THE EXECUTION.

TIE EXECUTOR.
TIE execution Of Payne: Herold, Atzerott
and Mrs Surratt took place yesterday within
she arsenal yard at Washington
The counsel for Mrs Surratt at al early
hour in the morning sued out a writ ct habeas
corpus before Judge Wyie, to which General
Hancock responded in Court, informing the
Court that he had been instructed by the
President that the writ OF habeas corpus was
suspended in this special case, and that the
ORDER for executing the extreme penalty upon
her that day, must be carried out. The Court
remarked that the character OF the response
showed that it had exhausted It's power, and
was unable to enforce the execution OF the
writ.
The Washington Chronicle has an article
condemning Judge Wylie for issuing the writ;
and accuses him of Showing his hostility to
the policy of President johnson as he had shown
his hostility to the policy Of President Lin
coin" s
On the contrary, Attorney General Speed,
in explanation Of the determination OF the
government, under the circumstances, to dis
regard the writ, expressed his confidence that
Judge Wylie had been guided in the matter
only by sincere convictions OF duty.
At 26 minutes past one, the drop tell under
the criminals.
Mrs. Surratt appeared to have died without
struggle one slight movement OF her chest
alone was visible, and Payne gave one or two
shrugs Of his shoulders and all was over. Not
So however, with Herold He swayeo back
ward and forward for a few seconds, and there
was lifting of his feet, and an inclination OF
his body that Indicated a violent and protract-
ed struggle between life and death. Atzerodt,
the last Of the four, seemed to pass away very
quietly.
The bodies were suspended about twenty
minutes, when Surgeon Otis United States
Volunteers, and Assistant Surgeons Wood
ward and Porter, United States Army, made
a careful examination, and pronounced them
dead. A ladder was placed against the scaffold-
ing, and about twenty minutes to two the
bodies were taken down in the following order:
George A. Atzerodt, David b. Herold, Lewis
Payne Powell, and Mrs. Mary Il. Surratt =
Each body was examined as it was lowered
The nooses in tie cases of Atzerodt and Payne
caught SO near the base of the skull that the
Surgeons could not decide whether their necks
were broken 1t was also doubtful in Herold,s
case whether his neck was broken: The mat
ter was beyond doubt, however, In the case
of Mrs Surratt. The bodies were placed IN
the collins and appropriately marked, after
which. they were buried. Application was
ma de for the remains of Mrs Surratt, Herold
and Atzerodt, by their relatives; but without
success
