Wife Murderer Hanged.

John Bateman, colored, was hanged at Marion on the 28th in the presence of as many people as were allowed by law to witness executions, and in an inclosure surrounded by negroes, who assembled to see the condemned man led from the jail yard. Bateman was convicted of poisoning his wife, and the evidence against him was largely made out by his own confessions at various times to different persons, and yet on the scaffold he protested his in nocence, saying that he did not know the cause of his wife's death. Notwithstanding his protestations of innocence no one believed him, and it is thought that at no time did he abandon hope of intervention on the part of the governor. He knew that an effort for communication of his sentence had been made. and he had in mind the fact that the scaffold on which he was to be hung had been built for a negro named Louis Strong, whose sentence of death had been committed to life Imprisonment by Gov. Jones at practically the last moment.
