THE MAN WHO IS TO BE WANGED FOR WIFE MURDER THURSDAY—HI8 LAST SUNDAY IN HIS CELL— TAKING COUNSEL WITR BELIGIOUS ADVISERS— STORY OF HIS CRIME, Unless President Harrison changes his mind during the next four days there will be an exe- cution at the District jail between 10 and 12 o'clock Thursday, The condemned man, whose case has been finally settled at the place of last resort, as published in Saturday's Star, is Benjamin Hawkins, colorea, who murdered his wife in South Washington many months ago. Hawkins is nearly thirty years old, and has lived in this city since he was three or four years of age. “Ben,” os everybody knew him in South gton. never had a bad reputa- tion, He always worked for his living and several years ago he married a woman in his part of the city. Ben and Cora lived happily together for some time until they began to accuse each other of faithlessuess and then they separated, HAWKINS’ CRIME. On the fatal night Ben called tosee Cora, but Was told at the house that she had gone with the man whom he believed to be the cause of | all his domestic infelicity, He continued along through South Washington until he reached the house on Virginia avenue where the social was in progress, ‘There was music and danc- ing inside and he saw his wife when he looked through the shutters, He asked for her and she came out, but was careful not to let the other man see her with Ben. They left the house together and in probably fifteen minutes Cora Hawkins was dead, The jealous husband had inflicted the fatal wound with a knife and left her to die on the cobblestones in the alley Shot Gun, An old colored man witha bald head occn- pied a front seat in Judge Miller's court Satur- day, He carried on his arm a small willow basket covered with a newspaper. When the bailiff called ‘John Lewis” the old man walked up to the bar and plead “not guil of carrying a pistol. He lives in the 25th street bottem x the river, aud a crowd of coiored boys ha been im the habit of annoy- ing him, Last week when he was troubled by pistol, “Was the pistol loaded?” asked the judge of near Where the “parlor social” was held. Ben threw the knife over the fence along the Balti- | more and Potomac tracks and went to the house of a friend, where he was arrested later in the night. HIS TRIAL AND SENTENCE. After spending several months in jail he was tried, convicted and sentenced to be executed in January last, but owing to Judge Bradley's iliness the case could not get to the Court in eral Term. In order to give the con- demned man a fair show for his life a respite was granted. The Court in General Term finally passed upon the case, affirming the de- ion of the lower court. That decision was hed only a few days before the time set for the execution, and to give him time to prepare one of the boys. “I don't know,” was the reply, “but there was a cap on it.” many barrels did the weapon have?” “Ouly o it locked more like a gun than anything else.” “ft had de pistol, judge; I hadit; deed I did,” said Uncle John as he kissed the book. **Dem my windows, and last week li De ball strack me ing his hand on his stomach.) ii im de house and Dick Phillips ter it.

John Roberts of the colored Young Men’s Christian Association, who has visited the condemned man since his conviction, and Mr. Atchison of Maryland, at whose house Ben once lived, appealed to the President for a commutation of sentence and the President requested the papers in the case, which he ex- amined carefully. When Mr. Roberts had his last interview with the President Saturday he tried to show to the latter's satisfaction that the case was not one of murder, but was manslaughter, if any- thing, as he did not intend to take his wife's life. “What was donc.” explained Mr. Roberts, “must have been done in ten minutes, and “the judge told him, responded the old man, rans Ups you got that for?” end my house and family, and if any- I certainly will shoot ‘em. Ise got a right to "fend my house and family, and T is goin’ to do it as long as I am able.” The court told the old 1 , and advised him to desiro: THE FINALS IN THE DOUBLES, Pretty and Close Playing in the Dis- trict Tenuis Tournament.

As published in Saturday's Srar, the decision of the President did not have a depressing effect on the condemned man, as Mr. Koberts had told him all along that he would surely be executed, HOW HE SPENT SUNDAY. The condemned man’s last Sunday was an uneventful one, He received a number of callers during the day and took part in the re- ligious serviecs conducted by Mr. Roberts. Hawkins has few relatives, but has many friends, and has had more visitors than most n under similar circumstances. He can her read nor write and has time and time in requested the officials to admit all per- sons who called to see him. He is one of the best behaved condemned men ever confined in the jail and the officials think there is little necessity to put on “the death watch, although it will be put on tomorrow, Yester- day Hawkins arose early and ate a_hearty breakfast. During the morning Mr. Roberts called and found the prisoner lying on his cot evidently thinking of his future. He seemed cheerful and assured his spiritual adviser that he was ready to die, TAKING PART IN A RELIGIOUS MEETING, There were about fifty persons present at the religious meeting. which was opened by Mr. Koberts, Hawkins sat upon the steps behind the wire sereen and took part in the services, ‘The services were opened by singing a hymn, After Mr. Roberts had read ‘the tw third chapter or the Acts of the Apostles Hawkins made a short address. He spoke with firmness and assured those present that he was not afraid todie, Several other prisoners followed him. Misses Roberta Roberts and Hattie Brown sang ‘The Home of the Soul,” and at the close of the services Hawkins bade many of his friends good-bye forever, as he will ‘not see them again.

Ezekiel Ezra Smith, minister resident and consul general of the United States at Monrovia, has, in a letter recently received here, thus recorded his impressions of a recent examination of the leading coast settlements of what he calls “the grand country of Liberia “Since I wrote you last I have seen much of Liberia, I have visited Cape Palmas, met with the people, visited the different churches and saw something of the operation of the institu- tions there. I had the pleasure to meet Bishops Ferguson and Taylor, and the leading men generally. I was much delighted while con- yersing with Bishop Ferguson to ascertain the high hope he entertained for Liberia’s future prosperity. The ae is doing effective work. The emigrants last settled at Cape Palmas are doing well. ‘The bullock aud cart are considerably smeliyed at this point. From Cape Palmas I went to Sinoe, the home of Hon. Z. B. Roberts, associate justice of the supreme court, Hon. James J. Ross, ex- attorney general, ex-Senator Fuller and other gentlemen of influence, who, notwithstanding their positions as officials of the government, have farms, ‘The emigrants located at Sinoe ae are moving on more and more success- ‘ully. AT GRAND BASSA, Tnext had the pleasure to spend a few days at Grand Bassa, which comprises Lower and Upper Buchanan and Edina, Grand Bassa surpasses either of the towns or scttlements above mentioned in point of commercial trans- actions, While there I met some of the emi- grants who came in May, 1889, They appear to be doing well and seem contented. On the 16th ult., in company with Hon. C. T. ©. King, Hon. H.'A. Williams, mayor of Mon- rovia; Col. A, D. William, Judge Dennis and a number of other gentlemen, I cmbarked for Grand Cape Mount on a small'sailing craft. We experi d or cneountered a most tempestuous voyage, arriving at Cape Mount on the morn- ing of 17th, being quite wet and much fatigued. VISITING THE EMIGRANTS, Hon. C. 'T. 0. King, myself and others of the party called out to the settlement where the emigrants are located. After visiting each in- dividual house and looking at their beautiful, promising farm a mecting of all the ‘new comers’ was held at the school house. 0, yes, they have built themselves a school house in the center of a settlement At the meetin short specches were made by Mr. King auc elf, Afterward remarks by different’ per- sons of the emigrants were made, Each one expressed himself contented, ‘Their farms, consisting in coffee, cassada, potatoes, yams, eddoes, cocoa, plantains, bananas, ginger, rice, &e., &c., are as pretty as any I have scen in the country. They have evidently, consider- ing the surroundings, done remarkably well. I also visited the P.
