Tonight is Dolan's last night on earth
He was visited by three deputies, who
searched his oil as 10 customary In case Of
condemned criminals, he protested hotly
and threatened violence, but finally became
calm. Tumbler, bottles and other articles
were removed. He was again visited by
three sisters of mercy, and listened atten
lively to hereligious consultations which they
offered. His mother and sister were with
him several hours and also his young wife
The three women wept and moaned BY
turns, and presented pitiful spectacle, Ol
grief. Dolan expressed some solitude about
his wake and burial, he asked one of the
deputies to attend to the matter and make
it as decent as possible. Even yet he some
times expresses slight hopes that the Gov
ernor may relent at the last moment, and
commute the death sentence. He shows no
signs Of flinchinG, however. Warden Fin
lev says he is the coolest of all the muir
derers he ever had in charge. He sleeps
well, eats heartily and smokes great deal
He says he has nothing upon his mind to
trouble him, except as to what is to be-
come of his mother and poor wife, even the
letter received from the Governors Secre-
tary, this morning, announcing that Tilden
still declined to interfere, did not appear to
disturb Dolan's composure. The execu-
ton of Dolan will probably take place
soon after o'clock A. NJ. Ns-N l.

Dolan's counsel this evening sent the fol-
lowing dispatch to Gov. Tnden.
Hon. 8. j. TnDEN, Gov.

Dolan's counsel stated this evening that
he has strange impression to the effect
that Dolan will not be hanged tomorrow;
he visited Dolan shortly after receiving the
Governors answer. r s>E'a %.G
The character of the new evidence, ifany,
is not known, but it may possibly have
some relation, to, report that woman
named Martin heard . conversation be-
tween one named Thompson, Dolan and
third man, regarding pawning of,a watch.
The conversation took place shortly after
Noe was murdered. Whatever truth there
may be in the story, Dolan's counsel is
trying to find out. VA \
He visited him this evening; he was eat
ing Strawberries which had been given him
by the Sisters of charity; his counsel in
formed him of his last and fruitless attempt
to move the Governor to clemency, but the
news of his i'll success produced no visible
effect upon Dolan; he thanked his lawyer,
however, for his efforts.
