who was hung in Nea ork last Friday, was attended
by his spiritual advisers till the moment Of his death -

contemplated suicide for time. Stephens proessed
his innocence to the last He made the following peech

acitatad tone addressed the condemned follows:
Mr. Knapp Stephens, fcr Gods sake if You have one
word 10 say SAY now. For your salvation, say it.
Stepheus-"l am innocent, Bedeemer save me.'
Stephens then turned to the sheriff and aid in a low
voice " Be quick :" " Be quick
The sheriff then gave the signal and Stephens was in a

some misunderstanding the German who was employed
