The Rev Mr.. Grunther then also made
the sign Of the cross ON the person of the
folon, after which the latter arose to his feet.
He did not tremble al this moment. lie
kissed the crucifix three times, after which
he took leave Of his attending clergymen.
They descended leaving the prisoner alone
with the Sheriff and prison keeper. As
they advanced to the center of the seaffold,
Probst seemed to suit himself so as TO give
as little trouble as possible in adjusting the
rope. His hands were fastened behikd him
by means of handouts. The white cap Tas
ment he alone stood like statue on the
brink of eternity. His breast heayed heav-
ily in the process of breathing Farther
Gfundther speedily ascended the steps, and
waving bis hand, Sheriff Howell pulled the
rope, and in an instant the wretched crimi-
nal was dangling in the air, having fallen
three feet.
A slight sickness evercame the Sheriff,
but it passed away in moment lie has
performed his duty we'll There never had
been such quiet execution within the walls
Of the prison. The doomed man hung per-
fectly motionless for two minutes. He then
slightly vibrated his lower extremeties. This
was Immediately followed by intense tremu
lousness of his limbs In few minutes his
heart pulsated its last throb, and Probst
was no more. The law triumphed, and
justice was satisfied. He was hung at
I0:45, and at lib was cut down, and his
body taken into the paint shop.
The body was placed in the hands of Dr.
B. Howard Rand, who with FIVE assistants,
proceeded to make a number of scientific
experiments The first of these consisted
in the examination of the eye, with the aid
Of powerful electric light, for the purpose
OF detecting an image remaining upon the
retina.
The right eye was afterward taken out,
to allow Of more careful examination, as
there is modern scientific theory that
events occurring Immediately before death
remain impressed upon the retina
The galvanic battery was then applied,
one pole being placed in the mouth and the
other in the temple A powerful current
was then passed through the wires, produ-
cling a fearful contortion of the frame.
The jaws worked convulsively and the
chest heaved as if with strong respiration.
This action was of course purely mechanical,
as the neck had been broken By the fall and
life was entirely extinct
The post mortem of the body viii be made
by DR.. Pancoast before the class of the JEFF
ferson Medical College this morning.

duce large crop this season. More sugar will be

| crop promises to be far more abundant than was

| ST. MARTIN's.-Last Saturday, Mr.. FRANCOIS
! Pradon, quiet and honorable resident Of Grande
| Pointe, in this parish fell the victim of murder
most foul and villainous. AT about o'clock at
night Mr.. Pradon was sitting quietly in his ROOM
| eating his supper, when he heard his name called

whence the gun is presumed, by persons being in
| the house, to have been fired, stands about seven
yards from the door where stood Mr. Pradon.
