WINDRETH, Joseph @-S-/S/SIFE
"Chicago, Ill,, June 5, 1896-Manacled, but struggling
feebly with his guards, and with incoherent cries ring-
ing from his lips, Joseph Windwrath was hanged in the
county jail, Even to the last second Windrath feigned
insanity. As the steel bracelets were snapped on his
wrists, he kept up a continual cry of 'Hang up Mannow,
Hang up Mannow, Hang, Hang.e' Then he changed to 'I will
sleep bye andbyee' As the rope was placed around his neck
his eyes glared and again he commenced shouting, this time,
‘Lenox, open the bed box;'! The cries came chokingly as the
jailer tightened the noose, Not until the drop fell and
the rope tightened for the last time around “indrath's nec
were the awful cries stilled, The condemned showed great
vitality, and it was 1); minutes before he heart seased to
veat. Qeath was caused by strangulation,"
