SCENES OUTSIDE THE JAIL. As early as9 o'clock parties gathered about the jail anxious to get admission but the ofti- cers were inexorable, and only those with paeses were admitted. Some attempted to get # look atthe scaffold from the outside but falled as there was no opening from whence a View could be obtained. iy noon there were several hundred outside waiting for the officlals to relent, and anxtous to hear whether the prisoners had made any confession. Atan early hour this morning the prisoners In the cells on the east side of the north wing were all moved to the south side, doubling up ia many cases with the others. : QUEENAN SMOKING AND SINGIN Queenan having asked for a cigar about 11'; O'clock It was given him and tie enjoyed 1 Wale, with Bedford, he continued to sing “He will bide me.” PARTIN S. 40 o'clock Messrs.

Crocker went to the cells of the prisoners and inquired if he could do anything for them, and they each expressed aud wished that tn ministers should accompany them to the scaf- fold. Bedford then offered a fervent prayer. QUEENAN HAD A DREAM last night that he was free, and was living away some distance from here, doing well.

AU5 minutes past one they sang, ‘We'il Walk ‘Through the Valley in Peace,” and Bill Queenan took a gcod-bye of his brother. Wardso Crocker and tne guards walked into this wing and the prisoners were called. Beiford was first brought out, and, shutting his eyes, com- menced to sing, “I’m so glad, I’m going to die an innocent man,” while his arms were being pinioned. When Queenan was called out he exclaimed “I am ready for you and have beca waliing for half ap hour; I’m going to die an innocent man.” They were ted to the center of the building, where Gen. Crocker read tho papers—the sentence, death warrant and ord: = ae President—to which they listened attes ively, The March to Death.

At 1:20 the procession reached the scaffold— Bedford made a slight halt and looked up at the Tope with a smile on his face, and then with a firma step ascended the steps. Queenan walked up without stopping, with his eyes resting on the beam. The Closing Scenes. On the scafiiold Rev. Mr. Gibbons gave out the bymn, “Ob! for an Overcrowning Faith,’ which was sung, and he also read selections of scripture—23d_ in, And the 1ith chapter of John, and Bishop Brown offered prayer. =. DUKING BISHOP BROWN’S PRAYER, the prisoners seemed to lose some of thelr re- Ugious enthusiasm, and listened intently to every word. The bishop implored God's for- giveness and His mercy on these two youug men, who stood up in the face of the commu- nity and declared their innocence. ‘They then took thelr places on the platform, and watie thelr legs were being pinioned, BEDFORD ADDRESSED THE ASSEMBLY Saying that he was innocent; they had sworn his Ife away falsely; but thank God, he was going to heaven. They would tind after he was gone that he was innocent. He thaaked God Ubat he had spoken the truth.

He continued, saying: “I'l bid you all good-bye, and hope to meet you in heaven.” The burial service was read by Rey. Mr. Hall, during which the caps and knots were adjusted. ‘The Fall of the Drop. Rey. Mr. Gibbons pronounced the benedic lon, and as he said Amen” the drop, at 1:35, fell, Bedford on the left, and Queenan on the Tight. Queenan was somewhat affected while the burial service was being read and gave way to is feelings. Bedford died comparatively easy, and the convulsions, which were slight, ceased in about four minutes. @ necks of both were broken by the fall, wh'ch was about four feet. Queenan strugyled considerably; especially was the twitching of the fingers noticed for five or more minutes. Drs.
