the scaffold, the same calmneSs, while his com

had entered an appeal it was with view to
have few days more at his disposal to settle
his affairs rather than from hope of escaping.
He wrote to his family two or three days after
his condemnation, and while the appeal was
still pending, but he wrote with conviction of
man whose account with this world was closed.
He asked that his remains should be inferred in

complied with. He left will, but in it there
