White Man and Negro Hung for the Murder
of u POliceman-The Scenes.
Despatch to The EUening Telegraph.
MEMPHIS, Aug. 21.-The execution of James
Calvin and Samuel Moody, the latter colored,
has been the theme of conversation for several
days. At an early hour yesterday morning
crowds of people, mostly negroes, from the city
and country began to assemble about the Jail,
and by one o'clock the vicinity was dense with
people anxious to witness the execution. The
men were to eXpiate the crime of murder, hay
ing killed Officer Fenton in December, 1868. At
1'3O P NJ. Sheriff Curry appeared with the pri-
soner Calvin, accompanied by Father O'Brien
and a guard. Calvin mounted the scaffold with
firm tread and apparently without any fear
Arrived upon the scaffold, the Sheriff read the
decision of the Court, after which Calvin, with
Father O'Brien, united in prayer when Calvin,
in response to question from the Sheriff as to
whether he had anything to say, stepped for
ward and addressed the crowd. He acknow-
lodged to having fired the fatal shot, but SAID
he did it in self-defense. After which
religious service was read. Galvins arms
and legs were pinioned, and the cap placed over
his head, the moose adjusted, and at 1'40 the
drop fell. After hanging fifteen minutes the
physicians pronounced life extinct, when his
body was cut down and delivered to his mother
Moody, the negro, accompanied by the
minister and officers, ascended the steps of the
scaffold at 2'10 The Sheriff read the death-war
rant and told Moody if he had anything to say
to do so. Moody then, ,'as often before, declared
his innocence, warned all to keep out of bad
company, said Bedford was the man who fired
the shot, and that he was going to die for the
crime of murder, but expressed a'willingness
to die, having experienced religion since his
confinement. After this the colored clergyman,
Mr.. Rivels offered prayer and sang hymn,
Moody joining in the latter. At the conclusion
Moody's arms and legs were pinioned, the cap
was drawn over his head, and at 2'20 the door
was again dropped. Fifteen minutes after, life
had left the body 1t was then cut down and
delivered to his friends

A remarkable case of kidnapping occurred in
Chicago on Sunday morning last, While Officer
Edward Miller was crossing Lake Street Bridge
he heard wall from vessel tied near by, and
at once went to the rescue, was met by some
constable, who told him that there was II diff
Guilty on the vessel, and directed him aboard for
particulars While trying to find some one to
arrest the tug Crawford came alongside, took
the vessel in tow and went out into the lake
with it. Since then Miller has not been heard
from and his friends are little anxious as to
his whereabouts.

were collected to witness the illuminations, pro-

Upon setting one or more of them on fire, by a
match train, however, loud explosion took
place and showers of grapeshot were discharged,
to the imminent peril of the assembled speeta-
tors. who took to their heels. Fortunately no
one was seriously injured The officers, at the
risk of their lives, took the rest of the shells
and threw them into the sea, where some of
them exploded with tremendous noise, and
the conclusion shook the ground like an earth
