lowing account of the recent executions IN

ted point, forming three sides of a square in
closing the Commanding General with his
staff. soon after two ambulances, each con-
tanning one Of the prisoners sitting beside
the coffin, closely guarded by a detachment Of
the Provost Guard, approached the square.
The detachment, twenty-four in number,
commanded bv a Lieutenant, formed the de-
tail to which WAS entrusted the execution of
the sentence ol death. The cOtfns were
placed upon tie ground by the side of two
newly dug graves. and the condemned per-
sons took their places near them i dirge
was performed BY the Band while the solemn
preparations went on. 1t Col Stone, act

converscd a moment with the prisoners,
they shook bands with them and retired

placed a target upon their breasts 50 as to
cover their hearts The guard was then

reckless Indifference and even volunteered to
assist in moving his coffin from the amhu-
lance and 10 aid the Sergeant ia adjusting the
target. He vas a desperate fellow, had de-
serted two or thIcc tImes, and was an in
mate Of the guard house nearly all the time

awaiting him, bat preserved n firm and re-
