now LIE TOOK HIS SENTENCE
Some time since, We announced the result
Of the trial, the finding and sentence Of the
Court, and the action OF the authorities: and
on the following day, tho result was commu-
nicated BY Col shaite!, to the prisoner in
bis ccll-the official finding aud sentence
being rad to him. When the officer entered
for that purpose, Champ was as fr1n, aud as
relentless, rs wien, In the midst Of his mad
career, he murdered nike the wounded, the
sick. the aged, and the helpless child; and
when the last sentence had been read, be
barely remarked:
..As expected, sir.''
From that time he was urged to preuaro far
death but for tlays lie remained t1,r sn,nc
firm. upfIinchinr man he hod hcrn tl1rnnfrh-
out lie trial. fie goulI tnIk of dealt, - If
It were a rather disagreeable matter. bnt a
thing Of no great moment +: ana As far
iuturity-tkat scarccIy entered his mind, or if
It did his proud spirit would not admit Of its
prcecnce.
Till within the last four days of lis exist
euce, he was as proiane as when heading his
band Of outlaws, and uttering imprccatlons
against cyen lis own brothers. one Of whom
died in support OF the Stars aud Stripes, be-
meath which he had been reared, and which
neither promises nor threats could induce him
to desert. He appeared as braccd against
every feeling Of humanity, as when, with his
OWL band, he murdered The venerable old man
who had Graded him On his knee, and to
whom be vas indebted for thousand fayors.
