Hanging Without HEROES.

Our esteemed contemporary, the Times,
commenting on the approaching execution
of DOIAS, remarks that "neXt to certain
~ Of this kind OF punishment, nothing
renders 1t as productive of good Us 10 with
hold all opportunity for the display Of
criminal heroics."
All attempts TO make executions strictly
secret have failed. The number of specta
tors may be limited, but in some way or
other the full particulars will get before
the public, and be read by countless thou
sands with surprising avidity. 1t is useless
to make light of the craving for such in
telligencc by pronouncing it morbid. Nor
bid II may be, but 1t is innate in human
nature; and il is surprising how accurate
ly Informed of every detail OF an execu-
ton you viii find cultivated people, who
never read such things." The Times it
self recognizes the pressing demand for
news of this kind; for in the very number
which expresses the wish that DoLAN's ex-
ocution may take place " without any pub
Lefty" there is nearly full column of
matter entitled "A Murderer's History"
being full particulars of the criminal ca
reer OF JOHN DoLAN.
One advantage OF imprisonment Tor life,
rs punishment, over hanging, is that
there is no feature of romance about it,
and no element of exciting interest in it.
II is dun us well rs dreadful.
The writer in the Times publishes an ani-
davit and some other add tional evidence
obtained by police officers going TO estab-
lish DoLAN's guilt Surely we are not to
understand, ii is to be hoped, that such
evidence as this has been laid before the
Governor, and that he has received it. If
testimony taken &c pdrte subsequent TO
the trial, is to be considered by the EXecu-
tive, and 10 weigh with him in favor of an
execution, then we have arrived at "A
method of administering criminal law I'm
capital cases which may well cause the ut
most alarm.
The Times shows up, at considerable
length, the very bad character of the
women who gave the most important tes-
timony against DOLAN, seemingly forget
full that il is a rule of law that such women
are only to be believed SO far II, they are
corroborated by better evidence, either
direct or circumstantial.

ccived the watch which turned out to

guished gentleman, intelligent and cul-
uvatcd, who comes TO the United States
TO see and study the working of our institu-
tons, but not to make royal progress
through the country amid the ndulatlon OF

Ii is a great thing TO know when to leave a

The gentlemen who assembled at DEL

they can bore him nigh to death, SO that

fer him TO call upon them for such assist

warning from the ball to the Prince of

that ball when one of the eray-haired

led him about rs his astouishcd CAPTIVE,
must be remembered by everybody who

of robbery and murder would be likely to
invoke the aid of another criminal in dis
posing of IL rather than to incur a
very much greater risk by selling
it himself. Thus in London. only few
days ago, two men were convicted at the
same time; one had violently seized n
watch from the person OF n stranger, aud
the other had taken The watch directly to
n pawnbroker's and pledged il.
The defect in DoLANs explanation lies
in his failure TO fix with certainty, or
even with much dcnniteuess or proba-
bility, the identity of the person who, as
he alleges, handed him tho watch. This
omission is very striking in his recent
appeal TO the Governor. We do not know
who drew that up, and the deficiency may
possibly be the fault of the writer. Con-
sdering DoLAN's unhappy aud forlorn
condition, it would not be fair to hold him
responsible for this omission without first
calling his attention to 1t. But IL is re-
narkablc that his letter to the Governor
contains no mention of the name of the
person from whom he received the watch.
He deplcres, or affects to deplore, the fato
of poor Mr.. NOE, and assevcratcs that he
would not be guilty OF such n crime. All
this cannot avail him. His character has
been too bad for such assertions from him
to carry any weight with them. But, on
the other hand, counsel who have no bet
ter Judgment than TO I'LL his letter with
idle protestations of the impossibility of
his guilt, would also be liable to overlook
and to omit something OF vital importance.
IA fhpTntnYp i'm In Of fu
louieucy due to n condemned man. call the
attention of DoLAN TO this one point ON
which alone he can hang even IA forlorn
hope: Can he giUe name bB Which the
man 1pho, as nc says, handed him the iOdtch,
trds knotcn 10 others, and can he name
other credible persons tCho iril say they
knciC such q mdnf
1t matters not what other crimes DoIAN
may have committed, he can only he
hanged for the murder of Mr.. NOE. Bad
~ his reputation Is, we have taken an in
terest in his behalf because we thought he
did not have the benefit of such u trial ms
should be vouchsafed TO every man
charged with n capital offence; because
several of the principal witnesses against
him were not entitled, uncorroborated, to
be believed; and because there was an in
nate probability in the theory that the
watch would be sold by some one other
than the murderer.
But IL must be plain now that DoLAN' s
last and only chance is in strengthening
his explanation rs to the person who gave
hun the watch. II there is In reali ty, any
such person, some circumstances can be
stated by DoLAN to place the fact beyond
q reasonable doubt. IL is not necessary
that the man should be Immediately found |;
but he could not have been in New York
at the time, and been seen by DoLAN, with
out having been seen by others also. This
Is what DoLAS has TO clear up, otherwise
we apprehend there is no chance OF his
doom being changed.
