a Final SUtemeat, Bet He Left a
Ceafessiea With Hii Spiritaal
Advisers. He Met Death
Without a Tremor.
At Charlottesville, Vs., without a
tremor J. Samuel McCue met death
ou tbe scaffold at 7.36 o'clock Friday
morning for wife murder. Hardly
bad his atrugglw ceased when bis
confession was given out by bis three
spiritual advisers. Revs. G. L Petrie,
H. B Lte acd John B. Thompson.
MoCue listened oalmly to tbe deatb
warrant, and when Sergeant R gars
asked: “Do you think that if 1 gave
you my arm you would be able to
walk to tbs scs fluidF’ be replied calm-
Ij: 'fl can walk without your aid."
Oj tbe way be Humbled once or
twice and tbe < ffloen proffered assis
tance. It was not needed, however.
There was no weakness. MoCue bad
merely slippec on tbe frozen snow.
Watched by a silent crowd of perhaps
30 people, McCue mounted tbe scat
fold. By this time the sunlight was
strearning aeroal the house tops around
him. Not a muscle of bis face roofed
Regers and tv o guard* ascended tbe
set.Hold with him. The prisoner was
placed over tt e trap, hi* arms were
pinioned and bte ankles strapped. Tbe
black gown wt! folded around him and
the noose a^ju ;ted. "" -'
All this while McCue stood without
moving. The hope that be might
make , aome s’atement before he died
finally passed away. Tbe cowl dropped
over bis head, and be had seen bit laat
of the world. Not a word bad be ut
tered. Before he placed the rope about
oCue'a neck Sergeant R ger* put his
over the condemned man's should
ers and whispered something to him.
Wben^verything was ready Mr. Reg
spok« to McCue, asking him
if he bad any atatement to make.
“None at alV’ was bis answer. Tbe
trap was spruhg and 19 minutes after
ward MoCue was prom uoced dead of
strangulation. His neck was not brok
en.
