ExEcUrlon OF JOSEPH PHovosr FOR
THE MURDER OF CHRISTIAN Miller. -
Friday morning last being the time APP
pointed for the execution of this unfor-
tunatc individual, he HTas escorted by a
large procession of the military and c;t-
zens from the Jail to the place Of e&ocu-
ton. accompanied by :, band Of music,
playing the dead march, wl.ich gave it a
solemn appearance. Long Before the
hour fixed Tor the cc!,domned man to be
hung the vicinity of the scanold was
thronged With spectators, waiting the ar
rival Of the criminal. About II o'clock
}he nrocession left the Jail and arrived at
the gallows at balf-past IL. The wagon
in which Provost rode drove up to the
foot Of the scafolI, and, assisted by the
L I,,l 81, a -.,ll I'd
up the steps and was plarc1 on the fatal
trap and his arms pnioned. At this
point the sentence Of death was READ to
him, after which he prisoner made u few
remarks in which he as3ovcralod bis in
noccnce of the charge of killing Miller.
The rope being already arj:'nd his neck,
vas attached to the beam above, the bite
cap placed over his face, and all was really
for the cutting OF the rope that held the
trap door, The Provost Marshal descend
cd the steps Of the gAllows leaving the
fltcl man waiting to hear the stroNe that
would launch his soul into eternity. The
blow was made and the door gave way,
but from the very heavy fall the rope
broke precipitating him With great force
upon the ground below. 4 new rope
was procured and second time he was
led upon the scatIold and again placed Oh
the trap, the rope attached to the ring in
the cross beam, and after short delay
the trap was knocked from uuder him and
his body was suspended between heaven
and earth. The fall broke his neck and
his struggles were scarcely perceptible.
After hanging thirty minutes he was cut
down and buried at the foot OF tie seat
fold.
Capt. George II Bragonier, Provost
Marshal of the city, conducted the exc.
cdtion in manner which reflects great
credit to himself.
