his Beauchamp,o
The sentence of the law was executed upon him at the
fork of the Lexington and Woodford roads, in the edge of
Frankfort., at half-pascone o'clock yesterday. •
An idea bad gone abroad that he would address the
people 'at, the gallows;- but he 'made no attempt of the
kind. He was evidently too feeble—probably rendered, so
by his attempt*. to commit suicide, by taking laudanum,
and by stabbing himself.
Soon after arriving at the place of execution, he ob-
served that he wished to die; and requested the music
which belonged to two independent companies, which
bad been called out to preserve order, should play " Buona-
parte's Retreat from Moscow," whiCh, having heirc4 he de-
sired the offl cern to perform the executi on,' and took his death
with great fortitude. •
DEATH OF MRS .0 . s.t.tictustP.7--During the . trial of
Beau Chimp; his Wife was brought to this. town, charged
with being accessary to his crime, and: committed' to pri-
son with him. She, was examined and' acquitted ; but, at
her own solicitation and his, was permitted to return to
his cell, where she remained until the day of his execu-
tion. They both constantly held out the idea that they
would die 'together ; and on Wednesday last, apprehen.:
sions that they would make attempts upon their oivn
lives' began to he seriously entertained, and a guard was
placed in the room with them, to prevent any improper
conduct. They were,' however, in- possession of a bottle
of laudanum, and, on Thursday night, took such a late
doser—so large, that it operated as an emetic, and failed to
produce the effect which they expected.
In the course of the forenoon. yesterday, they told the
guards that, as his last-hour was approaching, they wished
crimes(
.r
a few moments' private conversation, and begged the
guard to retire. The requestleemed reasonable, and the
guards retired. Therpresently heard some noise, and,
returning, found that Mrs. 'Beauchamp had been stabbed
in the left breast, with a butcher's knife ;''and Beauchanip
'had inflicted' some wounds upon himself, not, however,
either mortal or 'dangerous. Mrs. - Beituehanip's. wound
was mortal; she lived but.an hour or two. So perished
Ann DeauchaMp, one of, the most unfortunate of women.
Whether she died ,by her own• hand, or by that of her
husband, we have not'been.able,,to ascertain with certain-
ty. Al is said his account was, that- she herself inflicted
the wound, and that when he attempted to stab himself
she caught his arm, and prevented him from-doing it ef-
47ectually.

Mrs. Beauchamp was removed to a room of the gaol.:
er's house. A reverend gentleman who was present,
speaks of the dying seine as one,of the inost tom*ng he
had ever witnessed. She was anxious to see her husband.
lie was brought in. She had become speechless, per-
ham insensible. He was placed at her side upon the bed.
He placed one hand upon her forehead--with the ether
held her pulse until she expired. Then. "Farewell," said
he, "farewell, child of sorrow !—Farewell, child of per-
sedition and misfortune !—Vor thee I have lived, for thee
I die!'" Twice he embraced her, and was then removed.
