FOUR HANGINGS.


 The streets in the neighborhood of the Tombs were crowded Friday morning with a multitude of people. They could not see nor hear anything of what was going on inside those ponderous Egyptian walls, but they knew that four men were to be hanged there, and they got as close to the place as they could.
 All the morning the air resounded in all parts of the city with the cries of news boys, shriily demanding that everybody should tread the extra-full account of the execution" For many days certain newspapers have been printing columns of details about the five condemned mur- derers- they ate and when; how they slept and took their exercise; what they said and what was said to them and these details have been set forth in way to arouse maudlin, half drunken kind of sympathy for the murderers in the sort of people to whom these papers appeal, and among whom lies tho principal part of their circulation.
 At the same time an agitation has been going on among kid-gloved section of the community, which Seems to have prac- tically organized itself into Society for the Prevention of Harm to Murderers, for the abolition of the old death penalty and the substitution of form of euthanasia. These two agencies, taken together, form quite effective league for the prop agation of murderers. When the murder CTS is looked upon as hero by one part of the community, and is regarded by anoth- CT part with pity and apparent sympathy unattended with horror or aversion, it is high time for protest to be made in be- half that other part of the comm munity that desires neither to emulate the murderer E deeds nor to cheat death of it's terrors. - | -Mail and Erpress.
