Dominic Ramunno Will be Hanged in the Jail Corridor May 5th. Governor Stuart has set Tuesday, May 5th, as the date for tho execution of Dominic Ramunno, who was found guilty, by a jury in our county court, of murder in the first degree, which took place at Sykesville in January, 1900.

Onlv the physicians and leg al jurors, who will be members of the state polioe, and the executioners will witness the execution.

Already the sheriff has received a number of requests for admittance to witness the execution, but his decision in the matter shuts out all except those necessary by law. Blake E. Irvin Nominated.
