Which He Declaies That He Had No In tention of Killing Mrs. Westcott, and Made Some References to the Witnesses Who Testified Against Him on the First Trial His Re mains Were Taken to tho Home of His Mother After the Erecution and Eaily in the Afternoon Weie Bulled in Sunmoie Cemetery. George K. Van Horn was hanged In the '.ackawanna county Jail In this city soon after 10 o'clock yestciday morning. Fiom a hangman's stand point the execution was as successful and as fiee from revolting features as1 was poeedhlf. The condemned man's neck was bioken by the fall, and, al though his body -was allowed to hang for neai ly lllteen minutes, lie was no doubt unconscious fiom the moment the lope stialghlelied. Van Hoi n went to bis doom without an otitu.uil perceptible tiemoi. He mounted the scaffold' with almost no assistance whatever lioin Kheillt 1'ijor and Wat den Simpson, who walked on either side of him. Dining; the shoi t lime neiessiuy to adjust the noose, knee sttap and black cap his hands had been pievluilsl handcuffed behind him he gave one oi two steady, sweep ing glances at the hundred heads bo low blin, and went to his doom with no dlsphu of fear. He wus the game, or the despeinte man of gallows hls tnij, ace ending to the coustiuctlon an Individual might put upon It. Despite the know ledge that nobody without one of the inueh-tieasuied tickets of admission could enter, a ciowd ot seveial hundred pel sons con gregated on Washington avenue In front of the Jail up t the time of the execution. .Meanwhile the turnkey stationed at the main entiance ad mitted only those' who weie pioperly cieilentialed. These nutnbeied about a bundled, and included men who lep lesente'd nearly all tailings. liven a minister and an ox-mlnlstti, neither of whom had anv dlieet interest In the hanging, win among the number. A DM ISSION T1CKKTS. Theic! wua nothing about the simple tickets of admission tei suggest the legalized tiagedy that was soon to take place In the cool and mjsteilous cli'pths ot the Jull pioper. K.ich ticket was about the sUe of u lad.v's visiting eaid, was pink in color, and nail as follows: She Hits Ofllce, Si lantou, P.i . Mai I l Ullll.im J. ill T.

To sectne these bits of biItol houid hundreds ot the moibldly curious pci Mins had lmpoi tuned Sheilff I'ryor for .seveial months past. Out of the veiy huge m.ijcully who wete ictused, scores tried to bring all manner of political and business piessure to bear to possess them, but to ull of these Sheriff Piyor was obduiate. To some of the nioie giuesome enthusiasts lie was obliged to lemaik with emphasis that the hanging was to be somewhat of a serious matter and not an incident piovlded for the purpose of furnishing .1 halt-holiday's amusement to men of "neive" 13ven this kind of answer failed to ellscouiage many applicants, who continued their canvas up to the hour of tlio execution. llveiy man piesent vv.is theic as a physician, a sheriff's jureu or a deputy sheriff. While waiting in the waulon's olllce and In the conldor the Jury pie- parcc' Its Instrument showing tint the ce c ution had taken place that the re eiuiiemcnts of the law had been lul fllled but the paper was not signed until after the sentence h id been car iled nui. Thuie were no late nt rivals. All who saw the hanging wore In tbe jail befoie 9.4." o'clock and ten minutes later they were conducted thiough tho lion gateway Into the main jail ttiuc tme, down a flight of lion stnlt an 1 into the lower couidor of the north wing wheio the scaffold was In plate. Till: SCAFFOLD The plain but strongly built engine of death was of wood and stietched fiom wall to wall. Kchlnd It on the right and concealed from view was the cell which contained the condemned prisoner. Privileged per.sons, including District Attorney John It. Jones and rtev. Thomas de Gi itchy, of the Jack son rStieet Paptlst church, occupied positions on the baleonv footway run ning along the upper tier of celH and ovci looking the gallows. Only the occasional hursh clank ot a heavy door of oak und lion icveiiled to the witnesses that pieparntions for biingiug the condemned to the scaffold weie In progress Though the wait was only of four minutes' duration, It seemed ten before footballs weie heard on the scaffold stairway and the head and Hhoulders of Hev. It. H. liulgin, Van Horn's spliltual adviser, appeared above tho scaffold landing. Following him came Van Horn. With slow but dim and steady steps he mounted to tho ttapped floor. Sheiiff Pryor on hln light and Warden Himpson on his left, had it supporting grasp on Van 1 loin's arm, but ho walked with such appar ent assuianco that the majoilty of those piesent will probably dcclaio that he could have mado tho trying Journey alone If such bad been re rjulied of him. Van Hoin was dtesscd In a llnely fit ted suit of black. Ho woie a small boutenlero of violets. The sack coat was buttoned and It made luomlnent the vvetirer's leally finely built figure, which, until tho hour of his death, had usually been seen at a disadvan tage owing to his indifferently worn or carelessly selected attire. Ho wore a pair of black leather bllppors. nm:udi:d no snppoivr. Without u supporting hand, until nf ter his kiipeea had been strapped, when Shcilff Por put his hand on Vun Horn's shoulder, the latter ntcocl ap parently Indifferent to hli fate. He neither moistened his lips nor twitched nor opened them, each of which would have been a sign of fear. Hip only noticeable movement before thtr black cap v.as dtawn over his head wih to suney the crowd below him and to rest an unflinching look, longer than might have been expected, upon DIs tilct Attorney Jones, who (Hood in ix gioup on the balcony footway slightly abovo tho condemned man and to his left.

The bodv shot stmlght downwnid and remained motionless, oiept lor a swinging motion for per haps a half minute, when theie was noticed a v lolent tw ite hlng of the hand cuffed hands and a few Jeiks of the feet. This evidence ot violence, bow ever, lasted not longer than twenty or thiity seconds, when the body again became motlonless. e.c eptlng when It was disturbed at intervals by the jail physician, Di W.

Hev. ill. liulgin stood on the scaf fold stalls when the tup opened, but his back was at that moment pur posely turned upon the scene. The minister stood with bowed head and with his hands clasped befoie him. He held a Hlble and some pap eis, one ot the latter being a statement signed by Van Hoin jestenlay morn ing. Faithful in his mlnlstutlun-s to the last second, the cleigtnan war, puvlng dining Van Horn's drop to the end of the rope and for a few momenlb following. Van Horn's statement was dictated to Jlr. liulgin and was signed by S'an Horn iv Ull a firm and steady hand just before be left his cell to mount the scaffold. It was given by the lnttei to the icpotters Just as soon as tho body was lowered. It reads as fol lows I know I am near tho end of this eaithly life, and that It Is but a short time ere I will pass through the veil that sepaiates time from eternity to stand in the mesonce or. the hoveieign Judge. Woids of tiuth ought now to be spoken. It will not do to falsify In this my last hour on earth. Nuturally theio are those who would like me to leave a paitlng message.

Those -who expected to sec any re ,oltlng evidence of the cause of death were ngrecably disappointed on view ing the dead man's face. No sign of violence, pain or struggle rested there. The lips were closed, the expression was one of piofound peace and thi whole countenance Indlcnted that lis owner hud pasxed foiovei Into a calm sleep. An examination showed that the neck had been thoroughly bioken. Kuch detulls would not bo generally . - -r.'i :i C A" VN.-V."'s.;i.rt' T acceptable If they coincided with the accepted theory that a hanging causes an epiesdon or honor, but In this case, where then was no slow and agonizing Miangulatlon, the body was as lltted for view as any bodv could be. The man's fnclal opiession In life as he stood on the callows and as ho lay lifeless .seemed a proof of his hon esty in the last words be utterd. Just before leaving his cell nnd after thank ing the sheriff and other olllclals for what they had clone lor him and alter telling Shei iff Pior lie bad no state ment to make on the gallows, he said slovly and with more feeling than he had at any time shown: "I am gulng feeling and knowing that I am all light. Home day the world will know all." From 8 o'clock until Van Hoin was hanged, Mr. Hulgln was with him In his ce 11. Meanw hlle. the only persons who saw him were the foimer's brother, John Hdwaicl W. Thayer, one of Van Horn's attorneys, and Dr. 11. R. Wate, Mr. Uulgln's physician. Neither din ing this pel loci nor prev lously did Van Horn show any sign ot weakening. He seemed a stoic well, be was, ex ternally," said Mr. Hulgln to a Tribune reporter after the execution, "hut he was a man of the deepest and most intense emotions." hi: sli:pt wcr,T,. Van Hoi n ate a hearty supper Wed nesday night and retired at 10 !0 o'clock. Ho slept soundly all tho night and had to be awakened at 5 o'clock yesterday morning. This he had re quested on xetlring. To Henry W. Loftus, one of the death watch, Van Horn said he had slept well. While he was diessing tho conversation turned to himself and he said to I.oftus that be did not mean to kill Mrs. West cott, a statement be li.nl made times without numbei. A tempting breakfast, consisting of nn orange, sliloin steak, creamed po tatoes, coffee, cake, pickles and a relish or two was btought to the cell soon after 7 o'clock and Van Horn ate beait Ily of It. Mis, Cora Johnson, one of the matrons, was In the cell when Van Hoin was preparing to eat. She made some lemark of sympathy and he said In one breath that bis position could not be helped, there was no need for him or any one else to wony and that "he guessed he would begin with the oiange, as it was good for u. man's stomach In the morning and would make him eat well." At S 10 o'clock Van Horn dressed In the suit of clothes he wore when he was banged. Mr. Hulgln had arrh-ed meanwhile and theteafter nobody was present, except lor a moment or two, the few persons nlieady mentioned and Captain AVarmr, who at S o'clock be gan tho last cle-ath-watch and who re mained near enough to the condemned and tho minister to respond to any emergency that might arise.
