ruE EXECUTION.
MANCuLs1EB, NOV. o., 1867.
have lust come from the execution OF
Allen Larj,in. and OBr,eD. W TO the last it was
thought by some that the British Government would
htysa de,h bed repentance, and it IS feared that
similar hooe inspired the prisoners. Nothing has
baDpcnod during the night which IS worthy OF
record Crowds of people, OF course renamed
during the whole night in the ncighoornood OF tue
prison. Nome expecting others hoping against
hope. that an attack would be made upon It, None
WA made; it would have been utterly futile.
Troops Of cavalry paraded all the thorougnimeS and
artillery was stationed at commanding points.
BY gong through back streets at some risk OF
losing myself. was able TO get to the back gate OF
in, prison. and there provided with the requisite
psSs. otained admission. This same pass had to be
sgnsd by two Of the visiting magistrates aud as
uons Of these WORTHLESS live in tho City OF Mauchcs
t. I obtained tie pass by some hours Of patience
aud some miles of travel 4 similar pass was
granted 20 the representatives OF the Lon
dol. Liverpool. and Manchester daily jour
mis-. and your correspondent alone represented
tls press of America in this sad tragedy.
The prisoners an slept well from 10 o'cloc, last
night until ( this morning When they awoke they
refused all Iircsbncut, ba, Father Cadd, their
spiritual adviser prevailed on them to take some
coffee and toast Imay mention here that they have
been IN All things obedicnt 10 their priests Fathers
Gadd and Quick and Canon CantvCl have been with
them necessarily and their services seem TO have been
H. 1hly appreciated 10y the prisoners.
At . CaCTatt tLc public AanEman commenced 10
p.MDn the prisoners, aud precisely al the mourn
fl aud solemn procession moved NJ IaihCr i@gd
pace from the cells 10 the foot 81 tie ScatOd The
High Sheriff and hiS deputies walked IrSt. then Allen
accompanied Lv Father CGdd L2rllu and Father
Ouirk. aud lastly OBrcn and Canon CautWon. The
poor men passed close to 40 Inc 1905 of the scat
tod and each was repeating the responses of the
looked pale. weak, and einaClated nom ConhncWcut.
OBrion bore 10 air OF defiance or bombdst but he
walked as Jaunuly, and rePe3ted the responses as
cl5ertuiiy rs though he were bridegroom attending
rs wedding. His bearing was admired by ga those
who saw lima ascend the scailOd. IL was TINT OF
brave. heroic man. l do not think that Allen and
lkn were less brave but they ere not posScsSedOt
fio splendid ply siqUe of . Bnen they were weak ~
bodv he strong; hut when the procession arrived
~ he foot of the scaOd they had to ascend about
lDl steps on wooden stairway which had been con
sIucled Cor the purpose. and which conveyed them
a. platform at the top OF the prison walls, where
tat gauoWS Lau been built J. ut men stepped hlhoiy
up but the eXCItlOn proved TO he too much for
iIrkin, who almost tainted when upon the platform
and had to be supported by the laeIS An opening
had been made in the wall lust wide enough FOR three
prisoners 90 hang in, thar when the drop fell they
hung rs IL were I'm the wall. On either side of the
s.adO,h within the walls. were two largo platforms
about three feet below the SOP OF the wall. Upon
these were stationed Platoon OF the ith lllgiandcrs
with their rifles they were kept IN cTOucbmc posi-
ton, 80 that IN case OF any attempt ut not IN the
crowd below, they could Tise aud fire down upon
them. Three companies OF Jlc same regiment were
formed n line ut Che loot oi the steps.
The three mcn rs they assembled the gallows 'io-
loved b. Calclalt. repeated the responses ol the
priest. Arrived upon the platform Allen WIS STA
toned in the center Lavbln his night, and BIicn
MS left. When the cap had been placed over
Aliens eyes, ImkIn crept up 20 him and shook hands

shook hands with Alien and kissed him. and then
quietly allowed the cap 10 be drawn over his face;
tho nO0ses placed round their ncck,. the holt
was drawn and the three men were IN eternity.
OBren could not have hrCathcd many seconds. but
OBricu was heard TO say, jesus have mercy

bodies praying long after they had ceased 10 breathe.
The bodies hung for one hour, ard at O'Clock were
Brought down. and viii BE- inferred within tho pre-

take away these last sad relics Of the departed.

The crowd in the ucghbOrloOd Of the gaOl during
