NEW YORK, March 10.-The negro
murderer, Thomas, was executed at
the T0mbs this forenoon. NOtWith-
standing the heavy rain, nearly one
thousand persons we're around the
wall outside the prison. The sheriff
took the precautiOn to divest the exc
outiOn as much as possible Of
brutaiziDg features. Only the off,
cials and members Of the press were
admitted. Numbers Of persons clam
bered upon the roofs of the buildings
facing the Tombs, but the canvas pre-.
vented a view. The prisoner did not
sleep at all during the night, but
prayed at intervals with Father Dur
anquet, who remained with him until
! the hour Of execution. Thomas
showed much forntg3e on the scaf-
foldi and knelt in prayer for a few
minutes before the drop fell. He was
so powerful that twenty-five minutes
elapsed from the time the bolt was
drawn til hfe was extinct,
