THg END OF MURDERER.-On Friday
last, a man named BENZ. Jennings, at ST.
Josephs, Missouri, met an end on the gal
lows, which he has richly merited as bloody
and tiendish crime could well ct miscre-
ant for. He and some others, in the latter
part of uy, 1852, murdered E. II. Will
lard, ,..of that town. in most attrocious man
ner. Willard was commission merchant,
and probably did not deal fairly with some
I of the citizens. The murderers charged
him with swindling them among others, and
; as they heard that Willard was about leav-
ling the town, a delegation was posted a.
round his house to watch his movements
A fter prowling about during the entire night,
and meeting with no opportunity to accom-
( pish their neffri0us designs, they seized
/ upon him in the morning, and in the broad
blaze OF day marched him out of one Of the
/ principal streets to brush on the north
side of the town, and, as savages only do,
1 tied him fast 10 tree. and literally whip
ped him to death. Within a half mile oi
the Court House of the city of ST. Joseph
an American citizen was strung up, and un-
der MONDAY sun, for The space of three
long hours, scourged until death came tc
his relief
The corpse was a most heart-rending spec
tacle, being cut into minced meat, from tht
soul of the foot to the crown of the head
and the scul fractured.
As soon as it was known by the citizen
that this horrible deed had been committed
/ four individuals we're arrested, the culpri
Jennings being among the number. HI
was found guilty, and sentenced to b.
hung, which sentence has been sutained by
the Supreme Court of the State. He is 1
young man of exec lent family and rathe
prepossessing appearance. His parents
live in Ohio. He leaves young and beau
tiful wife and one Cincinnati En-
| 0uirer.
