The scaffold on which the last legal ex-
ecutiou occurred in this city has been de.
stroyed and in case all or any Of the three
men now in jail under death sentence pay
the death penalty,a new scaffold will have
to be built. In case the three men are ex-
ecuted the same day, 10 is the
intention Of Sheriff Romero to
hang them separately and in sue
~cession, instead Of executing all at the
same time, as is generally done in cases of
this kind. This mode requires a wonder
full amount of nerve in both prisoners and
officers.
