THE EXECUTION OF SAMUEL BEIGHLIY,
Jon Wednesday afternoon last At eight
minutes past one o'clock precisely, Samuel
Bsighley, young man only about twenty
years of age, paid the extreme penalty Of
fhe law in the corridor of the Jail At G reens-
burg fer tho brutal murder, on the 30th of
November last, of an old man named Joseph
Kerr, resident of Franklin township
Westmsreland county, and a shoemaker by
trade, for whom he laid in wait in a build
ing separate from the family residence in
which the murdered man worked and fire.
quently slept, and after striking him on the
bead with n billet of wood, cut his throat
from ear to ear with a shoe-knife. The muir
derer had to he literally carried to the gal
lows, the well sustained fortitude which
served him well throughout his trial and
subsequent incarceration having failed him
in the last terrible extremity. He was at
tended by Revs. Love and Moorehead a.
spiritual advisers, the former of whom read
from the scaffold long statement which had
been prepared by the condemned man, and
which set forth the full particulars of the
crime for which no was about to be execu-
ted. Beighley is also said TO have confessed
TO the murder of Lizzie Mess, near Salts
burg, Indiana county, several months ago
but whether he did or did not acknowledge
that crime in his dying statement it does
not seem possible to understand from tho
report Of the execution in the Johnstown
Tribune, which arst denies and then affir,ns
that his confession included an acknowl-
edRmeut Of that offensc. Be that as it may
it is very generally believed that young
Beighley was the murderer of poor Lizzie
Mess, and that while paying the penalty of
one murder he was in reality expiaticg for
the commission of at least two horri ble deeds
of blood. After tho reading of the statement,
Sheriff Guffey asked the doomed man If he
had auy,hing further TO say, and ON recsiv
ing reply in this negative, the black cap
was adjusted the signal given, the trap
sprung. and Samuel Beighley was launched
into eternity. After hanging twenty-five
minutes the attending ph Y ysicians announced
that life was extinct, whereupon his body
was cut down and delivered to his friends
for intermept.
