Quinsez, an Italian, was hung at Yuba City,
Sutter Couaty on Friday, for murder. He
mounted the scaffold unAinchingly, received
absolution from a Catholic priest, put the
rope about his neck himself, asked God to
forgive him, and was hurried into mystic
rious eternity. He died in great apparent
agony, struggling for minutes after the drop
fell. We coincide with the Inquirer in wish
ing speedy adjustment of the custom OF
public executions, believing them to be pro-
