BARNER PAYS PENALTY.
Murder of his Brother in Law Avenged Last
Tuesday Morning.
E'mer E. Barner, aged 36 years was
hanged in the Dauphin county jail
yard Tuesday morning at 10.10.
Death was due to strangulation and
came fifteen and a half minutes after
the drop fell. His body was cut down
at 10.30,
The crime for which Barner paid the
penalty was the kiliing of his brother
in law, Issac Miller, a well to do
farmer, who resided near Halifax, He
went to his death with a remarkatle
display of nerve, assisting his execu-
tioners in arranging his beard and
placing the rope beneath his chin. Ie
made no statemeat after leaving his
cell, andas he walked through the
lines to the gallows looked about
him with a smile on his face. He
walked up the steps in the rear of the
scaffold with a study step and with a
military precision piaced his feet to
gether, buttoned his coat, arranged
his tie, brushed aside his beard, which
has grown since his incarceration, and
without the least sign of fear signified
his desire to have the execution pro-
ceed
His death was severe and the moye-
ments of his body at times showed
that he was slowly buf surely stran-
gling to death.
Throughout the execution the crowd
of spectators were well behayed at the
conclusion Sheriff Reiff’ thanked them
for the orderly manner ia which they
had eonducted themselves, Ile then
requested the spectators to pass out
quietly.
When all but the jurors and physi-
cians had left the jail yard the body
was taken down, an inquest was held
and the remains were given in charge
of the undertaker, who prepared
it for burial at Barner’s Church, near
Liverpool, Wednesday.
