STATE PRISON CoNvIcrs.-The Journal
says Wagner, in the State Prison, awaits
calmly his fate, with the full expectation
that the law will be executed upon him. |
His mind is not particularly of pious |
kind, but he thinks that after he Is gone |
the Almighty will cause the guilty indi- |
vidual TO come forth from his hiding place
and confess the dark deed. John Rogers !
of Brunswick, who thought that the Lord |
had missionary labor for him TO perform
down in the State Prison. aud thus caused |
him to be sent there, thinks that his mis-.
sion has ended, and is begging for execu.
tive clemency. that he may go into other
fields Of labor. |
