Il Murderer Respited or tie epe Of Erecu
tion.-The Columbus (Ohio) Statesman says
the crowd assembled about the Jail at Co
lumbus on Friday to be near the hanging ot
Myers, was large, and men, women and chill
dren stood around for three hours in driz-
zling rain, waiting for the execution TO come
off The prisoner was TO have been brought
from bis cell at ? o'clock; the rope had been
adjusted upon the scafiold, and the arrange
ments were complete. The sheriff was in the
act of bringing the prisoner out to prepare
him for the drop, when the respite was re-
ceived. The announcement to outsiders was
greeted by no cheers and no murmurs. At
2 O'Clock the secretary of the governor read
the respite to the prisoner, and asked him II
he accepted or rejected it. Myers could not
at once answer such an important question,
but finally concluded that he would reject the
respite, saying that he had received his sem
tence and was ready to be hung. lie evin-
ced no emotion whatever, and appeared to
regard the respite granted him with the same
indifference as he did the sentence of the
court. The question as to whether it was
lawful and proper to repreve condemned
man against his will underwent considerable
discussion on the street yesterday. The
haplain Of the psnitentiary visited Myers cell
several times, but maintained his stoical in
difference throughout.
