Kansas City, 8ept. 5.—The history of the gallows tells no more hideous etory than that of the execution of Louis Bulling, the St. Joseph wife murderer at Savannah. Up to a few days ago Bulling seemed cheerful and hopeful in the face of his approaching death. He had twice be fore cheated the gallowa by Jail break, ing. He reasoned that a chance still re mained. To it might be added two others—commutation cf the sentence or guicide. One of these chances failed, Early lost week it was discovered that Bulling had planned to break jail the third time. Steel saws were found in his cell and they were taken away from him. A perpetual guard was kept over him, and oil visitors were searched be fore being permitted to enter. All means of escape were cut off and then the doomed man sent for his father and mother, and pleaded with them to appeal to the governor for a commuta tion of the sentence. The faithful parents went to Jefferson City and had several personal interviews with Gov ernor Francis,' but the governor was firm in his decision' not to interfere. Still the parents did not lose heart. They made another call on the eruor, and pleaded for their son's The governor would not Interpose. Then Mr. and Mrs. Balling telegraphed their son the governor’s decision, and followed the message to Savannah. They had an affecting routing from the doomed man. When Bulling’s second chance for life disappeared he broke down completely, when he received from his parents the message that the governor was obdurate, be fainted. He was a confirmed opium eater and dur ing the night be waa given large dose* of the drug. It failed to have its ac customed effect, and the condemned mnrderer slept less than two hours dur ing the entire night. Rev. Augustus Lavake. during Balling’s waking hoars, spent the time in rending the Bible ana waving. exhorting Bulling to confess lis sins and receive baptism. Sheriff Berry had set the honr for ex- excut ion nt 10 a. m. When he went to the cell at B o'clock to prepare Bailing for the scaffold, the doomed man plead ed so piteously for an extension of u few hours, that the sheriff yielded and gave hhu until 3 o'clock to Uvc. Bulling ate breakfaat and spent the rest of the time in pleading with the sheriff for inercy, and attending to religi. us exercises con ducted by the Rev. Lavake. He still bad a faint hope of commutation, hot at noon submitted to the baptismal cer emony and received the sacrament. When 9 o'clock arrived he renewed his applications to the sheriff, and pleaded or one hour more. The sheriff granted, tvqueet. The sheriff tlun retired, caving the murderer with Mr. Lavake. at the same time removing the guard from the cell door, at Bolling's request to be left with bis spiritual adviser. The stillness of the jail was broken only by the voice of the priest, when suddenly two shots rang out. The sheriff ran to the celL The priest lay on the floor. At bis side lav Bulling, weltering in his own blood, which flowed from wonnds in bis breast. He had •hot himself twice with a revolver, and the priest had fainted.
