SCENE, ATACHINESE se EXEC UTION. How the Merderers of Christian Mis- | stonaries Suffered the Death Penalty. San Francisco, Cal., Jan. 22.—J. Oswald of Chicago, who arrived the C. on the steamer Optic from Orient, was an eye-witness of the execution of the five men charged with having been ringleaders in the massacres of missionaries at Ku} Cheng. The execution occurred at | Foo Chow, in the presence of vast numbers of Chinese, only twenty- four Caucasians witnessing the death scene. “At 9 o'clock the brought upon the ground in wooden cages,” said Mr. Oswald. “Each of them was conveyed to the tent where we were sitting and to him was read the death warrant, after his identity | had been established. The mandarin that read the warrant atuck an arrow | through it and pinned the paper to the back of the prisoner's coat. After this the doomed men were lead to the ground where they were to die.’ “Five patches of turf bad been cut, and in each indentation a mar knelt. When all was in readiness the court of mandarins, accompanied by the British naval contingent and | the foreign Consular officials, emerg- ed from the tent and took up a position front of the canvas. Then, amid an impressive silence, prisoners were in the crimes of the condemned men were recited to the crowd and the penalty was proclaimed. Two sol- diers, splendid examples of physical development, acted as executioners. They stood behind the five men, each prisoner having his head on a bleck. At a given word the executioners advanced. Not the least sign of fear was visible on the faces of the wretched Chinese whose heads were 80 soon to fall. “The werk of the executioners was very rapidly performed, With one stroke of the ax the head was severed from the body, and in just three seconds the task was consum- mated. The blood pulsed from the neck of one man for one and a half minutes after the fatal blow had been dealt. After the execution the heads of the five ringleaders were placed in buckets, whieh were cut so as to give a full view of their ghastly contents. They were taken to Ku Cheng, the scene of the massacre of the ten Christian girls, and were there hung on trees, where they are probably still hanging. To remove one of the heads means immediato death to the offender. “This has had a great moral effect on the Chinese and I think it will be aleng. time before there will be ICLARDY & BRUNER.
