Judge Flipn in Full Session.

Judge Finn opened the Criminal Court
yesterday, the county officers assisting In
the ceremony. Quite a number of persons
were present, and much interest was mani
tested in the proceedings-the principal
feature in which was statement from the
Judge. Healluded to the fact ofthe Supreme
Court having adjourned without deciding
the question as to the validity Of the law
which undertook to abolish his Court-to
the degree of Christian patience, almost
unparalleled, with which he awaited the
action of that Court in the premises; but,
as they had failed in passing upon the case
he had presented for their adjudication,
he felt now like pressing the matter, al
though personally not more interested in it
than any individual in the community
lie had heretofore been in The position of a
jackass Jetween toco hay-stacks, unwilling to
lean to one side in assuming duties that
were doubtful, and yet desiring on the 9th
er to do everything imposed on him right
fully. He proposed now to bring up the
question in a shape in which it must be
met without any further dodging--namely,
to try a case, and then the District Court
could issue quo ,Darranto, to know by
what right he sits.
The Judge also alluded to the Arrison
case, which he said was in very deplora-
BILE condition. He could not conceive it
was rightfully before the District Court,
for the reason that although the transcript
was made out while the Criminal Court
was in undoubted existence, it was not
signed by the Clerk of the Criminal
Court-but was afterwards signed by the
Clerk Of the Common Pleas, upon whom
the law conferred no power to interfere
with the records Of the other Court. The
District Court, in tho event Of allowing a
new trial, could not send the case back to
the Common Pleas, because it was not
transferred to that Court, and new in
dictment could not be had because the old
could be pleaded.
The Judge then adjourned the Court. to
the following day.-Cin Com.

EXECUTION OF PARKs.-The Cleveland
Herald of yesterday friday afternoon
gives the details OF The execution of Parks
for the murder Of Beatson. He has been
confined for over two years, and has been
twice tried and convicted. There is no
reasonable doubt Of his guilt. On Thurs
day he attempted to destroy his own life
by cutting his throat. He bled severely,
and was much weakened, but was not
quite thorough enough to extinguish life.
The gallcws upon which he was exc
cuted was erected within the hall of the
Jail. and there were but few persons in
attendance. A large crowd surrounded
the premises. "A military company, the
Grcys, were on guard. No disturbances
were reported. When Parks was brought
from his cell, and placed upon the plat
form, he talked to the persons in atten-
dance upon various matters, for nearly an
hour. He was calm and almost indiffer-
ent to his fate. He expressed much regard
for his wife and child, and, on their ac-
count regi cited his ignominious end. To
save them the disgrace of having husband
and father hung. he had attempted to kill
himself, and thought he had perfect
right SO to do. To the last, he denied that
he killed Beatson. We quote the closing
scene from the Cleveland Herald:
Gas soon as all was ready, he rose
took his position under the rope, and with
perfect GOODNESS said, IL die an innocent
man-innocent Of any murder, premedi
tated, or any at ALL"
He then shook hands with Messrs Span
gler, Fitch, Seward and Bosworth, wished
to see how the Sheriff was to touch the
brace that supported the platform, ant
tskng survey of the arrangements, said
"Are you ready?-I am!'' A white caI
was placed over his head, which reached
to the neck-tho spring was touched, anG
the platform fell.
Thus passed this notable man to an au
dence with q Higher Court. where the ac
tons will Be5udged without possibility o
an error.
The drop was at eight minutes past one
and at twenty-three minutes past bis pulse
had ceased to heat Tho opinion of Drs
Strong and Cleveland, who were in atten
dance. was that his vertebra was not dislo
Gated, but that he died by strangulatior
onlv. -
