The door to the enclosure is on the west side. On the right hand side of the entrance is a pair of steps which leads to the platform above. Running up through the centre of the platform, are two upright beams 1x8. with a braced cross beam over- h ‘ad. Through the centre of the cross beam is a bolt with an eyelet, and a one inch heump roap. A rock that weighs about one hundred and fifty pounds was fastened to the rope Wednesday and remained there until this morning to stretch it. In the centre of the platform are two trap doors arranged so that they both will fall at the same instant. These trap doors were held in u’.ace bv two oak strips 3-4x1 1-4 inches and about two feet long. A five foot lever made of oak completes the ap paratus. This lever runs from the triggers through the floor and ud to the scaffold and is held in place by a pin. The sheriff pulls the lever, knocking away the braces and the condemned man shoots through tn ■ ooening made by the falling of the tra;> doors.
