NOT IN LEAST UNNERVED Saw the Workmen Constructing tho Scaffold on Which He Will Be Ex ecuted This Morning a Few Min utes After 10 O'clock Rev. B. K. Bulgin Had n Long Interview with Him Last Night After the Execution tho Remains Will Be Taken to tho Homo of Van Horn's Mother Burial Will Bo in Dun more Cemetery. At a few minutes after 10 o'clock this tnornlnp George K. Van Horn 'will bo executed on a scaffold in Corridor 6 of tho county Jail for the killing of Mrs Josephine Weicott. Ho maintains stoutly that he never intended to kill her. "Had no Idea at all of taking her life" was the way Van Horn himself plini'-t'd It last iiIkIU when talking to a Tilbune man. It was 10 o'clock when tho importer reached his cell, and Van Horn had concluded a long Interview with his spliltual advlsei, tho Uov H K I3ul Kln, of Dunmoro. "I made a little statement and pave it to the pieachpr," the condemned man i.ild, "and after I'm dead ho will kc It to the papers " The statement will 1i to the iffcct that Van Horn neer contemplated committing murdei "Have 1 anv fear nhout tomonow? Not a bit Why should I' It's got to be done nnd tin re's no uit of feeling had aliout It I heard them working on the scaffold all afternoon and saw them, too, and It didn't make me n bit nervous, did It Al. " and he tinned for confirmation of his statement to Al Atkinson, a member of the death w ateh. who was sitting in front of his cell. Again addressing himelf to At kinson, he said "Xow, honest, Al , do ou think I'm nn different than 1 hae been an day since ou came heio?" Atkinson said, If an thing. Van Hoin was mote cheer ful yesterday than he has been in weeks, and this was tho general opin ion of the ofllcials Again addressing himself to the reporter. Van Horn said: would m:sr wkll "I'p Just smoked a good cigar and In a few minutes I'm going to bed nnd get a good night's lest I want to toll you tliat they have treated me fine You couldn't tlnd a man In the county who -would hup been better to me than Sheriff Pryor and Warden Simp son, and all the rest of them have done everything they could for'nie. too I'e got no cause to complain about any one around heie "When they were putting up the scaffold toda a quper thing happened. ' continued Van Horn, with a smile "John Orgtlle was helping them, and when It was finished ho stood theie looking at It with a sledge In his hands Orgille think.! a lot about me, and he seemed so sad looking that I thought I'd cheer him up a little. He looked over toward me and said he was very sorry for me, and I called back, laugh ing, like 'That's all tight, John, but they can't hao any fun -with that thing until they get mo on it, can they?' John dropped his sledge and walked away He seemed all broke up" Orgllle Is tho North Knd constable who Is serving a term for stabbing Hobert L'lllot. He is one of tho "t tin ners" In the prison and theiefore has the liberty of the coiridois. A strong friendship spiung tip between the two men Orgllle said It wns too much for him when ho heard Van Horn talk that way and he walked away to keep from breaking down Jn tho presence of Van Horn. After l elating this Incident about Or gllle, he fell to moralizing on tho haul ship it Is to the old man to bo locked up In pilon. He seemed to think Or gllle btood in much gicater need uf sympathy than he did Speaking of the farewell visit of his ielaties, Van Horn said: HARD OX IV S MOTHER. "It was hard on mother nnd I felt awful sorry for her. I told her to bear up and not to mind that I didn't. I told my folks that they could come around tomonow to see me if they wanted to, but probably it would be better It they didn't. They took that view of It, and bo I bid them good-bo for good." The principal event of Van Horn's last day on earth was tho farewell vis it to him of his mother, his sister, Mrs Fred Harper, and his brother, Frank Van Horn. They spent two hours ulth him and their parting wos very affect ing especially that of mother and non. Sho Is 74 years of age, and has quite exhausted hoi self in tho set vice of her son. Sho ciled bitterly as she kissed him good-bjo. Van Horn was depressed for a time after his relatives left, but he soon tegalned his usual cheerfulness and hen the Jail olllclals brought his sup per to him a. few minutes later than usual, he said he was glad it had ar rived, for he was very hungry. Tho way lie disposed of tho victuals proved the tiulh of his statement. After eat ing a hearty supper he was given sev eral bananas and ate them with a relish. It Is doubtful if a man was ever ex ecuted In this country who with tho shadow of death creeping upon him more closely each hour maintained surh a stolid and indifferent demeanor. Ills manner would lndlcato that ho has not fully realized that death certainly awaits him today, bu; his speech glvrs be to this Idea. He says lift is prepared to meet his. fate and does not proposo to do any worrying about it. When the sheriff asks him to walk to tho scaffold this morning lie will do so with a nrm, steady step. SCAFFOLD RR'JCTnD. The scaffold was erected yesterday afternoon and nftei "Yards tested to mako euro that everything was all right. It worked perfeoMy. A broad flight of stairs leads frorrVhe scaffold to the corridor and thu bit to in ono within a few feet of Van Horn's cell. Last night tho blind doors were placed on tho cells In tho corridor that com manded a view of the corridor villi the exception of tho one occupied by tho condemned man. He railed tho attention of the keepers to the fact that this would make tho tells tloso nnd stufiy and requested them to tako the blind doors from In front of tho cells of his fellow prisoners. His re quest was compiled with. When Van Horn's mother visited hltn yesterday she inquired what arrange ments had been made for his funeral nnd was Informed that ho would ho burled in tho family plot In Dunmoro cemetery alongside of bin bt other, Abe Van Horn, who died some time ago. Immediately after tho execution this morning an undertaker w HI take charge of the remains and convey them to the home of Van Horn's mother In Duninorc. In tho nftcrnoon Interment will take place. This morning Van Horn will bo dressed In tho neat suit of black clotbei ho will wear to tho scaffold, and will spend the greater part of tho time be fore the execution with the Rev. Mr. Bulgin. STORY OF THE CRIME The crime for which Van Horn will today pay tho death penalty was com mitted August 28, 1SDG, nt the homo of his victim, southwest corner of Finnic lln avenue and Linden street. Just about nightfall, Mrs. Westcott and several of her boarders were sit ting on the front porch enjoying nn after-supper chat Ono by one the paity dispersed, until llnally but thrwe of tho household remained, Mis. West cott and two of the boarders, Mrs. Fot tcrhoff and William Brlmble. The lat ter two went to their tesnectlve rooms on the second floor and Mis. Wescott went buck towards the kitchen, ic marklng something about pieparlng for the breakfast. Soon afterwards sho was een entoi Ing the cellar from the outside, cat ty ing something In her hands. How long she remained In tho cellar Is not known, as tho parties who saw her go In are not the same who saw her emeige, but It is mesumed from a geneial vluw of tho circumstances that it was nut very long It appears that after her tluoat was cut she ran out of tho cellar by tho way she entered, canjlng a pan of potatoes with her, and making her way Into the house, deposited the pan on the kitchen tabic and then ran out on the front porch, where she called to a boy to run for a doctor. Mrs. IVtti'ihoff, who was leading on the sceond ilooi, heaid the excited talk, without being aide to distinguish words She was alert to hear more of It, and while thus listening, heard omo one staggeilng up the teps nnd calling her by name. SAW Jill? WIISTCH' '. When she ran to the door she beheld Mis Westcott standing on the stair way, clutching hoi tluoat with both hands, while blood squltted between her llngois and tan In u bioad stieam dow u her dress ' Van Horn did it M tluoat Is cut'" sho tiled "What"" exclaimed Mi- Fetteihoff. "I'm muideied, Oeoige Vnn Horn did it," Mis. Wescott replied Tho latter part of this conveisaiion was heaid by Mr. Brhnble. When questioned as to how it o -cuired, Mi1- Wescott said "I went down cellar foi potatoes, and" but she became choked by the blood finding its way Into hei windpipe nnd -die pro ceeded no fuither. She was laid on a bed and a number of physicians summoned They found a tiansverse IncIIon upon her throat about six Inches long; one-half to throe-quatters of an Inch in depth. The windpipe was almost completely sev eied und the Jugulnr vein cut She wns taken to the Lackawanna hospital that night and the next morning died at 11 o'clock without having made any further statement except that she told Patiolman David ifarry that she felt Flic was going to die. that Oeoige Van Horn cut her throat, and that she wanted the olilcer to tell her daughter Hmma to be a good gill. Van Horn followed Mis. Westcott closely from the cellar and Jumping a rear fence made his escape from the Immediate neighborhood befoie anv alarm could be given. lie went down the Delaware :id Hudson tracks, then to the statto-i, thence down Lackawanna avenu'1 lo Bridge street, then on down the Deli- ware and Hudson tracks to the Soutn Side, crossing over to the East moun tain and spending a pottlon of the night in a wood-chopper's shan'. WENT TO HLMHURST. Tho next day ho tiavolcd on to Flm huist nnd crossing over to Hawley en foot followed the canal to Ti iv tin n by slow stages worked his wav west, going via Buffalo, Detroit nnd Chicago and llnally into Iowa, working as a farm laborer at an out of Uiq way place called Brush Creek. Neatly a year later, July ", lh!)7, he was captured while asleep In a wood chopper's deserted cabin Just outside of Wadena, la., a short distance from where ho worked. The capture was made tluougli the aid of a pno'ogiapn sent out by Chief of Poll.o Rob.lny. He wsa brought back here by Lieuten ant of Police John Davis and Dotes tlvo John Molr and on tho way thither confessed that ho had killed Mis. Westcott, saying simply that he tut her throat. Ho was Indicted for mirier .s-.-pt. 15, 1S97, and on tho following Novem ber was placed on trial. The case oc cupied eight days nnd excited wide spread Interest Judge Andibald pio sldeel.

Wedeman nnd L W Thayer. Van Horn evinced no Interest whatever In the piocccdlngs for sovcal days nnd very little interest at an time. His coolness and unconcern was ono of the most rcmnrkablo fcawon of ilu trial. The story as told by the common wealth was that Van Horn had been ai rested five weeks before the killing on a warrant sworn out by Mrj, West cott, charging him with having sneak ed Into her house nnd siol;n HC. Sho withdrew tho pioceedlngs, but tho ar rest apparently rankled In Van Horn's breast, for ho made threats against her to various persons and only four days before tho murder cursed ut end damned her In thn prMno of Mrs Georgo Noiman nt her homo on tho West Side, and, exiilblMnf a wn'to handed razor, said no would cut her (meaning Mrs Westcott) throat fiom enr to cat , that thev ctuld not hang him for It, as he witild get u) Into Now York state and the wouldn't be ablo to find him WAS PROWLING ABOUT. It was also shown by witnesses that Van Horn, on several evenings Just previous to the murder, wns seen prowling about the Wescott house, dodging nlons from ono tree- bo to another on the opposite sldo of the street or skulking In the alleys nearby. One of the wltnei's who testified to this .vas George Wlckenhoffer. The defense was accidental homicide, and Insanity The stoiy that was put forwaid in support of tho llrst theory was extravagant to put It mildly, but nevertheless well within the bounds of possibility. It was alleged that Van Horn nnd Mrs. Westcott were Intimate, that he hael been sleeping In the cellar of tho boarding house for a number of nights, that he and Mrs. Wescott met there nn the night of the killing by appoint ment, that she brought him some food as had been her custom and snt be side him while he ate It. Then ho proceeeled to sttop his razor Intending to shave. Mrs. Wescott still sitting beside him, chilled him for his drinking and shiftless wajs and he plavfully drew the back as he thought of tho razor actoss her throat. In his teiror at his awful mistake he fled nnd realizing that ho would have groat difficulty In having his story believed, stayed awav. Th" Insanity plea was mainly sup ported bv tho evidence of his lit st di vorced wlfe. It was to the effect that he was struck by a inllioad bridge while a brakeman on a western road fifteen jears ago, and that lie was "never the same" since. Judge Aithbald, In his eliaige to the Jury, punctured the fust theoiv bv asking if it was within the bounds of reason to suppose that a man would halt In the midst of an engagement such as Van Horn alleged brought hltn to tho cllar to shavo himself In a daik cellar without mliror or lamp? The theory of Insanity was not sup ported sutllciently to w arrant It seiious consideration, the Judge said. Tho Jury was out only a slioit time In arriving at Its verdict. Van Horn heaid It with his stolid ronipostuo nnd Indifference. Unsuccessful efloits wcio made for a new trial, the Supreme court of Penn sylvania and the Supieme couit of the United States were appealed to In the effort to upset the finding of the Jury, and as a last resort a vigorous light was made before the boaid of pardons foi a commutation of sentence on the strength of newly discoveied evidence bearing out the Insanity allegation, but It was all In vain. HE WAS A HOWELL MAN. Controller Schwass Had no Intention of Voting for Phillips. The statement In yesterday's Tribune In connection with tho leport of the le-electlon of City Superintendent Howell to tho effect that Louis Schwass "agreed to go Into tho Phillips caucus as tho eleventh man," seems to have been without foundation. "I wns a Howell man from tho first and never for a moment thought of votlne- for nnyono else," said Mr, Schwass jestorda. "I went into the Howell caucus several weeks ago rnd pledged him my support and ho has hael it ever since. I can't understand how a story to the effect that I Intend ed to vote for Phillips could have been staited." FUNERRL Or ALBERT E. KIESEL. Held from the Residence of His Parents on Lackawana Avenue.

NEW CHIEF TO BE NAMED TONIGHT liOMINATION, HOWEVER, WILL NOT BE CONFIRMED. This Means That tho Hickey-Suy-dam Conflict of Authority Will Continue and That Thoro Will Bo Bother Over tho Annual Inspection and Parade Somo of the Law Dealing with tho Case That Is Being Quoted About the City Hall by Those Interested. At tonight's meeting of select coun cil the nomination of John Walker, for chief of tho flro department, will be presented bv Mayor Molr and referred to tho flro department committee. Whether It will ever come from tho committee and be confirmed Is a ques tion admitting of much speculation. Many of the counellmen are disposed to look w Ith disfavor on Maj'or Molr's action In summarily dismissing Chief INckey and putting a man in his place without the "advice and consent" of select council, and somo of them who prefer somo other than Mr. Walker for the position can bo expected to sel7e upon this as un excuse for oppos ing the majot's wishes. A prominent Republican member of tho flro depart ment committee snld j-estcrday: "I do not want to find myself In line with those who will oppose tho mayor's nomination of a Republican to suc ceed a Demon att but there are cir cumstances connected with this cao which piompt me to wish that some one other than Mr. Walker wore nom inated " lie then went on to ie.nl from the ordinance establishing the Are depart ment, a clause which stipulates that the chief engineer shall be elected by the llremen nnd that the chief must have been In tho set vice three j'ears: TI1D ORDINANCE A supplement to an ordinance estab lishing a flro department in the city of Scranton, appiovcd Januaiy 1ft, 1879. Section fi2S, Page 2fi7, Laws and Ordinances, 1S87. Tho chief engineer and assistant en gineers shall be elected annually on tho last Wednesday of Murch by the elulj1 qualllled members oc the fire de pat tment In the meeting loom of the select council, between tho hours of foul (4) o'clock p. in and nine (9) o'clock p m The chief engineer shall have been an active member of the lire department not less than three jears, nnd the assistant engineers act ive members not less than one (1) year next preceding their election This is tho onlj' ordinance the city ever passed dealing with the lire de partment. It has never been tepealed and It Is claimed is not In conflict with the Act of 1SS9 In any way. When the Act of 1SS9 was adopted a validating act was passed continuing oi dliiances nnd legalizing tesolutlons that were adopted previous to the pass ago of the act. This validating act rends as follows. That the -.elect and common councils In tho titles of this state, as the same are now and have been constituted and organized, aio hereby declared to be, nnd to have been legallj constituted councils. All ordinances nnd resolu tions passed and ndopteel by a vote of tho majority of all the members elect ed to each branch of tho councils, in the cities of this state as said councils arc now and have been heretofore con stituted and organized, and approved of bv tho mayor, or If passed notwith standing tho objections of the major by a vote of two-thirds of all tho mem bers elected to each branch of councils aforesaid, and whether publication has or has not been made of said ordi nances and resolutions, If otherwise regular, ate heteby validated and do clated to be In full force: Provided, that this act shall not apply to cities or the llrst and second clusses MAYOR SAY'S IT CONFICTS. This, It would seem, validates the or dlnanco above quoted, but when the matter was brought to tho attention of Mayor Molr ho stated that the ordi nance In question was In conflict with the Act of 1SS9, which pi ov Ides that the maj'or shall nominate the heads of de partments, and for that reason w 111 not stand. Ho also said that ho had been Informed that tho validating act was onlj' Intended to applj to measures framed under the Act of 1SS7, and which was declared unconstitutional. At all events, It gives Chief Hlckey's friends on the Democratic sldo and Mr. Wnlker's opponents on the Republican sldo somo ground for argument, and It Is safe to predict that thej' will not bo slow to seize upon It. The possibility of two parades on In spection day was quite generallj dis cussed about city hall. Acting Chief Suydam and tho dlsttict chiefs have made all arrangements for the inspec tion under dliectlons of the mayor Chief Hlckey, under authority of the joint Are depai tment committee of councils, stalled In jesterday to maku new arrangements If ono partj' or the other Isn't halted before next Monday theio is every possibility that there will be two patades.
