The CLOSE OF A LIFE OF CRIME.-The Mobile
Tribune publishes the following particulars
touching the last end of James Copeland, one Of
the notorious "Wages Clan" which for a long
time infested the borper counties Of Alabama and
Mississippi. Copeland was hanged at Augusta,
Perry county, Miss, on the Both ult., for the
murder Of James Harvey, some ten years ago:-
"Since his condemnation he dictated TO the
sheriff of Perry county brief history Of his ig-
noble career. He remained perfectly hardened
to the last moment. While riding to the gall
lows, he talked freely with the crowd, numbering
some two thousand persons, and expressed his
qualification on being so numerously attended by
his fellow citizens, and playfully remarked that
he would return to them in few days. Before
the expiation of his crime, he bequeathed his
body to medical gentleman, but in his last mo.
ments recalled the bequest. He assisted the
sheriff to adjust the moose which was to deprive
him Of his life, and then recklessly proposed that
he be allowed to leap from the top Of the gallows.
The deceased was 81 years Of age, and had pass
ed IL years This existence in prison"
