The Execution of Two Murderers. THE HANGING OF JAMES MCCAPFREY AND BENRY L. ON ONE GALLOWS, AT NEW HAYES, CON- NECTICUT. At an early hour, yesterday morning, the picturesque city of New Haven presented. very animated appearnce. People were {crowding, from ail quarerts of the city, towards the jail, in order, if possible, to obtain a sight of the two murderers announced to be executed om that day, between the hours of ten amd twe o'clock. The morning was chilly, and at intervals 2 shower of rain fell, but not encugh to damp the ardor of the anxious spectators, who were pressing near to the jail with an idea of obtaining admittance, or at least of being grati- fied with a sight of the suspended culprits at a dis tance. Sheriff Parmelee made every arrangement necessary to insure good order, and, at an early hour, three com- panies of military were called into requisition, consist ing of the New Haven Greys, Capt. Arnold; the Na® tional Blues, Capt. Quinn; and the Governor's Guards, | Capt. Hendrick. These three handsome looking sod well dilled companies formed in line across the street in front of the jail, and on either side, ex- hibiting a very imposing appearance--thus keeping the front of the jail clear of the crowd that would otherwise have blocked up the whole thoroughfare, Around the jail 72rd wore, suspended large pleces of canvass, some fifty feet high, to prevent those ata distance from obtaining # view of t ecution ‘The gallows wae erected in the jal \ at form, or, at least, we mean the drop, being elevated ten feet from the ground; and the uprights and cross beam to which the ropes were attached were raised about the same distance above the platform.
