EAGER FOR DEATH.

Murderer Crawford Creates Sensation
at Decatur, ul.-He Declares He Wants
to BE Hanged, and Opposes His AttOr-
neys' Efforts to Secure Stay of Exc
cution = Judge Vail Acquiesces in His
Request.
DECATUR, H., March 11.-There was
sensation Monday evening in the
circuit court in the celebrated William
II. Crawford murder case. Crawford
had been sentenced by Judge Vail to
hang March H. and without
consulting him his attorneys, Webber
and Mccoy, had filed four
affidavits with certainty of
securing a stay of execution until
April II. The arguments were to be
heard Monday afternoon, but Crawford
when told what was about to be done
in his behalf, positively refused to goto
the court room with the bailiH. With
string of oaths he declared that he did
not want a stay of execution that he had
not asked for it; that he cut the throat
of Mrs. Col. Matthias, and that if he was
given new trial he would go into
court and plead guilty He said: Il
don't want any interference with the
verdict. / am satisfied. Let them hang
me Saturday. / am readys You will
not get me into court unless you carry
me over or drag me out- tic
would listen to none of the pieadings
of the officers or to his attorneys, and
sullenly lay down upon his bed, resigned
to his fate. As last resort Attorney
Weber asked the court to have his
sanity investigated, but Judge Vail
overruled all motions by declaring that
he believed Crawford of SQUAD mind,
adding further that under the law he
could not interfere in the case without
the consent and presence of the pris-
.oner
The judge added further that as
Crawford's attorneys had been APP
pointed their connection with the case
had ended when the sentence was pro-
nounced nearly Three weeks ago and he
could not hear 2rything further from
them. The gallows is in course of
erection The sound of the hammer
can be heard 10y Crawford. lie is eager

"There is at this moment on the North
Atlantic and approaching the American
coast a greater storm than an that will
happen during the remainder of this year
or any during 1872. There will be no
earthquake beyond a few shares north

HAVE BIG DEBTS.
Dudley Hall & Co., Tea Importers

The Firm Was One of the Largest in
the United States ~ Their Liabili-

SENSATION AT THE "HuB.

BosToN, March 1.-THE failure of
Dudley Hall & Co, was announced at
noon. This firm, which is composed of
Dudley c. Han and Dudley Han, has
for many years carried on an extensive
tea importing business at lao
State street, and has also dealt quite
largely in sugar. The business of teas
has been profitable one, but the in
dorsement of paper by the senior mem
Der of the firm, Mr. Dudley c, Hall. for
the accommodation of personal friends,
proved too much for the firm. The as
signees are Francis Flint of Cambridge
and William b. French of Winchester.
meeting of the creditors win be held
Saturday next, when the debtors will
make full statement of their affairs.
The liabilities of the firm itself are
rising S40O 000 larle part of which is
secured by convcyances of real
property and deposits of collat-
eral securities The firms assets
consist largely 81 equities in real
estate which has been conveyed by the
senior member as collateral security
for the firms debts. The other avail
able assets of the firm consist chiefly
in stock and bills receivable, amount
ing in value to $4,000 or 500, 900. If
the assignee can secure time to dis
pose of the large interests in real es-
tate held by the firms members indi-
vidually to the best advantage, the
creditors, it is thought, win ultimately
receive d large dividend.
The firm was the Second LARGEST ton
house in the United States, doing a
business of over 81 200, GOO year. The
announcement of the failure created
sensation. as the firm was considered
one of the soundest on the street.
