attired, but his apparel was OF coar-
ser texture than that of the principal actor
In the double execution. At $50 Maxwell
and Landgraf sat down to their final meal
Each was served fried oysters fried eggs, hot
biscuits and pancakes with jelly, bread, but
ter and coffee. Landgraf ate heartily, while
Maxwell partook. of the repast quite sparing-
". Ali ofhis assumed indifference had de-
parted and his face was blanched, while a
roubled, hunted look had taken possession
OF his keen eyes. He was evidently growing
weaker and had lost all hope of staying the
eeIecutloner1s hand. Landgraf maintained
the same old stolid look.
MAxwELL's LETTERS.
This morning Maxwell gave to the press
the following address to the people of Eng
land:
10 the People of England: Ny English
countrymens will doubtless remember the
great boasts that have now and at all times
been made by the American people in regard
to the fair and just way in which they treat
all people Satisfied that you are not ac-
qualnted with the unlawful, unjust and I'M
fair way in which have been treated, since
you are accustomed in England to see JUS
tlce administered impartially in courts, an
examination of the records in my case will
show that the prosecution resorted to every
unfair means in their power, even to crime
| itself; for they procured a check to be forged,
j
and placed him in jail. AfterWard the pros
ecution placed him on the witness stand to
testify. His evidence was a stissue of lies
from one end to- the other; in fact upon
the witness stand he said he would lie as far
as he considered necessary, and the prose-
| cutlon said IN open court that he had paid
$50 for said services. This is one specimen
OF the boosted American justice. This is only
one of the means used by the prosecution,
and had time / could give you numbers of
them. The trial has been denounced as q
traVesty on and a miscarriage of justice by
leading lawyers here. Proof that one of the
| jurors said he was goingon the jury to con-
| Wet was presented to the governor. The
| British government interfered and requested
| an inquiry, but was refused by Gov. Moor
| house on the ground that he had no right
/ to do SO, and as to the prejudiced juror the
| governor said the fact did not amount to
ything. So am made to suffer the pen
| atty of the law without having fair trial as
| guaranteed to every one by the state consti-
| tuition. The prosecution stated in the papers
/ that the governor ought to disregard the
request of the British government on the
/ ground that / was an Engiishman and that
4 the British government had not taken any
1 notice of the United States interference in
the O 'Donnell case tried at the &C. c."
THE DEATH WARRANTS.
t AtS:47 Sheriff Harrington entered Max
well $ cell, where he and Landgraf had been
| placed together, and announced that the e.
nal moment had arrived. Maxwell paled
and pulled his fingers nervously. His was
the first death warrant read, and he stood
up and heard his doom calmly, though he
was plainly growing weaker all the time
While his arms were being pinioned Maxwell
| bit his lower lip several times.
THE EXECUTION
On reaching the scaffold the condemned as
cended without assistance Maxwell was
placed under the moose next to the west
Father Than read prayers. Maxwell wa,
| then asked if he had any thing to say, and il
4 an almost inaudible tone responded, sNo.'
