tor. Yesterday morning he was attired with
even more than his accustomed precision. He
visited the office Of Mr.. Bradley, one Of his
counsel, at an early hour Of the forenoon. Mr..
Bradley said to him, 81 think the jury win
come in with verdict to-day" when DR.. G.
Immediately responded, Il am glad Of it:
want TO SEQ il over" Butt said Mr.. B., sit
is more than possible that the verdict may be
against you.n This admonition appeared to
impress him. The Marshal soon after called
to summon them into Court to hear the YER
dict Az soon us DR.. q. had for a moment
scanned the faces Of the jurors, his face was
suffused with indeed too deep a red, which did
not recede until the verdict was pronounced,
when an ashy palIor came over his features.
Mr., Bradley having previously given notice
to the Court Of his intention to file bill Of ex-
ceptions, and ascertained that the removal Of
the prisoner to the Penitentiary would DO de-
ferred for a few days. privately asked DR.. G. if
he wished at that moment to receive his sen
tence or to have it deferred. DR.. G. replied
that he would prefer that it should be post
poned. "But,n said Mr.. b. /" this is to you q
scene Of pain, and would not desire that you
should have to undergo it again. DR.. G ap-
preciated the wisdom Of this counsel, and Az
sented to receiving the sentence at once On
being called upon to stand up for this purpose,
he summoned back bis energy, and stood up
firm and unfnching.
During this time his mouth had become very
dry He slipped little water, and tried the
use Of tobacco, but without exciting tho action
of the glands. In few minutes, however, he
departed for the Jail, in company with Mr..
Chaplin, and on the way appeared to regain
his wonted energy. Mr. Chaplin said to him,
at pains Inc, Doctor, to have to perform this
duty" when he replied with his accustomed
gentleness Of manner, that he understood the
force Of Mr.. Chapin's official obligations and
of his kindliness Of feeling
On arriving at the jail, he took a seat and
asked for q little brandy; but before it could
be procured he grew pale and tainted. There
were this time no conyulsiye indications. In
falling from his seat, his head struck a desk,
from which injury he bled freely. On recov-
ering, no declined taking the brandy.
His brother, who had now arrived at the
Jail, received from him the contents Of his
pockets, and couple of letters he had written
after he had arrived at the Jail. His brother
did not as has been stated, say that DIR. G.
had been subject to epilepsy, bat that, ever
since receiving an injury by fall in the mine
at which he had been engaged, he had been
subject to severe attacks Of nervous headache
Soon, however, relapse came on, and the most
intense nervous excitability was manifested
which soon resolved itself into convulsons.
When DR.. Hall arrived, something was said Of
oupping, and, though suffering Intensely he
said, No. no: cold to my head-warm to my
feet" "That," said DR.. H., liz what have
Just ordered He evinced an interest in the
use Of remedies to restore or relieve him as
long as he was conscious But he did not
again rally.
The writer has on many occasions conversed
with Dr. Gardiner, and he has seen but few
men in his life possessed of superior qualities
to be happy and prosperous in life, and to con-
tribute to the happiness OF others. Prepossess-
ing in appearance, unaffactedly graceful in
manners, almost womanly in his gentleness
and kindness, ever considerable Of the feelings
and comforts of others, and remarkably intell-
gent and sprightly, though never undigni6ed,
in conversation, nothing but confidence in
his integrity could ever be wanting to secure
for him the good feelings and esteem Of such
as were brought into association with him.
Later.-The Coroner's Jury stands adjourn
cd until Friday next, to afford time for the
analyxation Of the contents of the stomach of
the deceased The prevailing opinion is that
strychnine was the agent producing death, the
character Of the paroxyms and the cerebral
Indications leading TO this conclusion. But an
opposite opinion is also entertained by many,
who believe that natural causes alone pro-
duced the melancholy result.-REpoRTER ERA
