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.
