LONDON, Dec. 1.-THE usual inquest
upon the body of O'Dsnnell showed the
face bore calm expression. The head
was quite loose from the trnnk. The
rope made deep indention in his neck.
The usual verdict was rendered.
Binns, the hangman, was good humor-
sdly. mobbed by crowd when leaving
Nswgate prison. He afterward
drove away in government
postal van to escape observation.
The Press association denies the Central
News story that the police had informa-
ton shat body of Invincibles had sailed
frvm New York in the steamer Assyrian
Monarch, to attempt to rescue -O'Donnsn
or avenge his death. The search for the,
steamer to-day was in accordance with the
regular practice of the police upon the
arrival of any steamer.
The friends of O'Donnell continued
their efforts to obtain meeting of the
jurymen who convicted him until late ON
Saturday night, when eight of them had
been found. It was impossible to trace
the other four, and the friends of the con-
demnsd man were compelled to abandon
the search. Five of the jurymen were
aRxasus to have meeting of the jury.
THE EXECUTION.
ODonnells brother, who occupied
doorway opposite the prison in view of
the flagstaff upon which his eyes were riv-
eted, was the object of the deepest inter
est. The crowd pressed so closely en- him
that the police had to interfere for his pro-
lection. When the black flag was hoisted

minutes apparently praying, and his fea-
lures were working convaisively. He
stayed in the same spot some time after
the execution, and to the people lingering
around, said in hoarse voice: "My poor
brother; he has died as bravely as man
ever died" This was received with cries
Of Yes" He then departed and the crowd
dispersed. O'Donnell retired at an early
hour last evening and this morn
ing rose promptly and took a good
breakfast shortly after 5. At 6 Father
Fleming arrived and ne received the pris-
oner's last communication ard admins
tered the holy sacrament. a few minutes
before a. m, the prisoner was removed
from his Cell TO the large room of the
prison, escorted by the wardens. In the
large room were stationed Binns, the
hgngman, the shoriffs and 'undsr eheriffs,
the governor of the jail, tae Rev. Mr..
Duffieid, prison chaplain aud Newgate
surgeon. The process of pinioning his
limos was quickly performed by Binns,
ODonneli keeping q resolute silence and
showing the most frmness, occasionally
smiling as il in half abstracted manner.
This work being done the procession
moved to the court yard, whore was the
scaffold. O'Donneil declined any assist
aace from the werdens IN ascending the
scaffold. Father Fleming was by his side,
repeated the service of the church
for the dying and held the cruciix before
O'Donnelps gaze. The prisoner took
his place on the drop under the rope, the
slack of which was held up over his head
by piece of thread. Blnns appeared
very calm and quickly fitted the moose
around O'DoAnelps neck, carefully placing
the knot under his left ear. He at once
stepped back and pulled the fatal lever.
ODonnell fell eight feet. The rope hardly
quivsred, and according to the surgeon,
death was instantaneous, there being
scarcely any muscular movement of the
hanging form. As the black flag was run
up those in the prison eould hear hushed
murmur from the multitude outside. The
body hung one hour, when it was cut down
and removed for the proper legal iu-
quest.
