Clifton Harris, the Auburn murderer, was
executed at noon on Friday last, by Sheriff
Grose in the prison yard at ThOmaston. About
City persons were present in the enclosure, and
the roofs Of several buildings overlooking the
prison yard were occupied by spectators. The
condemned man fell about eight feet, but his
neck was not broken, and he died Of strangula-
ton. Harris made confession TO the prison
chaplain day or two since, In which he fully
implicated verr.ll in the murder. lie reaffirms
the truth Of his story as told at the trial, and
states that he was led to make the shtement cx-
onerating Verrill, through the influence Of a
woman confined in the Jail. and the representa-
lions Of other parties, in the hope Of gaining
friends, and lettering his own condition of
