WASHINGTON, Pa, Nav Is.
The execution of Robert Fogler 70,
the murder of BIr. Dlnsmore, took
place in the Jail yard to-day. The pris-
oner was conducted to the sraffoId at
one o'clock, P. NJ. The prisoner was
perfectly calm and trusting in God.
About fifteen minutes before one
o'clock the Sheriff entered his cell and
announced to Fogler that the time had
come. Fogler maintained complete
composure, and extending his hands
with smile to the Sheriff saying,
"Cheer up Sheriff, I am prepared" He
was then conducted to the scafFold,
supported on either side by Revs. Wat
kins and Herr. Prayer was offered on
scafold by the latter.
The trap fell at half-past ono, e,'and
thirteen minutes later life was extinct.
The body remained suspended over
twenty minutes, at the end of which
time, the doctors examined the body
and finding all signs of life extinct he
was taken down ut twelve minutes be-
fore two o'clock.
The remains of the condemned will
be conveyed to Georgetown, Beaver
county, Pa, the former residence OF
his parents, for rinterment.
The following is Fogler's speech on
the gaIlows: NJ
"GcntLeme1U and BTientks:-I have here
made true and full confession before

like to have published in the Washing
ton and Pittsburgh papers, and also in
the Beaver papers. bid you all good
bye"
He was dressed in new suit OF
black broadcloath, white shirt and
black neck-tie.
His confession embraces % pages OF
foolscap, in which he re-u1Irms his for
mer confession before the Coroner's
jury, and also gives some account of
his treatment by the counsel and
friends of Montgomery, in order to in
sure his silence on the trial of the latter

FIRST DISPATCH.

WAsHINGIOS, Pa, May 10.
I arrived in Washington yesterday
evening, and send you the following
account of the execution of Fogler
which take from an extra issued by
the Reporter this afternoon: Their,
was not very large attendance from
the country, but the feeling very gene
rally prevails here that Fogler has beer
badly dealt with; and though con
fessedly guilty of the murder of Mr.
Dinsmore, is by no means to be looked
upon as the prime mover in the fatal
tragedy which has cost him his life
His confession produced a most pro.
found sensation in this community,
and all disinterested parties are con-
vinced Off entire truth.
Miss Pruden, the prisoners cousin
was alone in the cell with him during
nearly the whole forenoon, and took
6nal leave of him near twelve o'clock.
Messrs. Watkins and Herr were then
admitted, and spent the balance of the
b4tAe W " Tue AouE Vi eAecutOu III re
!igious exercises: At quarter past
one, the sheriffs, jury, deputies, ply
sicians and reporters were admitted,
and arranged themselves in front of the
scatfold to await the solemn event.
In the course OF a very few minutes
FogIer made his appearance accompa-
MED By the sheriff, and followed by the
Revs. Watkins and Herr, proceeded to
the scanold, which he assembled with a
ann and steady step. he was dressed
n Plaln' black oroadcloth coat with
pants and vest OF the same color, look
ing pale from the effects of his long
confinement.
After taking their places on the scat
fold Rev. Mr. Herr offered brief, but
most feeling and impressive prayer, in
voking the Divine blessing upon the
prisoner and rendering devout thanks
TO the God of all Grace for the good
hope Of eternal life which had been
vouchsafed to the unfortunate man soon
10 be launched into eternity.
At the close of the prayer, Fogler
stepped forward upon the scaffo1d and
addressed the spectators in substance
as follows:
II desire to say to you all that 1 have
written cut with my own hand full
and true statement, confessing all my
crimes, which statement have signed
before God and in the presence of Mr..
Dougan. Mr.. Herr, Mr.. Watkins, DR..
Clark and DR.. Wilson, as witnesses
and which 1 wish them to have
published in the Washington papers,
the Pittsburgh papers and the Beaver
papers. also desire to return my
thanks to the Sheriff, who has always
dealt honestly with me, treated me
kindly and gave me good advice.
likewise wish to return my thanks to
my spiritual advisers, Mr.. Watkins and
Mr.. Herr and others, as well as to Mr..
Hornish, VINO have so kindly visited
1na during my imprinsonment all oF

A. the close of these remarks the
prisoner handed over the manuscrint
confession to Mr.. Herr and then took
his place on the trap, when the sheriff
proceeded to pinion his hands. After
the rope had been adjusted he offered
up the following earnest and feeling

A short time after had left Montgom-

Dinsmore's and rob him. We started
from town on certain night together,
shortly after dark. We were armed with

box Of boot backing along for the purpose
of backing our hands and faces. We ap-

the stable of William Montgomery before
starting to Mr.. Dinsmore's. We wore
army overcoats and old worn out silk hats,
both of US. We got the blacking and
brush at the grocery of James MontgOm-
cry before leaving town. We went out
the old Middletown road. We did not
know exactly where Mr.. Dinsmore lived.
We inquired the road at James Prigg' s
house, farmer residing about four miles
from this place, and were directed by
them. Babe went on while inquired the
road. didn't enter the house, but hol-
lowed from the road. After searching for
sometime for Mr.. Dinsmore's we gave it
up, and Babe said he had an aunt living
down in certain hollow or lot, which he
pointed out to me, and that they and MIR:
Dinsmore were neighbOrs. He proposed
to 20 there and inquire the road. He said
he knew that Miller's family-meaning
Henry Miller, who is brother.in'law OF
Hon. VIM. Montgomery-and Mr.. Dins-

had seen Mr.. Dinsmore get some snuff

for horror. to the tumult by which l was
surrounded on that memorable night.
Years appeared to have passed over my
head before morning began to dawn,
and then, in the first gray twilight,
had glmpses here and there of the crea-
lures among whom had passed the
night. There were cougars, and spot,
ted leopards, and fierce eyed cats of all
sorts and sizes, glaring at me from the
hooks and knot-holes of the tree; but !
did not notice single serpent now, and
as could see in the increasing light
that the waters had nearly subsided, 1
supposed that the reptiles had betaken
themselves to their haunts amid the
roots and hollows Of the tree.
1.-TWO huge brown bears leaped from
the lower branches and scattered away
for the jungle as / made my way down
the tree, from which dropped on the
soft, plasby ground with thankful
heart, and an inward resolve not to be
caught in rainstorm in those regions
again-not ifI knew it.
"About week after this adventure,
when everything had become as dry as
tinder under the burning sun, went
down with my Indians, all armed with
spears and torches, and we kindled q
great fire round the roots of the old lone
mora tree. 1t was nearly bare ofleaves
now from the rain and wind, and we
could see the terrible squirming that
took place among its wide-spreading
branches as the flames went wbirling
and licking around its trunk.
"Monstrous serpents reared them
selves out of the knot-holes and sped
like forked lightning up into the higher
branches, which, in some cases, were
unable to support their weight, and the
knotted reptiles came whirling to the
ground, where they were quickly dis
patched by the spears of the Indians.
"Many small snakes-some of which
were of the most dangerous kinds-came
gliding away from the burning roots OF
the tree; but we suffered none of them
to escape.
"How / could have stocked a museum
with magnificent specimens of live boas
had only possessed the means of trans
porting them to some seaport town; for
the Indians with me would have lassoed
any of them at my bidding.
AiVoi puin inihB ioi an houi, Sno hish
ty tree sank down into its ashes, a con-
fused mass of gnarled, blackened limbs,
seething and throbbing with the half
charred bodies Of serpents. We killed
eighty-four snakes of many varieties
and all sizes on this occasion, and it is
probable that quite as many more were
destroyed by the flames.
"Since this adventure, don't feel
quite as much confidence in trees as ]
used to.
"Has anybody else got story to
tell 7"
Nobody else had.
