correspondent from Frederick, Nd gives the
following concerning the execution of George Tru-
man, the colored murderer, yesterday
Everything being now ready, those on the scaffold
descended, the Sheriff coming down last When he
reached the third step from the ground he kicked
the slip and the drop Immediately fell. This was at
fOlty-tve minutes past twelve o'clock. Then a
spectacle presented to the view that sent shud-
der through the whole assembly. 1t was evident
by the fall for the body continued to struggle ter
ribly for fully one minute. In about two minutes
all motion had ceased, and the body swung to and
fro, apparently ifeless. 1t was observed that the
knot had slipped when the drop fell to the back OF
the prisoners neck, and the body hung with the
head pushed forward instead of to one side Ten
minutes from the moment the drop fell DIR. McSherry
ascended from the scatfold with two three men to
ascertain whether life extinct, and here to the
surprise and disgust OF all present. another revolt
ing scene occurred-not through any want OF respect
to the dead, but from ignorance or thoughtessness
Instead of lowering the body down and placing
chair for the physician to stand upon to enable him
to reach the pulse OF the body without touching its
feet to the ground, the attendants hauled the
body upon the sCatfold and dumped down the plat
form with jerk. The physician announced that
death had not yet occurred at which the men let
Of the rope and permitted the body to fall roughly
to the extent OF the rope, where it swung
from side to side, the legs and arms which had been
united, dangling about In the most CHASTITY manner
until the rope was caught and steadied by the doc
tor. At this time the clamOrOus crowd the out
side OF the jail were admitted and tine enclosure was
speedily packed with men, women, and even young
girls, all frantic to get a view OF the corpse After
hanging a quarter of an hour the body was lowered
near to the ground and again examined but the ply
sician was not satisfied that death had taken place;
so the body was allowed to hang five minutes longer
making twenty minutes in ALL when it was lowered
to the ground.
From the ignorance of the officials who seemed to
be nOvices in the matter OF executions, the con-
demned was strangled to DEATH instead of having
died instantly by the breaking of the neck.
