NEWARK, Jan. 3.-The prison usher,
before daybreak this morning, preparatory
to the double hanging Of Robt. Martin and
James B. Graves, took the prisoners
10 the east corridor for breakfast at an early
hour and Immediately took them to the 9TH

witnessing the execution. Rev. NJ Wood,
Martins spiritual adviser, arrived at s
O'Clock. Phe police stretched ropes across
the streets surrounding the Jail to keep

arrived at the jail at 3

10 o. CLOCK the sberiff gave the signal TO start
for the gallows. Martin and the clergy

was firm to the end. The drop fell at 1927
m. Meantime Graves was the subject OF
much attention. He was CRYING like
child, and 1t appeared almost
certain that he would have to be cared
from bed to the gallows. Martins body
was cut down after hanging twenty minutes,
and the scaffold got ready for the execution

Martin died in great agony, his arms
having been improperly pinioned, he
raised his left and nearly caught the rope
He struggled wildly for nearly minutes.
The rope slipped aud he strsnged TO death.
Graves peIsistently refused to avow his be.

From his talk 1t appears he is an infdel in
the widest sense of the word. He has no
friends and little sympathy In Newark.
Warden johnson repeated the stat ement
that the physicians have pronounced Graves
perfectly sane. The drop fell on
Graves at HOAX. Graves was dragged
bodily down the stairs BY two stalwart men
and be moaned and cried and stopped so
that his face could not be seen. After the
drop fell, he died Instantly without 4
