EXECUTION OF WYATT

Wyatt was executed by the Sheriff in
the presence of the Judges, Surrogate,
Clerk, Dist. Attorney and IL other persons
one of whom was our informant
AT ID past p. NJ, they proceeded to
the place of execution in the Jail, and
near Wyatt's cell. Wyatt tainted, bu,
soon recovered, and was then led to a
chair under the halter and seated. He
again swooned. Atl-4 before 3 O'Clock
the Sheriff adjusted the rope, when Wy.
att said
Mr. Sheriff, want to say few words
before die. have seen much, and have
experienced much in this world, but it
will soon be over. respect you and
respect your family. hope the com.
munity will not blame my counsel. They
have done all they could for me, and I
hope you will not censure them.
When Judge Sisson said a clergyman
told him about the Vicksbnrg affair, said
then as say now, n minister of the gos-
pei can tell what is not true. never xii.
led a man in Ohio, and Inow say it an the
word of dying man. have lived like
man, and l shall die like a man.
hope all present, and the community,
wall have compassion and forget me, but
7 I am not afraid to die.
wish you would place the rope so that
it will not give me pain. 1t is not calcula-
ted 10 benefit man to go to State Prison
and be treated as have been.
Good bye Mr.. Sheriff. Good bye, Mr..
Hodping. Fare you all well.
Al precisely three o'clock the drop fell
and Wyatt the murderer went into eter-
nifty without struggle.
