dznoR drawn toward that strange, unfor-
Z , tunate Mrs. Robinson, now uuder con-
domination Of death in the Troy IN. "
Jail. The idea of hanging a woman is
nH~speakably revolving, and we hope it
never will be done Strenuous efforts
, are being made to procure from the Ex-
ecutive of New York a nieation
of the dreadful sentence. In speaking
of Mrs Robinson, the Troy Wing
says:
7.s q We express the sentiment of three
. sfourths of our community when we say
that, righteous as may have been the
80 verdict of that jury, this Mrs, Robinson
should merer be hanged; not that a wo-
mar should not suffer death for the de-
liberate murder, but because Mrs. Rob-
dnson is now, and for mouths has been,
