How nice the word sounded to John Nc
Nulty when it reached the County Jail yes
terday! 1t meant that his execution would
not take place to-day and that it had been
stayed for at least two weeks.
Early in the morning active preparations
for the execution began in the Broadway
bastile. The old Jail gallows from which
Is murderers have dropped to death was
taken from the garnet and placed in the
usual position at the north end Of the upper
corridor. Chief Jailer Hadeler superin-
tended the work OF construction. While
the deputies felt confident that the execu-
ton would be stayed. it was their duty to
proceed with the CHASTITY preparations until
Official notice of a reprleve had been re-
ceived. So the sound of the hammer was
heard all day. During the morning hours
each blow heard caused McNulty TO turn
iritie paler and to become more serious
He then appeared to realize how near was
the execution of the judgment OF death.
THE RETRIEVE.

County Jail:

decided TO grant reprleye to McNulty until Fri
day, August the 26th.

Although the erection of the gallows and
the STRENGTHENING of balconies upon which
spectators usually crowd during executions

hot day. The dependency under which
he had been laboring for several days dis

the ship captain, Bernard Hardy, had ar

convicted murderer was quite a surprise 10
McNuliy. He said he had heard nothing
about Hardy being a witness TO the killing
OF James Collins, nut he had expected i'm
portant testimony for his defense from other
sources. In fact, McNulty was SO hopeful
that he predicted that he would eventually
make a showing sufficient 10 escape the
gallOws.

think that the execution would be delayed,
for somber invitations were issued early

the Assessor In the following findings:
find that the corrections OF the assessments
named In the complaint were deliberately made
with the intent 10 accomplish reduction OF said
assessments, but thai, IN making such altera-
tons, the defendant was actnated by good
pose OF preventing what he conceived TO be an
Injustice, and under the earnest belief that the
law authorized him 10 make such corrections
and that he was acting within the scope Of his
powers honestly In making all the corrections
named IN the complaint
The testimony In the case being all in, it
was rumored that a lively argument might
be expected yesterday morning by the

After brief consultation among counsel,
however, Attorney FOote asked Judge Gar
Der TO allow tie case to be submitted on

as no perfunctory continuance was re-
CURED
