Execution of Perry.

On Friday last, Parker Perry, convicted of
the murder Of his wife, was executed near this
city. We learn that, short time previous to
his execution, he made confession Of his
guilt duplicating the old negro Ransom (who
is dead) in the murder.
The prisoner walked to the place Of execu,
ton, being attended BY Mr.. Crowder, (colpor.
teur,) and Rev. Mr.. Culbreth. We learn that
he said nothing on the gallows, bnt when told
by the sheriff that he was at liberty to speak,
he asked Mr.. Crowder and Mr.. Culbreth to
pray for him, and was engaged in prayer up to
the last moment. His body, after hanging the
usual time, was taken down, delivered to some
of his relatives, and carried into the country to
be buried.
The crowd present at the execution was
very large, probably four or FIVE thousand. At
an early hour the streets and grounds near the
jail were crowded with people Of all sexes, ages
and conditions and the anxiety to see the
prisoner, and to be "in at the death" appeared
to be intense. We very much doubt the policy
ofpublc executions. The hearts of the multi
tude are rather hardened than softened or bet.
tered by the spectacle. The murder, the man
ner of its commission, the bearing of the
prisoner, his silence or confessions, the break
ing of the neck, the death-struggle-al these
things absorb their attention; and the example
which the law seeks to hold up before all is in q
great degree forgotten in the excitement and
dissipation incident TO the occasion. Execu.
tons, within the walls Of the prison, in the
presence Of few persons summoned to attend
by the sheriff, would probably have better
effect on the public mind.
Mr.. Sheriff High and his deputies went
through the performance of their unpleasant
duties on the occasion with becoming pro,
priety and 6rmness,- Raleigh Standard,
