the home club and the splendid pitching of both
Murphy and Porter. IL was Murphy's first day
IN the box for three weeks, and, being out of
practice, he was little wild, sending four men
to first base on called balls. otherwise his pitch
ing was almost phenomenal, striking five men
out, and having a total of nineteen strikes
called off his delivery, while but seven safe hits
were registe ed against him. Porter's pitching
was equally good. men striking out, and but
five hits being made off of him. Peopless SPLEEN

and DOrgans excellent work in right field were
appreciated by the 600 people who witnessed the

in all the varieties Of preparations. re-
porter of the MORNING News called upon
several oyster dealers in the city 10 see If
the maladY had struck the oysters in our
own waters, and was Informed that
no such report had come under
their observation concerning the bivalves
in the beds on the Georgia and South

believe that no reports concerning dis

About ) O'Clock Rev. j. j. Andrew, his
spiritual adviser, came. This gentleman
had been unremitting in his visits to the
unfortunate man. and his mlnlstrat0ns
had very salutary influence on the mind
and heart of the prisoner. Later he was
photographed by Mr.. o. T. HaVens.
THE SPECTATORS.
Early in the morning numbers Of people,
including white and colored, young and
old. began to congregate in groups in the
vicinity Of the jail, and by . O'Clock
number of gentlemen had taken seats on
the Jail steps. where they anxlOusly
awaited permission to interview the pris
oner and to obtain a position near the
scafIold, in the Jail enclosure. The main
entrance to the Jail was guarded by Con-
stable WetherhOrn and members OF the
prison guard, who permitted only
those to enter who had passes
from Deputy Sheriff Franklin or
We're recognized as physicians,
lawyers, journalists, or city Or conn
ty officers. Later IN the forenoon.
however. after the gate leading into the
ward on the east side of the Jail was
opened and two sets of guards were en-
trusted with the duty Of keeping the
thrOng on the outside OF the enclosure,
quite a number of persons having cards
gained admission at the gate VINO had not
been allowed to pass through the JAN, 50
that by IL O'Clock about two hundred per-
sons had taken a stand near the scaffold,
or lounged about on the grass beneath
the fig trees.
HE RECEIVES THE COMMUNION.
Meanwhile. Rev. J. J. Andrew, rector
of st. stephens Church, Rev. Charles
Wright Freeland. and members Of the
cOlored Episcopal Church, assembled at
the prisoners cell. where the condemned
received the holy communion. The ser
vices were very impressive, and We're
greatly appreciated by the prisoner, VINO
seemed to feel the gravity of his situation.
Soon after the jail attendants brought
the unfortunate man a hearty breakfast,
consisting of dozen rice birds, an allow
ance Of hominy and bread and cup Of
coffee The repast was eaten with
relish, and appeared to give the prisoner
renewed strength to face the terrible
ordeal which awaited him. lie was called
upon by Capt. George Hussey, DIR. Bulloch,
the jail physician. and others who met in
the corridor outside the cell In his con-
versation with visitors and attendants
Wallace showed that he felt that the time
for considering worldly matters had
passed, but he took the opportunity TO
leave a few verbal messages for acquaint-
ances, and to express his attachment for
the Jailer, Mr.. Goebel, and other officials
who had kindly treated him during his
long confinement. At 1926 O'Clock he
sent to the MORNING NEWS reporter
HIS ONLY WRITTEN STATEMENT.
Savannah morning news. [volume] (Savannah) 1868-1887, 1883-09-29

The prisoner changed the dress he wore
Tor a new suit of clothes consisting OF
black cloth pants, a white vest, black
alpaca coat, white socks and pair of
morocco slippers, and then devoted the
greater part of his last hour in jail to con-
yersation ON religious subjects with Rev.
J. J. Andrew, who gave him spiritual adj
vice and consolation.
FROM THE PRISON TO THE GIBBET.
At 1920 the iron door opening from
the corridor into the Jail yard was un-
locked and the prisoner, with his arms
piniOned, passed out, accompanied by
Deputy Sheriff Franklin and his spiritual
adviser, Rev. j. }. Andrew, followed by
Mr. Waring Russell. DIR. BullOch, and a
reporter of the MORNING NEWS, when
the door was speedily closed by Mr..
Jones, one of the prison guards. Wallace
stepped firmly and manfully forward, APP
parently needless of the crowd that
awaited his execution and the appearance
of the scaffold Immediately facing him.
THE GALLONS.
The gallows was about Is feet in height,
and was situated in the northeast corner
of the Jail enclosure. The two uprights
We're by 8 inches, and the cross piece 4
by . inches, and strengthened in its pO-
sitiOn by two braces. each measuring by
4 inches. The trap was feet in length
and ) feet wide, constructed in two sec
tons, opening downward at their line of
contact across the centre, and each held
on the outside line by two large hinges.
A brace, to which was attached a
rope, held the platform in position
until the fatal signal should
be given. This structure was enclosed
on three sides by high fence Of rough
old boards twelve feet long. fastened to
four uprights about sixteen feet in length
and three by five inches thick. The steps
led to the platform from the north or
open side of this enclosure. The following
