This was not surprise to our peo-

ii a reasonable time was asked for
the prisoner To prepare for death.
after the last hope had been taken
from him, that the Governor would
grant it. 1t is not believed that the
Governor will interfere further. No
prOvidential interference. the soul OF
Noah McGinnis will be launched into
eternity on the last day of the nine
teenth century, to eXpiate one of the
foulest murders ever committed in
Bates county. Sheriff Mudd had
erected the scaffold at the north side
of the jail aud had about completed
the arrangements for the execution
to-day. The hanging of McGinni.
