the Jail yard there were frequent April
showers, but about l clock the sun

different roofs, as if to select the best
lint from which to view the scene As

selves on the roof opposite, in a long row
and remained until all was over, looking
precisely like earnestly interested specta-

visitors, was thronged throughout the
forenoon, for some time before and after
the execution.
The fact was made public yesterday
that since he has been confined at East

after his sentence he wrote a letter to a
