one-half the crowd that desired to

sum of 1900 each. The court was
duly opened at 8 O'Clock, and the sher-

Friday, the terrible severity Of
the law was inflicted upon three per-
sons guilty ofmurder, by hanging them
by the neck until dead. These cxecu-
tons have of late become more FREE
quent, the result no doubt Of repeated
terrible crimes committed, which have
aroused public opinion to such an ex-
tent, as to stifen the backbone of
juries, judges aud governors. YIn the
face and eyes Of this foreshadowing
of death upon the gallows, Foster, the
car-hook murderer OF Putnam. and
his many wealthy and influential
friends are making most extraordina-
ry efforts to obtain from The Governor
q Communication ofshis sentence.
He is a young man, one of the
fast kind, with means to indulge his
libcrtinism and in so doing, he INSULT
ed ladies in a public conveyance, and
when quietly interfcrel with. he seized
a mnrderous instrument and By blows
killed the man who tried to protect
the unotfending ladies. The case is
one which the good OF society de-
mands shsuld be allowed to go on unin-
terruptcdiy, until the young man pays
the penalty OF the law with his life.
Standing alone, isolated, and to be
determined, having reference only 10
Foster, we would say runmtae the
sentence, and indeed, il Ire be truly
penitcnt, pardon him altogether, hut
in the light Of preserving the peace ri
society, hang him as an exceedillv
unwcicolne, but absolute necessity.
