the steps Of the scafold will, tirmness Addressing
the multitude, he said in an audible voice, that he
perceived great many people present, who hau
come. as he supposed, to witness his execution
and he hoped that it would lead them to reflect
upon the effects of sin and lust, and induce them
to avoid those acts for which he was about to suffer
painful and ienominious death. he hoped that
they might go away with hearts impressed WIN
contrition as his was. Then, holding pamphlet
in his hand he said q This contains afullconfes-
sim OF the great transaction for which am about
to die, and every word that it contains to the best
Of my knowledge and belief, is true il there is
single word in it that is not true, it has been in

pamphlet to the Rev. Mr.. Lacey.
'Fhe prayers prescribed by the episcopal church

final leave Of him, and was evidently much Affected
yhe Rev. MIR. Lacey addressed him briefly, and
also parted with him as did also MIR. Becker, the
gaoler. During the awful interval between as
cending the scaliold and his death, he was compo

two o'clock, he gave the signal, drew his cap over
his face, the drop fell, and after struggling for
few minutes, the wretched man expired. He re-
manned suspended for about half an hour; when
his body was taken down and delivered to his
friends for interment In the mean time, the crowd
gradually dispersed, peaceably, and as far as We
have learned, without accident Of any sort The
efficient precautionary measures taken by the she
tiff and the civil authorities, were calculated to
prevent or repress any tumult, though there was
not, that we observed, the slightest tendency to-
wards one
Thus persisted the murderer. 1t was the Just
forfeit Of life for lite and so atrocious was the
case that there were few to regret his fate none
that We know Of, to deny the righteousness Of the
law Whilst We may question the utility of such
spectacles tending as they do in general, to sratf,
a morbid curiosity, and TO excite sympathy for
the criminal rather than an adherence, and con-
,equently prevention, Of crime, we trust none
who the witnesses of this scene, will forget
that This ignominious death was the consequence
pf an indulgence in vicious courses and criminal
passions.
