Chapman walked to the blue chalk circle on the floor of the death chamber in full strength. He looked quietly around, his glance lingering an instant on the closet in which the j mechanism of the hanging machine J was hidden. Father Michael Barry entered the \ chamber with Chapman. He did not j have a crucifix. j A few minutes before Chapman's j neck was broken by the automatic : hanging machine the third reprieve j given him by Governor John H. j Trumbull to permit counsel to battle n the courts for the man's life expired. The governor in final appeals j for still another reprieve refused to; grant "even another hour," thej courts, federal and state, for lack of evidence or legal reasons, having declined to grant a new trial. Chapman's hope for delay in execution, I waning as his counsel lost in the j courts, faded when the b6arri of par,1am., I.:.. 1: - - * ..w.ui ?. uia appiiciitioa lor commutation to life imprisonment. In the death chamber were the 1 officials required by law, represcnta- : tives of seven daily newspapers in l Hertford county, who under the law were permissive witnesses, and three ; persons, selected by the condemned ; man. ' Chapman walked from the death 1 cell to the death chamber, a distance 1 of about 10 feet, across a narrow entry. In the death chamber a guard ' on either side of the noose, dangled ' the end of a new, well-stretched rope 1 which disappeared in the ceilingr, the ' unseen end being attached to the ma- 1 chine which wan hot'.within sight of A the witnesses. The witnosses and prison officials passed into the death chamber. The * midnight hour had come and the re- 1 pricve was ended. The door was ( closed." All except the parole clerki.1 and the warden passed by the dang- ! * ling noose and took seats on benches ' in the rear of the room, ten feet from * the rope, while the parole clerk and 'f the warden passing to the left stop- e ped at a metal coverlet into the flooi J in tne extreme left hand corner, their!' figures masking a plunder which pro- i * truded from the cover much like an | c automobile footbrak . j t It required only a minute to seat f the witnesses. The chnniber doorj<' opened and Chapman with his armsjs bound bv a leather strap, a guard- on! eit her side, walked in without stop-:* ping to look at the noose, five fceti1 from tne door sill. A guard passed;11 a strap around hjs legs above the c knees and in almost simultaneous mo- 11 tion other guards slipped $ black 0 satin cap over his head and the noose. v drawing the latter taut. A signal t was given, a foot pressed the pliingt f, v noiselessly the slack of the rope was v taker, up and second jerk carried Chapman straight upwards several i feet. After a brief interval the body s was lowered so that the feet were a a few iriches from the floor. The pi*is- 71 on physician and medical examiner rose from their seats and opening the f coat and shirt of the dead man ap- a plied their stethoscopes. When Chap- * man had been officially pronounced 1 dead the chamber door opened again, c a man wheeled in ar undertaker's :V basket and the body was placed in it t am: romoved to the room which e Chapman had left in life a few min- t ivtes before. i MOTHERS ASK THAT DRUNKS BE RUN OUT [ , ' ?
