There was no struggling or wr1thlng Cox body swayed slightly from side to side with the motion caused by the rope. lie raised his left forearm slightly about three minutes after the drop fell, but this was the only mo- tion observed. After the body had been hanging for about four minutes it was lowered that the doctors present might watch the beating of the pulse. Four minutes after the drop fell there was a slight pu1sation at the wrist, and the puisa- tion at the heart was 126. Five minutes later there was no pulsation at the wrist and at the heart the pufsation was 12O. Fifteen min utes after the drop fell pulsatlon at the heart was 48 to the minute, and one minute later, or at nine minutes of 9 o'clock, the heart was still, and Chastine Cox was pronounced dead by the doctors. The body was allowed to hang for five minutes longer, and was then lowered into handsome rosewood coffin with silver mounting. Coroner Herman then held the official inquest and 1t was found that the neck of the murderer had been dislocated, not broken, and that death had resulted from strangulation The race of the dead man was natural, and It was eVl- dent that death had been painless.
 Cox requested that the funeral services over his body should be held in MT. Cook s church in West Fifteenth street, and this re- quest will be complied with. The funeral will be held on Sunday morning. Cox also requested that his body should be forwarded to HIS 0lOGQer III h1CnHOuu, fd; DuI A1 ID not probable that this request will be grant ed. He will probably be buried by the con gregation of the Union American Methodist Episcopal church in some cemetery near this city. Mr. Cook said this morning that he would see to it that the body was properly buried.
 Balbo, who remained in his cell all the morning. was completely prostrated by the fate of Cox. He wept and prayed by turns and frequently said to the keeper 'sPcor Cox, he's going to be hanged" Although he did not express the fear in worlds the keepers say that he is terribly depressed and fears that he will share the same fate. He threw himself on his cot just before Cox was led out of prison and shut his cell door closely that he might not hear the tread of the procession as the prisoner, with the sheriff and his party, marched to the gallows. He refused to take any breakfast this morning, saying that it made him sick.
 Among the dozens who thronged the sher- ifs office in search of passes was a feeble old man, tall, spare and gray. He was dressed in sombre black, and his thin, long fingers nervous1y pinched the handle of an umbrella q want to see Sheriff Howe, he said. But that officer was not at hand. q should like to get two passes for the Tombs tomorrow I am Dr. Hull.'' ''The husband of Mrs Jane Hull?'' asked the astonished clerk "Yes' ''Whom do you want the passes for? ?'' Myself and friend The clerk assured him that all the passes had been given out, but as the Doctor persist ed in his desire he promised to see if any thing could be done for him. Twice did the old man move out of the noisy crowd of hu- man beings who were clamoring for the same thing as himself, and twice he returned to the clerks window Then he was told that it would be impossible to supply him. He turned reluctantly and passed from the Broad way entrance of the court house. About two hundred passes to witness the execution were given from the sherif's office, and double the number would not have satisfied the de- mands of the morbid.
