per-oils took up their position apinst the barriers which
the notate had caused to be raised for the safety of the

It luta already been stated that the prisoner bad all
along denied the jinitice of his sentence, and 116scrted
that it was his mother who led the murders, awl
that he killed her in self-defence, and he persisted in
that statement down to the very last moment of hie
existence. Tee Rev, Mr. Jeaaopp, the chaplain of the
primal, earnestly exhorted him on Monday to tell the
truth, and nut go out of the world with a he in his
mouth, and he replied that ho should be telling • lie if
lie were to admit that he haul committed the crime.
Sdunlay the culprit was visited by bus father and
Ida brother and two sisters, and he 'yoke in very angry
terms to the former, and accused him of behaving ill to
• his mother :and to himself and the n•st of the foully.

Au extraordinary incident may be meta 1111 l ed, allow-
ing that the wretched man had contemplated WI escape
or self-destrootion. On Sunday evening he desired to
go to the closet, but it being dark the warden' would
not let him go without a light. Oue of them left the
cell to fetch one, leaving a warder with hint; this
warder also left the roma to go to entailer cell. when
the prisoner watched them, an 1 knowing the cello
would not open front the inside, he rushed out and
pushed the second warders into a cell; but the door of
sue cell in winch the first warder was slid not catch tile
lock. The prisoner then run down the corridor, fled
down the stairs, but at the bottom he wag eAllitht an the
anus of a third warder, and on his being taken back to
the cll, lie said he only did it for a spree; but in the
interv.ew with his father and brother lie said his
iuteerimi was to have thrown himselt over the staircase,
and destroyed himself.
At 7 o'clock this morning, Mr. Jeasopp, the chaplain,
visited him, and remained with I to the Lat. He
earnestly joined the rev. chaplain in prayer ; and in the
hope at the last moment that aosie cuntess.uu would be
obtained, the rev. gentlesuan sahl to him, " 111° DOI go
