IeuIs That Taylor VIII Cause Trouble at

PHILADELPHIA, July lion Thursday
morning next the ga!lows at Moyamensing
Prison will receive Joseph Taylor, the mur,
Gerer Of Keeper Doran in the Eastern Peni-
..r,iarg. TIE officials upon whom the duty
falls Of executing thr death penalty have no
dea that anything will intervene TO save
the condemned man, and the preparations
iii 5e made tor he full compliance with
he Law on that day. The application OF
lawyer Shapley for reprieve, based on the
fteory of Taylor's insanity, has been for
varded to the Governor; but as tn Board
Of Pardons has already declined to inter
fere, it is hardly likely that this last move
ment in the prisoners behalf will prove et-
tectusl
TAYLOR continues utterly indifferent 10 his
fate, and at times INDUCES in such fits OF
violence as to cause much concern. The
Sheriff officials greatly fear that force will
have to be employed in transferring Taylor
from his cell to the scsttold. At the best
the dury is very disagreeable one, anu
should the murderer prove obstreperous al
the last hour, very exciting and paintu!
scene may be looked for.
Directions have been given to the prison
authorities to provide every means al their
disposal Tor meeting any such contlngen-
cies, and should the worst come to pass.
Taylor will BE- bound hand and foot and car
ried to the place OF execution. The one
thing that is particularly thrc atening is
Taylor refusal to listen to spiritual advice
He will not permit clergyman to enter hi
cell. Father Clancy, OF the Church of the
Annunciation. besought him in vain to &C
cept the services OF himself or some other
minister. The only reply Taylor would
give was that he would be glad to meet
Father Clancy at any time as visitor, but
not as clergyman He has steadily per
sisted in this. while in many other ways h
has led the prison authorities 10 believe tha
he will be most difficult 20 manage wheu
