HANGING OF DER. HUGHES. THE BIG.
AMIsT AMI MURDERER.

CLEvELAND. Feb. g.
The execution Of DR.. John w. Hughes,
the seducer, forger, bigamist and muir
derer, took place to-day. He was hung
in the jail of this county, in private, ac-
cording 10 the laws of the State.
On the ninth Of August, DR.. Hughes, a
physician of education and talent, a ma
tive Of the Isle of Man, ~thirtv-three
years Of age, deliberately murdered Miss
T0msen, a person whom he had previ-
ously seduced, and by a forged decree OF
divorce Of his first wife had induced her
10 accompany him TO P~ittsburg, where
be married her. He was arrested, con-
victed Of bigamy and sent to the Peni-
tertiary, but was pardOned out by Gov.
Curtin.
After the murder Of Miss Parson, Of
Bedford, which he did by shooting her
twice through the head, be was arrested,
tried and convicted, and to-day has
suffered the extreme penalty Of the law.
This is one of the most remarkable
cases in the annals of crime in this
country. DR.. Hughes was a man Of
more than ordinary intelligence, and
was highly educated in his profession.
During his trial and incarceration of six
months, he has shown the utmost CON
mand over himself, and his conduct has
been entirely exemplary. On Wednes-
day night he attempted TO commit
suicide by taking a large dose of NOR
phine which ne had surreptitiously
obtained and concealed in his
cell, but the attempt was discov-
cred in time and thwarted. During the
day, up to the hour of execution, he was
perfectly composed, and on the scaffold
made a long, but rather ~incoherent
speech, expressing his views upon reli-
gious and other subjects, and acknowl-
edging his firm belief in doctrines of
spi~ritualism. He acknowledged the ius-
nce ofthe sentence of death, and died
without a struggle.
This case has created the greatest in
terest in this city and vicinity during the
trial and up to the time of the execution
to-day. An attempt was made to induce
Gov. Cox to commute his sentence, which
failed. The justice of the execution is
acknowledged on all hands.

and his son had a narrow escape, a bali
having passed so near his face that he
felt the wind oft he had raised a win
dow and was standing inside the room.
The next morning over forty burnt ear
tridges were found outside the front ward
fence. The gentleman had absolutely
done nothing to cause this outrage. His
yard fence is literally split up by bullets.
The object, of course, was the robbery of
Ayres' store, formerly Harrelli, a rob
berry Of another sroFe having taken place
a night or two before, which comnletely
ruined the victim, whose name we have
forgotten. Mr.. Ayres thinks one of the
negro soldiers was so severely wounded
as to probably be dead, andf e his run bad
