Under the charge of the Judge, the fury had but one duty, and that was to bring In a verdict of “Galtty ot murder in the tirst. degree,” Under that verdict the Court had only one course, and that was to sentences them te be hung. This it dlls and now the siege has set down around the Governor to yet his commutation, lt has become well known that the Governor doves not propose to exer- else the pardoning prerogative, except in tho most extreme cnses, and it is not thought probable that he will intertere with the ex- eeution of the full penalty in this ease, Tho chicfetfort 1s being wide for Mann, and letters are pouring.in from various adiur- ters‘of the country, showing that his past condtet was good, and arguing that he lind no concuptlon ef tha enormity of the erlme in which he participated. itis clulmed by Mans friends that he liad no hand In themurder; that it was not talked over between the tivo; and that he was not tn reality, although in the technieat sense, an accomplice, On the othor hand, it is held by tho opposition that Mann made no outery when the horrible deed was dono; that hve took his share of the booty; and that tho whole mutter wag talked up between then, When the Jade was ranly to puss sentence, ho asked Maun if he had anything to say.

Ezra Becker, Wiliam Schum, and Cyrus Lint went into the tool- house, -cast ,of Becker & Underwood's mill, to procure implements to work with, and while there a terrifle explosion took place “which threw the cast wall of the building upon them, and they were all earrled Into the mill-race.
