THREE DIE IN DEATH CHAIR
Brothera Art Electrocuted for the Murder
of Thair Unole.
ONLY FIFTEEN MINUTES NECESSARY
Crime for Which They Tay Penalty
i
Aetaated hy Revenge (or the
Foreclosure of Mortgage oa
Stepmother's Home.
DANNEMORA, N. Y., Oct. 1. Without
one unforeseen incident to mar the perfect
and dignified execution of the death penalty
Imposed by tile trial court, sustslned by
the court of appeals and not Interfered
with by Governor Odell, Willis, Frederick
M. and Burton Van Wormer were put to
death In fifteen and one-half minute at
Clinton prison today for the murder et
their unc, Peter A. Hatlenbeck, at Green
dale on Chrlstma eva 1J01.
The men walked from the door of their
cells In the care of their priest and flanked
on either side by prison deputies, with calm
demeanor but extreme pallor.
Father Bolanger, a picturesque white
haired figure, not In the robes of his office,
but In the every-day black frock coat of
clerical cut, with a llttlo purple 'stole about
the shoulders, walked along with each of
the condemned men In turn, saying word
of consolation.
Condemned Men Executed.
Wll'ls Van Wormer entered the death
chamber at 11:31:30, the current was turned
Into his body one minute later and at 11:37
he was declared dead.
-At 11:41:30 Frederick entered the death
chamber. At-11:42 the current was turned
on and he was declared dead at 11:43:30.
Burton entered the death chamber at
11:47. The current was turned on at 11:47:30
and he was declared dead at 11:48:30. The
entire proceeding from the start of the first
man from his cell to the doctor's declara
tion of the death of the last consumed but
fifteen and one-half minutes, and no un
toward Incident marred the execution of
the law.
During -the first execution Father Char
bonneau remained In the corridor between
the death cells, reading prayers and Invo
cations to the remaining Wormers. Every
precaution had been taken to prevent the
remaining men from hearing more than tlio
departure of their brother from .the room.
The doors had been padded agd the In
terstice stuffed with cotton, so that the
step of those who removed the lifeless
bodies from the death chamber to the
morgue could not be heard.
Execution of the First.
Three applications of the current and
four minute time were required for the
execution of Willis, but only two ap
plication of the full current were deemed
necessary In the case of Frederick and two
minutes from the time he crossed the
threshold of the room the doctor
pronounced him dead. The bodies wire
carried out Into the prison morgue, nnd
the summons for . the last brother was
taken back by the guard. Father Belanger
went with them and when Burton Van
Wormer was brought Into the presence of
death he waa accompanied by two priest.
Father Charbonneau, having no further
need to remain In the cell room.
Burton was unable to sit up straight In
the chair beoause the strap did not reach
high enough to blindfold him. As the
current switched on he was still looking
over the edge of the strap at the priest.
He was Mlled even more easily than the
ether two. The current was turned on at
11:47:30.- Only ono application' was re
quired, though It wa retarm;?' 'slightly
longer at full, pressure than . the other
case.
.Doctors Examine Bodies.
Dr. Damon, Spitska and McDonild had
carefully examined the other two men'
bodies, but In the case of Burton, the last,
other physicians who were present among
the witnesses were asked to step forward
and examine the body a it remained In
the chair,-' and so the official pronounce
ment of doath was naturally delayed.
In the case of Willis tM current was on
three contacts for sixty seconds; In that of
Fred, two contacts, one minute and five
seconds; In that of Burton, with but one
contact, one minute and thirteen seconds,
so that the actual time consumed In ex
ecuting' the three men was five minutes
and fifty-four seconds.
Last Day on Earth.
Cloudy skies and drizzling rain darkened
the cell room at the awakening of the three
Van Wormer brothers to their last day on
earth.
The condemned men did not sleep' last
night until nearly 3 o'clock this morning,
but tossed uneasily upon their cot. The
last thing any of them said last night to
Assistant Chief Keeper Nash was from the
Up of Burton. Said he:
I have no more fear of the electric chair
than of this meal which we are about to
eat. I would lust as leave be the lust one
to go In, for I know that I can stand the
farewell. I am not afraid.
This wa not said boastfully, but very
quietly.
Keeper Murphy, who wa In the cell room
from midnight until 8 a. m., said when he
came off duty this morning that he never
had ceen men better prepared 'for death or
more fully In possession of their nerve.
"I tell you," said he to the Associated
Press representative, "they were a lot more
self-controlled' than I. Leaving out any
question of their &ullt, or whether or noty
they ought to die, I have come to like those
three fellows and It made me feel bad to
say goodby to them."
Willi Van Wormer said this morning to
Keeper Murphy: '
I only wish there were three chairs In.
stead of one, so that we could all go to
gether. The hardest part of It all la the
suspense, but we are ready. We are grate-
iui lor ma hiuqupm wnicn everyDoay about
the prison has shown to us.
Awakened hy the Keeper.
Keeper Murphy awakened the young men
shortly after 7 o'clock this morning. They
were a Utile dased at first, sound sleep In
the later hours having followed the rest
lessnes after midnight but almost Im
mediately they were awake to a full reali
sation of the fact that this wa their last
day on earth. Their new clothes were ready
ror them and they at once clothed therri

execution, a gray flannel shirt and dark
trousers, each with the-right leg slit to

the knee to allow the attachment of the
lower electrode.
They took no breakfast In accordance
with the Catholic requirement to come
fasting to their rommunlon, which Father
Belanger administered to them lster. They
said, moreover, that they would not eat
again, so that their meal at midnight was
the last.
Frederick, the youngest, who ha all along
been the least Impressed of the three and
at all times ha shown more bravado than
the other, said to Keeper Murplly a he
dressed himself: "Well I suppose by this
time tomorrow w shall be In Klnderhook,"
evidently Intimating that the brothera ex
pert their bodies to be taken for burial to
their home. ,
Scene la Moat Impressive.
It would be difficult to Imagine a cene
more Impressive than the solemn service
In th room of the teel cage, where
Father Belanger and Charbanneau. ' a
little after o'clock, administered to the
three brother' their first and last com
munion, signalizing .'their full acceptance
Into the faith ot the Rman Cathollo
church. To tho fullest poeslbl extent, the
privacy of the ceremony ws assured, all
keepers except the Inexorable death watch
being excluded. The ancient ritual of the
Lord's supper after the manner of the
Catholic church wa observed.
A few feet away In hi cell, under like
condemnation of death, sat Allen Mooney,
tho only other 'prisoner In the cell room,
listening to the ceremony.. He stands con
victed of tbe murder of two Women at
Sarannc lake. ,
The routine of the prison was carried on
without a break early today In contrast
with the former custom, of locking the men
In their cells upon a day of execution.
- In Good -Condition.
Dr. Ranson. the prison physician, visited
the condemned men In their cells this
morning and closely noted their physical
condition. In the meanwhile Warden Deyo
had decided upon the order In which the
men will go to. the chair, a follows: First,
Willis, the oldest and most Impressionable
of the three; second, Frederick, the young
est, who has seemed to be the most hard
ened; third. Burton, the second In point of
age.'
At 9:30 It wa reported by the warden
that the men were In the best possible con
dition both of -mind and body and well
nerved for their ordeaL
History of the Tragedy.
In almost all respects the tragedy which
closed today at Clinton prison with' the
death in the electric chair of the three
brothers Van Wormer wa unique In mod
ern criminal history. Only once before in
this state is It recalled that' three brothers
have gone to their death together for a
murder In which they were Jointly con
cerned. On Christmas eve, 1901, with their cousin,
Harvey Bruce, the three brothers drove
from their home In Klnderhook, some four
teen miles, to tho hamlet of Greendale, In
Columbia county, where lived Peter A.
Hallenbeck, the uncle of the Van Wormers.
On the way they stopped at the Greendale
church, where they stole from the vehicles
of the farmers a number of robe and
whip.
Thence they went on to the Hallenbeck
house, where- Mr. Hallenbeck, hi wife and
his agedv mother were sitting in the lamp
light In their Irving 'room.. Both the women
saw them drive past - A few moments later
there was a knock at the door and Mr.
Hallenbeck answered . It, to find masked
men before him aimed with revolvers. Bur
ton Van Wormer led the way and with him
the old man grappled .
At once all four began a fusillade of pistol
shots, which fairly. riddled the body of Mr.
Hallenbeck. 'Irs."f Hallenbeck, the wife,
f an. into. tho. kitchen ajid -the brothers Bhot
at her, but missed.. Her husband ordered
her to flee and' sHet-ram "upstair, -whither
the older -woman had-preceded her, and
the two barricaded themselves in the attic.
Mr. Hallenbeck-' although mortally
wounded, broke away from his assailants
and went to the landing of the stairs,
where he kept a loaded shotgun. The as
sailants saw him got the gun and fled. The
old man fell to the floor and died.
Betrayed by Footprlnta.
The four young men were soon afterward
arrested, betrayed by their footprint in the
snow, and because they were known to
have harbored bitter feelings and to have
made threats against their uncle. They
were brought to trial before an extraordi
nary term of the supreme court appointed
by Governor Odell and presided over by
Justice Alden Cherter of Albany, on March
30. 1902. ' '.
Harvey Bruce turned state' evidence,
and It was t a large extent upon hi testi
mony that the conviction of ' the Van
Wormer brother wa secured. He swore
that on the ride back from the scene of
the crime each of the brother boasted
of having shot the uncle. ,
It was shown thaf the bitterness which
the brothers felt toward their uncle was
due chiefly to his having foreclosed a
mortgage upon the property at Greendale
owned by their ' stepmother, the loss of
which compelled their removal to Kinder-
hook.
Sentenced to Death.
On April 8 all three wero found guilty
and sentenced to be put to death In the
week ending May 30, 1902. Their appeal t
the court of appeal noted a a stay, a:
the case went over to the present year.
Judge O'Brien, In writing the unanimous
opinion of the higher 'court against the
appeal, pronounced incredible the main
pla of defense, that the expedition of the
four to Hallenbeck s house was In the na
ture of a young men's prank, the fatal
outcome of which had not been part of
the plan.
The court fixed upon the week of ffuly
6 for the carrying out of the death sen
tence, but the Van Wormer' have been
twice respited by Governor Odell.
Except for the effort of Judge Cady In
their behalf, and tor the futile attempt of
Mrs. Van Wormer, the stepmother of tbe
condemned men, to appeal to Governor
Odell, no voice ha been raised In their
behalf. " v
No Reason for Clemeaey.
It I known that Governor Odell would
have welcomed any plausible ground upon
wlrtch to commute the sentence, a he
felt that little good would result to the
public mind from the morbid Interest, at
taching to the triple execution.
Harvey Bruce, their fellow In the crime
for which they died today, was tried alone
and was sentenced to Imprisonment for
eighteen year.
Mr. Hallenbeck soon followed her hus
band to the grave, a did also the aged
mother of the murdered man. A brother,
George A. JsMlenbeck, survive, but he Is
broken in health and nerve by the awful
tragedy enacted almost within hi hear
ing. - The triple execution of today raised to
a total of seventy-three the list ot mur-
dorer who have died In the electric chair.
The simultaneous execution of three broth
er I not unprecedented in the history
et New York state, although to And the
parallel one must go back to June T,
1825, when three brothers. Nelson, Israel.
Jr., and Isaac Thayer, of the town of
Boston. Erie' county, were hanged simul
taneously on a triple gallows, erected at
the west side of Niagara square, la th
city of Buffalo. The crime for which th
Thayer died was th butoh.ry ot a ped
dler named John Love.

Head of Iron Workeri Frorei Eii Ability to

Opponents.
KANSAS CITY, Oct. 1 Frank Bu
chanan's re-election as president of thi
International Association of Bridge Struc
tural Iron Workers is assured, according to
hls friends tonight, who lay iositlve claim
to forty-eight out of the eighty-three votes
In the annual convention now in session
here. Not until this morning did Presi
dent Buchanan make known his determi
nation to run for re-clectlon, and then It
was stated he had done so only after he
felt that the convention had endorsed his
actions and after his supporter had In
sisted that he could win out. Tonight,
after he had succeeded In getting the con
vention today to endorse without opposi
tion the bill of expenses, presented on be
half of Robert Neldlg, the deposed he:id
of local No. i of New York, and to onler
his own personal expense bills paid. Presi
dent Buchanan expressed commence In his
final victory over the Parks crowd. Pre
viously Samuel Parks had declared that he
would fight agulnst paying this money.
Today he voted with the rest of the dele
gates to support the president's claim.
"I am no knocker," he declared, and the
New York walking delegate made no effort
to fight the bill. Tonight Mr. Parks re
fused to give any figures, but reasser.e 1
his claim thut H. F. Donnelly of Albany
would be named for president. "1 have
said from the stnrt that we would elect
Donnelly and you can count ou our doing
so."
The election probably will take place to
morrow. A Buchanan partisan said today: "Mr.
Buchanan would not have announced hi
candidacy unless ho had strong belief that
he wculd win." .
President Buchanan said:
Thli statement that Sam Parks has
domliated thin convention Is ridiculous.
The tonventlon has emphatically endorsed
me by adopting tho majority of the recom
mendations in my report, including af
filiation with the American Federation of
Labor. Tli public mey distort t-uch action
as being favorable to Parks if they want
to, but the fact Is that Parks Is simply
falling Into line. sAs soon as he saw the
way the convention was endorsing my
recommendations he made haste to get
Into the band wagon.
The Parks people assert as positively, as
ever that their candidate, H. F. Donnelly
of Albany, will be elected. The election will
take place tomorrow, and In the light to
name the head of the organization will lay
the real struggle of the convention be
tween the Parks and the anti-Parks ele
ments. "
Power to Call n Strike.
An important piece of work accomplished
at the morning session today wa the adop
tion of an amendment to the constitution
limiting the power of the president and ex
ecutive committee In calling strikes.
The amended article In the constitution
a adopted follows:
When a general agreement Is to be en
tered Into It shall be drawn up arid en
tered Into by the executive board, and one
member from each local that Is not rep
resented on said board, said member to be
elected by his respective local union, an1
the expenses of such member to be puld by
the local of which he Is a member.-
A personal victory for . President ' BuL"
chanan wax won when the convention Ap
propriated $196 to pay the expense to .Kan
sas City of Robert Neldlg, the president of
Union No. 2 of New York. Mr. Neldlg
came to the convention upon the Invitation
of President Buchanan. He wa fought by
the Parks crowd, principally, it was said,
because he had supported President Bu
chanan In upholding the latter' action in
suspending Parks and local No. 2.
Later, when Neldlg was refused the priv
ilege of sitting In the convention, Parks
nindo a fight on paying his expenses. The
convention also passed favorably upon the
usual routine bills presented by President
Buchanan. A resolution providing fort a
standard initiation fee ot $26 In all the
locals wa adopted.

SAULT STE. MARIE, Mich., Oct 1. The
