The execution of Green and Dillen makes six men who have paid the penalty of their crimes on the gallows in Centre county. The firsts man to be hanged after the or- ganization of the county was Daniel Bey- ers. “On the evening of the 15th of October, 1802, a mulatto, named James Barrows, in the employ of John Dunlop, was shot dead upon his horse, as he was driving his team between Bellefonte and the Valentine works. For this murder Byers was tried and convicted, and the jury in accordance with the law at that time, returned with their verdict—a valuation of him, ‘valued him at two hundred and fourteen dollars.’ Byers was executed December 13th,1802, by James Duncan, Esq., then high sheriff. A large crowd, consisting of forgemen and other original characters, bad assembled to witness the execution, and a company of horse, in the command of Capt. James Pot- ter, was drawn up near the scaffold. With the first swing the rope broke and Negro Dan fell to the ground unhurt. With that the crowd shouted ‘‘Dan is free I’ and headed by Archey McSwords and McKib- ben, they made a move to rescue him. Sheriff Duncan, who always carried a lead- loaded riding-whip, drew it promptly and struck MeSwords a blow that would have felled an ox. McSwords scratched his head and said : ‘‘Mr. Duncan,as you are a small man, you may pass on.”” With that Capt. -| Potter’s company made a charge and Wm. Irwin, of the troop leveled McKibben with a blow of hissword, cutting his cap rim throngh. Meanwhile William Petriken £ yr 4 EEEERSEEEEEEEEEZTESTBEE stepped up to Dan, patted him on the shoulder, saying, *‘Dan, you have always been a good boy, go up and be hung like a man,’ which he did. The second execution was thas of James Monks, a native of Potter township, who was tried and convicted at the November term of cours 1818, for the murder of Rea- ben Guild. The murder, which, from the prisoner’s confession, appears to have been entirely unprovoked, took place on the evening of Sunday, November 16th, 1817. It appears from the confession of the pris- oner, written in jail while awaiting exe- cution, he was returning to his bome on Marsh Creek. Howard township, from HOPKINS Clearfield and met Guild, who was mount- ed on a horse, in a lonely part of the road. Having passed the time of day and pro- ceeded a short distance, an uncontrollable desire came upon Monks, who was armed with a gun, to shoot Guild. Apparently powerless to resist the impulse, he raised ana shot him throngh the body. The vie- tim uttered a shriek and fell from the horse, and as Monks approached him said, “My friend, you have killed me.”” Monks, feel- ing that the shot had proved ineffectual, struck him two blows on the head with his tomahawk, which silenced him forever. Monks was hung on Saturday, January 23rd, 1819, by John Mitchell, Esq., then ‘high sheriff, Wm. Armor, a fifer of the war . of 1812, played the ‘‘Dead March’’ under the scaffold. An absurd rumor started shortly after Monks’ execution that he had been seen alive afterward, and he became children’s ‘‘spook’’ for some years. The county paper of the day had several arti- cles, one favoring the apparition and argn- ing the possibility of his resuscitation, and others ‘‘pulling down the ghost.’’ From 1819 until 1890, almost three quar- ters of a century the county was without the stigma of another hanging but on Sep- tember 21st, 1889, W. Seely Kopkins, of Philipsburg, shot and instantly killed his wife and her mother, Mrs. Wigaman. He was tried and convicted at the November term of court and sentenced to death by Judge A. O. Farst. The execution took place in the Centre county jail on Thurs- ddy, February 20th, 1890, under sheriff Robert Cooke. The scaffold was built by Samuel Gault and during the time it was being erected, Hopkins became much in- terested, as he conld hear the carpenters at work. He had an abundance of spiritual advice, and professed a change of heart, and claim- 7) IREREREEEEE ERIE ed to be prepared to meet his doom. He complete confession, in which he declared slept well the last night, and in the morn- ing ate a hearty breakfast. At ten be par- took of a turkey dinner, which was far- nished as his request. He said he deserved his fate, but that he committed the crime auder great excitement. When the time for the execution arrived be marched to the scaffold - without any hesitation and made a short address. When the drop was sprung the rope broke; the limp, uncon- scious body fell to the ground. Hopkins was carried up again, a second noose was adjusted and the sccond drop was more successful. The following were the jurors officially selected to witrvess the execution: I. N. Gordon, W. F. Reynolds.and Wn. Houser, Bellefonte; Dr. Dunwiddie, Philipsharg; D. H. Rubi, Spring Mills; Cephas Gram- ley, Rebersburg; D. B. Kunes, Blanchard; W. E. Landon, Fhilipsburg; J. S. Barton, Fleming; J. P. Sebring, Loveville; Samuel Benton and Samuel Aley, both of Walker, Pa, The following attorneys were represent- ed in the Hopkins trial: J. L. Spangler and District Attorney J. C. Meyer for the prose- cation; and W. F. Reeder, Esq., for the defense. The fourth and last hanging prior to the execution on Tuesday was that of Alfred Andrews, on April 9th, 1890, for the murder of Clara Price, ont near Karthaus. The horrible details of this crime are yet too fresh in the minds of our readers to need recounting here. The trial of Andrews took place at Janu- ary term of cours, 1890. Excitement ran high and the town was thronged with people for several days interested in the ontcome—some fearing even violence should there be a failure in the verdict. The execution of Andrews took place Wednesday, May 9th, 1890, under Sheriff Robs. Cooke. The trial of Andrews was ANDREWS one of the most remarkable events in our cours. No one saw the deed committed, and his conviction was secured purely upon circumstantial evidence in which the late Hon. Jobo H. Orvis was leading counsel. He wove around the man a network that was so complete and convincing that the jury bad little difficulty in arriving at a verdict. His address to the jury so this day is remembered and commented upon as being a masterpiece in its line. Shortly after the trial Andrews made a .

FAUBLES’ 0 A : i ; that the crime in its very details ocourred ' precisely as Mr. Orvis proved it to the jury. Contrary to expectation, he went to the scaffold without a sign of fear and from it , be read a chapter in the scriptures and addressed the spectators mpon the import- ance of a Christian life. He regretted thie {crime and among other things said, ‘‘I | trust I may meet the blessed girl whose { life I have stolen from the world. May I meet her in Heaven and clasp her bands { and say, ‘I know you.’ ’’ As his limbs { were being pinioned he kissed Sheriff Cooke good hye avd thanked him and Deputy Wilson for the kindness thev had shown bim. This time when the drop fell the execution was more snceessful. The ful , lowing composed the jory: S. R. Privgle, Port Matilda; O. E. : Miller, Milesburg; A. I.
