Nina Muller Avenged-Her Murderer's Last Day on Earth-The Execution. JERSEY CITY, Jan. 6.-Martin Kinkowski, 1 the murderer of Nina Muller, was hanged in
 the county jail this morning Last night he
 was visited by his wife and two children, who
 remained from to II p. m When his wife
 rose to go she threw her arms wildly about
 him and broke out: "Oh! Martin, if you
 were guilty could bear this ordeal with for titude; but you say you are innocent, and
 am forced to believe you; for you would not tell me-your wife-a falsehood in the shad- ow of the gallows, at this last meeting.' Kinkowski raised his hand above his heads
 and cried aloud: My wife, I tell you before God, am an innocent man.'' Kinkowski swooned after her departure. He then went asleep and did not awake until aroused at 5 a.
 m. by Rev. MT. Maas. To his counsel, Jailer Allen and the attendants he constantly protested his innocence of the crime for
 which he was to suffer. At 9 o'clock letter
 was handed the murderer from Rev. A. J. Vonorst, Philadelphia Catholic priest, up-
 braiding him for changing his religion. He
 read it and said laughing, 1T am not going to change my creed now" A last message
 for reprieve was telegraphed Gov. Ludlow,
 who sent 8 refusal, which Kinkowski re- ceived stoically on the scaffold He said aloud, "God have mercy on me. I am inno- cent. God have mercy on them" His neck
 was broken upon the springing of the trap,
 and death was easy. His body was cut down after twenty minutes. The crime thus ex- plated was committed on May 3d. Kinkow- ski had formed the acquaintance of Nina l Muller the wife of cigar maker who had abandoned her husband. On the afternoon 1 of May 3d, under pretence of accompanying 1 her to Germany he induced her to go to ] Union Bill to be married to him. The Rev. 1 Mir. Mabon performed the ceremony. Ten l days later her mangled body was found in & l thieket in the woods at Guttenburg. The
 most conspicuous of her garments were hid den beneath heavy rocks. Kinkowsk was 1 traced by the discovery of Rhine wine bot l tie near the body, and arrested on May 19. l The State proved robbery as his motive. He was sentenced November the 9th to be hanged, and to-day the sentence of the law was carried out.
