strapped his hands behind him and

paper with the following observa-

Yesterday afternoon quiet and
orderly crowd of about seventy per-
sons, all men, were standing on the
lawn at the front entrance of the
stale prison at Moundsville. A few
minutes after 5 o'clock some one in
low tone said to go to the rear.
We all passed around the wall and
We're met at gate by a guard who
took our cards and admitted us, to
an enclosure similar to the street car
barn, which had yet another gate,
which was not opened until all had
entered and the other gate closed
We were gwen printd slip which
We had time to read in the three
minutes we remained in this place.
This slip was a notice asking for
strictest silence and decorum, as well
us directing us to leave in the course
and manner we had entered after we
should received the order OF the war
den to retire.
The other gate was then thrown

male voices, which concluded Just as

the gallows and saw the prisoner at
