''He remained hanging from twenty to thir-
ty minutes, and during that time the chamb-
ers of death were never stiller than the null
titude by whom he was surrounded. Orders
we're given to cut the rope and take him down
without letting him fall. This was done, and
his body carefully laid on the ground.
'Shortly after the guard was withdrawn,

had ever done that of any human being be-
fore. His head was very much on one side,
in consequence of the manner in which the
halter had drawn upon his neck. His face
appeared to be greatly swollen and very
black, resembling a high degree of mortifca-

behold
''There were, at this time, standing at the
foot of the coffin, two young men ofuncommon
short stature. They were not more than four
feet high. Their dress was extremely gaudy.
One of them had the clothes just taken
from Andre hanging on his arm. I took par
ticular pains to learn who they were, and
was informed that they were his servants,
sent up from New York to take care of his
clothes-but what other bsuiness did not

toner, who was still standing by one of the
posts of the gallows. l walked near enough
to him to have laid my hand upon his should

appeared to be about twenty-five years of
age; his beard of some two weeks growth :;

really strange that they do not frown down
those vices of men which are SO frequently
fatal to their own tranquility. Many fe-
