and which the physicians pronounce incur

firmly believes that she can be cured by
drinking low drops of the blood Of man
who has been executed
Her name is Elizabeth Mund, and she is
twenty-three years of age, and has been the
mother Of three children, none of whom
survive. She has made numerous applica
tons at tie Jail to inquire when there
would be an execution, and as there has
been no case of capital punishment at that
institution for several months, her desires
for human blood has not been gratitied -
She heard that John Absbire. sentenced by
Court martial to be hung by the neck, was
to BE- executed in the Jail yard on the 18th
yesterday as il was stated in the papers
The execution of the sentence, however,
Vas suspended, and on being informed thai
the man was not to be hung, Mrs. Mund
appeared to be greatly disappointed and
chagrined Captain Bishop cbeered her
dropping spirits, however. by telling ber
that on the 18th Of April man would be
hung by the neck until be was dead, dead,
