SPECIAL TELEGRAM 10 THE MERALD. Hanging of Martin W. Bates, at Burlingame. Kansas, for the Murder ef Abel Palley~ Youthful Depravity—The Culprié Only Nine- teen Years Old, &c. . Curcaco, Feb, 26, 1867. Martin W. Bates was hanged at Burlingame, Kansas, on the 20th instant, for the murder of Abel Palley. The execution took place in the Court House, at that place, at moon of that day. The Sherif of the county, hid deputies and the prisoner’s spintual advisers assembled at the Court House. The prisoner was summoned, and, cross in hand and lean!ng upon the arm of his confessor, the Rev. Father Ferrier, bowed his head and spoke at considerable length to the crowd. He opened by say- ing:— Dear Farexps,—I am about to appear in judgment If T have wronged or grievously injured any of you I hope im will forgive me, as I {eel that God, for Christ’s sake, forgiven mo. He then addressed himself to the young, exhorting them to obey their parents, tracing his own sorrow and impending punishment to dis- of hia” father, and wound up dy sayin meet you all in a better land—in Hea ol dope to Adieu, The prisoner betrayed no emotion on bebolding the gallows, but at the request of Father Ferrier knelt near the foot of the scaffola stairs, facing the halter. The last ‘consolations of roligion were then offered to the doomed man. The Rev. J. B Orwig (Protestant) read a few passages from the Seripturea, offered up a prayer, } and was going on further, when the Rev. Father inter- rupted bim by asking Bates if it was his wish still to die in the Catholic faith, Bates’ answer was Yes," kissing the crucifix. fhe priest then put his armé around the prisoner’s neck, and with great warmth kissed kim upon both checks. ‘The prisoner did not falter in ascending the stairs to the scaffold, but when upon it he again fell upon his knees by ono of the chairs, remaining about a minute, On taking bis seat the priest bade him adieu. The Sher- iff then adjusted the rope about his neck and bade him gvodby. Bates thanked Lim for his kindnoss, and sald he boped to meet them in paradise, where should be. He then roge to his feet, the Shesiff atepped. hack, and Bates said, ‘Jesus, Int me be with Thee in Paradise. ¢ Dear friends, coodby.” Here the Sheriff touched the spring, and the wretched maa was no more, dying eacy and wmthont any strageles. Bates was born in Grant county, lowa, in 1847, aod consequently was dnly nineteen years of age. He came to Kansas in 1860. In 1801, when only thirteen years old, he went back to Iowa, enlisted im the Twemy-first Missouri infantry, and served fonr vears in the army. He married a girl at Emporia, Kan-as, who, during his incarceration, bore him twins, He bas committed many erimes in his brief career,’ and the one for which he was hanged was perpetrated for robbery.
