Warner

Warner was held at the Jeffersonville jail in Indiana and was taken from there to the scaffold on the morning of March 9, 1888, where he was hanged. Accounts say he was calm and collected, examined the trap and handled the rope without fear, and walked up the steps with a firm tread. Before the drop fell he made a short speech, and the Lancaster Daily Intelligencer reported that thousands of people gathered around the jail. Rev. Mr. Roberts and W. H. Sheeter accompanied him to the end.

Cause of death, as reported: Executed by the state

Reported by: witnesses to the hanging at the Jeffersonville jail (witnesses).
