The men had been con-dumned to death by the garotte se murderers, violators and Incendiaries.” Troops were drawn In a hollow square, and In the middle were placed the chair and post. Ruiie, the public executioner, had deputized an assistant to conduct tho affair.The condemned men having received the offices of the church, were brought Into the square to meet their fate. One of thom bad confessed his guilt nnd affirmed tho innocence of all the others who also protested that tney were guiltless. The flrsi man to die took his scat In the chair calmly; the iron collar was fixed about his neck and the cap drawn ovor his face.Then the executioner undertook to apply tho screw, but was so excited that his hand slipped repeatedly, with the result that the victim died by slow strangulation, emitting all tbe while the most distressing crle?. The Itcond execution was accomplished with even more distressing awkwardness and delay, the executioner being almost on the verge of collapse as uo performed hie horrible function. *The protests of the officers and priests forced Rulso to undertake the third execution, but he did little better than his assistant hid done. Tbe fourth victim of the bungling garroter was likewise tortured snd then Rulso literally fled from his pest, leaving his assistants to put to death the fifth unfortunate Cuban, who eeaaped none of the agonls. tng experiences tbit had attended tho execution of bis fellows.
