oo oF ee a NEW YORK HERALD. SATURDAY, JULY ©, 1867. ; THR GALLOWS. Execution of the Negro Joseph Williams at New Brunswick, N. J. FULLCONFESSION OF THE PRISONER SCENES AT THE SCAFFOLD. ee Religious Fervor of the Con- demned Man. INTERVIEW WITH BRIDGET DERGAN. SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THE HERALD. New Brunswick, July 5, 1867. Nearly seven months ago the quiet little townshipof Mouroe, near New Brunswick, N. J., was the scene of a bloody tragedy. Two colored men, Joseph Williams aod Hobo A. Reddick, lived in the same house, occupying rooms on opposite sides of a hall tbat ran through the heuse. Williams was keeping bachelor’s hail, and Reddick was married. A difficulty arose ‘between them pelative to a utenisi! of household furniture, lent to Mrs. Reddick by Williams, and the latter beeame very angry and muttered something about “being the means of putting some of them in thelr graves before the matter was through.”’ Five minutes after he came out of his yoom with a loaded gun, and after addressing afew werds to Reddick, who was standing in the yard, sud- @enly drew the gun to his shoulder and fired, Reddick fell dead on the spet, the contents of the gun having entered hie right side. Williams went up toa neighbor Smmediately, laid down the gun and gave himself up. ‘TEE TRIAL. He was brought to New Brunswick, committed to Jail, and at the December term of the Middlesex courts tindioted for the murder of Reddick. On being arraigned ‘m court the first time Williams plead “guilty.” The Court would not accept the plea, and assigned bim eounsel. Owing to the lack of time on the part of the court to try the case tho trial was post- poned until the April term. On the 224 of April, 1867, the trial commenced, and lasted wnt! the afternoon of the 25th, when the case was Bi,en to the jury, who brought in a verdict of “Guilty of wurder in the first degree,” after staying out of Conrt only an hour and a half, ‘itllams was sentenced to be hung on the th of July. Judge Vredenbergh pre- siaed over the court. Williams never denied the killing © Reddick, id the excuse given by him at the time for committing the ermme was self-defence. The ploa, of course, did not hold good. PRISON LIFE. During the long, weary days which intervened be- tween trial and execution, the condemned negro con- doered bimseif in a most exemplary manner, showing evident sixns of penitence, and willing to receive visits from the ci*rgy and others’ desirous of bolding religious ecnversation with him. This demeanor gained him much sympathy, and an attempt was made to procure a cuwmutation of his sentence to imprisonment for life. ch, however, proved unsuccessful, as Now Joreey is like Mexico on the questiion of commuting the sentence ef «eath, The following letter was written at the dic- tal the condemned prisoner, on July 4, to one of bg female friends in New York :— 1 glad I received your letter this morning. I am lad to ver that you are well. I thanked God, when your fetter seached me, T have had # minister from New Braus w calied this morning and we made it one of (iod's yer, He leaves the body to receive.

At nine o'clock this morning a company of the New Jersey Rifle corps surrounded the jail for the purpose of pre- serving order, fhey were assisted by the police force of New Brunswick A large crowd of men, women and children congrevated ouiside on the green, aud about one hundred perscns were admitted to the jail vard to wit- ness the execation. A large proportion of these were deputy sheriffs, with their stafls of office in their hands, in peace with my Savi ur, TRE SCAFFOLD consisted of two upright posts, abont sixteen feet high, connected with a cross piece, and was placed in tho northwest corner of the yard. Near it wasa sort of closed pen witha door. Inside of this were a pulley and an iron weight of three hundred and eighteen pounds, which was attached to the rope that rau over the cross beam and which was to suspend Williams. this weight was held up by another until the fatal moment, when the rope was cut by a stroke from’ an axe where it passod over a beam, the culprit being placed on tho ground wnderneath ‘the scaffold, and suddenly raised about two feet from the ground, REL‘GIOUS FERVOR OF THE CONDEMNED. As the fatal hour drew near the prayers of the doom man grew more tervent, ard the six clereymen with bim, one of whom was @ colored preacher, redoubled thetr exhortations, Hymns appropriate ‘for the dread occasion were sung, during which Williams gave forth frequent ejacula- tions, such as—‘'I see my Father,”? “Welcome King Jesus ;”’ “the gates are open to receive m 1 want to go right away;” “this is really God’s day ;” “my. Jesus will give me toeat and to drink and to’ wear;” “oh, Lord, come, quickly; “brethren fear not death—it is dio; “meet ‘me in heaven, for] shail be there ‘to-day I shail sing with the angels in heaven— glory’ be to God.” Whiie on his knees bis body swayed to and fro after the manner of colored persons during religious excite- ment, every fibre and rousele in motion, After a ume he was requested to get off his knees and sit down, a3 he might be tired. No,” said he, “I'l ait down in ry soon.” Hi s soon requesied to stand up, and while in that position ciapped his bands and danced for very joy, uitering expressions of hope and prayer for sinners, calling him in glory when they lef. tui of fear of death or doubt appeared to cross his mind during the whole morning. Ou an expression being made that he might be sustained in bis bopeful strain of mind to the inst, and that bis soal mi be saved, he said, “Dou't be uversy, brethren needn't think Tam goimg tue otber ¥ T Shail surely be in beaven before twelve o'clock; be Fure you meet me there.” He was consulted about the disposition of his body avter death, He said, “It matters not who's going to bury my body. Ihave nofrends, Iam calbd an Ethiopian man, but, glory to God, this day the poor Eth. opao ts eoing 10 be in Heaven. Friends will take care of tue body, Out Jesus will take care of the soul.” THE HOCK OF DEATH. Atlength the hour of execution crrived. About ten ex-Sherlif Cox came iuto the cell with a suit of clean clothes, and said, “Joseph, we are come to drese you,"’ He responded, “All right; I am prepared to go.” On Mr. Cox saying that it was a nice sult they were going to put upon bin, be said, “Fil bave m better one on soon in glory.’ He was then dressed in a pair of black pants, white vest, black merino sack coat, white shirt and collar, and whilo adjusting the collar be sad, “[ don't want any standing collar, for God don’t want aay; I'll look weil enough im hi sight.’ Aiter he was dressed and the noose placed around his meck, ve was ied to the door of the cell and the death warrant read to him by the clerk of (he court. This long and wordy document, occupying some twenty Minuies .n rending, did notdiscurd his equanimity ta the least, and at the close he said: “Ail right—fiod be praised.” He was then asked, “Brother, do Fou feel that the Lord is with you?” “Oh, yes, 1do'’ He was advised to keep his mind constantly on heaven, and not allow himsel: to be distusbed by the surroundings, whea he said: ‘Never fear for me, the Lord is with me," jo then expressed a desire to see Bridget Dergan, condemned murderess of Mrs. Coriell, As he srood at the door of her cell, she sat inside plunged ina state of the deepest deyection. The womaa lifted h ound, and they fell upon the omino: dark-«kinned predecessor, with bis arms bound and the deadly nooe around bis neck. She sonk down agin. cowering and sobbing, whe ber face became of a iy color.

BANKAUPT COURT. The Powers of Registers Defined, Before Judge B'atchford. In the Matter of Charles A. Morford, Petitioner for Adju- dicatgon of Bankruptcy of Himself.—In this case the peti- tioner bas applied to the Register for leave to amend the schedule to bis petition, and the Regiater has denied the application upon the grounds and for the reason that the power of ordering amendments to the schedule rests entirely with the Court and that ovly the Judge can allow such amendments.

Second, if the Registers can aliow such amend- ments, whetber such amendments can be made directly before tne Registers, and certitied copice thereof be fled with the clerk, or whether the original amendments permitted to be made should be filed with the Clerk, aud the Rexisters thereafter receive copies from the clerk as in the case of the origina! petition and sche- dules, By section four of the Bankrupt act it Is pro- vided that every Register duly appointed and qualified shall bave power, and it shall be bis duty to sit in Chambers aod despatch there such part of the adminis- trative business of the court, and such uncontested matters as shall be defined in general rules and orders or as the District Judge shall in any particular matter direct.

Of course the co-ordinate power of allowing them in lke cases also exists in the Jucge. The original amendments permitted to be made should be flied with the clerk and ip max: them the pro- i of rules 14 and 38 of the geveral orders im bani: sruptey, before referred to, should be observed. When they are go flled the Register will act on them im con- fortuity with rule 7 of said general orders in bankraptey, and rule 4 of the ruios of this court in baukrupicy. ‘Tho clork will wake acertiicate to the Register in accordance with this decision.

He is five feet ten inches in height and weighs one hundved and fifty pounds, Although on the present occasion he has been badly whipped he has always heretofore borne the repu- tation of being game to the core and a pretty hard caso to handle, Pete Weaver is @ moulder by trade and was born in Lowell, le weighs one bundred and thirty-four pounds, and at the present time stands tive 'eet seven and 2 half inches, Tho present mill, although money was staked to give contidence te betters, arose out of a personal difliculty which occurred between the parties interested at the recent fight between Boland and Cartier, and not frora just of fame or jucre, ‘The necessary preliminaries having been arranged the contes'ante—who wero tricked out in the severest pusilistic costume, including spiked shoes—etripped and entered the ring, In the toss for corners Levins won,,and chose the west side of the ring. ‘The following is a deecription of the fght:— ‘THE FIGHT.

The referee, after warning jas to be more careful In t! future to contine himself to the rales of the P. R., lowed the fighting to proceed. Time, twenty-two Levins got in a Dunderberg on Weaver's ogle. Som¥ smart exchanges followed, Weaver having the worst of it and going down.
