THE HINGING OF NED ELFORS
[Continued from Pace I.J
English custom, by an official hangmen
whose identity was not made known,
his face concealcd by a bluck mask and
wearing over his other clothes a blue
pirka.
Beneath the scaffold was the wooden
box and beside it the sick of quick
lime. Suspended beneath the scatTold
tloor were two heavy slicks of wood,
there to quickly draw down the two
Maps of the trap when the time should
come.
Elfors had walked with bared head and
a'< the top of ihn stairway s'epped un
hesitatingly to the center of the
gallows, upon the trap, one foot on ench
side.
Among those present at the hanging
was Coruoral Mapley, who was pro
moted for his capture of the murderer
on the Yukon liver after Elfors had
fled down the river with the disguise
of a shorn beard. Anderson, the part
iifr who iria.'e ? miraculous escape
after a fight with Elfors, did cot attend
the execution. Anderson is working
In a wo<d camp near Dawson.
Elfors' last inquiry before leaving
Ids coll on the march to the scaffold
was in regard to Anderson, de wan ed
to know if he hao coiuc b. ck to see
him. The answer was no. Elfors
wanted to know about the share of the
camp outfit he left Anderson. The
sheriff's ao9we;' was that Anderson
wi uld not accept the gords, but would
t.ike the returns from the sale of the
same. E'fors left a souvenir or two for
the priest, and bis wntch for the police.
He was 00 years'of age a native of Fin
land, and said he had a sister some
where in Finland anil a brother in San
Francisco. He did not attempt to com
municate with them.
