An article describing the arrest and
Execution of tie Moorish fanatic who

IN the London Times from the Fee cor
respondent of that journal. After
mentioning the arrest of the assassin
the shrine where he had taken re-
tuge, the CORES pondent says:
within half an hour the assassin
MAS brought into the sultan's presence.
His majesty. who was seated in chair
under tall archway, in full sight of
all his viziers, officials, and some hun
areds of troops, ordered the prisoner
to be brought before him. Mr.. Has
tings and myself stood by his majesty's
side in order that we might hear what
passed. The murderer was man of
apparently some 80 years of age of tall
Stature and not unpleasing counte-
nance.
'He confessed to deliberately shoot
ing DIR. Cooper because he was Chris
tan. Up to this time the news of DIR.
Cooper's death had not been received.
The sultan therefore ordered the man
20 be publicly hogged for his attack
upon DR.. Cooper, and the man received
several hundred blows from leather
thongs across his hips and thighs, ad.
n1inistered by soldiers in the presence
of his majesty and the entire court
and troops. He bore his thrashing
with great fortitude, and on its COM
pletion was. able toorise up without
assistance and walk.
He was then ordered to be publicly
exhibited in the streets; and, mounted
upon donkey and guarded by soldiers.
be was taken from the palace for this
purpose.
lit was at this moment thatthe news
of DR.. Coopef's death was received.
The sultan, who was still seated in the
great court ar.s of theopalaee, ordered
Inc public exhibition of the murderer
to be Stopped and, after consultation
With his viziers, commanded the mans
immediate execution, requesting Mr..
Hastings and myself to be present,
together with allAis viziers-.
I'm a quarter of an hour all was over.
The murderer was shot in the arsenal

of the usual crowd - people. He re-
