The murderer Conway, who was hanged |
nj Liverpool a short time ago. and was so |
shOckingly mutilated By the bungng Of the |
hangman Berry, perpetrated curious out |
rage in his last moments. He made a confess |
sion on the scaf0ld in which he stated that
his real name was Owen Giblin. that no was |
born in Ireland, had been q soldier in the
forty-ninth foot, and his regimental number
was 1851. lie gave details of his career in
the army. and said he changed his name
to Conway 10 avoid punishment for
deserving from ship. A week ago a
man called at the newspaper Offices
in Dublin and said that he was tho real Owen
Ciibin. He showed his papers of discharge
from the EOrty-nlnth regiment. in which ne
is described as Private Owen. Giblin. 1881"
Gibln Is laboring man of respectahility,
we'll known in his native county of I.eitrm
His army record is the same as that given bv
CONWAY. Conway must have been an assO-
cate OF Gibln's at some time and so learned
his history. Giblin Is intensely grieyed at
Conway's lying statement, and hopes the
press will circulate his story Of the matter.
