Boldest of Thefts Committed at
Berea, Ohio.
SAFE IS BADLY WRECKED AND LOOTED
Mooty fiecnred Ajitricllnr More Than
100,000 Unlteratty a lleny l.iivnr
Property Mainly In Same of
Haldn In Hchoot--Olher Num.
One of the boldest robberies ever
perpetrated in Ohio occurred at tin
early hour In almost the heart of the
village, of Jlerca. The hardware store
Lawrence fc llrlghtman was entered,
the lnrgc safe was wrecked and the
robber made good their escape, curry
ing with them booty aggregating more
than 8100,000.
llaldwin university bears the heav
iest loss. 0. C. Itrlghttuau, the junior
member of the Jirm. Is also the treas
urer and trustee of llaldwin univer
sity, and nil of the valuable papers of
the institution which were left in
llrightman's custody were kept in the
safe, lionds, deeds and mortgages of
the university, aggregating 8100,000 in
value, were secured by the. robbers.
Many of tho notes held by Baldwin
university were of long standing and
lorc numerous endorsements, making
it impossible to produce them in dupll
plicate. A diligent neureh for the
thieves haH been Instituted, but ns yet
w.Vclne to their whereabouts or iden
tity has licen established.
A fact regarded as most singular Is
that the explosion of tho safe was
heard by parlies residing a half mile
north und more than that distance
southward of the center of town, while
those residing in the business district
were unaware that an explosion had
occurred.
D'J'hc force of the explosion was terrif
ic. The safe was constructed on fire,
and burglar proof principles, yet the
heavy doors were twisted from their
hinges as if made of paper and large
pieces of the safe doors were firmly
embedded in the walls of the building,
one section weighing lifty pounds be
ing blown clear clear through a parti
tion into an adjoining room. Six men
arc believed to have engaged in the
affair.
THREATENS ITS SUCCESS
Irrllatleii Cropping Oat In rii-Auierlaii
Congrei.
In the City of Mexico the discussions
of the Pan-American congress arc as
suming a character which displeases
those who are hoping for the success
or the gathering. At one session
chapter 1 of the proposed regulations
relative to the powers of secretary gen
eral was approved. When chapter 1!
was reached it was practically set aside
and a committee was appointed which
will have power to ilx the points which
the conference is to discuss.
This may menu that all Chile's efforts
to secure tho restriction of arbitration
to future questions may prove fruitless.
Though no special contentious points
have yet been reached, u certain irri
tability is uppearent among the mem
bers of congress.

An Auburn, N. V., dispatch of Oct.
'JO says: At 7: IS l-'J o'clock Leon CV.nl
gosr., murderer of President Wllllnui
McKlnley, paid the extreme penalty
exacted by tho law for his crime. He
was allocked to death by I.70U volts of
electricity. Ho went to the chair In
exactly the same muniier as have tho
majority of murderers lu this state,
showing no partlular signs of fear, lu
fact doing what few of them luuo
done-talking to tho witnesses while
he was being strapped to the chair
"I killed the president because he
was an enemy of tho good pcoplo the
good working people. 1 am not f orry
for my crime."
These were, his words 11s the guards
hurried htm Into the ehnlr.
A moment later, mumbling through
the half-adjusted race, straps, he said:
"I am awfully sorry 1 could not. sco
my father."
Warden Meade raised his hnud, and
at 7:1 l:Mo Klcctrlcliin Davis turned on
the switch and threw 1,700 volts of
electricity Into the living body.
The rush of the current threw thu
body so hard against tho straps that
they creaked perceptibly. The hands
clinched suddenly and tho whole atti
tude was one of extreme tenseness.
For forty-fivu seconds the full current
was kept on, "ml then slowly the
olcctriclun threw the swltchwlyujlt, re
ducing the current o!t by vmi un
til It was cut off entirely. Then, just
as it had reached that point, ho threw
the lever back again for two or three
seconds. Tho body, which had col
lapsed ns tho current was reduced,
stiffened up again against the straps.
When It was turned off again Dr.
MucDoiiald steppeil to tho ehair and
put his hand over tho heart. He said
he felt no pulsation, but suggested
that the current be turned on for a
few seconds, again. Once inoro thu
body became, rigid. At 7:1ft tho cur
rent was turned off for good.
BODY WILL BE CONSUMED

Naturally almost thu entire, atten
tion of tho physicians assigned to hold
tho autopsy wan directed toward dis
covering, If possible, whether the as
sassin was in any wuy mentally Irre
sponsible. The top of tho head wits sawed
through the thickest part of tho skull
which wns found to be. of normal
thickness, and It was tho unanimous
opinion of the doctors after microspo
icul examination that the brnin was
normal or slightly above normal. This
demonstrated to the satisfnetou of the
physicians that In noway was Czolgosz
inontal condition, except as it might
havo been perverted, responsible for
tho crime.
Warden Mead conferred witli some
of the physicians present and deter
mined in conjunction with such Inves
tigation th. the purpose of tho law
wns the destruction of the Iwxly, und
that It was not necessary to use quick
limo for that' end. Accordingly 11 ear
boy of acid was obtained and poured
upon thu body in the cotlln after it had
been lowered in tho grave. Straw was
used in the four corners of the grave
as the earth was put in to give veut to
bitch gases as might form.
