Execution of McNamee, at Chi :
CGg0,s ~ r.

!, The brutal business Of hanging is always
revolving, but sometimes accidents take
place which beighten the horror even o.
this horrible thing. An irisbman named
McNamee, killed his wife, at Chicago
while in a drunken fit. He was convicted
of murder, and sentenced to be hanged
A day or two since, the sentence was car
ried out Through some awkwardness
the collar (which passes round the victims
neck, and produces dislocation,) was awk-
wardly adjusted, and broke with Me Namee's
weight, who fell fifteen feet upon the stone
floor Of the jail. He was carried back to
the scaffold, before and signs Of life were
observed. He then revived, and TO the
question, could he stand, he replied. Yes,
be could stand that and a great deal more.'' y
A slip-knot was extemporized; the moose
passed over his head, and .he was again
''launched into eternity This time his
neck was not broken, and the poor wretch
dangled fifteen minutes, before his heart
