dered his Sweetheart. was hanged with
Maxwell. A postponement Of the exc
cution for two hours was made by the
Sheriff ut the request of Maxwell's At
torneys, who hoped against hope for
Executive interference. The announce
ment was made to Maxwell and Land
graf at o'clock. Maxwell was ner-
vous, pallid and ill at ease in his last
hodrs. He ate sparingly of breakfast,
and shortly after o'clock. having
dressed himself in an eutire new suit,
partook of the holy communion. Land
graf remained cool and collected
throughout the night, ate a hearty
breakfast and received the saeraments
soon after Maxwell had done so.
At 8 o'clock a telegram was received
from jefferson City, saying the Govern
or had received another dispatch from
British Minister West, in Maxwell's be-
half, but declined to change his decis-
ion. At 8:45 the Sheriff entered the
cell where Maxwell and Landgraf had
been placed together, and read the
death warrants. Maxwell paled per-
cept;bly, showed evidences of increas-
ing weakness, and, as his arns wers
being pinioned, bit his lips and gulped
seVetal times. Lardgraf remained
stolid.
The procession to the scaffold was
then formed with the Sheriff and depu-
ties in front, followed by the condemned
men, with priest between them; then

knees trembled. The nooses were adj
justed, and at S:56 the drop fell. Land
