In the county Jail yesterday morn
ing Crescenzo Merolo was hanged for
the murder of Emanuel Loro. S.t 10.07
the bolt holding the trap door on which
Merolo stood was released, am. the
murderer shot five feet downward
through space and his neck was br 'ken.
At 10.12 his pulse ceased to beat, and

minutes later Dr. Barnes official!; de-

clured the man dead, and the body was
lowered into a coinn that lay directly
beneath. Merolo's body Is now at the
Jail and will be burled today.
It was the first execution in
the county ami this fact lent
much Interest to the event. Add
ed to this the exciting and dramatic
Incidents In connection with the mur
der, search for the murderer and the
trial had greatly heightened public
curiosity. No more cool or self com
posed man ever walked to Ills doom
than Merolo. His feet never faltered
and there was no sign of nervousness
as he went to the scaffold between
his two spiritual advisers. On the
scaffold he was equally cool and self
possessed, his face wearing a calm and
resigned expression. Tho hanging was
accomplished without a hitch of any
kind.
HIS LAST NIGHT ON EARTH.
Tuesday night for supper Merolo ate
sparingly of potatoes, cucumbers,
onions and bread aud refused to
touch the meat placed before him. At
11 o'clock he bade Robert Haag, the
member of the death watch then on
duty,, good night, and went to bod. He
slept quite soundly during- the night,
turning on his cot two or three times.
At 11 o'clock Tuesday night Haag was
relieved by H. P. Ferber and John Mc
Hale, who kept watch over the prisoner
until he was executed. At 6 a. ni. thry
were Joined by Mr. Haag, who again
came on duty.
About 5.45 yesterday morning Merolo
awoke and saluted Mr. Perber, but re
mained on his cot for half an hour, as
if burled In thought. At C.15 he arose
and dressed himself, but refused both
food and drink, telling his keepers that
he was preparing to receive the sacra
ment of his church.
Shortly before 8 o'clock Rev. Deminic
Peruzzi, of Hazleton, and Rev. Dominic
Landro, of this city, arrived at the cell
and were with the condemned man un
til the trap was sprung. After a short
season of prayer Merolo's confession
was again heard by Father Peruzzi.
Mass, celebrated in the cell, followed,
the condemned man participating with
great devotion. Father Peruzzi was the
celebrant and Futher Landro waited
upon him. During the mass Merolo re
ceived holy communion. At the con
clusion of the prayers offered up after
the mass, Merolo's attorney, John T.
Martin, was ushered int the cell. He
came by request of his client to bid
him good-bye.
NOT AFRAID TO DIE.
Merolo told him he had no fear of
death and his only regret was the dis
grace it would entail to his family.
If he could only kiss his old mother
who Is in Italy good-by he said that
lie would die without a regret. He
asked Martin to pray with him and the
lawyer, client and two priests knelt
down and recited the rosary which
concluded with the blessing of Father
Peruzzi. As the lawyer was about to
withdraw from the cell Merolo kissed
him, thanked him for his interest In
him and said he would continue to
pray until breath left his body. Mr.
1
heaping spoonfuls.
Martin did not wait to witness the ex
ecution. Alone again with his spiritual advis
ers Merolo observed tears in their eyes
and besought them to be of good heart
and weep not for him, that he would be
in a happier land In a few minutes.
He gave his crucifix to Father Peruzil
who will send It to Merolo's mother in
Italy together with photographs of her
son, one taken alone and another with
the two priests.
While this was going on down In
cell 10 corridor 6. where the pHaoner
was, those who were privileged to at
tend the hanging were being admitted
to the Jail. At 9.15 Sheriff Clemona
got his Jury together and after swear
ing the members of it collectively he
read the death warrant for them. The
members of the Jury were: Mayor
James O. Bailey, Dr. J. J. Roberts. Asa
A. Nichols, Clark's Oreen; Dr. J. W.
Coolidge, Dr. C. W. Roberts, A. J.
Colborn, Jr., W. M. Finn, Alexander T.
Connell, John Grlllln. C. W. McKlnney,
K. J. Northup, Ablngton; Dr. A. J.
Connell. These signed two returns
after the execution certifying that they
had witnessed the carrying out of the
law's -mandate. One return is filed In
the court of oyer and terminer and the
other Is setit to the governor. The
sheriff Is also required to make afll
davlt that the execution has taken
place and have It published In two
newspapers and the legal publication
of the county.
OUTSIDE OF THE PRISON.
Outside of the prison there was a.
motley assemblage attracted to the
scene in the hope of in some way get
ting a glimpse of the execution. They
were all disappointed and had to con
tent themselves with feasting their
eyes on the gray stones of the
outer prison wall. Chief of Po
lice Robllng, Captain Edwards,
Lieutenant John Davis, Sergeant Rob
ert Delter and Patrolmen Palmer.Moir,
Ridgway, Welsh, Sartor, Johler, Goer
lltz. Day and Duggan were on hand to
keep the curious crowd from blocking
Washington avenue or making any un
seemly demonstration. They had no
diltlculty In doing so for the crowd was
not large enough to Impede travel on
the thoroughfare and was in no way
disorderly.
At 9.55 Sheriff Clemons told those who
were to witness the hanging to fall In
line. Ex-Sheriffs A. B. Stevens and
John J. Fahey led the column, which
filed slowly from the warden's office
down a lllght of stairs and into corridor
6, in the north wing of the prison.
There the scaffold met their gaze. It
was erected on the concrete floor of
the corridor and in front of it were a
number of chairs for the use of the
spectators. The scaffold was modeled
after the one used in Philadelphia to
hang Holmes, and Is a very solid, sub
stantial looking affair, painted black,
Immediately behind It was a fence
eight feet high extending entirely
across the corridor and hiding from
view that portion of It where the con
demned man's cell was located. The
work of erecting the scaffold began
Tuesday afternoon at 4 o'clock and
was completed at 8 o'clock. Merolo
heard the sound of the hammers and
asked what was being done. He re
ceived a non-committal answer, and
told his keeper that he knew the scaf
fold was being put up.
WAS PREPARED THEN.
When the task was completed he
said he was ready then to go out and
die.
Yesterday morning It was thought the
scaffold might not be strong enough to
withstand the strain, and to make sure
of It, Iron braces were placed on each
side. The scaffold consists of two up
rights 5 by 6 and 16 feet in height. On
top of these restB the cross beam, 6 by
6, made from the strongest oak. The
platform on which the condemned man
stood consists of two large trap doors
opening downward and neld In place by
two bolts, worked by means of a lever.
It was reached by a wide flight of
stairs. The platform is eight feet from
the floor and the frame work to which
it Is fastened, rests on oak posts 4 by 4.
The rope was one-fourth of an Inch in
thickness and ran up through the cen
ter of the cross beam and was fastened
to the side of the upright. When ready
for its terrible duty, there was five feet
of slack to the rope, that being the dis
tance Sheriff Clemons decided to allow
the man to drop, as he bad a thick, IB
inch neck. Over the entrance to the
upper and lower parts of the corridor
black draperies were hung, giving with
the black scaffold a very sombre ap
pearance to the y;tdor In strong con
trast with the bright sunlight that
could be discerned through the window
Just beyond Merolo's cell. The rope
used was furnished by a Philadelphia
cordage company which never makes
any charge for a rope for hanging pur
poses. It Is a special make and not one
hus ever been known to break at an
execution. Those who were in the cor
ridor facing the scaffold when the time
arrived for the execution were Mayor
J. O. Bailey, ex-Sheriff John J. Fahey,
Attorney H. C. Reynolds, Marlon
Stuart Cann, Captain H. G. Warner,
Prothonotary C. E. Pryor, Dr. Stegner,
of Rendham; John Jay, of Jermyn;
Hon. Alex. Connell, Recorder Charles
Huester, Asa Nichols, of Clark's Sum

Dr. Coolidge, District Attorney John R.

Edwards and five reporters.
THE LAST MOMENTS.
At two minutes to ten Merolo In
quired anxiously from the priests what
time it was and when Informed seemed
glad that the suspense was about to
terminate. There was a sound at the
entrance to the upper corridor at 10
o'clock and Sheriff Clemons, Warden
Jay and Deputies Ferber, Price and
Bortree a moment later were seen
walking along the platform In front of
the upper tier of cells. They passed
along the end of the corridor and then
down a stairway in the space back of
the scaffold fence and thence into Me
rolo's cell. He was entirely submissive
when told that It was time for the
execution and after his hands were
fastened together he remarked in Ital
ian to the priests that Jesus Christ
once had his hands tied.
He asked the pardon of the Juil of
ficials if at any time he had done any
thing to offend them and after Instruct
ing (Sheriff Clemons to give the stool In
his cell to Robert Haag of the death
watch expressed his readiness to go to
the gallows. As he left the cell he said
to Father Peruzzi "In a few minutes
I will see Almighty God and the
angels."
At 10.05 the sound of steps ascending
the scaffold was heard by the spec
tators In front and in another Instant
the heads of Sheriff Clemons and ex
Chief of Police Simpson appeared above
the floor of the Instrument of death, the
murderer with a priest on each side of
him coming within range of the specta
tors' vision next. The five men and
Warden Jay took positions on the plat
form, the deputies remaining on the top
step. Merolo spoke a last word to the
priests, kissed both priests good-bye
and then stepped courageously under
the noose not a muscle displaying the
slightest sign of nervousness. He
made no remark of any kind. Warden
Jay fastened the legs together, ex-Chief
Simpson adjusted the noose and slipped
on the black cap and then all stepped
quickly backward off the trap door,
the bolt was pulled and at 10.07 the
two doors shot downward with a bang
Merolu's body following. When the
end of the Ave feet of slack rope was
reached the body rebounded a few inch
es and twisted around and around for
several seconds. One minute after the
drop Dr. Barnes tel' the pulse and it
was beating quite strongly.
PULSATION CEASED.
The knres were slightly drawn up
but that was the only outward move
ment of the body showing ttfe after
the drop. Gradually the limbs stiffen
ed out and became rigid and at 10.13
Pr. Barnes declared that the pulse had
ceased. Warden Jay and H. F. Fer
ber brought In a rose wood ectlln, and
placed It undtjr the body. At 10.28
heart action could not be discerned and
two minutes Inter Dr. Barnes declared
Merolo dead. He was lowered into the
coinn by ex-Chief Simpson and after
some difficulty the noose was released
showing a livid mark about the neck.
The black cap was removed and Mero
lo's face disclosed, pale and calm, but
without a distortion of any kind. The
doctors, after an examination, said
that his neck was broken clean by the
fall. He was dressed In the suit he
wore when he entered the prison. It
was well worn and faded. A light col
ored outing shirt with red stripes com
pleted his attire. He wore no necktie,
but In the lapel of his coat was a small
bunch of pansles, evidently gathered
but a few hours before. Sheriff Clem
ons refused to say who pulled the rope
that released the doors. It was done by
some one who was out of sight behind
the fence.
After the body was placed In the cof
fri the h&jnds were crossed on the
breast, the lid of the coflln screwed
down and the body taken to the Jail
morgue, where it will remain for twenty-four
hours. Today the remains will
be Interred by Undertaker A. R. Raub
In the Hyde Park Catholic cemetery.
Father Landro will conduct services at
the Jail before the body is taken to the
cemetery.
Joseph Boschlno, who Is under sen
tence to be executed on Aug. 6 for the
murder of Frank Conforti, has been in
corridor 6 since his conviction, but was
moved Into cell 8, corridor 1 before the
execution yesterday. He Is naturally
of an excitable temperament and was
much depressed by the hanging of Me
rolo. Yesterday afternoon he was tak
en back to. his cell in corridor 8. Only
the prisoners in the cells close to the
scaffold were removed from the corri
dor; the others were allowed to remain,
but the solid oak doors of the cells
were closed so that it was impossible
for them to see the execution.
STORY OF THE MURDER.
No murder of reoent years created so
much excitement as did the killing of
Emanuel Loro by Crescenzo Merolo
on June 17. 1894. On the afternoon of
that day Merolo left the house of An
tonio Greeco, where he boarded, and
walked down the street a short dis
tance, where he stopped talking to two
men. Loro came along and asked for
15 cents that Merolo owed him. The
latter denied owing the debt; angry
words were exchanged, and Merolo
drew his revolver and fired three shots
into Loro's body, killing him. Such, in
brief, was the story of the crime as de
veloped by the commonwealth on the
trial of the case. Immediately after
the shooting Merolo fled and for weeks
the mountains of this region were
scoured by County Detective Shea and
a force of deputies under Sheriff Fahey,
Merolo succeeded in getting out of the
country and went to Italy, where he
remained for a few months, then re
turning to this country.
In the meantime Barring & McSwee
ney had been given charge of the case
by the county commissioners, and Me
rolo was arrested on Oct. 7, 1895, in
Bobten. He denied that he was Me
rolo, but he was Identified by witnesses
taken to Boston, and subsequently
more fully identified at a preliminary
hearing in this city. The work of se
curing evidence against him was then
taken up by County Detective Leyshon,
who succeeded Shea, and forty-one wit
nesses were subpoenaed to attend the
trial to establish Merolo's Identity and
his connection with the murder. The
case went to trial on Dec. 2 before
Judge Edwards and the commonwealth
found It necessary to call only thirty
one of Its witnesses. The common
wealth's side of the case was brilliant
ly and convincingly presented by Dis
trict Attorney Jones.
Merolo still denied his Identity and
maintained all during the trial that he
was Frank La Braca. Nevertheless he
was found guilty of murder In the first
degree, and on Dec. 10 a new trial was
applied for. It was refused by Judge
Edwards on Jan. 23, and Governor
Hastings fixed May 26 as the date for
the execution. On account of the
Knights Templar conclave the gover
nor granted a respite until yesterday.
The peculiar attempt to get a respite on
Monday is still fresh in the public mind.
MEROLO'S VERSION OF CRIME.
Merolo's version of the murder was
never given to the public until yester
day when his statement obtained from
his spiritual advisers was printed In The
Tribune. He would have made a state
ment for the public before going to
the gallows but his attorney for some
reason advised him not to do so.
Merolo assured the priests, however,
that he was urged on to do the killing
by bad friends who made him believe
that he was In deadly peril from Loro.
When his senses were stolen away by
strong drink he was sent out with the
injunction to be watchful of Loro or
he would be killed. While his mind
was inflamed by these stories they met
and as a result Loro was killed and
Merolo went to the gallows.
After committing the murder Merolo
Instead of hiding here as was gener
ally supposed went to Hazleton where
he worked for a short time going from
there to Lattimer, Luzerne county, and
then to Pittsburg, subsequently work
ing tils way to the seaboard where he
took ship for Italy.
He feared he would be arrested at his
home and tried there for the murder,
the Italian laws countenancing such
proceedings Instead of allowing the ac
cused to be extradited. He could get
21 years for his crime there but nothing
more, still he refused to run the risk
of being arrmted saying he would
prefer death or damnation to 21 years
Incarceration. He again crossed the
water to America and sealed his fate.
