EXECUTION OF THE NEGRO GEORGE WILSON FOR THE | W# led to AND INCT- DENTS AT THE SCAFFOLD—THE CULPRIT DENIES WIS GUILT TO THE LAST MOMENT—CURIOUS IN- MURDER OF CAPTAIN PAI STANCE OF RETRIBUTIVE JUSTICE. ‘The last act in the Eudora tragedy has been enacted. George Wilson, the murderer of Captain Palmer, of the echooner Eudora Imogene, at City Islan¢, inthe month of November last, expiated his crime yesterday afternoon by being executed at the town of White Plains, We-tches- ter county, in this State. The culprit dled terror stricken; end, unprepared to meet his Maker, ite was laun shed into eternity with a lie upon his lips. The hilarity aud hard. hearte.ness which characterized every action of the cul- prit upto the very day of the execution, entirely de- rertea him when the fatal moment arrived. He lived a bravado, but died a coward. It is scarcely necessary for us to enter into the - parti- culars of tue horrid murder of which Wilson was con- victed the 26th day of November last Captain William Palmer and Gilbert Pratt, of the schooner Euitora Imogene, were most brutally murdered in their beda, and their bodies thrown overboard by the assassin. ‘The vessel was scuttled so as toefface all traces of blood; but the act was a fruitless one on behalf of the murderer, for it only served tothe more closely connect the extraordi- nary chain of evidence which was arrayed agaiust the perpetrator of the douple murder. ‘Wilson was captured while maxifig his escape from the sipking vessel, and detained in¢hegprison at White Plains on suspicion of murder. Weeks gagd months rolled past, and although almost superhy y exertions were made to recover the bodies of the ae men, stil! no traces of the corpses could be disco . The prisoner was then brought to New York on charge of revolt and mu- tiny; but the Court was obliged to dismiss the complaints for want of jurisdiction in the matter. Application was made for the discharge of the prisoner, and there boing no legal charge against him, it was granted by the Court, and Wilson was freed. But he did not long remain so, for in a day or two afterwards he lgd the fool hardiness to come to the United States Marshal’s o‘tice with a view of obteining some old clothes of hie. He walked into the lion’s mouth indeed, for the authorities in this city imme. diately arrested him on charge of revoit, and while he remained in the Tombs the body of Captain Palmer, strange to say, turned up, aud once more the prisoner was caged. He was then taken to White Plains, where he was in- dicted and tried for the murder of Captain Valmer. The trial ended in a conviction, and ihereupon Wilson was sentenced to death. The conduct of the prisoner during the trial, and even while the jury were deliberating upon a verdict of life or death, waa not marked by either peni. tence or shame, but on the contrary he exhibited nothing reckless! be ness and hilarity durmg the entire proceed- Des. The fecling in the vicinity of Island, the place where the murder was committed, was very -trong against the accused, and many threats of lyncbing hua were made by persous who seriously meant what they said. The atrocity attencing wn intense excitement in the surrounding townships, that for months “the Budora ”* was the principal theme of conversation. the excitement attending the murder revived two-fold. The execution of the porson who.could commit “uch an atrocious crime was an event looked forward to by thousan’s as a sort of jubilee, ‘THE EVENING BEYORE THE EXECUTION. About siz o’clock on the evening previous to the day of execution, our reporter, in company with about halt a dozen persons, visited the culprit in his cell. The pri soner was manacied, hands and feet, but nevertheless he wore acheerful air and bade the visiters good eveniug with the most perfect ease and familiarity. Wilson was ‘ound sitting on his bed in ap nude state, and in to ell around him with as much nonchalance as though he was holding _ this powition be talked ahd lewee at the st.

Wileon appeared quite weak for several minutes after being placed in the chair, and had to be supported on each side. The exeeutioner then fixed the fatal noose around his neck, and bending down bis head, asked him earnestly if he had any confession to make. After a few seconds of breathless suspense, the executioner exclaimed in a loud voice, ‘‘ He confesses: he eays he did it.” The culprit then drew up his head instantly, and gait ‘‘ No, no; 1am innocent.’ The Sheriit and one or two officers then west up tohum and asked him whether he com- mitted the crime or not. The prisoner, in a low but tinct voice, said ‘Iam innocent; | was misunderstood, Several inéffectual attempts were then made to make him confess, but he firmly maintained his innocence. During this time there was a great commotion among the crowd gathered on the adj Toofs to witness the execution. Order being restored, Mr. Lockwood came forward and addressed the assemblage as follows:— 1 was with the prisoner last evening, and the greater part of this morning. I conversed with bim upon rell- gidus matters, but he said he did not want any religious instruction, ‘All he wants 1s to die quietly. At twenty minvtes past one o'clock the rope was fixed around the neck of the culprit, the black cap was drawn over his head, and all the necessary preparatious for the exeoution were declared to be in readiness. At twenty taree minutes past one o'clock the fatal signal was given, the axe descended, the rope was cut, and instantaneously the body of the murderer swung high in the air. For three minutes after the rope was cut, the eines struggled violently. At the fourth minute the last convuisive throb ‘Then life seemed to be extinct. sould be discerned, although the pulse continued to beat until the fifta minuie. departing life was visible.

Wilson was about 27 years of age, and says he was born in Pennsylvania. A’New York policeman, who was present at the execu- tion, says he saw Wilson in this city, and that he remembers quite distinctly his being sent to Blackwell's Island for some misdeed. ‘Wilson told the clergyman he was but, strange to say, be refused to have a minister of that faith ip attendance upon htm.

ANOTHER ACCOULT OF THE APFAIB.. ‘The difficulty in this church, which has been in exis tence about eighteen months, has created quite ap. exeite- ment. It appears the up towa party (who are im the minority), are determined to close the church contrary te the wishes of the members and congregation, The down town party took possession of the church on last Saaday, and bas kept it up to Friday afternoon whenthe up towners hired @ person, it is said, for $600, and he em ployed @ gang of men to take possession of the church, who broke some of the wudows, and finally effected am entrance, and took possession for a brief period. The down town party. hearing of auch a proceeding, repaired to the church, While about 200 sympatbrsers gathered round the editice, and declared the dowa town party bad the best right to the church. About this time Captain Leonard, with a posse of his meu, cleared away the crowa who thronged tbe church in front. The down town made a demonstration, and forced the doors the church, anc succeeded in gaining an entrance, when the up town party ran out, aud in thefr flight and hurry, the police gave them such @ lesson as will prevent them from coming again. Great praise is due to bis Honor the Mayor, who ordered a force of-police to take of the church ‘n order to prevent a disturbance, and Oap- tain Leonard, who was present, acted in a praiseworthy manner.
