How a Life Will End The Scaffold Telated-Instrument of Breath and How It Will be
Jeffersonville Ind Aug 15 Capt J B Patten warden tested the scaffold for the hanging of William Henson. A 200 pound weight dropped five feet as the trap functioned. The permanent execution house sits at Cell-house B with an eight by twelve by fifteen foot structure.

The rope length and gas lighting will illuminate the area as the warden and two assistants prepare for the Friday morning execution. Henson sleeps in a car six feet from the scaffold. The burial is expected inside the prison walls due to lack of funds for a funeral.
