Probably by the time this letter
reaches you, or at least before many of
your readers have seen it, the assassin
Guileau will have atoned, so far as his
miserable life "a atone, the great
crime of a year ago. All efforts in his
behalf, of whatever kind, have proved
~unavailiug and he must goto settle the
account with the God he claims to
serve. 1t is not yengence or even full
rrtribution, but it is tardy justice ac-
cording to the law. Preparations for
the execution are all complete. Several
inventors of appliances for hanging
came here with hopes of having their
appa! atas used, but in every case they
are turned away. The fact is, that the
scaffold now st the Jail is sufficient for
the purpose. A man from Cleveland,
Ohio, came to the Jail lately with what
he called an improved seaffold. His in
vention was examined as a matter of
accommodation to him, but was not
found to be possessed of any superiority
to the ordinary scaffold. One of the
recommendations to the Cleveland scat

has been streached until it is now Of
but thr g -fourt.s size, and is forty-six
feet long 1t is as soft and pliable as
il can be made. After having been
laid out, the ends We're firmly bound
with twine and the knot astied. This
is a model hangman's knot, being as
compact as possible. Ithas six turas
