Fonr 8, Ark,, via Lrrre Rock, Sept, §o— Sour correspondont arrived at Fort Smith at 7 o'clock yestordsy morning after an unpleasant thirtoon-hour stago jaunt ncross a mountainous country, The roads from Altus, the torminus ot tho Littlo tock & Fort Smith Railrond, to Van Duron, 40 miles, are frightful.

As your correspondent atopped from tho stage Lia attontion was direct- el taanoval epectaclo, s wogon, on tho front seat of which wero three mop, and tralilug be- pind wero armod guards on foob. Two of the occupants of tho wagon wero shacklod togather. Thoy proved to bs Evans and Mooro, TWO OF TRE DOOMED MEN who wers sponding their Iast doy on earth, They bad beon to tho Toman Catholic Church, and were returning from a visit to their spiritual ad- visors. As they pnssod, Evans was downcast, but his companion coolly gazed on the scaffold, which was in plain viow, and romarked, *‘Thero's tbat thing.

Your correepondent had therefora very littlo time to spare, THE. PREMISES. Ta viclted the United States Court-room and Jail, which is in a large brick buildipg formor- ly occupied 88 quartora for military purposes, The Court rooms oro o tho upper story, snd the Jail lu the basement, The yard or grounda aro opnofous, and sur- roundod with & stoue-wall of fivo gates, In onas corner of this wall stauds an old, pentagonal-ehspea bulldiug, with iron doora sand pointed roof, built of solid ma- ronry, which was formerly used aa s msgszine. Tho old walls and coroor bastions are picturosque, with running vines, and the yard shaded by many fine old treos. THE DOOMED 81X wore of courss the principal objects of attrac Mon. They were all incarcorated in ono dungeon In the basomont of tho Oourt-flouse and to tho right of the sntrance, tholr exit belag prevented by stono walla § feel In thickness, doubla-barred windows, and guards on each side of tha edifice, who pa~ trolled, revolver in hand. Thu dungeon Lad an sir of cleanliness, and pumezous flowers, the gifta of falr sympathizors in the town, wero Iying around pramisouously. The man who was on guard kindly permitted #he reporters to enter, slthough Gen. Fagin had ordered that none but epiritual sdvisors should bs admitted, the , hour of execution belog a0 closo " ar hand. Heated la front af ' tho double-barrsd door by means of which tho dungeon was entered, we se an old and shrivelsd Indiap woman and an lodian gir), sbout 20 years of sgo, who was suckling a small papoose, tho exact image of its {tather, EYOKER MAX, KILLER, who peered through the grating with indiffer enca. The visitors were his mathoer and wife Lucy, and thelr young aou, and they were hay- ing thelr farewelt inoterview, The womon sobbed bltterly, but the man was por- foctly stoical. The ’priscner sppeated to be muscular and in perfect hoslth: ‘Ha was slmoat 6 foot high, althongh but 18 years of sge, 8nd welghed about 180 pounds, Ile was quite good looking, and was no doubt considored very handsome by the bolles of his race. 1o was ©f »light copper color, with thick lipa and an unusoally bright, though very small, palrof darx oyes, Hinhair and eyebrows were very dark, and the former, which was cropped ahort, ‘was also very siraight. Smoker Man-Killer could not spesk English, but by means of his mother, who did tho interpretation for the reporters in attendance, your correspondent learned tho following facts: He felt all right; slept well tho previons night ; was not afraid of death ; hiad befome & good 130, and joined the Presby. terlsn Church. He avowed that he had nothing %o do with tnekilling of Bliort, and eaidthat John Welch swore Lis lifo away, e aud Welch neyer had a quasrel, but Welsh was & bad man and aworo to lies, ho did 2ot knaw wby; he didn't care o be put out of jail, and was all resdy to. olimb to the' gallows; the mother wound up ths interview with he words: *‘Ho good mani ho not kil Bhort ¢ nuther man da it ; he die.” The Man-Killer was educated in the Cherokeo laogusge, aud oould writo very well {n that langusge. He furnished the local journalist with & written statemany {n Cherokea covering » sheet of foolscap. In this Bmoker said he was not guilty of the murder, and was willing aud aasious to dle, and be ousof bis trouble, He was formerly convinced that bis executlon was a judgment of Uod upon bim for killivg » Oherokee Indian in self-defonss g0me time before, Eis brotherJim visited bim on Monday Jast, but little plesaure belug evinoed on either side at the meeting, and pince thea Jim basalso been arrested and locked ub for the worder. From the group of redskina your corzespondent tusned and accosted JAMES MOORK, #ho shook hends in & frindly msne we, and the conversstion by stating tbat ho had heen attacked with & sovore chill the provious night.

Moore had tho BRAZEN EFFRONTERY to protest his innocence, and eald hie was 100 miles nway from the eceno of tho murdoer st Blue River. Ho acknowledged that hin parents Dhad no control over Lim, and that he had gons to ackiool but littlo. + DAN EVAXA was also dscorated with s cross, e fa rathor a full-faced man, with regulsr foatures and a youthful expression. His lips are a little thick, and hia oyes round and bluo. fiis faco waa clean-sbaven, and Lis bsir, nestly brushied, was a dark brown, His forohoad was broad, Tn sposking ho stuttered slightly. o, Jike Moore, was seemingly very much sffocted by tho roligious services, and, when nsked to spoak of himaalf, said, ss ho jorked his hand to bis nock, that his timo was so thort now ho had & good maay other thinga to attond to. 1o atat- ed that e himeelf wan not & bad man, but tnat 1o bad acen lots of bad mon and plenty of ROUGIN TIMES OX TUE NONDER.

ISTONY OF THE CRIMES. ‘Executiona havo rarely occarred in this conn- try that have roceived such strong public sp- proval as those which took placa at Fort Bmith today. The crimes for which each of tha fol- ona were swung iuto etornity were of tho most atroclous character, 3nd merited tho punieh- meat which they brought upon tho heads of tho perpotrators, Though thero was no connoction betwoen thoir offonses, the condemned culprits were sentenced on the samo day,—the ocvcasion Lelbg tho most aolemn apd impressivo ovor wit- neased in an Arkansas court-room. It wes tha 25th day of last Juno, Tue Court-Iouse was packod with a grest crowd eager to witnces tha acone. Judge I. C. Parker presided. and bora upon Lls countenanco an air of gravity, which showed how kosnly ho felt tho serious rexponsi- bility of consigniug seven unfortunates to tho gallows. About 2 p, m. the United Htates larshal emerged from tho dungeon below with two pris- oners surrounded by s guard of eight men, with drawn revolvors. Tho scene was dsamatio fo tho exireme. A few days proviously a convicted murderer broke away from bis guards in tho conrt-room and ran, but woell-dirocted bullets cheated the gallows of a victim, and the fugitive was suot dead in his tracks. All procsutions were taken to prevent a recurrenco of such & tragicevent. The arma of each of the prisoners on this occaslon were firmly held by guards de- tailod for tho purposs, Tho first ons brougnt before the Judge for sentence was J0UX WHITTINGTON. A more desporate-looking man conld hardly bo pletored. His ago was aboat 30. Ho was 6 feet 1o Lioight, aa straight as an Iodian, built like an athloto. A cold, lustreleas eyo peerod from under s shaggy brow, but occasionatly shot out glsnces (hat shomed the diabollcal spirit within. o was, every luch, a typo of tho frontier despersdo, savage, rolentless, and ma- lignant. He scarcely looked as tha Judge during tho delivory of tho remarkable nddress, but oo- casfonally ho tarned Lis eves upon the audience bohlud, sccwllug upon them and flashing defl- suce, o lived in poverty with a wife and two children near the Red River, in Plckens County, Chickaasw Natlon, aod was found guilty of murder committed {n thac viclnity, MMonday, Feb, 7, 1875. The evidence adduced at (ho trial ehowed that on that dsy Whittington aud Joln J. Turner, & nelghbor, startod across the river. On the aflernoen of tho same day, whila seturving, Whittlogton dropped beliiud snd sud- donly coming up with Turoer bit him & tromon- dous blow upon the hoad with a club, kuocking him seoseloes from hia horde.
