Joseph Taylor Expiotes Iris Crime Upon
the fsnIIOws.

PHILADELPHIA, July 10.-Josoph Taylor, the
murderer of Michael +. Doran, this morning
paid tribute with his life to tho vengeance OF
the law, at 1O.O3ib. For the nth time this year
has the gallows boon erected In the Philadel-
phla county prison. The drop was almost Ave
feet, and, as with those who had preceded him,
death ensued from suflocatlon. All signs Of
life were wanting twenty minutes after the
doors dropped from under the feot of the
doomed man. The summons to attend the OK
ecutlon designated 1880 A. NJ. sharp" as the
time for admission to the prison.
At 10 o'clock the assembled spectators formed
Into line and slowly marched across the open
court, through the blazing sunlight, into Superi
tendent Perkins office, where the Jurors were
sworn and the line was formed anew and filed
out into the corridor. The line halted as II
reached the open door OF the cell which Taylor
occupied. The condemned, with pallid counte
nance and staring eyes, supported ON either
side by Revs. Samuel Durborow and William s.
Heaton, stepped out TO the head. The process
sion resumed Its measured tread 10 the time o
the intoncd prayers by the clergymon.
The echo of the last "amen" from the lips Of
the clergyman had not yet died away when tho
bolt which allowed the body of the murderer 10
drop was drawn. The pulse was normal for six
minutes, when under the reaction II suddenly
shot up to 1870, and gradually fell until, In
twenty minutes after tho fall, ,ho was pronounced
dead by the prison physician.
The crime for which Taylor was hanged to-day
was the cold-bloodod murder Of Keeper Michael
+. Doran, at the Eastern Penitontlory, on tho
31st day OF May, 1854. Taylor was prisoner
In that institution. Keeper Waltormate had
opened his cell door In the morning, and placed
the iron bar which hud secured II against the
wall, nenr tho gate. When the time for closing
came, Keeper Dornn entered. Taylor pounced
upon him and crushed In his skull, beating his
brains out with the iron bar.
