Preparations for Whalen's Execution-Harsh
by the Condemned Man-Feeling Among the
Fenians. ~.
OTTAWA, Feb. 10, 1859,
whalen, the murderer OF DARCY McGee, win be
hung tomorrow morning. There is very little ex-
citement here about the matter ana but few arrivals
by the trains, although good many from the coun-
try. whalen is penitent and resigned. Two Sisters
Of Mercy and two Catholic priests with him
stantly. They administered the sacrament to-
night. No one is admitted to see him. Even
his wife had to say farewell through the grated
door, In the presence Of the Sner and jaers. Four
soldiers are in the corridor, ffeen in jail and bat
talon OF rides Is stationed around the jail out
side. '--''s'.t..- '.f'
Whalen has been moved to o lower CELL as he
could make signals to people outside from the win
dows. Rumors have been afioat that he had at
tempted suicide by cutting his throat with glass, and
also by hanging, but they are all incorrect. The
report that his wife threw herself at the Governors
feet and tmplored respite is false. She says she
would not stoop to beg his life; rather let him die
martyr. Whalcn has made q written statement
nov In the hands OF the ministers OF justice-in
shot, although he admits that he was one OF four
men who did the deed. He exculpates Doyle and
Bulkley and says he Is sworn to secrecy and will die
rather than turn informer.
The Fenian sympathisers here are rampant. They
held meetings at Gloucester, declared their sympathy
with Whalen and threatened bloody avenging. They
say they VIII shoot him on the scafiold and cheat
the British hangman Of his cherished prey. The
execution will be quiet. Sheriff Powell and the
prison authorities are vigorously discourteous to
the press. Ottawa Is small place and the officials
think themselves grand lamas.
