Five Men Pay the Penalty to Law
Winchester Tennessee May 5 Henry Judge Joseph Delp and John Evans were hanged today for the murder of Simon Bucher and wife last August. The three men showed calm indifference as they spoke briefly of their readiness and absence of regret. Sheriff prepared for crowd threats and set an early hour to prevent trouble. The motive centered on Judge wanting land and timber rights. Evans and Delp carried out the killings and arson. Bucher survived to name his attackers before dying. Separate report from Pittsburgh details two more hangings, Hartley and Edwards, with the latter demanding a proper rope and both men executed for separate killings.
