The Execution of Noah lIsrrlmau-stOry Of
the OEIm0.

BELLEYILLE, LIS, Jan. l5.-Noah IL
Meriman, the condemnedWife murderer,
after passing the morning In bidding his
friends goodbye, took up the march to the
RalloWI at ll;2O o'clock, He was support
ed by his spiritual adviser, and Deputy
Sheriff, Upon the gallows Msrriman was
calm until just as Sheriff Ropinquet was
about to spring the trap, when he broke
down completely, and, limp as a rag, had
to be supported by several deputies, The
trap was sprung, whilst they held the
trembling wretch up, and he tumbled
through. The fall failed to break his
neck, and he suffered a horrible death by
Btrangulation,
The murder for which Noah Merriman
suffered the death penalty was that OF his
wife, Mamie, which occurred at Bslleville
shortly after noon on the 10th OF April,
1885. Merriman went to his house on
Jackson street between II and l2 O'Clock
in the morning, and not tinding his wife
at home, went shortly after to the house
OF Ann jameson, on High street, In search
OF her, finding her there, He accused her
Of inconsistency, and with cohabitinR with
various men, and threatened to kill her,
She, becoming frightened, ran out the
back door, Noah running after her. His
wife ran around the house to the FROM
gate, and Just as she was opening 1t, Noah
picked up brick and hit her in the back
OF the head, rendering her temporarily
unconscious. While she lay on the ground
he took out his revolver from his hip
pocket and shot her In the back near the
ninth rib, the ball passing 80 close to her
heart that she died In a few moments,
Alter Noah shot his W 70, he stood and
looked at her Tor q moment, and then
made motion to strike her, but finally
finished up his CeWardly work by ad-
ministering to the dead woman several
kicks. He then cody walked of down
the street and departed from Bslleyille, in
q southerly direction and wandered |
around In the woods close to the city for
several days, begging his meals at adja-
cent farms. He finally made his way to
ILL.,, about % miles from the
city, stayed there few days and then
wandered back 10 Belleville with the OBJ
iect Of delivering himself up, but changed
his alRd and started out again TO the
AuerlCaA Bottoms in Monroe county,
6here he had been raised, and after a
itop ot q few days In the Bottoms, made
his way n East Carondalet, and from
here across the river to Missouri; where
1e was captured about three weeks alter
he murder.
Noah had previously killed his uncle,
EN- years prior TO this occurrence, hitting
aim over the head with spade In quar-.
'el, but he was acquitted after protracted
litigation, his father expending great
leal Of money in the defense. He was
ried and sentenced for the murder OF his

A Prolonged Conference,

LONDON, January l5.-Lord salisbury's
prolonged stay at the Osborne House has
attracted universal attention among the
politicians. All day yesterday his official
residence In Downing street was thronged
by Cabinet Ministers, Under Secretaries
and other important officials, many OF
whom had called to iulAll appointments
personally made by the Premier. No in.
formation could be obtained as to his
movements until late In the afternoon,
when q dispatch was received from Os.
borne which stated that the Premier would
return to London in time to preside at the
Cabinet Council summoned to meet at
2;30 r. N. to-day. 1t Is known that his
chief object In waiting upon the Queen ut
this time was to obtain Her Majesty's con-
sent to the suspension Of the Lord Lieu
tenancy OF Ireland. His long detention
at Osborne caused a rumor which found
It's way into the evening papers that the
Queen had refused to allow the ViCeroy-
atty to remain vacant on the ground that
her Imperial Office would thus be shorn
OF some Of It's state and consequence. This
rumor Is probably untrue, for Lord Sails.
bury would not have allowed his plans to
become public il he had not been assured
OF the Queens acqulescence.

"The talk with reference to the Dolphin

that were made by the Examining Board

and showed substantially what points
were unsettled. II we can Rg'ee on a

would have conf tencs in 10 make another
