His effort to sing the foregoing lines
was pitiable. In the third stanza he
broke down completely, and the conclud-
inc one was finished only by heroic ef-
fort his utterances between sebs and hys-
terioal cries being unintelligible. This
concluded the prearransed exercises, and
the culprit took his place on the death
trap.
One of the Jail guards now stepped for
ward and bound the criminal legs, while
another adjusted the moose and pulled
the black. cap over his face, Guiteau dur
ing these preparations standing notion
less and with closed eyes. Everything
being now in readiness for fulfilling the
sentence of the law, Mr.. Hicks knelt on
the platform in silent prayer. Guiteau
cried ont in loud voice, "Glory, glory,
glory, glory" Gen. Crocker raised a
white handkerchief as signal to the ex-
ecutioner who was concealed from view
in one OF the cells of :he jails adjoining
the scattold. The trap swung open with
dull thud, and Guiteau was launched
into eternity.
The noise made by the falling trap in

GUS to the scaffold that the execution had
taken place, and prolonged cheer was
given by the prisoners, which was taken
up with increased volume by the thous-
ands who had assembled on the outside
of the jail Beyond slight muscular
twitching, there was no movement OF the
assassin's body after the fatal fall, and
death was undoubtedly instantaneous.
After hanging for 40 minutes, the body
was lowered into a coffin, removed to the

have been selected to make the autopsy.
Before removal to the chapel, those pres

sected.
The chapel is spacious apartment, de-
void of furnishing, save few benches
and tables. The coffin was placed upon
a bench, and the body was removed and,
after having been stripped, was laid upon
table. Scales and other apparatus for
examining the different parts of the body
were placed about on the tables. The
operations of the three surgeons engaged
in the autopsy were watched with the
greatest interest by the others, who
crowded about the table. After the ex-
animation of the eyes, the brain was re-
moved and inspected. Then the body
was cut open and thorough and CON-
plete examination made, with the view
of determining all the physiological facts
that could be of interest in connection
with the case.
