When ready, the army will tako the direct route to Erzeroum, At GREECE. BRITIST INFLUENCR HUCCEBDS, Loxvox, July 13.—~The adjournment of the Greel Chamber is bellcved to mean that the King, with the aid of British influence, has gained the sscendeney over the war party, and that for the present, at least, apprehensions ot Greek participatfon against Turkey will not be realized. As the participation &f Greeco would undoubtedly have been s further complication of the Eastern situation, this resuit will be welcomed by those who have feared the fallure of attemrits to localise the war. On the other hand, it is probable that the fricnds of Russis, especially British Liberals, will see in the atil- tude of Greece a further step of the British Cab- {nct In the direction of ANTAGONISM TO RUSSIA, Thoy well argud that as the Canarls Ministry was formed purcly for an omergeney, and at the demand of those who desired anti-Turkish measures, the adjournment of the Chamber ‘without action must bave been induced by very forcible representations on the part of England. It {s highly probable that Rritish (nfluence has been a strong support to the peaca policy of the King, but not netessarily In a sense hostile to Russis, and porsibly without the knowledze of the Dritish Miniaters. The time for Greek actlon HAS ARDLY ARRIVED, . and =8 Greeco looks rather to England than Russia as her natural protector, it may be well that the strained and uncertaln relations be- tween the great Powers has chiecked the agita- tion which a month sgu threatencd to drive Ureeco Into lmmediate bostlities. Even s Cab- inet strong In popular favor a3 the prescnt ons could hardly withdraw safcly from-the embar- rassment of having & war with Turkey on its hands, When the not impossible cveut of Brit- Ish futervention agminst Russia should come to pass, the recoguition of such possibility by the (Greeks does not necessarily bring it nearer.

Br, Louts, Mo., July 13.—The executlon of Pofndexter Edmondson for the murder of Will- fam Shaw took place at Bloumfield, Stoddart County, Mo., to-lay In the presence of sevoral thousand people. Yesterday the condemned felon, who had becn s wicked and blaspliemaus man, profeseed religion and recelved the ordle nance of baptism by sprivkiing at the hands of the Rev. John Haynsworth, Methodist mintster. Last night ho slept very little, spending most of his time in prayer, frequently calling out ina frantlc mnanner for mercy., This moming he arosc at b o'clock, dressed himself, and at 6 par- took of a light breakfast. Ife evinced grest terror of his approaching doom, and prayed audibly at short Intervals. AL S o'clock nis wire, who had bidden hine an affectionate farewell, after an interview of several Lours, visited him agzain, snd begred to see him once more, The unbappy woman was admitted to jail, and had a lust conversation with ber husbahd. They vrayed together, he fn a very loud and piteous manper, begrtng for mercy. The parting is de- scribed to have been of the most heartrending character, thostrony inen scting as guards at the ‘&nll—llonr being themnselves overvome by the affecting seenc, EDMUNDSON'S MOTHER alro called to bid him good-by, and, asahe Icft, ler son requested that none of his Kins- people should be }nreunl. at the exccution. At 11 o'clock, aftcr an hour spent in prayer and paslm-singing by the mioisters, Edmondzon waa led unpinfoned from his cell, and placod in a wagon, taking his seat on the head of his cofin. The wagon- was guarded a filo of thirty men on cach alde, while the Bherlfl had “a posss of inounted armed men to keep away the crowd. As Edmondson had a very large pumber of Lkinspeople in the country, It was fearcd a rescuc woulil be attempted, aind hencethe precautions. Tho line of march was then taken to TUX GALLOWS, sttuated on an_clevated spob in an old field northeast of town, The scaffold was surround- vd by the armed men, leaving & clear upace of fitty feet on each shlo from the wagon around to {he foot of tho gallows, The cutprit walked with creat firmness, but when be put his footS| on the st step to ascend he turned deadly pale and began to tremble, ON THX BCAPFOLD he showed considerable trepldation, asked by the Bherlt if ho had anythini ho replied: *Yes, Mr, Morgan, I want to thunk you for tho kindness with which you have treated me, and my attornev also,” sud the preacher, and others who have treated me so well, I am not F\llll of killing Mr, Shaw, I hated him.

The hlstory of the case has exefted great public sttention, first, from the fact thav it pletured an assassin slaying his foe from ambush, then a conviction based un purely clreumstantial evidence, and, lastly, an fnge- nlous plot of the doomed man and *his famlly, whereby he was incde to appear, for a long tinie, as a hero about to suffer, without prutest, for tho crime of a half-witted brother, snd through which he vame near escapiug an igno- wiulous death, 1t appears that Edmondson and Bhaw, who were neighbors, accldentally met near the bouss of the lutter ou tho worniog of Bept. 25, 1870, They had had a number of !Imvluul disputes, and ou this oceasiou a quarrel took place whic) ended In 8 ssvages hand-to-band fght, dusdsd which Edmondson attempted to usc a koife, lut wus prevented by an opportune blow fn@ & brick in the haids of bls antagonist, vhich felled Ll to the earth and rendered hia un- Edinoudsonwas, 1o When 10 sy, cuuscious for seme time. {fact, badly used up.

If 8Bhaw's ghost s here it mr}’t scare me.’” Edmondson was committed to Jall, without the benefit of bail. After being imprisoned a fosr days he escaped, but was captured after s week's liberty, He was Indicted in November, 1876, and was tricd in the Jatter part of Febru- ruary, 1877, Though the teatimonv for the prosecution was altogether of a circumatantial and presumptivenature, the chain was complete, and of such nrenglh that no theory of the defense could break It. Each link was perfect, and not & flaw could be discovered that would weaken faith in the prisoner's guflt, John A. Btewart, tho first witness for tho prosecution, stated that about dark on the evening of the murder he went to the house of Mrs Edmond- aon to borrow a lantern. 8he did not have ona At home, but Poindexter said they had onc at John Shaw's, aud offered to go with Stewart to Bhaw's house to get the lamp, 1hey went and got tho lamp, and, on the return from Shaw's, Btewart told tdmondson he wanted the Jantern 10 use at Copp’s house, where he and Wililam 8baw were prinding sorghum. Edmondson in- quired {f 8haw would be working thero that night, and was answered in the afirmative. In response to an invitation to go over to Copp's, Edmondson sald he would not go where illiam Shaw was, and that he and Will- {am Shaw could not both live in the same coun- try. This conversation occurred two hours be- fore tha ehooting touk place. Samuel Cooper testificd that while ho was ox-huuting on tha morning of the P KIGIT OF THR MURDER lie came to Mrs. Edmondson’s liouse, and while there had a conversation with Poindexter. He remembered particnlar)y that Poindexter asked i In 8 elgnificant manner, **If & man kiils an- other, how long will it bo bofore he can’t bo unishied for it1" thua evincing a desire to post imeell on the statuten! linitations concern- ing murder. Alexander Caldwell testified that subeequent to the fight botween Shaw nnd Ed- mondson, fn which 8baw used a brick so cffectively, he heard Edmondson say he (Edmondsan)end Shaw - * could not live in the same country and not get hurt,' that he *did not give & d—u for the sear 8haw left on him," but that he would ** draw morg blood and leave & bigger acar '’ on Bhaw than Bhaw had left on him. Daniel Chronister teatitied that when Ed- mondson breke jall he fed him, and was tak- ng his preakfast to him in the woods when he was intercepted by the Sterdff and arrested, and that Edmondson_was recaptured a few minutes afterwards. While the officers wers - securing Edmundsron he whispered to Chronis- ter to go and tell his mother and brothers to sayhe ‘‘was at home when the kiling oo curred,” and to tell them that if they did not swear to this, he would be bound to hang, and to any to his brother John if hie would_swear that fact he would ** work for him the balance of his dayn.” ‘The defense consisted of the testimony of the mother, brothers, and sisters of the prisoner, all of whom swore that he was in bed untfl the screams of Mra. Ehaw were heard as she passed on the way from her honie to whers the mur- dered man w: that when: they heard her charge the crime an Poindexter and swear that ahe would have him killed st the risk of her 1ife, they made Polndexter go away for satety, and that ft was rolely on account of thelr en- treaties that he left home. TIR TWO BISTERS, i Amanda and Mary, testlflcd that at the hour the murder took placc Pofndexter was in_ bed, but impeaching witnesses were Introduced by the rronccuu«m. who testificd that both these girls iad previously declared that FPoindex- ter wsa not st home, and thoy dld not know where he was, The attempt to prove an alibi wns n complete faflure, and & verdict of murder in tho first decres was brought in by the jury, after a brief retirement. ‘The casc was anpealed to the Bupreme Court, on the ground that the indictmnent dil wot allegze on’ what part of the budy of the decensed the'moartal wound was inflicted. The Bupremie Court declined to disturb tho verdict, upon the gruund that “the statules prevented fnterfer- ence with a judgment slmply becuuso the in- dictment does not contain an averment which is not pecessary to he proved. Where thy wound i on ‘the body, as aistinguished from tho limbs head, it s not necesrary to aver; nor on what part of the trunk the wound {s made.” When tho jury returned a verdict of gullty they hanled to the Court a recommendation for merey, asking a commutation to imprisonment for lile. ‘This, with & letter from tle Judge and Proswcuting Attorney, aud also o petition from citizeis, wers ]lmenu:t' to the Governor, as an nppealfor Ex . ceutlve clemency.
