the woman clearly. With that she reached down and fastened the straps across her instep. "Come on, Miss Ada," pleAded, Sheriff Peoot. "Come on with me now. . ' "? "Where is the doctor?" cried Ada. "Where is he?" . "He i* down" ther,"' said the 'sheriff. "Oh, is hie?" she asked. She thpught a moment and looked Father J. J. Rousseau, pastor of the Church of the Assumption, seated in front of her. She smiled. "Oh, well, 1 suppose 1 must change this life for a better one," she said. She stood erect and walked from the cell with her left arm around the neck of Jailer Martol. She had only seven feet to walk from her cell to the death trap. Her eyes were blinded by a white ' handkerchief, and she did not see the rope. As she took her place on the trap with the jailer trussing her hands behind her back and her legs at the knees with a clothes line, she' spoke: "My mother! My mother! Oh, my Opd! Isn't this a terrible thing?, Don't let me hang there too long. Don't let me suffer. God forgive everybody. Isn't this a terrible thing? This is awful. This is murder itself." The black cowl was placftd over her head. The rope was adjusted with the knot at the right ear. I hat tope is too tight around my neck,'' she protested, ' ^ "No, it isn't" murmured Marteb " l'os, it is, Mr. Martel. Oh, My God, my God!" * P. Tier knees gave way. F-hc. struggled with the jailer. Clang went the hap. and ehe diedrI be body swung there for 11 minutes when, at 12: Id. the physicians : officially pronmim vd her dead. During all tois Doctor Dreher was j held a tew leet away in a cell behind K' lid steel dc or. lie could see nothing but could hear all. The t ap va> refastened. the rope leadjusted, the solid door was drawn op? n by .v.iei\fi Perot and his assistants. 1 but ?>r Dreher. both bands a . ;;,,d the ne* k of the Rev. J. A. McCormack, 1). 1).. minister of the. hrankhn Methodist church, stepaed eui.kiy to-ward and grasped She: iff P e o by ?re hard. He then grnsTd 'p. .et Martel-. hand. "I don't blame y u. I ferg'vi everybody," he .>aid. rle walked: , ig.jrously out of the cell, up the t winding stairs to the trap, followed by his minister, praying aloud. A- he mounted the stars h-. added: Poor M:-s Ada has gone. Clod have pity ?<f her soul. God have pity. Oh. my God!" Looking down below, he called out to Meigs (> Frost, New Orleans reporter, who had written news stor.es favorable t,, the condemned pair: "Mr. Frost, you know we did not do it. I thank you for what you have done." As the rope was adjusted, he cried wot: "All of you know I am innocent. 1 didn't do it. This 19 injustice." The black cowl was placed over hii head. "Oh, Godl- Have mercy, have mercy, oh, Godl" Turning hit black, cloth-covered head to the hangman, he said:: "Jusi don't let m? choke to death." The -3ee?\ - E trap wm sprung. At 12:41 physicians said he was dead. Both bodies were removed to undertaking establishments, and later the bell above Father RbsaeauV Church of the Assumption began slowly tolling the funeral knell as Mrs. (jeboeuf's body was borne in o hoarse through the streets, followed by an automobile cavalcade of rela tives and friends. They crowded in frbnt of the church as the pink-flowered coffin was brought in, After the Roman Catholic ritual, ' her body was taken to her home in nearby Morgan City, where it will be laid to rest beside that of her husband, Whom she said she loved and for whose murder she died. During the morning she talked freety as Tf addressing her husTJandr "Hon, you don't want th$m to hang me, do you? You know I didn't want you killed. You know you told me to call the doctor. You know I loved you. But they are going to hang me, Hon. Face God straight, Hon. I will meet yof?" there. Oh, I wish I could go back to my children, Hon. You want me to go back, I know. But I will meet you soon, Hon." Doctor Dreher's body was turned over to the undertaker for delivery , to Mrs. Dreher, who awaited its arrival at her home in Morgan City.
