The Execution.

On Friday evening last, Henry Wash
irgton, the condemned murderer, paid with
! his life the penalty of his crime The de-
| tails of the murder of Mr.. Hill, by the
| negro Washington, are we'll known to our
readers, and need not again be mentioned.
The murderer was tried and convicted at
the July term of the Circuit Court, and
sentenced to be hung in September last.
An appeal was taken to the Supreme Court,
which refused to reverse the sentence, and
fixed Friday, December 81, as the day for
the execution. Subsequently an attempt
was made to have the death sentence COM
muted to life imprisonment, but the Gov
ernor, having satisfied himself by person al
investigation and by other means in his
power, Of the justice of the sentence, refused
to interfere The condemned man did not
entirely lose hope until few days before the
time appointed for the execution, and dur
ing the few days that interviewed, he SEEM
ed much distressed and broken. Dur
ing his confinement, he was attended by
Rev. DR.. Tucker, who was with him
throughout the day (Friday), and ac-
companied him on the scaffold. In the Jail
he made full confession of guilt, and ac-
knowledged the justice of his punishment.
As early as o'clock an immense crowd
had gathered around the Jail, some in tree
tops, on roofs of neighboring houses,
and every place that would command
utilized by the eager throng. The
crowd at the gates clamored for admission,
| which, up to a few moments before the con.
demned was led out from the jail, was re-
| fused by the Sheriff. At 3 o'clock, the
gates were opened, and the crowd admitted.
Perfect order was preserved inside the en-
closure. There was not long to wait, for in
ten minutes after the gates were opened,
Henry Washington was led from the Jail to
the scaffold. He betrayed not the least
sign of fear or emotion, and made no reply
to the question, whether or not he had any
| thing to say before dying. He knelt in
prayer for a few moments, and upon rising,
the black cap was placed over his head and
face by Sheriff Morrison, the word was given,
the drop sprung, and the lifeless body oil
Henry Washington was next seen hang
ing from the scaffold. In two minutes
life was extinct, and after two or three
convulsive struggles, no sign of life wa'
visible. In twenty-five minutes, Drs
Craft and Harrington assembled the scaffold,
aud pronounced him dead. The body was
then taken down, and the neck, it wa
discovered had been broken by the fall, SC
that death must have been instaneous and
painless
