stranger to depart. Fearing something
wrong, Duffy hurriedly took a large amount
of money and locked It In the vault.
Several hundred dollars still remained In
bis cage. As he entered the cage Duffy
was confronted by the robber, who cov
ered him with a revolver.
"CiU everyone In here Into that cage,"
ti tt bandit. "or 111 blow your head

EXECUTION PROCEEDS, HOWEVER
Condemned Man an Edaeator of Note
and Ills Fate Causes a Sensation
In the Principal Centers
of Europe.
BARCELONA, Oct. 13.-Prof. Francisco
Ferrer, the Spanish educator and convicted
revolutionist was shot today. The execu
tion was at the fortress of Montjulch,
where the prisoner had been confined
since his condemnation by court-martial;
The 'dodmed man faced the firing squadron
without flinching and fell dead at the first
volley.
Ferrer, except for a momentary expres
sion of emotion Immediately preceding his
death,' retained his composure to tho last.'
His attorney, M. Oalceran. who had de
fended the prisoner so loyally as to bring
about his own arrest for Improperly ad
dressing the court, had obtained permission
for a brief talk with the revolutionist bei
fore the latter was led to the ditch, where
he was to die. To his attorney Ferrer
spoke feelingly of the work for which he
had sacrificed his life, and future of his
daughter, whose brave attempt to save
hla life touched the father more deeply,
apparently than any p'.her Incident of his
trial and conviction.
On, Ferrer' arrest, his family was left
dependent upon this daughter, who at
once found employment In a biscuit fac
tory. When It was known that her father
had been sentenced to death, the daughter
made a personal appeal to King Alfonso,
calling upon him In the name of his known
generosity to spare her father's life. When
this fact was related by Oalceran, Fer
rer broke down. It was but a passing emo
tion and presently the undaunted revolu
tionist .was again himself.
' Refuses Sacrament.
Ferrer declined to receive the last sacra
ments aud turned away from the two
priests of the Order of Peace and Charity,
who had been sent by the prison author
ities to offer him the final consolation of
tho church.
Many petitions for clemency were ad
dressed to King Alfonso, who also was
threatened with death should he not spare
Ferrers lite. Ferrer waa formally a di
rector of the Modern School of Barcelona
and waa repeatedly accused of teaching
revolutionary doctrines. In 1906 he was ar
rested, charged with complicity in the at
tempt upon the llfo of King Alfonso on
the day of the royal marriage. On trial
he was acquitted. On September 1, last,
he was arrested, charged with having in
cited the rioting In Barcelona last sum
mer. This outbreak was In the nature of
a protest against the aending of Spanish
troop against the Moors on the Riff coast.
At this trial documents were submitted
alleging lo have related to the proclama
tion of a Spanish republic.
