Execution of Robinson.

This nhuman monster paid the forfeit
of his crimes on the 10th ult. in the yard
of the Jail at New Brunswick. At half
past 9 o'clock he was led forth from the
Jail dressed in a shroud and cap. The
gallows was erected within small inclo-
sure which had been built III front of the
prison. A guard of Military was drawn
up around the enclosure to preserve order
and to keep off the immense crowd of
people, who had assembled in hopes TO
see the execution.
The culprit mounted the platform with
firm step and till the fatal moose was
adjusted, manifested the same stoical
indifference which characterised him
throughout since his arrest.
At given signal the drop fell, and,
owing TO some incxplicablc carelessncss
in adjusting the moose, the rope slipped
over the head of the wretched victim of
the law, and he fell to the ground. dis
lance of some four feet, apparently I'M
hurt. He was raised up by the sherf's
officers, and as he rested upon his knees
he exclaimed, "Oh Lord, have mercy"
The moose was re-a,Justed, and with
fatal acc,.7a: All things being prepa-

over. The soul of Peter Robinson was

about half an hour, was taken into the
prison, and the gates of the Enclosure
were thrown open for the admission Of
the spectators. who after satisfying their
curiosity and proclamation being made
by the Mayor, that nothing more was to
be seen, the crowd of people dispersed,
and all was again quiet.

nation of Ennis statements. that yester-

of LEANS house besmeared with blood.
From all that we can gather, it does not
appear that the scheme had been lony
concocied, or that they had very well
matured their plan corporations.
We subjoin such description of the
murderers as we are in possession of, and
trust it may be sufficient, if they have not
already been apprehended, TO lead to their
detection.
MADISON is slave belonging to Samuel
u. Blanchard of New Orleans-has been
mere some time running at large, and if
we are correctly informed, was sent here
to avoid prosecution in New Orleans.
lie is stout copper colored man, near 6
ieet nigh, about 80 years old, very bold
and lmpudent III his manner. We under
stand that short time since, he took n
trip, on his own hook, to Galena and
Chicago, and lately returned to this city,
1t is believed he left here on the Wednes4
day following the murder, on board the
Missouri, for New Orleans.
BRowN is dark mulatto, about feet,
10 inches,high, about thirty years of age,
and it is said resided in Cincinnati. He
seems to have been here a very short
time. lie was seen on board the Goddess
OF Liberty, bound for Cincinnati.
JAMES SEWARD alias SEwELL. is dark
mulatto, about 5 feet inches high. stout
made, and bold, cunning and very we'll
educated negro. 1t is said he reads and
writes very well is originally from New
y ork, has resided at New Albany, was
last summer on board the steamboat Ar
mes, and during Madison's soiourn at
Chicago was with him there. lie is sup
posed to have left on board the steamboat
ATLANTA, for the Ohio river.
WARRIcK was barber, and has kep,
a shop for some time past in this city, on
Franklin Avenue. He is very dark
mulatto, slender made, about feet 0 or
10 inches high, aged about 26, and re-
markable for bold, impudent and haugh-
ty manner. 1t is believed that he left on
the Omego, bound up the Missouri river,
and that his purpose was TO join the COM
pany going to the Rocky Mountains.
Officers have been despatched in all the
directions named, and it is reasonable to
presume that they will be apprehended.
Should they unfortunately fail, it is+o be
hoped that all good citizens of every quar-
ter will lend their energies to apprehend
them and bring them to punishment.
Ennis, the witness, will remain in custody.
1t would be inyidious in us to bestow
praise on any of the officers who have
been engaged in this affair. The two
Constables of Alton, the Mayor and city
police, the city constables and several
citizens have spared no pains, trouble or
expense to ferret out the guilty, and we
trust that they will, in addition to the
reward offered, have that higher reward
the pleasure of seeing the insuled majesty
of the law, fully atoned for.
