Last Hours of the Condemned—Prayers in the Prison—Fifteen Hundred Persons in the Prison Yard—Remarks of the Criminals—Their Execution. S. . NEWCASTLE, Feb, 4, 1870. My despatch of yesterday gave the full particulars ofthe crime commitied by the negroes Jones and Carpenter, condemned to be hanged to-day at this Place for committing an outrage upon one Mrs. Meredith, The events of to-day close the rigid en- forcement of the laws of this State relating to the crime mentioned. VISITORS TO THE CONDEMNED. Allday yesterday the friends of the prisoners were passing !n and out of the prison to say fare- weil and to cheer them up in view of their fate 80 rapidiy approaching. The mother of Jones visited im in his cell and was much affected. Jones, however, did not seem to manifest much feeling, and when she went away remarked, “1 don't see de use of all dis here blubberin’; it’s all over, anyhow, Ise a gwine toglory, sure." Carpenter's relatives seemed to ignore him enurely, His mother, he remarked, came to see him several days ago, but bad not been there since. On visiting the cells this morning Jones came forward to the grating with a lively step. In each hand he held a piece of bread, an1 was industriousiy demolishing one piece after the other with considerable voracity. In reply to an interrogatory as to how he slept he Trepiied, “First rate; never sleeped better. Guess have a tong sleep next time.” He then asked for a cigar, but not having the article he was handed a paper of tobacco. As he took it he said, “1 guess this will last me all my life.” Jones seemed in every respect resigned, Tne case was not so with Carpen- ter. He came up to the grate door of the cell with a trembling step; his eyes glared wildly, and he seemed to be under the influence of great terror. He said ho had slept htile during the night, thas he felt miglty bad, and had not much appetite anyhow, RELIGIOUS EXERCISES IX THB PRISON, Farly this morning the trons were taken off both the prisoners, Carpenter was conducted into Jones! cell, where religious exercises were administered by” Rey. Charlies Spencer, of the Episcopal Church. Mr. Spencer having retired several of the friends of the prisoners were admitted and remained for @ short time, At half-past ten o’ciock Stephen P. Whittthgton, a colored preacher of the Methodist denomination, accompanicd by seve- ral elderly megro men, enterei the ceil. Mr. Whittington began religious exercises according to the Methodist. manner. After singing and praying for sowie minutes, thas peculiar refrain 80 popular in negro religious ceremonies was com- menced, the prisoners joining tn, After a few min- utes the prisoners were worked into a frenzy of religious excitement. They jumped and shouted so as to be heard throughout the entire prison. This scone of plous enthusiasm was kept up until o few minutes betore twelve o'clock, PREPARATION FOR THE BXECUTION. While these scenes were transpiring inside the prison the last arrangements necessary to put the scafiold in working oraer were being compieted. The scaffold consisted of two upright posts eignteen feet in heght, with # crossbeam. The drop was twelve feet. The platform was the same height from the ground. Tue crossbeam was about six teev clear above the platform, aud over this beam the two ropes were secureiy fastened, with a guiMicient siack to allow the bodles to drop about five feet, A palr of steps led tothe piatiorm. The drop cousisted of a platform, supported by a rope, which, running over the beam above, followed down @ brace in the rear, THE CROWD. Ateéleven o'clock tne turnkey of the prison al. lowed the crowd which haa gathered on the outsid to pass tn, moving througu the main prison hall and out into the jail yard. ‘The crowd had nD athering on the outside for several bo ‘rom al airections, in ail sorts of conyers: they came 1n¢o the town aa if it were o ocea- sion. ‘The day broke tis merethg Ciear and co.d, and remained-60 ut! aiier the execunon. ‘This en- abied the cout people Ms oct tn. During tue ta- terval of tei errival aud their admittance the hote.s au Zin mills did @ brisk trade. Belore al- lowimz the crowd to enter ex-Sherif Willham Her- vert, deputy, gave the following p.oce of advice trum the main prison steps to the buisterous crowd presa- ing to get in:— GENILEMEN—Before opening the doors I desire wo make a few remarks. It is to be hoped that on tity occasion you will one and all couduct yourselves with the propriety befitting the occasion; chat no one will indulge in any levity or wadecoming con- versation, and that in passing from these doors to the scene of the execution you do it as becomes gen- tlemen and not roughs. All the celis had been locked stace earl: morning, so that ho commumeation could be had between the passing crowd and the prisoners.
