HIS OWN HANGMAN Frank Barker Requests Privilege of Belnft His Own Executioner. Lincoln, Nob , May 15.- Frank Bar ker, murderor of his brother and sister-in-law, near Inavale, iu Webster county, is to bo his own hangman. His execution is to occur on Juno 10. Tho law requires that all legal executions in Nebraska shall bo held at tho penitentiary, under tho biiporvisiou of tho warden, it does not spoblfy, however, that tho warden or any other person shall spring tho trap. In Barker's caso, Warden Boomer shrinks from tho duty, as do other olllolals at tho penitentiary. But Barker has stopped into tho breach and informed tho warden that he will bo his own hangmau. Barkor has frankly confessed that heisguilty. Tho warden was not satisilod that huch a proceeding would bo legal, and ho accordingly presentod tho niattor to tho oillco of attorney general for a legal opinion. Doputy Attorney General Thonip sou gave tho subject thoughtful con sideration and liuully advised tho warden that tho law merely made it mandatory upon tho latter to see to it that Barkor is haugoil upon tho day llxed by tho cour'ts decree, and that there was nothiug whatever to pro hibit Barkor from acting as his own executioner if ho saw lit. Thoarrangomonts for tho execution provido that ouo of the warden's as histants is to adjust tho black cap over Barker's head and pluco tho ropo about tho condemned man's neck. An olectricol contrivance is to con trol the trap, counoctod up with a wire running Into Barkers hands The latter will bo strapped to his hips, but Barker wlM have froo uso of his fingers and will push tho button re . leasing, tho trap. Ou 'Wednesday Attorney F. G. Humor requested permission to Hie a motion for a rehearing In tho case of Frank Barkor. It Is not thought tho request will be granted. Frank has been placed in solitary confinement, and ho is just beginning to realize that ho has but a short timo to livo. Attorney Humor has not Riven up all hope of saving Frank's neck. NO NEW TIUAL.
