THE TRAGIC END OF A CAREER
OF CRIME.
The Nerre of the Brutal Wife-Murderer
Stands by Him to the Last
Fasted Into Eternity Without an
Expression of Remorse for His
Many Misdeeds The Condemned
Man's Last Hours Incidents At
tending His Ignominious: Death.
The career of Robert S. Ryan, stain
ed by the commission of most all the
crimes possible against God and his
fellow man, was brought to an igno
minious cloee last Thursday by the ful
fillment of a just penalty imposed by
the courts of the state. His awful fate
will stand for al time as a . warning to
those inclined to likewise disregard the
statutes laid down for the protection
of human 11 res, and were it not that
some one may b influenced by- the
dreadful example of bis misspent, life
to turn from paths that will eertainly
lead to a similar .end, all the promi
nence the newspapers have given his
'sdeeds and their, bitter reward has
misdirected and untimely.
K. 8. Ryan.or Sonly Ryan," the latter
being the name by which he was best
known, was born about forty-one years
ago.' At an early age he arrayed him
self against laws and morals and be
fore he was grown he was unfavorably
known if not feared by the law-abiding
people in the communities where be
lived. Perhaps the fact of his illegiti
mate birth and separation from the re
doing influences of parental care bad a
baneful effect on the development of
bis character, but in childhood he was
accredited with a aplrt that foreboded
an evil after-life. From a gentleman
who knew him all his life we learn that
one of Ryan's earliest diversions of a
serious nature was that of disturbing
religious gatherings, especially camp
meetings. . Ills fondness for evil asso
ciations brought pa their consequent
evil tendencies, and carousing, drink
ing aod gambling escapades followed
each ot.ber in rapid succession. About
twenty years sgo Ryan married Miss
EUza A. Jennings aod for a time It
seemed that he bad forsaken his evil
ways, but the influence of the faithful
wife gradually diminished until it of
fered no restraint to the Impulses
which overwhelmed him. The eight
children resulting from that union
are all living. The making of block
ade whiskey offered glittering possi
bilities to Ryan's depraved yet re
sourceful nature, j It must be said of
bim that he was possessed of a natural
shrewdness or cunning that made bim
all the more dangerous as a violator of
the law, for he always managed to es
cape punishment ; for his misdeeds by
the employment of artful resources.
Upon Mrs. Ryan mainly fell the bur
den of supporting the increasing fam
ily of children, the unnatural husband
and father oftener occupying the posi
tion of an impediment to such efforts
rather than an aid. Last spring, dur-

out a word to warn the defenseless
woman, the assassin's deadly bullet bad
penetrated her breast. 'But the story
of the carefully planned crime is known
to our readers aod need not be repeated
io detail here. The arrest of the mur
derer and its attendant sensational
feature?, together with his speedy trial
aod its pleasing termination, are like
wise matter with which the public is
thoroughly familiar. All these events,
however, lead up to the last chapter In
the drama which ended'Tbursday. On
that day Ryan walked to the gallows
with a tread as firm as that of any of
the eighty or more spectators w'ao had
assembled to witness his execution.
His demeanor duringbis imprisonment
waa not such as to indicate genuine re
pentance for bis foul crime. The in
difference with which he regarded his
orphaned children, the youngest one a
nursing babe, bad much to do with our
opinion oo that; point. Not once did
he inquire after , or ask to see any of
them, and bis only reference to them
was that be had not raised them right.
but hoped they would find homes among
good people. The ministers of the va
rious churches of the city visited him
for the purpose of turning bis thoughts
to God but they found his heart as of
adamant. Father Joseph, of St. Agnes
church, finally persuaded him to em
brace.the Catholic faith aod received
bim in that church on Wednesday
evening. Thursday morning at 7.30 be
administered holy communion and from
9.30 o'clock on was constantly beside
the prisoner. - f , T
About 9 o'clock Sheriff Hoskins and
one of his deputies went to the jail and
put the rope and trap in readiness.
About an hour later he returned to the
jail, accompanied by representatives of
the press, and read the death-warrant
to Ryan, who heard it with his charac
teristic indifference, only glancing at
the sheriff once or twice while the war
rant was being read. Before this party

the law caused bim to shake the dust o
the city from bis feet. That is the last
seen of him here until late in the fall,
when it wasTeported he made various
incursions to his old haunts under cover
of darkness His influence during his
absence was not entirely obliterated,
however. Writing to his fltteen-year-pld
son, who, in common with the other
members of the family stood in mortal
dread of him, be ordered the boy to
steal a bicycle and carry it out south of
the city a few miles where he could get
it. The bicycle was forthcoming but it
failed to meet the requirements of the
father and he sent back-word that an
other would have to follow. - The second
wheel was furnished and out of parts
of the two be made up one that seemed
to suit him. The 'finding of the dis
carded portions of the wheels led to the
subsequent recovery of both and their
restoration to their owners. The boy
was arrested for the thefts but a just
judge instead of sentencing him to im
prisonment bound bim out to his
grandfather, Mr. Jennings, until be be
comes of age. j.
The next we bear of Ryan he stands
on the night of December 4th at the
gate leading to the house that shelters
his wife and children. Disguised as a
woman he crouches in the shadows and
awaits the comingof one whose identity
the lowering clouds aod dense mists
could not destroy. 4 Presently she came,
on an errand to a nearby market, ac
companied by a five-year-old son.
Within a few feet of the gate she was
grssped by an arm that should have
beeu bers to look. upon for support and
protection. In another Instant, with-
; Big Time at the Academy.
Wednesday and Thursday nights of
left the cell door two of Ryan's cousinsj this week the new orchestra s recently
John O. Morrow and Martin Ryan,
were admitted to the upper floor of the
jail.in which the prisoner was confined.
They shook hands with him but. had
little to say. Ryan Inquired of them If
another cousin would be in add when
told he would remarked that tbey were
all the friends he cared to see. Before
leaving Sheriff Hoskins asked the pris
oner if there was anything he wanted
and urged him to retain his composure,
if possible, saying that he would return
about 11.30 and give him an opportunity
for any final preparations he desired to
make. .Ryan replied that he' had none
and had no desire to prolong the. sus
pense; that he was ready any time! the
sheriff was, but: would ask that j the
spectators be admittedja little while be
forehand so be could get used to the
crowd before walking through it. To
Father Joseph's; suggestion that the
outer wooden door leading to the cell
be closed in the meantime Ryan offered
a prompt objection. Io response to the
sheriff's question as to whether or not
Ryan wished to say anything on the
scaffold the priestassumed the respon
sibility cf saying he did not.
About half past eleven o'clock those
holding tickets of admission to the jail
were permitted to enter the jail yard
and in a few minutes they were ushered
up to the second aod third floors of the
foully-ventilated structure and divided
about equally between each. 'The forty
or more prisoners in the jail had pre
viously been bunched In the three cells
on the second floor. Over the stairs
and a few inches above the level of th
third floor stood the trap door on which
the prisoner was about to stand. En
tering his cell a deputy pinioned Ryan's
arms from behind and led him to the
trap. Father Joseph then read from
his ritual the 'Recommendation of a
Departing Soul," while Sheriff Hoskins
proceeded with the customary tying of
the prisoner's thumbs. Ryan seemed
most interested ! In tbe latter and re
marked to the sheriff, "Don't get ner
vous, Joe." The sheriff assured him he
was not nervous, and Inquired if he had
anything to say. j To this question came
the reply, "No." I Stepping upon the
trap preparatory to the adjustment of
tbe rope, black cap and the strap about
his ankles Ryan was again asked If be
had anything to say, but replied as be
fore, isneritr iiosktos nzed the rope
about the prisoner's neck, bade bim
good-bye, adjusted the cap, and asked
him if he wanted to give tbe word when
to spring the trap. Ryan said he did.
"Tell me when you are ready," said the
sheriff. "Let her go!" promptly re
plied Ryan in a firm voice, and the next
instant bis body was swinging gently
five and oneha!f feet below. The fall
broke his neck j and only one or two
slight involuntary muscular move
ments' were noticeable. In twelve
minutes he was pronounced dead by
County Physician Ledbetter and Dr.
Turner. Drs. Michaax, Battle, Fox
aod others were present and made brief
1 examinations of tbe remains, which
were carried down into the jail yard
and placed In a coffin for burial.! Be
fore their removal by some of the dead
man's relatives Father Joseph read the
burial service and recited a prayer for
the repose of bis soul. The young
priest wast more visibly affected than
anyone who witnessed the scene. A
majority of the, spectators were, of
course, drawn there through curiosity
but bad tbey made a special effort they
couid hardly have exhibited less feel
ing man aia ine prisoner in the pres
ence of his awful fate. The letter's
display of nerve, if nerve it may be
called, was remarkable. Those who
pinioned bis arms and feet say that not
a tremor traversed his body during the
oru?al. Truly he was an adept at self-
possession; f J . .
Outside the jail yard a crowd of per
haps fire hundred people had gathered.
but there was no disorder. Not a word
of sympathy In Ryan's behalf was ut
tered.
The remains were taken several miles
south of tbe city for burial.
The vindication of the human law is
complete. ;1
Since 1870 there have been but; five
other executions in this county. In
that year Sheriff Stafford hanged Bill
Parker, a white man.' In 1890 Sheriff
Hoskins banged Elijah Moore, colored.
for the murder of Laura Hiatt, a de
graded colored woman. J In 1892 Sheriff
fjook nangea . entries j -Blackburn, a
colored wife-murderer, and in ! 1893
Charles Reynolds, white, and Jack
Headen. colored, for the murder of
Salatbiel Swaim, an old gentleman
living near Pleasant Garden.

An attempt was bade to burglarize
che clothing store of C M. Vanstory &
Co. last Saturday night. Boies and
crates were piled to the level of a second
story window at the rear but the win
dow was locked and j evidently offered
more of an obstacle to the plans of the
burglar or burglars than was antici
pated, as the job was abandoned. It
happens that there is a bedroom on the
second floor of the building and the
gentleman who sleeps there is prepared
to give a "reception" to burglars on
short notice. The failure to effect an
entrance Saturday night was a blessing
in disguise to some one, for it is safe to
say there would have been a funeral in
tbe fraternity of crooks had it been
otherwise. While the firm may feel
gratified at the desire to secure their
goods at any hazard tbey would j much
rather supply the trade during business
hours, when tbe facilities for making
selections are best!- And then tbey
