lFrom the London Times, Nov ISL
I Yesterday morning Muller was hung in
front Of Newgate. lie died before such q
coneonrsc as we hope may never be again as
eembled, either for the spectacle which they
| had in view or for the qualification OF such
lnvless ruftianism asycstcrday found its SCOPE
/ around the GalloTs. While lie stood firm On
The sca1iold as the hangman turned The last
bolts beneath his feet, Muller with his Ia t
| words owned hls guilt. Bis quiet and almost
instantaneous death cut short what might
have been full confession, The mere details,
however. matter not; enough, at least, was
disclosed 10 show that the sentence of man
| Kind was right. In the quiet earnest words
wtth which Muller bowed bis head and said,
"1ch hoot es gefhon !" ~ did it!'' aud SO, ia
| speaking, went before his God, he told enough
to viudicate mans Justice.
q great crowd was expected around the
! ga!1ows, and indeed u great crowd came. The
! barriers to check the crowd were begun across
all the streets which lead TO Ncwgate as early
night and on Saturday and Sunday a dismal
crowd Of dirty yasrants kept lowering round
them. These groups, however, were not com.
posed OF the real regular hnbitucs Of the gal-
! loTs, but. Of mere young beginners, whose
| immature tastes were satisfied with cat-calls
| In the dark, fondling the barriers, or ut most
] hurried, scrambling throw Of dirt at The
police When they dispersed them. It WIS diff
ferent, however, on Sunday night, During
! the early part Of the evening there was
{ crowd Us much Of loungers as of drunken
/, men, which stood the niserable drizzle With
tolerable patience, while the public houses
; were open and fared brightly through the
mist, But at II o'clock voluntary wedding
Of the thruug commenced. The greater part
; Of The rongh mass moved of, leaving the
regular execution crowd to take their carly
places. These we1c soon occupied.
APPEARANCE OF TEE cRowD.
For little time there seemed something
in the throng, till the dirty chaos settled
itself down ct last, and while noisy groups
went Whooping and wIangllng away, d thick,
dark, noisy fringe Of men and women settled
like BEES around the nearest barriers, and
gradually obliterated their close white lines
from view. 1t WAS clear, bright moonlight
night. Yet, though all could see, and well be
seen, it was impossible to tell the staple Of
the crowd that gathered to their sisht 80
carly. There were well dressed aud i'll dress
ed, old men and lads, women and girls.
Many had jars Of beer, at least half were
stant, though not more constant than the
cries and laughter, as all who lit them sent
them whltliDg and blazing over their heads into
the thicker crowd beyond. Occasionally as
the rain, which fell heavy at intervals, came
down very fast there was-a thinning Of the
fringe about the beams, but, on the whole,
they stood 1t out very steadily, and formed q
thick, dark ridge round the inclusurc kent be-
fore the debtors door, where Muller was to
die. This WAS at one o'clock when the moon
was bright, and the night very CLEAR indeed,
and everything could bc seen distinctly. New
gate was black enough in its blind massive
ness, except Mt one little point high over the |
wills, where one window in the new wing
showed little CLEAN of light, to which it
seemed aae eEowd was ns1er tred Of pointing
cd cell. Truly enough, it had been known |
outeide where he was kept, aud this misera.
BILE flicker In the blank outline Of the great
goal, which only marked one wide divis-
imprisoned, became the center of all
eyes, or at least Of rery many. That
ill wee not so occupied in gazing was at |
least to be surmised, for every now and then |
came peculiar sound, sometimes followed |
BY the noise Of Struggling, almost always By
Of hedge" What This meant none then
