The Crime and the Criminals, The Rope and its Victims, Their Dying Speeches, [Special Dispatches to The Star} BAaLTimor®, August Ist—11 a. w. Joshua Nicholson and Thomas R. Hollohan, alias Thomas Richards, alias Thomas Whalen suffered death on the gallows in the jail yard here to-day, for the atrocious murder committed on the evening of January 2d last, the victim being an aged lady named Mrs. Lampley, re- siding at 102 Mulliken street. Mr. John Mercer Lampley, the husband of the murdered wontan, left his residence on the evening mentioned in company with his married daughter, Mrs. John English, for Ford’s opera house, leaving his wife in good health. About 9.30 o'clock a grown-up son returned home, and being unable to gain admittance either bythe front or back pete forced his way into the honse. A terrible sight met his gaze. His aged mother lay dead on the floor of the parlor. An alarm was at once raised, and the neighbors flocked in, buton the return of the family it was found that the house had been robbed of $1,000 in bank notes and $150 in gold. ‘Yhe rings were Lore from her fingers, and her pockets turned Inside out." Mrs. Lampley wore a valuable pair of earrings, one of which was torn from wer ear, and was subsequently found on the floor beside the corpse. The murdered woman was about seventy years of age, though quite active and vigorous, ‘THE MURDERERS.

AMERICAN INTERESTS ViewNa.—A letter received in this city to-day from a gentleman in Vienna, states that Mr. Louis J. Hinton has Tesigned his pesition as secretary of the Amsri can artisian and scientific commission, and that Mr. Lines, of this city, has been appointed in his stead. Mr. Hinton is one of the interna tional jurors for the exposition, and resignos because he is charged with the preparation of reports for the government and a report for the state of Massuchusetts, and had no time to attend to the duties of secretary. The practica' commission will probably leave before the end of the exhibition, in asder to prepare their re- reports. At the time the letter was written the chief American commissioner had under con- sideration the appointment of experts to ex- amine the machinery exhibited by other nations, with a view to ascertain how much has been copied from American models, Tre BLockape Ruyyxer Virernivs Orrict ALLY RECOGNIZED AS AN AMERICAN Vise Shortly after the arrival of the steamship Vir- ginius at Kingston, a Spanish war vessel entered the harbos, ostensibly to watch and detain that vessel. Upon an examination of the papers of the Virginius, which were found to be correct in every particular, the authorities at Kings ton informed thé commander of the Spanis! | ger ag that he must leave the harbor. Short- 'y after the crew of the Virginius, which had been shipped by a commercial months, unless sconer dischar, charged. They being in a foreign port, our consul informed the captain that they were en- titled to three months’ extra pay, which the captain refused to give. Of his action the State department was informed, and our consul has been instructed to collect the three months’ pay or distrain the vessel. This confirms the para- graph published in Tue Star yesterday, to the effect that our government recognizes the Vir- c= as an American vessel, and is entitled to ts fullest protection. The Public Debt. The following is a recapitulation of the state- ment of the public debt of the United States for the month of July, 1873, just issued : Debt Bearing Interest in Coin. Bonds at 6 per cent. Bonds at 5 per cent. two men, each charged the other with inflicting the blow in the stomach which occasioned Mrs. Lampley’s death. They both confess to taking hoid of her for the purpose of restraining her from making an outcry while they rifled the house. The only lady was effectually silenced. ‘They then prized open the cupboard in which the money was kept (including a considerable quantity of gold coin), and having secured this, they leit the premises. EXCITING INCIDENT OF THE TRIAL. The trial began at Annapolis on the 7th of May last. On the morning of the 8th, when the cell of Hollohan was entered, it was found that he had worked the irons off of both legs. Sub- sequently he was brought into court with Nicholson, and the trial was proceeding, the states attorney making his closing argument, when Hollohan suddenly sprang from the pris: gner’s box, and rushing at Deputy Marsal Frey, struck bim violently over the head with a heavy piece of iron wrapped in a stocking. Nicholson also sprang out of the and rushed toward Fry, when an in melee ensued. Detectives Pontier and Shaffer rushed to the rescue of Marshal Frey, to protect him from the murderous attack of Hollohan and to secure the criminals. Hollohan was struck, his head being badly cut, blood streaming over his face. Marshel Frey, though terribly stunned, was able to assist in subduing the prisoners, both of whom were overcome and andicuffed. After the excitement subsided the trial of the case was proceeded with. It was given to the jury at 1 o’clock, who soon returned with a verdict of guilty of murder ia the first degree. THE LAW’S DELAY. Nicholson’s counsel contrived to add six weeks to his life by raising a technical point, which was subsequently overruled by the court of appeals. In the meantime Hollohan had been sentenced to be hanged, and Governor Whyte had signed the death warrant and fixed Jane 13th as the day tor carrying it into effect. Sub- beri 4 the Governor E proment Hollohan a reapite till August Ist, and also named this day for Nicholson’s execation. AFFECTING PARTING SCENES. Yesterday morning the two children of Nich- olson had an affecting interview with him in the prison. Upon entering both ran towards him and clasped their arms abvut his neck. After kissing them he talked earnestly with them as to their future, and he being much affected the little boy asked: ‘Papa, what makes you ery?” While the unhappy man was talking to bis children the door ot the visitor's room Was again opened, admitting the father, mother, brother and wife of Nicholson. Placing the children upon the floor, he grasped the out- stretched hands of his father and mother first, ent for two , were dis- $1,281,027 ,150 00 + 445,771,40 Debt Bearing Interest in Lawful Money.

Mr. Joseph P. Wilson, of the Broadway M. P. church, (formerly of’ East Washington, ) who had in the meantime entered the room, held a prayer-meeting. Mrs. Nicholson was deeply affected by the earnest prayer of her besband, and in her own prayer called upon God to so shape her life that she might join her husband in Heaven. During the interview Nicholson asked his pron oa illle, 3 a a ated his prayers regularly every night and oral, ,» and received an aairmative reply. ‘The father then requested the child to repeat the Lord's Prayer, and all kneeling down, the child repeated the prayer, and added to it seve- ral beautiful and touching words, chief God might be to his father, might meetin Heaven.

THE PRISONERS PINIONED. About 9% o'clock, Sheriff Kane, who was in the main entrance of the building, was informed that the religious services could be brought to a close at any moment he thought proper, and he walked into the directors’ room, where at the tine the prisoners and those assembled were engaged in singing. Both SS were startled at his entrance, but exhibited nosymp- toms of fear. The sheriff was accompanied by three deputies, and they, without a word, pro- ceeded to pinion the prisoners, to which they there were probably one handred and fifty persons in themain hall of the jail, and on the ground within the enclosure many of whom were smoking and patiently awaiting the hour of execution. coats mentioned—the cut-away morning coat, the Prince Albert walking or reception coat, and the full dress evening coat.

The police and sheriff's officers were here also ; 25 police on duty in the yard, and about 150 on the outside. There were probab! 200 persons inside the enclosure, besides the of- cials. This crowd was very orderly, there being no loud conversation whatever, but on the out- side some ee, parties now and then sent up a shout of derision, but the police quickly stop ed it. The exercises in the directors room censisted of singing, prayer, and short religious addresses by the prisoners, who were both calm and com- posed, expressing CONFIDENCE IN CHRIST, after which the sacrament was administered by the Rey. Penfieid Doll Wilson. rters and the public were ex. cluded from the directors’ room, it being in- tended that the sacramental service should be as private as ible. At 9:30 0’clock Col. Kane was notified that the exercises were concluded, and the = ready to receive him. He entered the directors’ room, followed shortly atter by the board of visitors. The prisoners’ arms were pinioned firmly behind, and the hands tied with asmall rope;a black men cloak thrown over their shoulders. Being asked if they were ready, they responded inthe affirmative with firmness. squad of police entered the jail and marched through to the gallows at five minutes to 10 0’clock. The door of the direc- tors’ room opened, and THE PROCESSION, headed by Sheriff Kane, followed by Hollohan, And the present is—well, mixed.

There is a virtue in the air such as is not found elsewhere. There is perfect freedom in dressing, tadies wearing just what they please throughout the day, or rather whatever they find best adapted to their occu- pations and pursuits. There are two or three distinctive Seg in fashions represented—what may be called the traditional style, the Paris styie, and the Amer- ican style; but to call the ordinary, utilitarian, independent mode of dress fashin would be s misnomer—it is the correlative of tashion, bat not fashion itself, layed, and himself up accordingly.

The Execution. At seven minutes to 10 o’clock there was a quick dropping of umbrellas and turning of faces in the jail yard towards the point at which the prisoners were to come in view. Sheritf Kane and Deputy Roseman came first; next the tall form of Hollohan, who wore oyer his gray suit a short black shroud, with Chaplain Doll aud Rev. Mr. Norris at his'side. Hollohan wore on his face a broad smile, and looked around in the crowd apparently for some friend ur other HOW SARATOGA LOOKS. Saratoga was never more lovely than now.

The hotels have increased eyes inquiringly towards the crowd. accompanied by Rev. Joseph P. Wilson and W.S. Edwards. The procession, amid almost painful silence, walked up the scaifold, the prisoners showing no faltering whatever, and they immediately took their places BENEATH THE BEAM. A few words passed among those on the scat- fold, and Sheriff Kane turned to the crowd, the greater portion being on the north side of the seaffold, and said the prisoners desired to say a few words. HOLLOHAN’S DYING SPEECH. Hollohan advanced to the rail, and laying his hands thereon, said without a tremor, in a loud voice : Friends and Brothers: You are aware that I have been convicted; [acknowledge the justice of the sentence and am perfectly willing to give up my life for the crime which I have com- mitted. There is nothing like Ohristianity and brotherly love. it 18 better than gold.

The prisoners ascending the steps of the platform with steady steps, and the countenances of each beaming with smiles. Ar- riving on the platform Sheriff Kane said that Hollohan desired to make a few remarks, (The dying speeches of Hollohan and Nichoi- son, which follow, are reported in our special dispatches above.
