All the preparations for the execution of this wretched
man were completed on Saturday night. During 1
the week the prisoner has evinced the same re-,1
signation of demeanour that has characterised him
almost from the first moment of his being taken into cus-
tody, and he has evidently never felt that there was the,
slightest chance of his escaping from the punishment
that now awaits him ; indeed, the only circumstance that
appears to create any uneasiness in his mind is the long
period that has elapsed since the conviction and sentence,
and he has repeatedly expressed a wish that it had all
been over before this. The culprit, while admitting the
justice of his sentence, continues to assert in the most
earnest and solemn manner that he had not the slightest
idea that the injuries he inflicted upon the unfortunate
- _----- - deceased Richard Cope were likely to end fatally,d
