THE EXECUTION.

After rising from his knees, he bid
his friends farewell, stepped upon the
fatal drop, and stood without moving
muscle while the sheriff was engaged
in putting on the black cap and arrang-
ing the rope. These preliminaries set
tied, the sheriff placed white hand
kerchief in Harden's right hand, which
he was to let fall when ready. The
sheriff took his position, with his eyes
fixed upon the groud, as if he expect
ed to see the handkerchief Issue from
the earth instead of from the hand of
the condemned man. He was not kept
long waiting The signal was given,
the string cut which let down the trap.
a screaching noise was heard from the
hinge, and Jacob s. Harden was
launched into eternity.
The unfortunate man struggled yio-
lently for about five minutes, drawing
his limbs up to his body, &c. It was
exactly thirty one minutes past ore
when the sheriff cut the rope which
secured the drop. The following fig
ures will show at what rate his life
ebbed. ;
