and all burst out laughing. Wohlebe
was released, and | was told by Mr..
Harnett that was in custody, where
upon | made the statement to him Of
having been i'll in London at the time Of
the murder.
The comedy was becoming serious
The doctor requested that telegram
might be sent to London, to the proprie-
tor Of the hotel where he had been stop
ping but this was refused. The police
and authorities would not give the pris-
oner chance to prove himself innocent.
Their only desire was to throw no obsta-
cles in the way of his conviction for the
murder. SO DR.. Hessel was sent to
prison, and assigned to II dungeon, and
stripped of his clothes and put in regu-
lation uniform, and lost his identity as
DIR. Hessel and became Number 8.
He was refused permission to see or
communicate with his friends, and sub
Iected to all the indignities and hard
ships of prisen life, and all because he
was a man with foreign accent.
This state of things continued eight
days, and in the meantime the ship had
gone, and his young wife was nearly dis
tracted. At length his examination
came, and it was clearly and over
whelmingly proved that he could not by
any possibility have been guilty of the
crime charged, which fact might have
been as clearly established on the day
of his arrest as eight days after.
This history in detail has been ringing
for weeks through the press Of England,
and the Government has given notice
that it will defray the cost OF the defense
and pay the passage of DIR, and Mrs.
Hessel to their original destination in
Brazil. The case has also given rise to
a loud demand that the laws be so
amended as to render it impossible for
a man whose innocence can be proved
in an hour to be treated as a convicted
criminal tor weeks, months or years.

cane from the hand Of the General, aud,
breaking il in several pieces, flung them
Ia his face. Uttering howl Of rage at
this unexpected resistance, Senelnikoh
rang his bell. Two Cossacks made their
appearance, aud at a hint from the ~
rant dragged the victim OF his cruelty 10
prison. Next day Senelniked tele.
graphed his version OF the occurrence 10
the Minister OF War Cor Instructions.
He wanted 10 kAow whether be Was TO
punish the offender as matter OF
discipline, or whether he was 10 have
him tried by military commission. The
Government instructed him 10 pursue
the latter course, aud on the 18th Of De-
cember, Eichmuller, who had been treat
ed in prison with the utmost rigor and
whose food, despite the inclemency OF
the weather. had consisted exclusively
Of bread aud water, was placed before a
military commission composed Of four
army officers of low grade. The pro-
ceedings lasted only an hour, at the end
OF which the prisoner was found guilty
and sentenced TO suffer death at day
break on the following morning. The
unfortunate man threw himself in an
agony Of terror and despair on his
knees, and implored his harsh judges in
hartrending tones for mercy, but OF
course without avail. He was dragged
back to his dungeon, where his wife and
children had a most affecting interview
with him.
THE EXECUTION.
During the night gallows was erected
on the parade ground in front of the
military guard house. ltwas rough
hewn structure, the rope with which the
doomed man was to be strangled to
death dangling down from an iron hook
in the crossbeam. At seven o'clock
a. m. the garrison of Irkutsk formed a
hollow square around the gallows FIT
teen minutes afterward the executoner,
his two assistants, and the wretched
prisoner made their appearance. Ech-
muller presented truly pitiful aspect.
He was the very picture of boundless
terror. He shed tears copiously and ut
tered incessantly low means. When he
caught sight Of the gallows he raised his
chains to heaven and broke into loud
shrieks. The exeeutioner pushed HIM
rudely toward the instrument Of death
and placed him underneath the rope.
After taking the chains from the
prisoner he put the moose round his
neck; then he stepped behind Eicbmul-
Ter, and seizing the other end Of the
rope, jerked it up violently. In the
next moment the culprit dangled five or
six feet from the ground in the air.
The executioner then suddenly lowered
him three or four feet. Thereupon one
of the assistants hung himself to the
legs Of the sufferer, who was again
pulled up by the exeeutioner. This
pulling up and lowering was repeated
iour times, whereupon the prisoner was
examined by surgeon and pronounced
dead. His remains were inferred by the
executioner without being previously
enclosed in coffin. The whole execu-
ton was over at quarter to eight.

COLLEGIATE.

The Washington Irving Literary
Society of Stewart College have kind
ly extended the courtesy of an honora-
ry membership to our associate editor.
He wishes the young gentleman of the
Society to accept his thanks, and to
consider him true friend to their Col
lege. The success of an institution of
learning depends as much upon its
students as upon its president and fac
ulty. And we have good reason to
hope that the gentlemen, now pursu-
ing their studies at Stewart College,
will go forth from their alma mater
bearing the rich fruits of a sound ed
ucation, and bless our country with
their well directed labors for her good;
while they will thus win hOnOrs for
themselves, and establish high repu-
TAXATION for the institution which pre-
pared them for the duties of life.
They are now enjoying the inestimable
advantages ola thorough course of
study, the soundest and best methods
of instruction, the care and guidance
of an able and energetic president,
and corps of professors, whose aim
is to develop in their students the
highest type of manhood. We know
that the students of Stewart college
appreciate these advantages, and are
earnestly striving toprepare themselves
to perform their part of the great bus
mess of life with distinction.

GAINESVILLE COOPERATIVE AS
ISOLATION.

4 meeting was held in the Court
House last Wednesday evening, for
the purpose of taking preliminary
steps toward the organization of a CO.
operative association of the citizens of
this place, especially of the young
men; for it was among them that the
plan originated. Mr.. J. Baldwin was
chosen chairman, and Mr.. j. Il. Duff
secretary. The object of the meeting
was explained and DIR. H. +. Beach,
Mr.. Charles L. Cook, Mr.. w. A.
Settle, Mr.. S. NJ. Northington, Mr.. j.
l.. Duff and oti ers expressed their
views Of the proposed scheme. There
was as much unanimity rs could be
expected at a merely preliminary
meeting; and all present entered heart
~ into the spirit of the enterprise,
which may be briefly expressed, as a
desire to inaurgurate some plan, whose
contamination will both profit the in
diridual members of the association
and promote the growth and prosper
ity of our city. 4 committee of five
on permanent organization was APP
pointed. consisting of DIR. III. +.
Beach, Charles L. Cook. j. i. Duff,
A. Davidson and Mat T. Gracey, who
were instructed to draw up a plan of
organization for cooperative assOci-
alton, and 10 report at a meeting 10 be
held in the Court House, on next
Thursday evening, Feb. 18th, at q
o clock.
The sense of the meeting, as express
ed by a considerable majority, was in
favor Of 4 cooperative association
rather than ioint-stock company.
There was a strong feeling, indicated |
by the young men present, to make the
most energetic efforts for the advance
ment of the interests Of the city as
well as for their own individual good !
GAINESVILLE already owes a great deal
to her young men. The fire depart
ment was originated and organized by |
their almost unaided exertions; audit |
iscven now perpetuated and made effici-
ent mainly by them, and with but little
help from others These young men
having thus rendered secure the prop
erty of the citizens by awell organized
fire department, are now about to take
another step forward in the right d.
recti0n, by putting in operation the
proposed scheme. Those who have
successfully carried out one enterprise,
of great benefit to the city, are most
likely 10 cOnsummatc another of the
same kind.
We earnestly urge upon the people of
GAINESVILLE the Importance of giving
every possible encouragement TO the
undertaking of these young men, upon
whom must depend. in a great measure,
the future prosperity Of the city They
have already shown themselves worthy
of public confidence, and given the
best evidence in the world that they
sincerely wish to promote the true in
terests of this place, as center of
trade aud industry We hope that
their well-meant endeavors may meet
with the firm support of all good citi-
cons

A RIGHTEOUS VERDICT.


The Thompson will case. which
has excited SO much interest in this
city and county. terminated. so far as
the circuit court is concerned, with a
verdict against the will, on account of
the incompetency of the testator, the
jury agreeing that Frederick Thomp-
son was insane at the time of making
the will. This verdict has been re-
ceived by the people generally with
great satisfaction. We are glad that
IN this case a madness. or insanity,
which presumes to be called religion,
has, at least, been properly estimated.
This will made no provisions for
poor, afflicted child of the unnatural
testator, but left TO the church of
which he was member large be-
quest. This child had been a faithful
and Obedient daughter, had toiled for
her father like slave, had suffered
during his life from the harshness and
severity with which he had treated
her and in making his will, he left
her in poverty, and bequeathed to the
church much of the wealth, which
her industry had helped him to ac-
quire. Thejury did well toregard such
a will as the production of an unnatu-
raj, and disordered mind. When a man,
in the name of religion, does a deed
that is contrary TO every principle of
Justice; when he processes to be pro-
noting the cause of christianity, and
tramples under foot the letter and
spirit of the merciful and compassion
ate gospel of jesus, he may well be
called insane. We learn that an APP
peal has been taken to the Supreme
Court.
