About HOcdel's Execution.
NEW YORK, August 17th.-The
Tibune's Berlin special says of the
execution of Hoedel. He received
the announcement at first stolidly,
but afterwards betrayed great agi-
tation. Some difficulty had been
experienced in obtaining an execu-
toner. 1t is reported that the man
who at last accepted the task is q
respectable butcher of Berlin.
When conducted to the place OF
execution HOedel .trembled, his
countenance was ashy. The exc
cution was very quietly done. He
was made to kneel down, when the
executioner raised an immense
double-handed sword and the head
fell upon the scaffJld. 1t is re-
ported that the execuLloner refused
any reward.
Speculation ab,ut the German
Assnss.ns.
LONDON, Aug. 1.-THE attempt.
ell assassination of the Russian
Chief of Police is the subject Of
comment here. The theory is ad-
vanced that it was the work OF
secret societies, and was in retalia-
ton for the execution of Hoedel at
Berlin yesterday morning. A
bond of sympathy is said to
exist between the secret societies
Of Russia, Germany and France,
and the fact that Heedel's sentence
was to be carried out was known
at st. Petersburg this morning. II
is said that both Hoedel and Nobel.
ing, who 10 soon to meet Hoedeps
fate, are believed to have been in
association with Russian societies.
H"s dsi's Execution.
Before the execution, Hoedel
asked for wine for supper, and
drank to the Commune and the
leaders of the Social Democracy
When the sentence was read on the
scaffold, he spat disdainfully and
cried, Bravo" He refused the
ministrations of n chaplain,
declaring them useless, as II
would take years to convert him.
Leading persons, Including officials,
Judges, police and twelve citizens
attended the execution, which Is
generally approved. An official
notice of the execution has bear
posted throughout the city as q
warning. 1t required but a single
stroke of the axe to decapitatt
Hoedel. The remains were imme'
diately buried.
