Iu minute more he intimated to the
Sheriff that he was ready, and exactly
at twelve o'clock that officer threw the
rope over the beam and made it secure.
He then presented the prisoner with
white gloves, which he commenced at
once to put on. The prisoner now
threw the tobacco out of his mouth
which lie! had been chewing cast off his
hat, and tie Sheriff placed upon him
the black cap, which'hung down on his
shoulders and over his face, shutting
the sunlight from his face forever. The

TIL; FATAL ROPE.

A short time before eleven, the Sher-
if placed the rope about the prisoner
neck, and exhibiting nervousness and
feeling, the prisoner told him-"do your
duty; don't get excited" After the
rope was adjusted, the Sheriff was about
to put the black cap upon him, when
the prisoner objected, saying that "he
wanted to wear his own hat. Religious
services were then held, in which the
Rev. Messrs. Capers, Pratt and Baker
took Dart.

At the conclusion of his speech he
called upon all to ask him any questions
that they might desire, and that he
woull be glad to answer, After q pause
and a perfect silence he named several
who might ask him questions, and final
ly some one came to the steps of the
gallows, and asked him about the muir
der of Jake Brown. Hesitating little,
he turned to the Sheriff and said in an
undertone, II hardly know how to
commence talking about that" To
which the Sheriff replied, "iou needn't
speak of it all. DO as you please about
it," And no answer was made to this,
the only interrogatory. Two or three
men whom our reporter took to be com
rades about the mines, now came for
ward and pressed the prisoners hand
and kissed him final adieu--three or
four others also came forward and shook
hands with him. The step-father, the
only representative H. the prisoners
familypresent. declined tc so forward
and bid him farewell.

The prisoner said that he had been IN
the habit of drinking for the past seven
or eight years, and attributed to this
habit all the troubles which had come
upon him; that when sober he was
agreeable and friendly to all was indus
trious and energetic, and received good
wages-Sl5 wcek-which was enough
to support himself and family quite
comfortably.
