EXECUTION OF GREEN. --Edward w.
Green, the murderer of Frank Z. Con-
verse i'll the Maiden Bank, in Deem
Der, 1868, was executed for his great
crime, at East Cambridge, on Friday.
Green, it will be remembered, plead
guilty to murder in the first degree, .
and was sentenced to be executed on
such day ms the Governor would APP
point. Gov. Andrew refused to sign
the warrant for his execution. Soon
after coming into Office, the case was
taken into consideration by Gov Bull
lock, who issued warrant for his ex-
ecution. A petition for writ of er-
ror was refused by the Governor, as
also was denied an appeal to commute
his punishment to imprisonment for
life. If ever person deserved to be
executed, that man was Green, for a
more cruel and unprovoked murder is
seldom committed.
