SHE SCARES THE SHERIFF
Ifrs, Oaiter'i Raalittio Aoting Too Muoh
for Limb of the Lw.
POWER INTIMIDATED BY WOMAN'S RAGE
(iiirn on Stne lo Collect an Old Judic
ium!, but Ileeldes lo Atvult u
Jlore Fit vo ruble Oiinor
( nutty.
Mrs, Lcsllo Carter's power os a realistic
KCtross has boon proved to tho entlro sat
isfaction of tho sheriff of Douglas county,
who Is a whole Power lu himself, by tho
way. Kver slnco tho year 1891 a Judg
ment for an oven $t,000 bill has been writ
ton on tho records of tho Douglas county
court ngalust Cn roll no IuIho Carter and
In fnvor of Dr. Clark (iapen. Tho Judg
jiicnt was recovered on a claim for medi
cal nud legal services. On Thursday, after
Mrs, Carter's trunks, full of Parisian
gown, lingerie, headgear nnd footwear,
had been unloaded nt lloyd's theater, Dr.
Onpen's lawyer thought ho recognized a
opportunity to collect. So ho hied him
Bolf to tho county court, secured n writ
of attachment and placed It In tho hands
of the sheriff for service,
rri'iinri'n to .fleet Arti'mm.
That night Sheriff Power got n shave,
n shampoo and n shine, dressed up In his
Sunday clothes, cocked his brown derby
nattily over his right eyo and prepared to
meet the great actress. With the assur
niico of a man who has tho law on his
Hide, ho Mid plana that seemed easy of
execution. Ho would go to tho stage door,
demand admittance by authority of his
olllclal position, Intercept Mrs. Carter In
tho wings and cither collect tho amount
of tho Judgment In cash or carry nway
cunugh femlnlno wearing apparel to mako
half of tho women In Oimilia glorious on
JJaster Sunday. It was too easy, reckoned
the sheriff.
What tho sheriff anticipated nnd what
tho sheriff realized, howover. were two
very different things. Let hlra tell It In
his own way;
"I had no troublo getting past the turn
key on tho outside door, but I had plenty
of It after I got Inside.
(Jet Into llevy of Women.
"I nover saw so many actresses all at oncii
In my life as there were crowded around
mo on that stage. How many? Why, It
peemod to mo Rko there wore nt least a
hundred, Somebody told 'cm I was the
sheriff and theu they begnn to Jolly me.
Ono asked mo If I had a Jimmy In my
jiocket nnd unother wanted to know what
I'd do with u lot of woman's flxln's If 1
nhould happen to got 'em. Flnnlly an
Irishman dressd up like a Frenchman como
over to me and said ho was tho stago man
iigrr and ahked mo what I wanted, I told
him I wanted Mrs. Cnrler, ond ho pointed
out to tho center of tho stage
nd snld; 'Thero she Is go nnd get her,' I
wnsn't In the humor to cut In on tho play
and besides, I don't know enough French to
last me three seconds In u show llko 'Zaza.'
So I JiiBt concluded to keep my eyo on Mrs.
Outer, sluce tho had been pointed out to
me, nnd nail her when sho got through with
tho scene.

Stiiiiiunry of Local Executions Wlttihi
tlic .Memory of the Present
General Inn Lynching of
(rurKf .Smith.
Omaha has probably seen Its last hang
ing. A bill passed by the recent legislature
and signed by tho governor provides that
capital punishment In tho stato of Ne
braska Is hereafter to bo inflicted only
within tho walls of tho penitentiary at Lin
coln. No matter in which county n person
Is tried and convicted of a capital offense,
the condemned must bo taken to Lincoln
and turned over to tho warden of tho big
state prison, who will attend to the details
of sending tho souls into eternity.
This now Nebraska law follows tho ex
ample set by tho states of Now York and
Ohio, lu which legal executions havo for
somo years been confined to tho precincts
of tho stato prisons. It Is not to savo the
counties tho expense, but to rollovo them
of tho dreadful spectacles, that the change
has been made. A black-shrouded wrcteh
hanglug by the nock In expiation of some
horrlblo crime Is not a picture to bo ad
mired in any community, and so long as
such spectacles must bo endured It Is bet
ter for the public that they should bo shown
only within tho gloomy walls of tho felons'
home.
Within tho raomory of tho present gen
eration Omaha lias had four legal execu
tions nnd ono lynching, nnd no good citizen
will regret that the curtain has descended
upon tho last act of tho gruesome play.
Now that the curtain lias fallen, tho his
tory of capital punishment in Omaha may
bo written with tho hope that an appendix
need sever be added.

There were, of course, soveral hangings
in Douglas county prior to tho execution of
Ed Neal, but, fortunately, thoy were of In
frequent occurrcpco and tho memory of nil
but the older citizens runneth not to them.
Neal was hung at noon on Friday, October
9, 1891. Tho gallows was erected In nn en
closure formed by the slono walls of ths
court houso and tho Jnll and two temporary
walla mado of rough pine boards. Moro
than 250 people, who hod been provided
with tickets by the sheriff, crowded Into
tho small enclosure to witness tho dreadful
act.
Tho superstitious mny find food for
thought in the fact that tho number of phy
blclans In attendance was Just thirteen. They
were Drs. Coffman, Stone, Harrlgan, Lari
mer, Summers, Jonas, Freeman, Bridges,
Lee, Williams, Holovotchlner, Illert and
Allison. These thirteen men of medicine
could not agree upon tho tlmn when the
last spark of life left tho body of Neal as It
dangled from the gallows.
Many of tho morbidly curious ticket hold
ers put in an appearance as early as S
o'clock In tho morning and patiently walled
In the death chamber for the hour of noon,
when tho cxucutlou was to take place.
About half past 11 o'clock, and after the
crowd In tho enclosure had becomo dense, a
report reuched tho placo that a llttlo girl
who had been criminally assaulted by n
burly negro who was then In Jail had died.
Tho excitement was intense, thero wore
strong expressions of Indignation nnd noth
ing but tho word or sign of a leader was
lacking to bring about a double execution
then and there. The lender did not appear
at tho moment, but he did como before tho
dawn of another day.
Procession to the GullimN.
A few moments after 12 o'clock Sheriff
Uoyd, as calm as ho had ever been, de
scended tho steps leading from tho Jnll to
tho scaffold room. Ho was followed by
Father McCarthy of St. I'hllomcna's eathe
dral, nnd Father Rigge, tho spiritual ad
viser of tho condemned man, and then camo
Neal, with his hnnds clasped before him.
Ills black suit fitted well and his collar
and tie wore adjusted with fastidious taste.
Bo unclasped his hands as ho descended
the stairs and threw out Ilia chest with tho
air of a man courting favorable comment.
Neal walked up the stairs of tho scaffold
with n llrm step, the only signs of weak
ness being his palo checks and his twitch
ing Hps.
A3 Neal nppenred on tho scaffold ho
fervently pressed a cruelllx to his lips.
When asked by tho sheriff if ho had any
thing to say ho advanced to tho front of
the platform and gavo fecblo utterance to
these words:
"1 want to say that I was alono at tho
farm when It was committed. Thoro was
nobody cIbo there. I want to nek pardon
of the pcoplo of this city, and especially
of tho Jones family, because I am sorry
for what I havo done. I do this nt tho
advlco of my spiritual director, bocauso I
feel It will do mo good and I hope you
will forgive me."
On Knee In Priicr,
Neal then got down on his knees and
prayed for a few minutes, after which his
hands wero pinioned aud his nether llmba
were Hhaeklcd. When tho black cap was
drawn nnd the noose was placed around Ids
neck ho staggered and was about to full
when ho wan caught nud supported by
Deputy Sheriff Tlorney. Ho regained his
composure in a moment, nnd then, at ex
actly 12:08 o'clock, Shorlff Uoyd pulled tho
lever, tho drop fell, und tho doomed man
dangled at tho end of tho rope. His neck
was not broken and death camo slowly by
strangulation. Thirty-two minutes nfter
the drop bad fallen most of tho doctors
present pronounced the man dead; but Dr.
Cotfmnn inlslstcd that ho could resuscitate
him lu twenty minutes. Tho body was
allowed to hang until 1:02 o'clock within
four minutes of a full hour beforo It was
cut down.
Tho crime for which Neal was executed
was the murder of Allan Jones nnd his
wife. Dorothy, tho former being 71 yenra
ot age nnd tho latter CO. Tho old couple
wero In chargo of Dr. PInney's farm, ad
joining Seymour Park, and about three
mlleB west of South Omaha. Early In
February, 1S00, Neal went to tho farm,
shot Mr. and Mrs. Jones, who wore alone,
and burled their bodies. The next day after
committing the doublo murder ho went to
the farm with two men whom he had hired
In South Omaha and stolo eleven horsis
aud fourteen head of cattle. To the men
who nnststed him in this work ho explrlned
that ho had been living alono on tho farm,
hud tired of tho life aud had concluded to
sell tho stock and movo away. Ho dis
posed of tho cittlo at the stock yards and
sold tho horses to a South Omaha liveryman
for $200.
I.j iicIiIiik of the Xi'gro.
Tho night following tho day upon which
Neal was hung came tho lynching of Oeorgo
Smith, alias Joe Ooc, tho negro who had
caused the death of llttlo Llzzlo Yates.
The negro was taken from Jail by a mob
and strung up to a trolley wire In front
of Boyd's theater. It was Indeed an ex
citing day aud night for Omaha.
It was nearly live years after tho hang
ing of Neal und tho lynching ot Smith
when another execution took placo In
Omaha. This timo tho unfortunate man
wns Claudo H. Hoover, tho murderer of
Samuel Dullols, his brother-in-law.
Hoover wns hanged on Frldny, August 7,
1S0C, nnd only a few pcoplo wero permit
ted to witness tho net. On tho scaffold
with tho murderer wero Sheriff John Mc
Donald, Deputy Sheriffs Lewis Strykcr nnd
Hand, Rev. J. M. Wilson, Rev. C. W.
Savldgo and Attorney Powers. Tho law
yer mado ,i long, tcdlou3 und Inoppor
tuno speech from the scaffold and closed
by reading Iho following loiter, written tho
day before by Hoover.
"On tho day I took tho life of my friend
and brother-in-law, Samuel Dullols, 1 was
drunk. Most ot tho events of that after
noon nro a blank to mo and what I re
member appears like a dream. I know
no moro about It. It was not my conscious
nnd intentional act. I say this believing I
havo but ono moro day to live. My death
must bo laid at tho door of intemperance
I was crazed by drink and I killed my
friend. I mado my sister n widow and took
from his children, whom I love, their
natural protector. I hopo God has torglvon
me."
Hoover I'rrnc lies .Sermon.
When tho luwyor subsided, Hoover, who
was perfectly composed, dollvcred a scr
moii on Intompcrnnco nnd closed with
"God bless you all I am ready." TI1030
wero his last words. The trap was sprung
at 11:37 and thirteen minutes later Hoover
was pronounced dead, hu neck having
beon dislocated by tho fall. Ills body
was takon to tho homo of his mother nnd
Bister widow of tho man ho murdered
at 3197 South Thirteenth street.
Significant ot Hoover's deep contrition
and repentanco wns th6 gift ho left to his
mother. It wns a blblo that was presented
to him during his imprisonment. Inscrlbod
on tho last flyleaf wero tho words: "ne
turn this book to my mother, 3197 South
Thtrtcnth street and oblige Claudo H.
Hoover." In tho samo placo was found a
hymn that had been torn from Hoovor's
hymn book. It wus pencll-ranrlied with
two ctosses. It's titlo was: ".My Mothor'n
Prayer." and It was based on the passago
of scripture which reads: "Her chlldron
nrlso nnd call her blessed."
Within a few months nfter Hoover paid
