And to show, too, how far the efforts to change public opinion as to the righteonsness of his sen- tence were carried it may be mentioned that rumors wero extonsively circulated that tho murdered man’s wife was anxious and endeavored to procure the vorana- tation of the death sentence upon the man whos hand deprived her of a loving and devoted husband, and put her heart in mourning all her days, ‘The spiritnalists were also prossed into service, and the Cincinnati papers published what purported to be a communieation from the spirit of Captain Menter, to the etfect that his happinoss in the other world could net be all think of it.

A WINAL PRAYER was then delivered, Exgleston knecling down and join- ing in it with intense feeling. The law called for bir execution between the hours of tweive and two. It Jacked only ten minutes of the latter when the speech was delivored. ‘The Sheriff adjusted the rope and fastened it to the rusty ring in the beam overhead; a slight shudder passed | throngh the frame of the condemned as the white cap was drawn over his head and face; he muttered fare- wolls anf prayers, in the midst of ‘which the irap-door fell, obodiont to the Sheriff's touch, and the wretched culprit felt to the ground full ton feet beneath.

Bg- gleston, now straggline in its death agony, bung sus- pended from the gallows beam. The horrid drawing up of the shoulders peculiar to those hung by the neck until they are dead wae observable for torec minutes, and itis probable that at the expiration of that brief period life was extinct. The body hung for over half an hour, was then cut down and coffined for interment in the potter's feld, or among the graves of friends, provided any claim that augmonted by the execution of Eggleston, and that he (it) hoped that the Governor of Kentucky would com- mate his sentence.
