Be careful and don't wait a day if you or any of your family are in need of a truss or supporter, delay is dangerous in these cases and very often proves fatal. Many people thus afflicted do not know or realize the danger, hence a simple warning be sufficient. Saur makes a specialty of keeping a good variety of the very best truss and supporters made, constantly on hand, so that patients may select that which will answer their purpose best. All persons cannot use the same instrument, consequently it is necessary to have a variety to select from. Every one can have tbem adjusted free of charge or put them on themselves, which will enable them to get that which suits the best before paying a cent.

WESLEY JOHNSON, THE CONVICTED MURDERER OF THE WILLIAMS FAM1LV, To Take Hi Depart are from Henr BV THE ROPE HALTER ROUTE TlmrHdi 29 The Sentence of the Judge.

History of the First Hanging in Henry County. A it had become generally known that Wesley Johnson would receive his sen tence st 9 o'clock on Saturday morning last, long before that hour the court room was thronged and hundreds were unable to get in. Judge Moore promptly opened Court snd the prisoner was brought in by Sher iff Aller and Deputy Barnes. Johnson looked slightly pale, ss though be might be little nervous, but bis indifferent snd unconcerned appearance arid way still clang to him snd probably will until the halter is placed around his neck. Johnson's attorneys moved for new trial, which motion was promptly overruled by the Judge, who remarked that he had no reason to change his mind upon sny of bis rulings In the case.

The Judge was visably affected, which is little more than can be said for the wretched prisoner. The accused was com manded to stand up. When asked if be had anything to say why sentence should not be pronounced, be replied, "Well, no; I don't know as I have anything in particular to say," in bold clear tone of voice, which could be heard over the room. The Court then pronounced the death sentence on Johnson, speaking as foU lows: Wasley Johnson, the Grand Jury of this county at the October term, 1883, of the Csurt of Common Pleas, found an Indict ment against you tor murder in the first degree. To this charge you entered a plea of not guilty and were placed upon trial.

Unable yourself to procure counsel, the State in its humanity required counsel to be appointed by the court. Gentlemen of acknowledged legal ability and of your own selection were appointed, who with consideration and care conducted your defense. Everything that human agency could do was done for you. A jury care fully selected, and almost of your own choice were yonr triers. You had in my judgment a fair trial.

The jury, found you guilty as chsrged in the indictment. With that finding I am satisfied. It accords with the evidence and the law. A young husband and wife, happy in their humble home, and proud no doubt of their first-born babe, had spent the evening ot that fatal day in the society of each other. At early bed-time the wife prepared lor retirement, and the husband be lore doing bo went to his barn to look after the safety of his team.

Little did George Williams dream the fate that awaited him, or that he beheld tor the last time a loved wife and babe. Little did that wife contemplate other than a safe return in a few brief minutes, of the husband of her choice. It was an opportune moment lor you. With cruelty one blow of the murderous axe terminated the existence of George Will iams. Not satisfied with that, the bouse was sought and there a feeble, helpless woman appealed to you for mercy.

The cruel heart of the savage would have yielded to the piteous wail of that infant babe and spared the mother for its sake No mercy was in your heart, but the axe wet and warm with the blood of th husband wielded by your arm went crashing through the brain of Isabella E. Williams, and your purpose was accomplished. The annals of crime scarcely furnish a deed so brutal and cruel. Judicial investigations furnish but few precedents of a crime so enormous. I have no desire to harrow up your feelings upon an occasion like this, but to make such statement as may Impress you that there is but little hope for you to expect executive clemency, or that mercy in this world, of which you have shown so little.

The law has fixed the measure ot your punishment, and I can only pronounce its sentence, which is that you be taken from hence to the jail of the county, and there safely kept. That on Thursday, the 29th day ot May, A. D. 1884, at the place prepared for your execution, and between the hours ot 10 o'clock in the forenoon, and 2 o'clock in the afternoon of that day, that you be hung by the neck until you are dead. While Judge Moore was delivering his remarks and sentence Johnson looked him square in the face, paying marked attention to what was said, but in an unaffected way, remaining as a statue.

Some say there was a tear or two in his eyes at the conclusion, but when the accused took his seat he was as cool and deliberate as ever, and conversed freely and smilingly with reporters and others. The sentence pronounced upon Johnson is the first death sentence pronounced by Judge Moore, and should Johnson hang, of which there is no doubt, he will be the second criminal executed in the history ot Henry county, the first instance being that of Cowell, who was hung some twenty years ago, for the murder or a companion while they together were tramping through Henry county. Judge Moore's conduct during the trial has been that of a consistent Judge, and he won the respect of all parties in his ef forts to give the accused a fair and im partial trial. Believing a history of the first hanging in the county to be of interest to our read' ers, at this time especially, we reproduce the following from the issue orthe North west of Aug. 17th, 1865.

Hon. J. Haag was at that time editor of the paper, who it seercs defended the accused: "John Cowell, convicted of the murder of William W. Tread well, was executed at this place on Friday last tne inn inst. Not wishing to influence through a pub lic, in one way or the other, the trial of this man In whose defense ws were, as so attorney.

Interested, ws have heretofore said very little about the rarord of crime vbich the trial developed, and lor the closing scenes of which Henry county was unfortunately selected. WILLIAM W. TRBADWKLU the murdered man, was aresidentot Hudson, where he had been eniraaed in the budneas nt banking. In order to public confidence to the institution, lis lather, a man of wealth and enamcter. gave his aon the uhs of bin name.

The young man soon acquired the reputation ot a sate, honost and upright business man, snd the community in which he resided selected his bank as their depository. The man nt weal'h, the small business man, the poor war widow with her scanty means which she wiabed to guard carefully, selected Tredwell to take care of their treasure. With the confidence which be had established among his fellow bank-era, he was enabled to draw upon tbem, in the aggregate, for a very large sum. After having accomplished this, he closed his bank and ran away with the funds, swindling the community, bankrupting bia father, and making paupers of the widow and orphan. A heartless snd unfeeling wretch, he richly deserved the dog's death that he died, and for him the only regret is Hint Cowell waa not his authorized executioner.

johs rowELb, the murderer, was a young man of about twenty two years ol age, of medium size, light build, and of rather bovish appear ance. He was born and raised in Erie county, in this State, where his father now resides. His education wss very limited, snd be seemed to have a very indefinite idea of either moral or religious ob ligations. He had been arrested tor horse SLtntuiiK in nil i iiau uwii in found guilty, and waa in the jail at Adrian awaiting sentence, where Ti-eadwell was also confined awaiting his sentence for swindling. On the 1st or July, 1864, the two together escaped from the jail and traveled together into this county, where, on the 4th of the same month, Cowell to possess himself or about nine hundred dollars which Treadwell had with him, took bis life, relieved society of a deep-dyed and heartless villain andcommittted the crime which cost his own life.

The evidence wss sll circumstantial, and in our opinion, hardly justified the verdict oi guilty; out mac uivioitr wmcn snapes our ends directed the minds of the jury srigbt. lie was one or the Btrangest char acters we ever met. in the relation we sustained to him as one of his counsel, we were compelled to have frequent Inter views with him, snd never left him with out being strengthened in our conviction of his innocence. THE ARRANGEMENTS. The place selected for the execution was just outside ot the jail, where Sheriff Barnes had an inciosure erected twenty- two by thirty-two feet and sixteen feet high, the Jail forming one side or the in ciosure.

The gallows was fn the south west corner of the inciosure, snd was in every respect perfect in construction. THE EXECUTION. About ten o'clock on the morning of the execution we visited the prisoner. He ap peared perfectly easy, and expressed satisfaction at seeing us, talked of the execution and inquired of our health with the coolness ot everyday life. While in the jail, the Sheriff brought iu the clothes in wmcn ne was to De executed, ana told mm it was about time to dress.

He arose from his chair and walked into another cell, remarking to the Sheriff that he was considerably agitated, and said that if the crowd in the main room of the jail was removed he thought that he could dress himself. The crowd then retired, and he proceeded to dress himself. He was then left alone with bis father and the Rev. Father Carroll, his spiritual adviser. At twenty minutes past twelve he was taken to the scaffold by the Sheriff, accompanied by his spiritual adviser.

The warrant tor his evecution was read to him, and the Sheriff then inquired whether he bad anything to say before he proceeded to execute the sentence of the Court. He replied, "No, sir; Iamguiltyl" The Sheriff then asked if be wished to be understood that he was guilty of the crime of which he stood condemned. He replid, "Yes sir; my punisment is just." He then knelt in prayer with bis spiritual adviser. after which the Sheriff proceeded to place the cap over nis neao ana to aaiust tne rope around bis neck. During all these proceedings be was the most collected among those present, and it was only after the sherm and the rtev.

ather Uarroil bid him farewell that he showed the least emotion. At sixteen minutes before one o'clock the trap was sprung, and John Cowell was launched into eternity. In eleven minutes after the trap fell he was pronounced dead by the physicians in attendances, and at one o'clock he was cut down, placed in a coffin and delivered to his friends. Sheriff Barnes, in the discharge of his painful duty, acquitted himself most creditably. Every arrangement was perfect, and we do not think could have been improved in any respect.

This favorable result was as much a tribute of the universal esteem entertained by our people for Mr. Douahey as it was due to the zealous work ot the ladies in charge and the cheerful nntireing labors of Mr. Geo. Radle. Amidst the ebb and flow of the vast throng all went smoothly and pleasantly.

The young people relegated to the upper apartments and had a delightful time. Theculinary of extensive variety was ample to meet the demands.
