Noo took placo to-dny in & most orderly and unoxcit- iug manner. Ho maintained his cowposure, and proteated Lis innoconce to the last, bat he was purplo and cold for hours before the execution. In consequenco of the fact that ho waa con- victed on purely circumstantial evidenco, he has had two or threo reprioves, and made applics- tiona for w new trial which wero donied. The ovidonce was of tho most complote Rrud con- vincing character, and Dolan was probably the only man in tho city who hiad any doubts of his guilt. e wos of the worst character of New York roughs, and bzd beon guilty of mnny erimes. 1o was po familiar to tho police that ho was recognized from tho deacriptions given of him by the dying vietim, apnd arrestod on sight.
