LONDON, Dec. IT. - O'Donnell was ! notified at 7:30 a m. to make ready.
 He was perfectly resigned and expressed great sorrow for his Outburst of temper
 at the Dock at the conclusion of bis trial He said he had felt the greatest ! animosity for witnesses who appeared
 against him, but it had now disappeared. He retired at an early hour last evening.
 This morning he arose promptly to eat a good breakfast shortly after five o'clock. | At six, Father Fleming arrived; he re- l eeiyed the prisoners last communica-
 tiOD, and administered holy sscrsments. A few minutes before eight o'clock tie prisoner was removed from his cell | to a large room oil the prison, escorted by the wardens; in the large room were stationed BinD, the hRngman, the sheriff and deputy sheriff and governor
 of the jail, Rev. Mir. Duffiell, prison chaplain, and the Newgste surgeon; the
 process of pinionIng the prisoners limbs
 together was quickly done by Binn, ODonnell keeping resolute, silent and occasionally smiliny, in half sbstracted manner. This work done the prisoner was moved to the court yard where the seatfold was; ODonnell declined any assistance, the vsrdens ascending the scRffold, Father Fleming by his side, repeated the service of the church for the dying man and held crucifx before ODonnell's gaze. The prisoner took hln hn1gi girsaa Heitdf sitdf np i5G over his head by piece of thread Binn appeared very calm, and quickly fixed the moose around the prisoners neck, carefully placing
 the knot under the left ear. He at once
 .l L N-k when ODOnnell fell eight feet. The rope hardly quivered; according to the surgeon, death was instantaneous, there being scarcely any muscular movement and hanging firm As the black flag run up those within could hear the murmur from the multitude outside. The body hung one hour, when 1t was cut down and removed for proper inquest. There were 2O,OOO persons near by, the streets were closely packed, but the throng Ob- served quiet and orderly demesnOr. The Irish element was not conspicuous. As
 the moment for the execution approached the crowd swayed up against the prison walls, and she road way, winch before had been kept clear, was blocked. The police, however, cleared the crowd away, when the black flag was hoisted and announced the tragedy was at an end. There was no demonstration, although suppressed ex- citement marked many faces. O'Don- nelPs brother remained to the last bit terly weeping in the center of a sympa- thizing group. He occupied the doorway opposite the prison, in view of the flag staff, upon which all eyes were riveted. He was the object of deepest interest, and the crowd pressed so closely upon him that the police had to interfere for his protection. When the black flag was hoisted he raised his hat and remained some min
 working painfully. He stayed at thes utes apparently praying. his features spot some time after the execution. To people lingering around he said Tn a hOarse voice, "My poor brother, be has died as bravely as man ever died" This
 was answered with cries of "Yes." He then departed and the crowd dissp- peared.
