WRIGHT ADMITS THAT HE KILLED ROGERSKT. Wright when he first was committed to prison acknowledged to a certain person that he had killed the peddler, and he alone, but subse- quently he accused Bemby, who lived in the samebouse. Within a few days past he has tacitly acknowledged the crime by saying: ‘I don’t think that it is fair to send a manto the penitentiary when he killed four men,and hang me yhen Tdidn’t kill anybody but the Dute' ey A few days since some gentlemen were ad- mitted to the jail yard to see the gallows, and the trap was sprung to show how it worked. Wright hearing this noise came to the window, and seeing the party said, “They have built that for Tom Wright, but I am d—dif they will hang me on it.” WRIGHT'S THREATS. Yesterday afternoon, in consequence of cer- tain threats made by the prisoner that he would not be hung, and wonld give them trouble, &c., bo was brought out of his celland stripped of his clothing to be certain that he had pothing secreted therein, and a new suit of clothing having been brought to him he put on pants, shirt, and shoes, but refused to put on 4 coat; and his leg irons were changed to others, to which he is attached by chain and handcuffs, in which he will be kept until the morning of the execution. In consequence of his violent behavior he is debarred from receiving the visits of any others than his spirital advisers. HOW HE BECAME A CATHOLIC. Something has been said recently in relation to his espousal of the Catholic faith, atter min- isters of other denominations had been visiting him, and it has been hinted that the priests forced themselves upon him. That, however, is not the case. Some time ago he was con- fined with a prisoner of the Catholic faith who was visited by Rev. Father Roccofort. During his visits Wright became acquainted with the beliefs and doctrines of that church. After praying several weeks and receiving the instruction of the colored ministers, he said he cou!d not feel , to meet his Ged, as he could not forgive Bembry. He then concluded to try the Catholic church, and taking the counsel of one of the guards he sent for Father Wigett over a week ago, and that minister has been wane im almost daily since. This morning Wright seemed perfectly resigned to his fate. THE SCAFFOLD is the same on which Jenkins, for the murder of bis wife; Woods, for the murder of Cheese- man, and Johnson, for the murder of bis wife, were executed iast fall and winter. itis a substantial structure 12 feet square. The platform is 10 feet from the ground, suppor’ by 6 by 4 timbers at the corners, extending 4 feet above the floor of the platform—a railing at that height extending around it. In the center of this platform is the trap, 5 by 6 fet tiush with the foor. On the east side a piece | plank 6 inches long and 3 inches wide extends an inch above the floor. This piece rests on the | end of an iron rod attached to the curved iron, | the ends of which support the trap, and a foot t aced on it, the trap is spru A flight de steps ison the west side of the strac- | ture, pear the southwest corner, and in the cen- ter Of the north and south sides two upright timbersextend to a height of 20 feet, supporting | the cross beam of 4 by 5 timber, from the center j | of which the fatal “noose hangs. The whole structure is painted lead color. The prisoner being much heavier than his predecessors every precaution has been taken to have everything strong enough to prevent accident, and under the beam two heavy ces have been placed, and a new rope of the best quality and larger than asual has been stretched, noosed and soaped, realy for the work of the law.
