Noted Murderers Hanged.

NEW ORLEANS, March 12.-At 1880 A. II
to-day when the keeper vent to call Ford
and Murphy, who were to hang to-day FOL
the murder OF Captain Murphy, committed
in December, 1884, he could not rouse
them. Physicians were hastily called. and
pronounced the men under the influence
Of belladonns. Every effort was made to
restore them to consciousness. At IL
o'clock Murphy had rallied a little. but
Ford was still unconscious. The crime for
which Ford and Murphy are to be hanged
ia without 8 parallel in history. The high
position of the accused and those asso'
ciated with them, the boldness and auda'
city of the crime itself, and of the opinions
OF political and financial influences
brought to bear to retard and divert jus.
tice, made the trial q duel between, the
State and the defendants. The central
figure in the tragedy was Judge Thomas j.
Ford, late Recorder OF the city OF New Or
leans. and now serving 120 years sentence
in the Peniten.iary for the part he played
IN the murder. Ford, the condemned man,
is 9 brother of the Judge, and Murphy was
an officer OF Judge Ford's COURT The
| trial showed that Judge Ford, his brother
and five officers Of his court were impli-
Gated in the murder.
At 12:A0 O'Clock the Sheriff, accompanied
by several subordinate officials, proceeded
TO the cell of the condemned, where the
bodies OF the doomed men still lay appar-
emily ~lifeless. Under a physicians care
the forms were carefully lifted from their
recumbent positions and borne in the arms
Of the agitated deputies to the scaffold
amid profound silence. The CHASTITY bodies
were carried up the steps to the plank OF
the horrible platform and held in erect po-
sitions, while the fatal nooses were drawn
over and around their necks. No sign OF
life was observed in either of the men.
When the las. sad rights had been per-
formed and the trap was sprung by an un.
seen hand and the bodies were launched
into eternity a hush fell upon the little
group of unwilling spectators.
