ATTMEVS SEEKTB SAVE DM Walks to the Gallows With a Firm Tread and Dies Without Making a Xaununt Crime for Which He Was Cenvicted. . LINCOLN, Neb. William Rhea, coiiTicted of tie murder of Herman Zahn, a saloonkeeper of Snyder, Neb., was hanged at 1:23 o'clock Friday. The flour of the execution was to hare been durin the noon internvia ston at the penitentiary while the prisoners were in their cells, bat ow ing to the fact that the attorneys who were seeking to save the life cf Rhea by means cf injunction had not fln ished their Tlea to the supreme court, the warden postponed the time by order of the court. It was expected that Rhea would make a statement, but he declined to do bo and wasted the execution to take place with as much expedition and as little ceremony as possible. Not even a minister was present on the scaffold with him, although Rev. Williams, the prison chaplain, was in his cell during the morning. Shea had stated some time before that he thought he was ready to die and had derived much comfort from the read ing of religious literature. Though apparently somewhat nervous and trembling, he walked to the scaffold with a firm tread, between the two attendants who led bim to his doom. h grasping him firmly by an arm. t On the scaffold, while his hands and feet were being tied and the noose was being adjusted, he stood firmly. with head erect and a defiant look-1 The only words he uttered were after ft the black cap haa been drawn over his head and the noose was being ad justed. He said to Detective Stryker: "Don't draw the rope quite so tight." The death warrant was read to Rhea at 11:30 a. m.. by B. Fairfield, clerk in the warden's office. At noon he ate . a hearty dinner. At 1:20. between two stout guards, James Delehanty, acting deputy warden, and James Stewart, his special death watch, he entered the west cell room, where the scaffold was placed. At 1:23 the trap was sprung and William Khea hung twitch ing at the end o the same rope which hanged Niegesfind. It was not until fourteen minutes had elapsed that he was pronounced by the physicians as lifeless. While a minute examination was not made, the doctors claim that his neck was cot broken, and that strangulation was the cause of death. This was due to the fact of his light weight. For this reason it was also necessary to use the long drop of six feet. Immediately after the trap was sprung the pulse cf Rhea sprang from the normal to 160. In five minutes it had dropped to 12G and gradually grew less until at last not a flutter could be felt. Rhea was convicted of the murder of Herman Zahn. a saloonkeeper of Snyder, on the night of January 4, 1303, whiJe holding up the place. Rhea, with two companions, had been drinking and carousing for two days. The evidence at the trial showed that when the men entered the saloon. Zahn pleaded with them to leave, and that thereupon Rhea shot him dead and kicked him several times as he lav lifeless en the floor. GAIL ALLOWED FOR DEWEYS.
