Beale entered the each with sheriff
Hesd''ek and was followed ~ Rakerssd de-
putty sheriff Barker together vnh Father
Gcen, Rev. A. r. Waller and .. Diekin-
scn. One OF two other gentlemen also
took seats in the coach
The prisoners, with escort, arrived at the
gallows about ll.30 A. VI. Bcale went up
the stairway to the platform without assis-
tance with firm step. Baker was appa.
rently enfcebled aud evidently suffering.
Both were dressed in full black cloth suits,
with black gloves. white stockings and
cloth CATERS. Bealc was cool and prepared
Baker seemed much depressed and
showed great penitence. Rev. Father
Goaus attended Beale !; Rev. o. Dickinson
and a. +. Waller, Baker.
Rev. Waller addressed the crowd warn.
ing them earnestly against crime, next,
Father Gocus, spoke briefly and to the
same effect. Baker then arose and said:
Ladies and Gentlemen Look at me
here, poor miserable man on the gallows
to suffer, and take warning by me. Oh,
keep out Of bad company, and believe in
your God. ! advise you all to pray to
get down on your knees and pray. God
is good and merciful. lie can save you.
If had never gone into bad company, I
would not have been here to die. l am
soon to go into eternity, to appear before
my God. Pray for me friends. I have no
more to say. Farewell friends, farewell :"
Bcale said:
"Brethren, Ladies'and Gentleman I
am here to die, and you will excuse me if
don't speak us would like to, for have
never been accustomed to public speaking.
am here to suffer death for my crimes
am more guilty than my companion here.
He did the worst Of the transactinn, but
got him into it aud planned the whole
thing. l am the most guilty and would
like to take the whole punishment ON my
own hands aud have him go clear. And
for that old man, that was sent out of the
world so quick, that he could not prepare,
l wish that il he has gone to He'll for his
sins and go to Heaven, that he could take
my place in Heaven, and l take his place
in He'll"
lie then spoke briefly on the evils Of
bad company aud said:
II have always been fanatic and never
believed in this book (holding. out a Bble,)
until within few days back. Now, be-
lieve in it, and believe all can be saved by
it; that God will save us all, five do right.
wish to read you psalm from this book.
l read the 3Sth Psalm"
The prisoners voice was clear and very
calm. After reading the psalm, he again
admonished all present against evil CON-
pany, and to read the Bible, and added
Il have now no further use for this book,
it is the best book in the world, it has done
me great deal Of good, have no further
use for it," And at this he threw tho
book over into the crowd. With few
words more he concluded, aud then turn
ing to the sheriff, remarked: "Well, am
ready, so far as l am concerned" and re-
sumed his seat.
Neither Of the prisoners made any al!u-
sion to the facts connected with murder or
robbery, or to the amount Of money found
or taken by them. Bcule. by single re-
mark, barely intimated that he had told all
in his confession. Baker spoke in subdued,
penitcntial tones. and was much agitatcd.
he had thoroughly braced himself for the
occasion. and was cool and composed, im.
pcrturbable.
Rev. Dickinson read the 55th Psalm aud
then prayed. the prisoners kneeling-Ba-
