(Special Tale rram.) Gottlieb Niegenfind, the murderer of bis diTorced wife and father-in-law, tald the penalty of death on the scaffold at the penitentiary shortly after noon today. . Sheriff John Power of Omaha, Deputy Warden James Jones and Rev. George Allenbach of the German Lutheran church rf Lincoln, of which denomination Nlegen tend was a communicant, were on the scaffold. Ttas Douglas county scaffold, brought tows from Omaha several days ago, was teed as the death trap. The hanging took t laoe In the west cell house. Niegenfind entered the long, dreary court In which be was to die, walking between jamea Jones and William McNeil, two guards, and, "accompanied by Rev. Mr. Al lenbach. He had acaroely passed through the big Iron doors than his eye caught sight of the grim-looking scaffold. He viewed It intently. He wore a serious expression upon his face, but on meeting Warden Beemer, who stood near the scaf fold, he smiled, tipped Ilia bat and ex tended his hand, thanking the warden for his kindnesses and bidding him goodbye. To others he met on his short but dreary march he repeated these manifestations. On reaching the scaffold he grasped the banister and mounted without a faltering step. Clad In a new black cashmere sack ult. wearing a white shirt and white tie, be stood erect and motionless on the floor. He presented the appearance of perfect physical manhood. Not the slightest tre mor was visible tn a single feature, and If he fully realised the fate that awaited him, he concealed his feelings. Appar ently has was happy and unconcerned. His ipirltual adviser. Rev. Mr. Allenbach. said be was deeply conscious of the seriousness of the occasion, but had declared his readi ness to go. The minister was the last per son with whom be shook hands and spoke. This he did Just before the cap was dropped aver his head. To the very last he main tained unfaltering nerve.

This morning Niegenfind ate a hearty breakfast and at noon, leas than an hour before his death, hr ate heartily of boiled beef and horseradish and said be relished his meal. In all hia actions Niegenfind displayed a sort of stolid Indifference to his Impending doom, which, while evidently unnatural, did not seem to indicate real unconcern, simply a lack of sensitiveness to the actual con ditions. When he started from bis cell to the gallows he said to those accompanying him: "Come on, we are going now. t will soon be over." He had been laughing just before this, but as he emerged from the prison door Into the open air he relapsed into a state of manifest seriousness, which remained until he mounted the scaffold, where six minutes later he swung to his doom. Niegenfind had requested Rev. Mr. Allen bach to have hl body buried at Pierce, hia home, and the minister is endeavoring to carry out hia wish, but may not suc ceed. If he does not, the burial will be in Wyuka cemetery. Lincoln. Gottlieb Breyer. brother of the murdered woman, was the only relative at the execu tion. Representatives of the Omaha and Lincoln newspapers and aeveral members of the legislature were present, Kleajeaffad Becoaclled to Pate. Niegenfind has spent the last three weeks under the close espionage of the death watch. He has occupied a cell Isolated from all the others, in the hospital ward. He aa watched death approach -with .rer markable calm'. He asserted ten days ago that he had made his peace with God, and thereafter was seemingly contented snd without dread or fear. He has eaten three square meals a day and slept soundly at nlgM. His general health has been good and he has laughed heartily at some poor little jokes of his own. Nlegenflnd's crime was a peculiarly atro cious one. On September 11 last be arrived in Pierce from Kansas. He had. some years before, lived In the county, and had met and married a Mrs. Peters,-the widowed daughter of Albert Breyer, a prosperous farmer, living six miles east of Pierce. Niegenfind was addicted to drink and had an ugly temper. His wife left blm because of his abuse and before the tragedy secured a divorce. At the same time she was awarded the custody of their child, a boy. Niegenfind claimed at the time that It was the Influence of his wife's parents that caused all their troublea. He talked wildly of revenge, but went away. On Thursday morning, September 11 last, he appeared at the Breyer farm and had a talk with his father-in-law. He was or dered off the place. A few hours after ward he returned and this time demanded of his wife ttst she return to live with him, but she refused and was counseled by her parents to have nothing more to do with him. He asked to see his boy, but the wife told him the child was no longer his and that he could not see him. Niegen find turned away and, going back to Pierce, bought a revolver. About dusk he returned to the farm. Outside he met Breyer. The" had an altercation and he shot the old man. Mrs. Breyer, his mother-in-law, witnessed the shooting and ran out crying to Niegen find not to shoot her husband. He took several shots 'at the old woman, but she ran away and escaped fatal injury, although two bullets struck her- Three times he shot at the prostrate old man, reloading while standing over him. His site heard the shooting and ran out. but, fearing Niegenfind would kill her, started around ths other side of the barn. Her ex-husband intercepted her as she turned the corner and killed her. Niegenfind started to run down the road and met a younger slater of his former wife. It was charged at first that be attempted to criminally assault her. but it developed later that he simply tore her clothes off in his mad rage. He did not shoot her. and she gave the alarm. Fllarkt aad (apt are. For almost a week Niegenfind was a fugi tive from Justice. The Lincoln bloodhounds chased him unsvatltngly. He seemed to have disappeared from sight. As a matti r of fact, however, the man had walked three miles away from the Breyer farm and slept peacefully all night at a former acquaintance's bouse, where news of the tragedy had not been circulated. He rode with this friend to within two miles of Wlnside, in Wayne county, the next .morn ing. A little distance down the road he was overtaken by County Commissioner Cullea. who gsve him a lift for four miles la the country. Niegenfind finally stopped at the home of Gustsve Rehmus. where he obtained employment. The hue and cry went on, but only Cullen reeognUed bis erstwhile companion by the description. He did not know where Nlegenflud had gone. Dave Leary. a liveryman of W.a-s.de,- secured a few clues and started out to the Rebmus plsce. Four miles soutbeas' of Wlnside he overtook Rt haiui and Neig- i enfind, driving cattle In the road. Leary J drove round the herd and, hurrying cn to Cullen s place, told fcl-n of his suspicions Soou the to ir-n and lb" herd showed up. Cullen identified Niegenfind. This was enough for Leary, and with a companion, Ferry Borum. and ".wo shotguna. took ahortcut across tb fields to hesd off Nieg enfind. Tbey took positions overlooking the road and whn the muraerer came up ordered him to throw up his bands. For reply he pulled six-shooter snd. lesping behind Rehmus. smirfct te -shield.
