WEDNESDAY EVENING

"PEOPLE TOO MID"
SAYS MURDERER
[Continued From First Page]
before he began his march to the
scaffold.
And In the same frayed trousers.
gray, collarless shirt and broken shoes*
he had worn in prison for the last sev
eral months the murderer of William
Henry Slater was hanged in the Jail
yard.
To-day's execution may be the last
by that method to he carried out In
Dauphin county; certainlv it was the
last hanging of a negro. For the first
time In the history of Dauphin county
the entire Jury of twelve men were
negroes, and negro physicians stood
beneath the trap with stethescopes and
listened for the final beat of Hall's
heart.
On the Death Trap
Until the last moment, perhaps. Hall
had been perfectly tractable, but ob
stinate so far as the usual preparations
for his death were concerned. To
prison, guards, to deputies and to his
spiritual adviser he had protested that
he should not be hanged because he
didn't mean to kill Slater. So, up until
the moment he stood upon the death
trap Mall maintained an apparent in
difference to the exhortations of the
minister.
But as the sheriff and his deputies
were adjusting the arm*and ankle
straps and the noose bare-headed
jurors and other witnesses beneath the
gallows saw Hall's lips moving, as ifin
prayer.
At 10.09 the sheriff stepped to thp
side of the gallows and kicked the pin
that released the otherwise perfectly
secure floor of the scaffold. Just
twelve minutes later Drs. C. H. Cramp
ton, A. Leslie Marshall and C. L. Car
ter nodded to the sheriff and his depu
ties. The tightened rope had to be cut
from Hall's throat. The physicians
HARRISBURG ffijjfol TELEGRAPH
said he had strangled to death.
Didn't Want To Go
During the last several months Hall
seemed cheerful enough and only grew
really serious when his execution was
talked of. Then he insisted that he
"didn't want to go to the yard." Al
though able to read and write. Hall
was superstitious and stoutly contend
ed that regardless of what became of
his body on the scaffold he "was
a-comin' back to haunt" those who
had had "anything to do with his
hangin'."
Since last Saturday he had refused
to clasp anyone's hand and even re
fused to shake hands at parting with
his spiritual adviser, the Rev. Milford
Ball, pastor of the Zion Baptist
Church.
Nor would the condemned pray or
sing with the minister. He was on his
knees a bit this morning, but didn't
seem to be concerned with the ques
tion of conversion. He didn't want to
go to the jail yard, he said, and added
firmly "that they wouldn't get him out
In the yard unless they carried him."
The board with which weak-kneed
prisoners are strapped when it Is nec
essary to carry them out was brought
to Hall'B cell. Then he decided to
walk.
Sings "Casey Jones"
While Hall refused to join in the
singing of the hymns in his cell he
startled a sleeping jail early this morn
ing by softly singing "Casey Jones."
Contrary to the usual custom, the
whole Jail was so quiet that the pro
verbial dropping of a pin this morn
ing would have made a noise. Sitting
within their cells the more than 200
prisoners quietly waited until Hall
made his Journey to the jail yard.
When the sudden clatter of the falling
trap sounded through the lower corri
dors some of the prisoners whispered
prayers. On other occasions, when
condemned men requested it, the cells
and corridors echoed with the voices
of the prisoners singing hymns.
Hall was awake before daylight this
morning and talked quite a while with
Underkeeper Reigle. He said he is
surely "coming back." Whether or
not Hall's mother In far-awav North
Carolina Is notified of his death didn't,
apparently, concern the negro.
Among those who saw the execution

: to-day was Sheriff H. E. Wilson, of
i Huntingdon county, who was the guest
of Sheriff H. C. Wells. The negro
jurors were Alonzo Harris, A. H. Duf
fan, William Green, Russel Robinson,
Robert Waters, David Harrod, Harry
Burrs. John P. Seott, James Robinson,
Robert Hall. Isaiah Parsons and Ed
ward Murphy. In addition to the col
ored physicians Dr. W. T. James, the
prison physician, helped officiate be
neath the gallows.
The scaffold had been erected just
outside the eastern jail yard door and
this was screened from the view of
possible roof sightseers by a great can
vno canopy. Outside the jail hundreds
of people waited from 10 o'clock until
after the covered body was taken to
Undertaker S. S. Speece's automobile.
