Not lesa than fifty persons, including roporters and frionds of the condomn- od, romained in tho prison all night, io order to wateh tholast hours of tho doomod men, and altended mass aud othor roligious services with them. Woston and Thompson were Cathiolics, and masses wero chanted for them daring tho night in the chapol of tha prison. Ellls was & Methodist, and religlous sorvices for him were held in the long corridor of the jail, tho Deputy Sheriffs and roporters only being in attondance. THE LXECUTION, a8 far as Weston and Thompson were concerned, was in no degroe remarkable. Both bore them- selves bravely. Weaton was an intolligent-look- ing mulatto, snd Thompson quite an intelligont negro, and both concalod what fonrs thoy had of death to tho last. The necka of noither were broken, Thoy dled of strangulation, biat very quickly., After throo minutes, Weston's puise best at 25 only ; st the end of four minutos tho pulsations woro ooly 15; st flve minutes, 12; at #ix mioutes the putne flattored t0 32, and in 8 quartor of & minnta more ceasod to heat.

Ho had obtamed from the kooper of tho prison somo croam, but, lnstesd of drinking it, ho gressed his neck, with the ides probably that Iv wonld make the ropo slip more readily, and end his sufferings more quickly, When bronght to tho scaffold tho nooss was proper- adjustod, with the knot under his rght ear; but as the BhenlT begon Lis work of pulling the black cap about thoir faces and fastonivg the ucoses to the rope above Woston and Thowmpaon, the sight of this work and the clicking of tlio iron cissps mado Ellis porvons, Ho tromblod from head to foot, and, aftor thocap was drawa down snd the drop ndjusted, ho suddenly turved his liead to tho lefe with & quick norvous movement. This brotght tho knot of the ropo, which slippod on his greased nock, dh'eal‘ls under Lis chin, and before it could bo readjusted the haogman Lad out the rope, the heavy 1,000 -pound simultaneously into the air, LElla’ neck was not broken, nor did the m& rogs upon Lis throat. Ha was aunpeuded by the back of the nock. Ho immediately began violently to struggle. In do- ing g0 his fest became loosenod from their pin- ions, and, fo kicking sbout, ho atruck the wall with htg foot. This caused his body to eway back and forth in tho direction of tho otbers.
