driven from Kansas for engaging in some disrepu
table acts. On the night of the murder he lost all
nerve after his arrest made a full acknow edgmept
of his participation in the crime; told the name of
his accomplice; and wept like child. During the
trial he kept his head down and seldom raised his
eyes, He was about 26 years of age, five feet
eight inches high, stoutly and roundly built
weighs about l65 pounds, complexion dark, with
dark hair and eyes. His countenance was not
frank, nor had he as manly an appearance

JOHN H. CYPHUs AND HIS ANTECEDENTs.
Cyphus was born in this city, where his mother
still resides He has led dssolute life and had no
regular business. About five years ago, when fol
lowing sailors life, he attempted to kill comrade
in quarrel. He is about five feet eight inches
high, weighs about lao pounds and has bad
preston OF countenance. During his confinement he
appeared cheerful, and always seemed GLAD to see
those who called upon him. He embraced all the
opportunities which were offered to insure his spr-
itual well being
The Republican gives the following:
row of four houses north of the jail wall and near
the scafold, were rented yesterday by parties anx
ious to secure sight of the dreadful tragedy. One
OF them we regret to say, was female, who paid
the sum of SIS for the upper of one house from
which she could clearly observe four men in the
prime of life struggling in deaths agony.
The roof of stable adjoining the houses above
mentioned vas also rented by.a number of persons
whose morbid curiosity would be gratiied-b by the
dying agonies of their fellow creatures
THE POLICE ARRANGEMENTS.
The police arrangements, in the Jail and outside
Ofit, were most ample. The entire police force was
detailed for special duty, and Marshals Herring
and Manly, in full uniform, had the men under
their immediate supervision. Lieutenants Wright
and Carmichael, with forty men, were assigned
duty within the Jail and yard. Captains Woods
and Brashears were stationed outside at the gate
on the west side of the wall, with one hundred men
selected from the four police districts Captain
Mitchell was placed on Eager street, on the north
side OF the wall, with twenty five men of the Mid
die district; and Sergeant Hobbs, with fifteen men,
was on the corner of Eager and North streets;
whilst Sergeant Holbrook, with another detach-
ment of fifteen men, ranged North street, from
Madison to Eager street. Captains Brown and
Manly, with fifty men, were stationed on the Jail
lot, north of the wall, and Captains Morris
and Lynch, with strong force, perform
ed active duty the south side of the
wall on Madison street. Altogether the arrange
ments were excellent the utmost harmony of ac-
ton prevailing between the different divisions.
The disposition of the entire force, and the perfect
order and subOrdnation which prevailed on the oc-
casion, reflects great credit on those having it in
charge.

man who went on occasional frolics, and who asso-
