A MURDERER HANGED.

An excited crowd, overcome by curl
osity to see the hanging of a murderer,
at Lancaster Court House, yesterday,
carried their purpose and witnessed the
execution. The law of Virginia requires
that executions shall be private, and
yesterday John Johnson, colored, who,
on the night of March 81, murdered
in cold blood Charles Carter, we'll
known and prominent young man of
that county, was to be executed inside
an enclosure around the Jail yard, in
the presence of the county officials
only, as the law directs. The crowd
outside grew larger and larger as the
hour approached, and their personal
applications were steadily refused.
Their demands grew into a public
clamor for a sight of the condemned
murderer. Finally, just before the drop
was sprung, the crowd, which number
ed 500 people, in answer to the cry OF
some one, "Let's pull down the fence, :"
made rush for the enclosure, and
quickly threw it TO the ground. Hav-
ing accomplished their purpose, they
were otherwise orderly, and the one
hundred guards sworn in, in anticipa-
ton of any trouble that might occur,
had no trouble in keeping them back.
The execution proceeded as soon as the
first excitement of the rush was over,
and no further attempt at disturbance
was made. At 1890 Johnson was es-
corted to the scafiold between the sher-
if and an assistant. When asked
whether he had anything to say, with
tears in his eyes, he replied: "You all
see the way 1 60 today. Young boys,
don't take the step took. Farewell
to you all and thank God am prepar-
ed to CO." He showed wonderful nerve
when his legs were being strapped, the
cap put on and the moose adjusted. He
obeyed the instructions like child.
During the prayer on the scafold by
the minister, the condemned man
moaned: Farewell, all farewell. God
have mercy on me, amen" At 12:40
o'clock the drop fell. His neck was
not broken, but there was no struggle
save slight contraction of the legs.
In thirteen minutes the doctor pro.
nounced life extinct. His body will be
shipped tomorrow TO the University
College of Medicine at Richmond.
