EXECUTION OF FRANZ

ns ass , aged 34, • native of &the Weinter,wbo swa :
Thisirovola.7) morning. shortly after eight o'clock,
Fra
meetly coavided at the Central Criminal Court for
the murder of Hz Erigp in • carriage on the North
London Basra, on the 9th Jaly, underwent the
esthetes penalty of the law in the presence of • vast
number of 1141!taton.
The nafithrng exertions of the members of the
()wroth Legal Protection Society to obt.in • respite by
the prayer of a memorial for their wretched countryman,
have proved of no avaiL Indeed, the evidence again.t
the culprit was no fearfully aomplate that not a link in
the chain of guilt was found waning; sad ever sine,
his condemnation circumstances have arisen which tend
strongly to corroborate the ;tattoo of the verdict. Tbe
Edmonton story was on Thursday
completely and
satisfactorily cleared up ; and the feat statement made
by Muller respecting the hat he wore on the evening
of the 9th July, via., that he recollected purchasing it
at the shop of Mr. Divines far 14a 6d., is also refuted
by the testimony of Yr. Nunes, who positively mnert
that daring
the number of plan he ho bees in businees
be
request of the German Society, allowed his abopman hi
have a interview with Mailer in Newg•te, but the
wthtched man failed even to receitninf him' Thus two
of the principal grounds on which the German •zeciety
twsywi or a respite have proved to base no foundation

Diiog Friday, Eletorday, sad Sundae a lugs number
of lebnerers were employed in ervetleg substantial
barriers in front of Ample and the ionnoliate ap-
proach thereto within sight of the maffold. The principal
thoroughfares in the city, as Eloodsy eNnitig, poneoted
a very unuseal appearance, being thronged with the
uncombed and unwashed front every part of the metro-
polis. These took tip their po-itson, indulging in
blasphemy and every species of ruffaaism until distarbed

damp pus but fine), and night's dark mantle was super-
aided by the grey dawn of day, the crowd became con.
°Nitrated ; females of leader age, and even mothers with
chil4ren's-811@d the reckless throng. There was the usual
sprinkling of street prmabers, who leboured hard to get
a fe* bearers out of the benighted byttanders, but in
many semi their labours were in vain—becoming
victims to scoffs, sem; sad sercesins.
On Saturday afternooti Mr. Word. Alderman Wilma
sad Kr. lona' (governor of the gaol), bad an interview
with the condemned man. Mr. Jones detailed to him
the result of the memorial Keller said, "I did not
upon anything else.* In miniver to Kr. Beard_ ,he mid
be knew efforts were being made to save kis life. Mr.
Beard continued, "Now, 'fuller, all has been done that
can be dais to spare your life, and there is no hope for
you in this world. If you have anything to acknow•
ledge I hope you will do en." Huller mid, in reply, "I
should be a very bad man if I bad done it." The
wretched man said h. bad made his peace
with God, and sesseed resigned to his fate. On
leaving, Kr. Beard shook bands with the culprit and
said 'Good by., Huller, God bless you r When loft
alone he wept bitteny for some time, and then com-
menced writing: He peeved a restless night and roes
early on Sunday morning. He ettended dirk's service
Nettie; and toward. evening he appeared as oda and
uncioncerned as ever. He arms at Owe this morning in
