minister the sacrament, and at l2:3O
o'clock P. NJ. the wife murderer expi-
ated his crime on the scaffold. He
ascended the scaffold with firm step,
never for once showing emotion. After
hanging fifteen minutes the body was
cut down and placed in coffin. Seven
bundr red spectators were present iTside
the jail ysrd, whilst thousands we're out
side. The adjoining house tops and
trees were filled with people, large
number Of whom we're ladies. The
last words of Jenkins were, Farewell
world, farewell friends, l am going to
Jesus Hallelujah." The execution
was managed admirably. The neck
was not broken. Four minutes after
the drop fell the body drew up convul-
sively and then all was still.
The next man to be hung is Barney
Wood, the murderer OF Cheesemsn, OF
Maine, which takes place November y.
