Tha History of tha Crimea for Which Win. West and Henry Marsh Buffi r Death. Washington, Ta., Feb. 26. West was brought to the scaffold at 2:32 o'clock, and In one minute the drop fell. The rope broke and after several minutes' wait the man bad dropped again at 21 min utes of three. The top held this time. West was thought to be unconscious be tween the two drops.

The position of the bodies when found showed that the family hud been sitting peacefully about the lire, and as Mrs. Crouch and her sou were very deaf, and the old man wus almost blind, the probabilities are they knew nothing of their impending death until the fatal blows were dealt them, ltoth Mr. and Mrs. Crouch re ceived but one blow, while Andrew was struck several times. The murder was not discovered until the day after it was perjietrated, and at first it seemed that there was no clew to the lleti l that bad done the awful deed.
