remarked that they were never before, in affitheir
inrush • wretched piano, used as a human habitation, as
theoellar in which the deceased had resided. It was a
place not fit for a pig to have been in. There was not
a window in it, nor any furniture, and so dark was it that
they bad had to get a candle to see their way. The
coroner said it was • place they might have broken their
necks in getting into. One of the jury remarked that
there was a great deal said of what the health officers
were doing, bet they eould not be doing so very much
when they allowed such a place as the cellar in question
to be used asa habitation. It was dated by &juror that
one of their number had been taken sick in the cellar
and had to be taken out. The coroner remarked that
bad as the cellar undoubtedly was, he was sorry to say
there were eves worse places to be found in Liverpool.

Adzerodt, the miserable, loathsome German, was
visited in his last hours by his mistress—a ooarse-looking,
ignorant woman, yet still possessed of sympathy sufficient
to lead her to weep over the fate of her quondam
companion.
As for Powell, he neither shook the hand nor heard
the solos of a friend.
Mrs. Surratt was attended in her last momenta by the
Rev. J. A. Walters and Rev. B. F. Wigett, Roman
Catholic clergymen of Washington; and to them her
confession wan made. if confession she had to make.
Powell was attended by two Baptist ministers, Rev. Dr.
Gillette and Rev. Dr. Striker. Harold was engaged all
night with his pistor, Rev. Dr. Olds, an Episcopalian
clergyman. Adzerodt conversed freely with a Lutheran
minister, Rev. Dr. Butler.
At an early hoar in the morning an attempt was made
to obtain possession of the person of Mrs. Surratt upon
a writ of habeas corpus, immed by Judge Wylie upon
the representations of the ciourisel for that woman, but
the President had snecially suspended the writ.
The prison, in the wart-yard of which the four eon-
temned persons were hanged, WAS surrounded by two
eavy lines of soldiers. Upon the walla of the prison,
Sithin this cordon, an additional force was mounted,
ii,ud immediately within the walls still another strong
geerd was stationed. The scaffold was eomposed of a
bdrisontal beam 20 feet in length, supported by three
pimps. From the beam four ropes dangled. A plat-
form was erected under this beam, 12 feet from the
ground, with the customary drop. The drop was
reached by means of a rudely-constructed stair. The
scaffold was enclosed on three sides by soldiers drawn
up in line. Within the square thus formed by the
troops and the inner wall of the penitentiary, the
person having earge of the execution, reporters for the
press, artiste, and certain mivileged people were
stationed. Thirty-six correspondents were present;
with them a photographer, and six "artists" or sketch-
makers. At a few moments before two o'clock the
door in the penitentiary wall swung back, and the
mournful procession entered. Find same Mrs. Surratt,
,flanked on each side by a ghostly father, and followed
by four soldiers with muskets at "right shoulder shift."
Then came Adzerodt, still in his shackles, on each side
of him an officer, and behind him a clergyman and four
armed moldier& Harold came next, with his spiritual
adviser at his side, and four soldiers following him.
Powell and his clergyman, with the same number of
soldiers, brought np the rear. The whole procession
mounted to the scaffold. The condemned were seated
in chairs, and the findings and sentence of the
court-martial were read to them by General Hartraupt,
over whose head a watchful aide held an umbrella, as •
protection against the scorching rays of the sun.
After the reading, the clerical attendants of Powell,
Harold, and Adserodt, thanked General Hartraupt and
other officers for kindnesses shown to the prisoners.
Mrs. Surratt's spiritual advisers maintained silence.
Mrs. Surratt moaned occasionally, but checked out-
ward signs of emotion whenever the crucifix was placed
before her. She was veiled, but the brilliant rays of
the sun enabled the spectator ts define the contour and
detest the pallor of her face, and to catch the tremors
of her lips. Harold wept silently and incessantly ;
Adterodt groaned and whined as continually. Powell
alone remained unmoved and undaunted. Mrs. Surratt
was dressed in • dark woollen robe, wore a veil, and
upon her feet were shoes of listing. Powell wore
close.fitting knit shirt, as upon the trial, a
lor's hat, dark pantaloons and stockings, brit
Mmes. Harold was attired In a dirty felt hat,
xi black met, light pantaloons and stockings.
