A despatch from Bracebridge. Ont" saysiâ€"Willie Hammond, the murder- er of Katie Tough, his wife. was hang- ed at three minutes past eight on Thursday morning. and remained sus- pended for 18 minutes. At eight o'clock the officers of the law entered the gaol and repaired at once to the corner of the yard Where the scaffold had been erected. Radcliffe the hangman, had gone in afew min- utes previous. carrying a. valise, and smoking acigar with easy nonchalanoe. The hangman went at once to Hamâ€" mond's cell, where the doomed man was talking to Rev. Mr. Leith. No words passed between the two, and the prisoner's arms were quickly pinioned. merit. and he died bravely. Rev. M. J. Leith, the Presbyterian minister. fol- lowed the doomed man. and Sheriff Bettes, Dr. Steele, the guol physician. Dr. Bridgeland. M. P. P., and Magis- trates Sword. of Beatrice, and Boyer, of Bracebridge. were the only other witnases of the horrible spectacle. A PARTIAL CONFESSION. The minister read the service for the occasion as he walked with bowed head. and Hammond appeared to listen to his words. The young murderer, in response to the usual question. said in a. clear voice. "I am guilty in one sense but innocent in another." The signal was then given to the hangman. and the bolt was drawn. Hammond shot down and out ofsight, and only the twitching rope spoke of the tragedy which was being enacted. Dr. Steele drew his watch. and for eighteen minâ€"- utes stood beside the dangling heap of clothes. He then pronounced life to be extinct, and the body was cut down. OUTSIDE THE GAOL. The story of the execution which follows has been gathered by inter- viewing those who were presnet, as Sheriff Bettes adhered to his intention of not admitting the press. So strict were the officer's views in the matter that he refused to make public the most commonplace facts connected. with the affair; going sofar indeed as to decline to tell the hour of execution or the name of the condemned man's spiritual attendant. ' PROCESSION TO THE SCAFFOLD. Hammond walked between County Constables Armstrong and MoFayden, and though pale as a ghost. mounted the scaffold with a firm step. At the first glimpse of the instrument of the law he faltered, and his nerve forsool: him for a brief instant. His selfâ€"pos- session Ieturned to his aid in a mo- The sound of the trap-door falling was distinctly heard outside the gaol premises. where a motley group of men. women and children were gathered. As soon as the bolt had. been sprung a. black flag was run up in front of the courtâ€"house, where it remained for an hour, while the bell toiled at intervals. Hammond retired abuut 9.15 on VVed- nesday night, after havxng read his Bible for some time. His rest was brok- en and fitful. and he was not much refreshed this morning at five o‘clock when he arose. He ate a hearty break- fast, and was in good spirits when Rev. Mr. Leith came in about six o‘clock never leaving the side of the doomed man until the last. 'The clergyman. though greatly puzzled by the variable temper of his charge. believes that he had made his peace with his God. Radcliffe and the two magistrates. the. latter greatly agitated, were the first to coma out of the g-aol. The hangmnn was still smoking. and swag- gered down the street to his hotel. fol- lowed l)y a. rabble of men and boys. FATHER \VILL GET THE BODY. The Ontario Government will allow Mr, Hammond, senior. to bury his dead, and the interment will probably take place at Gravenhurst. It was largely due to the sheriff‘s importuni- ties that this boon was granted the old man. as Mr. Bettes states that the gaol-yard is unfit to he used as a ceme- tery. New gaol buildings will prob- ably be erected very shortly, and if the body were buried in the yard it would ne necessary to exhume it. Coroner Campbell empanelled ajury immediately after the execution. but it was not until an hour and a half later lhut this learned body found out, and made the announcement. that the cause of death was a broken neck. Hammond poisoned his wife with prussic acid at Gravenhurst, with the object of securing $5.000 insurance which he had placed on her life. He Has Compiled ‘VHII the Brit sh Ad- miral's Ultimatum.
