Dan Lucey swung into eternity amid a Cold-Blooded killing case surrounding Patrick Reagan. Police allege the incident occurred in a violent confrontation and led to a high profile murder investigation.
The Montana killer Dan Lucey was hanged at Stil eclock amid calm acceptance and praise for the Standard and County Attorney Connolly. He denied any confession and forgave his enemies, receiving last rites before the gallows.
Daniel Lucey was executed by hanging at 11:10 PM after a lengthy courtroom and prison procession. The crowd watched as priests prayed, sheriffs prepared the noose, and Lucey delivered a brief final statement before the gallows. The neck was broken, death occurred within five minutes, and his body lay in state at Sherman’s before burial at the Catholic cemetery.
A historical chronicle ties Lucey to a string of September dates from his birth on September 18, 1858 to his execution on September 14, 1900. It recounts enlistment in 1882, desertion in 1886, Montana arrival in 1890, murder on September 2, 1898, a planned wedding for September 5, a 1899 hangings stay and a second death sentence in 1900, plus capture in April 1899 and legal steps through 1900.
A long profile sketches Daniel Lucey as a cold blooded West felon linked to multiple killings. It recounts Reagan and Leary deaths in Silver Bow canyon with Lucey as the last seen, notes seven months of post arrest defense, and hints at earlier Arizona and army era murders. Continued on page nine.
