Going to Death without a Friend

We doubt that any man ever went
irou the gibbct to meet bis God will
US few mournc.s as poor Stephen
Brinklcy, who expiatcd his crime on
the gullOws at Newman last Friday.
On the day that he committed tic MUIR
der it took tho combined efforts Of The
law.abiding citizous and the police to
save him from IN avcnging mob, who
had already cut tho rope, and made
other preparations for lYuching. When
it became known that Peter +. Smith,
Esq one of the best lawyers in New
man, had consented 10 defend the pris-
Ycner, be was threatened with violence.
Whom Governor Smith, about yeas
ago, granted him a short respite, on
moro than sufficient grounds, howl Of
iRdi gnatior was raised il Cowcta, tic
like Ct which has not been heard siuco
he refused to commute Miss Ebbcrhort.
4 fHw days before the execution at the
earnest solicitation OF friend
from distance, some twelve or
fifteen pTOmincn: citizens of Cow.
eta county agreed TO wait upon
Gov. CO!Quitt in person and make an
appeal for executive clcmcncy, but
their purpose heirs made known, there
was such a manifest disposition ex.
pressed by the mass Of the people that
ali except one or two Of them abandon
Ol the tyir.
On the day Of the execution there
was scarcely mourncr in Newman.
Ills children we're sent to Tennessee,
where they will be provided for u bis
brothers. Nore Of bis friends fron a
distance were present. p. +. Smith
left the city in the morning to avoid
the execution. The crowd about the
s'llOws was as full Of gaycty as a pic
mic excursion, and as Brinkley was
swung into eternity some one Of the
multitude cried out in spirit Of lcYity,
"GOol.by, Stephen :"
One Of his last requests was that he
SHOULD not be buried i'll Georgia soil.
Once on being asked ii he had the
thing to do over would he kill his wife.
lie replied, mot III Georgia" A
few days before his iguominious death,
he requested the physicians to shave
lis head and examine the skull, to
satisfy his friends Of his insanity, but
they persuaded him that it was useless
as no good could be accomplished by it.
At another time lie requested that q
post.mo'tem examination be made Of
bis head, and after cleansing it that
the skull be given to his local attorney,
P. y, Smith. THIS request he after.
wards revoked. Up 10 next to the last
DAY he altered bis conviction that God
would not let an insane man die on the
gallOws and that he would be saved au
ignominious dcath.-.it'antu Consti-
tuition.
