EXECUTION Or AN AMERICAN
NURDERER.

Augustus Johnson, convicted of the murder of
Daniel Alford, a negro ferryman, was banged at
Rome, on the 15th of March. At ten o'clock he
refused to leave the gaol an eel they carried him or
gave him morphine. The physician attending e cm-
promised the case by giving him quinine. They then
bad to bribe him with a drink to get the rope around
his neck. He left the gaol with a cigar in his mouth.
and talked with the sheriff on trivial matters until
they reached the gibbet. Johnson asked him for
something to drink, and the priest gave him a b ttle
of holy water, which he tasted, and then threw it
tinder the gallows, saying that he thought it was gin.
The priests begged him to soy his prayers, but he
refused until they would give him a drink. They finally
consented, and be repeatel the prayers after them.
On being refused more liquor he sent for Jodge
Underwood, and as a last request begged for whisky,
which till judge gave him. Fie then ascended the
scaffold smoking a cizar, and without emotion. After
he reached the scaffold he edted a friend to uncover
his coffin so that be could see what sort they had
brnight for him. Afier seeing it he said, with •
smile, "All right." Johnson to his death seemed
to be thinking solely about bodily comfort., taking
four drinks, three chews of tobacco, and smoked two
&tars from the time he left the gaol. He confessed to
four murders. All the time • e was talking he held a
Catholic craw in his hand When they had tied his
hands he dropped it and asked for it wain. and kept
it until be fell through the trap. When the noose
was adjusted he hiked permission to tie the knot him-
self. He then made the sheriff lengthen tue rope so
that he would drop seven feet instead of fire He was
then not sati-fied until the doctors assured him that it
would break his neck. He said he didn't want to
take any chances of being choked to death. He
begged the sheriff not to pull the black cap over his
head, because he wante i to see what was going on.
Just before the trap fell he acid, " Jenkins. are you
going to do it ?" He said, "All right." and in another
moment the trigger was sprung and he died in about
twelve minutes.

having obtained a piano on thln system and signed the

piano manufacturer took pomesion of the instrument, and
