About tea rninutas after nine o'clock, the
messenger of the President came to tue JAN
after Marshal Selden, accompanied by TIE
messerr ger of the Attorney General and tue
hack Of the latter. The Marshal went away
with them.
The prosecuting attorney, Mr.. Key, ar
rived AT ten O'clock, and the Marshall re-
turning shortly afterwards, proceeded to the
prisoners cell, in company with seVerai gen.
tlemeu.
When the Marshal returned, he said that
q further effort had been made IN Powers
behalf this morning, that the President hnal-
" and positively refused to Interfere with the
sentence of the law, and hence the execution
was ordered to proceed. The Marshal read
the warrant to the prisoner at ~ O'Clock Ia
the presence Of the mother aud sister OF the
latter the Prosecuting Attorney, MI h'0g'
aud one or TWO other gentlemen.
The prisoner was informed, alter tue read
ing cf the warrant, that the hour liked iOr
the execution would be Il o'clock, to which
he signifed his willing acquiescence, and bis
brother was dispatched for minister, as lev:
Mr.. O'TOole and the other attendants had
left the cell after the performance OF mass IN
the morning. The prisoner retains his com
posture, and is constantly engaged 10 bis ue-
votons aud in cJnsoing his mother and Sls-
tiers.
The minister arrived and proceeded inme-
diately to the cell, 10 few minutes alter
we had closed the foregoing paragraph, ana
the doomed man was about preparing DIM
self to suffer the penalty OF the law. About
half past ten, however, messenger came
post-haste from the Executive, aud, alter
making a hasty communication with Mar
shal Selden, quickly withdrew. Mr.. oeiden
then starte! for the cell Of Powers; but, hay
ing met his younger sister, a girl OF some
twelve years OF age, IN the passage, ne seiIeu
her band, and saying God bless you, child,
YOUR brother will not be hung today, turn
ed ayav to conceal his emotions.
The sister, of course, communicated this
Intelligence to her brother and other relatives,
aud the minister, alter congratulatlng the
unfortunate family, took his leave. The i'm
mort of the messengers communication to
Marshal Seldeu, spread rapidly among those
present, and they gradually took their leave.
At IL o'clock, the hour fixed Tor the execu-
ton an official respite from the President
was received and announced to the prisoner.
This postponed the execution until between
the hours Of 9 and o'clock on Friday, the
26th inst
Nothing of interest transpired outside the
iail yard. There was nothing like the crowd
which had been anticipated; and, indeed,
the gathering was confined to few indlyid-
unls who loitered about the east gate, togeth-
err with twenty-five or thirty who had scaled
a shed in the vicinity.
On the news OF the respite eccomihS gen
eral, there were no demonstrations, either
favorable or otherwise, as the sentiment OF
the crowd seemed to be divided in respect TO
