PAT FORD.
At noon yesterday a reporter called
at the Office of Attorney General
Cunningham. Mrs. Pat Ford was
there and appeared deeply affected.
In answer to a question Mr.. Cunning>
ham said: I know of no law which
can prevent the execution; the law, l
think, is silent on eventuality of sick
ness or self-poisoning of condemned.
The warrant has to be executed and
its staying is now purely matter of
sentiment. The attornsy,general then
remarked that his duty had been
done and he had nothing more to say
- E. a.
NEW ORLEANS, March 12.-The
States Batou Rouge special says the
Governor this morning received tele-
gram from Sheriff Butler, of Orleans
parish saying;
"Ford ahd Murphy attempted sui
eide this morning by taking poison;
are in stupor and cOmatose condition.
Doctors believe it failure, but cannot
say how long 1t will take to return
them to consciousness. Should they
not be revived previous to the hour
fixed, shall / execute the warrant not
withstanding?"
The governor replied:
ayes 60 on with execution; carry
out warrant"
THE EXECUTION.
At 12:40 o'clock yesterday morning
Sheriff Butler, accompanied by several
subordinate officials, proceeded to the
condemned cell where the bodies Of the
doomed lay still under the physicians
care. The apparently lifeless forms
were carefully lifted from their recum-
bent positions and borne in the arms
OF the agitiated deputies to the scaffold
amid profound silence. The CHASTITY
bodies were carried up the steps to the
plane of the horrible platform and held
in erect positions while the fatal nooses
were drawn over and around their
necks. No sign of life was observ-
able in either man when the last sad
rites had been performed, and when
the trap was sprung by an unseen hand
the bodies were launched into eternity
A hush fell upon the little group of
unwilling spectators, awful and heart.

FORD AND MURPHY EXPIATE
THEIR CRIME ON THE
GALLOWS.


city Tor the past week the scene Of
pageantry, Of display, Of Joy, Of pomp
and of ceremony, was yesterday sad
dsued by the execution of Patrick
Ford and John Murphy, convicted of
the murder Of A. 81. ("Csp") Murphy.
The firemen's procession, Mardi Gras,
the Mystic Krewe-all have given to
the Crescent City holiday cast, and
the people sought pleasure, and pleas
ure only.
But not SO with the two men, sitting
gloomily or walking solemnly in the
condemned cell at the parish prison.
Murphy had been nervous, exciiable
and irritable; Pat Ford has been calm
and peaceful as II looking forward to
N eternity Of rest. He bad lost dur.
ing the past week the agitation that
marked his conduct some time ago.
He talked without excitement, and no
tremor passed over him as he referred
ID the awful doom awaiting him.
"What is the talk outsider asked
Pat Ford Of the reporter of q city paper
and he was assured that public atten,
tion and interest had been absorbed in
the festivities Of the ssason.
"Oh!" said he. "Festivities-people
enjoying themselves while others suffer
the bitterest pangs of misery! NH God!
what was I ever created for?" :
Pat Ford asked, with no inconsid.
efable eagerness, with the reporters
opinion was as regards their chances
now. To answer this question was
anything but an easy task. No one
likes to deceive men.on the brink of
death, and yet 1t was almost cruel to
remind them that they must face
death, and that, too, so soon. Pat
Fordwas consoled by an application Of
the old adage, "While there's life,
there's hope' to which he murmured
AYES, you mean well, but in my
case there is left very little life and no
hope. Il am worn to a skele ton: 1
1sei xtltefnl to All my friends and those
who exsrted themselves in my behalf,
.Ifeel grateful to Gov. McEnery for his
executive interference: Ged bless

cause I know he will regret his action.
I saw. that man In my dreams, and I
could not believe that he would be 60
cruel. What will this avail anybody
What good will result? Oh, God
Think Of what 1t will entail upon my
family-poverty, misery and disgrace.
No one on earth knows the suffering
we endured the nights before the Par
doning Board met. Hanging would be
easy in comparison. 1t was hell on
earth."
The Rev. Father O'Callahan was
In attendance with the good Sisters OF
Charity, and the men were constant
and earnest listeners to the comforting
teachings of the holy people. The cell
contained a full supply of religious
articles, relics and books, aud the last
hours was spent in pious devotion.
At 1880 yesterday morning when
the Keepers made efforts to arouse Ford
and Murphy teey could not wake
them up. After an examination the
physicians concluded the men had

A Scientific fame.

Huxley has asked whether, if it
were perfectly certain that the life
and fortune of every one of US would
one day depend ON our winning a
game of chess, we should not all
learn something of the game. Yet
it is very plain truth that the life
and fortune of every one of US de-
pend on our knowing something of
the rules of a game infinitely more
difficult. It is a game which has
been played for untold ages, every
man and woman of us being one of
the two players. The chess board is
the world, the pieces are the phe.
nomena of the universe, the rules OF
the game are what we call the laws OF
nature. The player on the other
side is hidden from US. We know
that his play is always fair, just and
patient. But also we know, to oul
cost, that he never overlooks a mis-
take or makes the smallest allowance
for ignorance. To the man who
plays well the highest stakes are
paid with overlooking generosity, but
one who plays ill Is checkmated-
without haste, but without remorse.'

J. VI. DANIEL.


To the Editor OF tue Ledger.
PossUM WALK, WILSON TOWNSHIP,
AUpRAIs COUNTY, Mo-, April l2.-The
Democrats in the western portion of
the county are very much interested
in the Office of county Judge. We
want the judge elected from this
part of the county. We need some
improvements. We deserve them
and if J. NJ Daniel is elected we will
get them. We know of no man in
the county better fitted for this office
in every way. Where he is known
best he is best liked. He will never
go back on his constituents but will
see that his district is properly looked
after. He has no axe of his own to
grind, but will work for the good OF
the county. BY request of a large
number of voters he has consented
to run. With such men as he in Of
fee Audrain will grow, flourish ant
boom. The people of this portion
of tue district are solid for DAME
and think there is no better man 70
the place. He is representative il
every sense of the word.
DEMOCRAT.
