The Placerville Courier of January
18th has the annexed notice Of these
executions:
Pedro Pablo Escobar and Indian Jim
were executed yesterday, in accordance
with the sentence of the Court. A few
minutes before IL o'clock they were
brought from the Jail and assembled the
scatfold, attended by Rev. Father Lar
gan and the officers, and after appro-
pirate religious ceremony and the read
ing Of the execution, the black cap were
placed upon. their heads and they were
launched into eternity. The prisoners

stantly, without a perceptible struggle.
Want Of time prevents a more extended
account this week.
