LUCKEY HANGED. l Ie Paid, the Penalty of his Crime on. the Gallows. Ile Protested idm lnnocense to the End -Wide a Firm and 'unshaken Demeanor he Asscn.Lrs the Cal - lows, -,19e dies from Strangu- lation. Brockville. Dec. 14. -This morning at 8 o'clock Charles Sandford Luckey, charged at the last assizes with the murder of las sister at Newbliss in Oc- tober, 1892, and sentenced .by Judge Rose to be hanged,paid with his life the penalty demandedwof the law. Between 40 and 50 people were admitted by tic ket within the jail walls to witness the execution. Outside were a couple of hundred, eager to gain admittance, ttan ca, but they were not allowed to enter. The condemned man retired last night at 6.30. At 8 he fell asleep and re mained so until 11,when he awoke. Shortly afterwards ne went to sleep again. At 4 a m. he was awakened by the entrance of the jailer and turn- key into the corridor. He then arose and appeared quite calm and collected. He dressed himself in the prison cloth- ing he had worn since the sentence of death had bean passed upon him. He was then taken to the day room, where he dressed himself to go forth to his execution. The clothes he wore con- sisted of a neatly fitting black worsted stoat and vest and dark striped pants, the suit which he had on when arrested' at Smith's Falls on: the evening of the murder and which he wore at the trial here. He partook of breakfast consis ting of a cup of tea, a bun and some cheese. This he seemed to partake of with considerable relish. Having fin- ished the meal he picked up his Bible and read until the arrival of Rev. Dr. Saunders at 5.10 He rose to meet his spiritual ad wiser, shook hands with him and entered into a conversation on re ligious matters. He then read with deep feeling some manuscript he had prepared referring to his conversion. When he had finished reading this he broke down and said he "would be soon at home over there." He gave the manuscript to Dr. Saunders with the request that what he had written should be printed. To Rev. Dr. Saun- ders and others who spoke to him 'he said in the strongest terms possible that he was innocent of the crime which he had been found guilty of and for which he was about to die. Shortly before 8 Radcliffe, the hang- man, entered the cell and walked straight' to his victim. who calmly awaited his approach without the faint- est movement of a muscle to denote fear or anxiety. Radcliffe shook hands with him and told him who he was,and asked if he was ready. "Yes," said Lucky, "I am ready and perfectly wil- ling; let the law take its course. I have been pronounced guilty, but lam as innocent as you are of that terrible crime. I know nothing more about it than you do. I forgive all and forgive you, although you are about to take my life." Taking the profferred hand of Radcliffe he then said "Farewell; I forgive you." The procession to the gallows then started. Luckey calmly surveyed the gallows and took his place under the dangling rope in a :.perfectly calm and collected manner He shook hands with the hangsman, Rey. Dr. Saunders repeated the Lord's prayer, and at the words "deliver us from evil" Radcliffe pulled the rope,the weight dropped and the body of the unfortunate man was jerked up into the air. For about a minute the body hung almost motionless. Then there was a twitching of the muscles in his arms and legs and a slight convulsive movement of the body. Two or three times afterwards there was a twitching of the body. After the expiration of seven minutes his pulse ceased to beat and Dr. Moore pronounced him dead. The usual post-mortem and inquest was then held. The post mortem re- vealed the fact that his neck was neither broken nor dislocated, d, th refore he died of strangulation. Luckey's friends applied to the Attorney -General for the body, but no reply having been received from Toronto the remains were buried in the yard. When Rad- cliffe was leaving the hotel for the jail this moaning he was met by three strangers, who called ' him very ugly names. The hangsman laid informa- tion against them, and it is understood they will be prosecuted HISTORY OF TI3E CIRrhiE, The Luckey farm is situated near village of Newbliss, about half a dozen miles from Smith's Falls, and in the homestead the old father and his wife, with the daughter, lived happily, The four sobs were away,Charles the young- est, being a noted do -well, who was for years a scorce of much trouble to his parents. Time and again did they as- sist him out of his, many scrapes, but when he was sent to the Central Prison in November, 1891, for the theft of a cap and coat in Ottawa, the father re- garded it as the last straw, and there- upon determined to let the boy go his own way ad never n n • r more to assist him e This resolve seems to have rankled in the young man's breast, and the fats cied injury grew until to hint It as sumed the proportions of bettig "dis- owned and accused," Then Charles Luckey made a vow to be avenged, on bis father. How he kept Haat volt+ fur iishee a dark page to the annals ot the country: On his release from the Central on the 7th October, 1892,. he at (lice turned his face homewards, not as a prodigal, but with the full inteutiou of doing a mischief to those he should 11a ve honored and respected: The fol lowing afterncou neighbors observed the Luckey homestead inflames, They found the house securely fastened and the interior a furnace. No one ap. peered about the premises, but a re- pellant odor apprized the horrified farmers that there were in the vicinity' of an awful tragedy. In the ruins of the house the charred remains of the three occupants, father, step -mother and daughter. Next day Charles was ar-ested in a Smith's. Falls hotel,' and. went sofaras a to admit that he had been to the farm` the preyious day, and had seen the house on fire, but did not consider that he was called on to go to thessia a tance of hisal• ents.On his feet were aairof p boots which were identified as belonging to his father, and some spots of blood on his cloth- ing regarded were also rem arded as damnatory evidence to stamp him els a parricide. The money in his possession was not satisfactorily- accounted for either_ Link by link the chain of circumstan- ces that finally condemned him were slowly put together,but when in April: last/ le was tried at Brockville the wit - nestles were conflicting and a verdict of not guilty returned. The prosecu tion then laid the capital charge against him for murdering his step- mother, and in October he was again placed ou trial, and under the new law was permitted to testify in his own be- half. He did this in such a fashion that, assisted by the evidence of an old man, named Whiting, the jury had no hesitation in finding him guilty, and on the night of Nov. 3 he was con- demed to death by Mr, Justice Rose. Anappeal for executive clemency proved futile. Ehmville.
