Jr. SUtoonce. TRUTH BEFORE FAVOR." - PRItfCIPLEb NOT MEN. 1 VOL 32 No. 48 Flestierton, Ont., Thursday, May 29, IO13 W. fl. THDRSTON EDITOR and PI. OP Love Pays The Penalty of His Crime Henry Love was hanged in Owen Sound jail yard on Tuesday morning. May 27th, for the murder of his wife at Ceylon on December 9 last. The crime was a btutal one, the woman hav- ing been stunned by a blow on the head and afterwards thiown down cellar and dragged to the rear of the partially dug cellar, where a knife wss used to com- plete the horrible deed. Headers of The Advance have bcn kept thoroughly poste 1 on the case from the beginning and it is unnecessary to give further detailu. The trial was an eminently fair one, and from the evidence produced the jury did not hesitate to bring in a ver- dict of guilty without any recommenda- tion to mercy. There has been no shadow of doubt existing in the minds of the people here th<U the verd ct was a just one. The evidence, though circum- stantial, was too straight to be ignored. The Execution Love weut to sleep as n.suul Monday night and slept until :i.:J Tuesday morn- ing, when he awoke and asked a guard what time it wan. He then went to sleep again for an hour. At 4.30 he awoke again and dressed and ate a hearty breakfast of ham, eggs, toast and tea. His awful position did not seem to weigh upon him to any great extent, and he said very little to the guards. A few minutes before six o'clock Rev. Mr. Mullowney went to the cell and from that time until twenty minutes to seven the doomed man spent his time in iir.iyer. At thin hour Governor Miller of the jail entered the cell with Hang- man Holmes. " Well, Henry," suid the Governor, " I guess the time has come for us to part." " All right," replied Love, " had I better come out there now If " " I guewyou had better, " replied the Governor. Then turning to the execu- tioner he sjiid, "This js your num." Love submitted quietly while Holmes >-t rapped his wrist* behind his back, after shaking hands with those present in the cell. The little procession then formed and the niiu-eh to the gtillows began. The scaffold hail l**n erected in tlie south-east comer of the court yard and was cloned in with white canvas to hide the view from morbid spectators. In- Ktructiuns to this erlect had lieen receiv- ed from Ottawa. I'p to this time the least concerned person in the party ap- peared to lie Love himself, but upon catching Night of the gallows hi face blanched to the color of ashes. He showed no sign of fear, however, and his step was firm as he mounted the scaffold. In solemn terms the minister read a statement prepared by Love. This statement did not contain any confession of guilt. Death was practically instan- taneous, but the Ixxly remained susjiend- . il for eleven minutes. The remains were then taken down and buried in the jail yard. Statement of Henry Love To be read on the .scutfold and given to the press : It is not likely I shall say anything on ' the scaffold, but I want you, Mr. Mull (iwney, to tell the people, for me, that I M. nit them to take warning, that is when the spirit of God strives within them, they should yield to God and not put oti salvation to the eleventh hour like me, HIM! not be like me with 23 years ol wasted time serving the devil that shoulti have been for God. Over twenty years ago G od's spirit strove within me but 1 refused to yield. Look at me now ! But even at this Ute hour God has forgiven me and I die in peace. Yet I leave the world with this awful thought my life w is wasted. But He who has hat mercy on my soul is willing and able U save you. Come to Him now !
