ABINGDON, Va. June 14.-Archie johnson
leolored), convicted in the Circuit Court of
Russell county of the murder Of John Bart,
white man, some time in the year 1872,
was hung at Lebanon yesterday. He made
no remarks upon the gallows, although he
had a speech prepared, but became SO weak
that he could not deliver it. Apparently,
however, he was cool, and smoked cigar
given him by spectator while on the gal
lows.
1t was estimated that FIVE or six thousand
persons witnessed the execution. He made
confession several days ago, in which be
detailed minutely the circumstances of the
murder. Hart was killed with his own gun,
and conveyed By johnson and another negro
to cave and hidden there. 1t was some
weeks before the body was found, and then
by mere accident, the cave being entered
only at long intervals.
johnson was convicted mainly upon the
testimony of the negro who assisted him in
concealing the body. johnson attributes
his crime to idleness and dissipation.

SENTENCE OF DEATH PASSED UPON HORACE
fESABiE.--Horace Venabie, convicted In the
Hastings Court Of the murder Of Mary
Holmes, was taken before Judge Guison on
Saturday last 10 have the sentence of death
passed upon HIM. MIR. Thomas II. Leary,
counsel for the convicted man, made motion
for new trial on the ground that there was
not sufficient evidence 10 convict, and the
confession Of the man, made at time when
he was laboring under great excitement,
should not be allowed as evidence. He
quoted a number Of legal authorities to sus-
tain this point. The Judge overruled the
motion. Counsel then asked that sufficient
time be granted in order that writ of error
be applied for. which will take the case to
the Court Of Appeals. The clerk of the
court (Mr. Andrew Jinkins) ordered the
prisoner to stand UP, and said: Horace
Nenable, you have been tried, found guilty,
and convicted of murder. Have you any
thing to say why sentence of death should
not be passed upon vou?" Judge Guigon
then pronounced the following sentence:
You have had full and fair trial.
"You have been defended by jealous
counsel, who have used their best exertions
in your behalf. ... ...
~ jury careful Of your rights and inte-
rests have, upon a fun examination Of all the
testimony, and patient hearing of all that
could be said in your favor, in the dis
charge of their sworn duty, found you
guilty Of murder in the first degree-the
highest crime known to the law, and the
penalty Of which is death ..',
VI am constrained to say that, in my
opinion, there is no hope for you on earth,
save in the clemency Of the Executive, and
| would not have you rest upon that.
"four only hope and your only effort
should now be to make your Peace with the
God whose commands you bave disobeyed,
and whose laws you have so fearfully yio-
lated.
Let your fate be IL warning not only to
people vt your own class, but to people of
all conditions. that evil associations and O
dissolute life lead to guilt and death, and
that crime, however secret and unseen may
be its commission. is in the end inevitably
dragged into the light of day, to be seen and
known of oil men.
1t only remains for me now to pronounce
the solemn sentence of the law, which IL,
that YOU be taken from hence to the public
iail of this city, and there detained in close
confinement until Friday the 9TH day of
December next. and from thence that you
be conveyed by The Sergeant Of this city, be-
tween the hour6 Of ii in the forenoon and 3
in the afternoon Of that day, to some conre-
nicnt public place. aud there hanged by the
neck until you are daM; and may God have
mercy on your Scul.'
The prisoner did not show any feeling, nor
| even change countenanee while the death
sentence was being passed upon him. &c
stood bolt upright, with his eyes upon the
Judge, listening to every word uttered,
though there was on his COuntenance d
vacant stare. which left the impression that
he d;l not under.tand fully the import OF
the sentence.
He was lrIndrutird and taken back t. the
iail, where, by bis sentence, he will remain
utiithe day of his execution, should the
writ of error moi lie granted.
