t 8 THE GALLOWS. Execution of John Jackson, Kit Hubbard’s Accomplice in the Spring Garden, Va., Murder, Details of the Atrocious and Barbarous Crime. A Man of Sixty Murdered for Fifty Dollars by Two Negroes. A Horrible Scene at the Gallows. The Condemned Man Falls Only Two Feet and Struggles for Right Minutes. PITTSYLVANIA CouRT Hovsr, Via DaNViLLE, Va, Feb. 24, 1 “I'm almost off.'* This was the expression made on the 25th of No- vember last by Kit Hubbard (colored) to John Jack- sen (also colored) as he entered the cell of the latter, em route to the scaffold, and bade him an evernal farewell. A few minutes later Kit Hubbard was launched into eternity as one of the perpetrators of one of the most diabolicai murders on record. John Yackson was Hubbard’s accomplice, but had not been tried when he was executed. To-day Jackson met Nis terrible fate, There was a signal, followed by the dismal suriek of the trap-door, the body of the murderer swung in mid-air, and his soul had Winged its Might to the regions of Immortality. He was wholly off. THE DETAILS OF THE HORRIBLE TRAGEDY for the participation in which Jackson has expiated with his life are as follows:—During the latter part of June last Jackson aud Kit Hubbard were seen in me vicinity of Spring Garden taking notes of the position of Mr. Joseph E. Anderson’s house, care- Tuily ascertaining the geography of the plot, the mode of life and general habits, besides the means) of the latter gentieman. At midnight on the 4th of July last they were again seen near Mr. Anderson’s house, and as soon as they saw the lights disappear in the rooms, and judging that all the inmates were esicep, they approached the door of the house ‘hrough (he porch and knocked gently so as to arouse the old man only. In afew moments Ander- son came to the door and asked who was without, when he received a reply that they were customers Who wished to buy some cakes (Anderson kept @ general store), and the old man came out and leaned over the railing in front of the house, He had no sooner presented himself to them than they set upon him, dealing him a murderous blow with a roughly hewn billet of wood, battering in his skull, Anderson fell senseless, and the murderers entered the house, rifled the casn drawers, carrying @ff about Alty doliars In money ana also several documents which referred to some other property. On coming out of the house they found the poor old man on his feet, standing in the porch, and fearing lest he should recognize them Jackson picked upa huge stone, weighing twelve pounds, and smasied his head till he scattered the brains on the railing and the doorpost, They next dragged the body into the hallway, siut the door and decamped to Lynch- burg. In their haste they had left an old pistol in the porch of Anderson's house; this weapon was sul uenily recognized as belonging to Kit Hubbard, and this, combined with the lact of his being seen im the neighborhood on the night in question, led to his arrest and finaily to us belng executed. In his last confession to a re- presentative of the HeraLp he implicated Jackson as being the man whe actually gave the plow that deprived Anderson of his life, and repeated the de- tals of the murder of which the foregoing is a synopsis. Jolin Jackson was arrested shortly after the trial &nd sentence of Kit Hubbard, and Was confined im @celion the Moor beneath’ that where his con- demned accomplice Was awaiting punishment. On the day of Hubvard’s execuuon the two murderers bad a brief interview, during which Hubvard made the impressive expression above mentioned, Jack- Bon Was tried at tne fall teria of tue Circuit Court at the court house here, and after a short ume the (pz! returned with a verdict ef guilty of murder in ¢ first degree. The Judge then prenounced the terrible flat of the law, which was cair.ed into effect to-day. HUBBARD’S CONFESSION. When Kit Hubbard was on the scaffold be made ive @ lengthy conjession as to the murder, in which he suid:—Jackson knocked at the door two or three times, when Mr. Anderson answered, lit a candle and tien came to the door, He asked Jack- son if he wauted to buy anything. Jackson asked din if he had any cakes. Mr. Anderson said he was Out of cakes and assed if be wanted anything else. Jackson then siepped ito the door and pretended to be looking around as if to see Waat was there. AS Mr. Anderson turned iis back Jackson strack him weveral blows with a walking stick which he had in hus hand, knocking him down, and as Mr. Andersen attempted io halloo Jackson seized him and choked him and beat nim on the beard with a reck which I banded him. | had been stauding on the road in front of the store watching, and when Jackson called to me to bring him the rock I did wi KITS CONFESSION CONFLICTS materially with that made by Bis accomplice, who expiated his crime on the same scafiold to-day. Alter stating wat the inducement of obtaining $1,500 by the murder and robbery was held out by Kit, Jackson says:—We accordiigly made our ar- rabgemeuts and went to Spring Garden, where Mr. Auderson kept lus store, arriving there a littie after night. sr. Anderson might have been asleep. When I kuocked at tue door Mr. Anderson salg, ‘WHO 18 THAT? I think I told him, ‘it is somebody who wants to deal some.’ He opened the door, and was to his might clotnes, With a lighted candie in his hand, Kit was Blanding just outside of the door as 1 went in, Me toid me to biow the candie out, and I did so," As I blowed the ligut out Kit stepped in the door, and, with a large rock in his hand, knocked Mr. Ander- son down. I don't remember whether it was @ark much that might or mot. lam certain Kit nit the old man at least two, if not three, licks ‘with the rock in his haud. Kit then went and un- Jecked the iron safe; the key wasin the lock. He found and took Out something which proved to be Confederate money when examined the next morn- img; don’t know whether he took out anything else or not. Kit told me where the cash drawer was, anid told me to look in there for money and see what could dnd. I looked in there, aud what money [ found I putin my pocket. Kit also told me to look on the desk, wich I did, aud feund some smali pieces Of money, coppers and alckels, which I put 4m my pocket.” dackson then goes on to detail the manner of their escape to Lynchburg, and then says:—“1 think tue noise heard by Mr. Anderson's son at the house was when Mr, Anderson asked us, aiter he had crawled into tbe porch, ‘Who as wat? and the noise of his fall upon the floor when 1 struck him with the suck. I don’t know how much money I got out of tue cash drawer, it was nothing like as much as filty dollars; I remember two five dollar bills, several one dollar bilis, and smaller notes, Kit and I divided it, he Yaking oue doliar and I one, until we got it divided; T never knew or had anything to do with Baira and his horse thieves; never was in Pitisyivania before that trip; bever was in 4 difficulty beiore in my Lue, eXcept one in Lyuchburg after the surrender, WHEN I STRUCK A YANKEE SOLDIER With a bottie for abusing my mother, I was carried before the Yankee oflicers, but they did noumug with metoril. Ihave heard kit frequeutiy mention the names of a good Wany men Who ke said had money, but never-Went imto any arrangement to rob er Kill any cue of them. 1 have no doubt Kit was a ringleader in the horse thefts which ave occurred in this section since the war. He was perfectly familiar with the whole country and knew every- body. 1 think Kit was associated with Frank Gass and Abram Logan, two negroes who infested the country around Lynchburg some months age, steal- ing horses. 1 have not seen or neard frem them since Mr. Moorman, ef Vampbell, lost his horses about eight menus ago. Kit was a bad man, and it was through him that I am tn this terribie fix. It almost breaks my heart to think that J suffered my- self to be ied off, and of tre TERRIBLE CRIME Ihejped him to commit. 1 make this confession as honestly and as truthfully as ii 1 were now standing on the ScaJold with the rope round my neck aud wy doom at hand, SKETCH OF THE MURDERER. Jackson was born tree at Chariotte Court Honse, in Unis State. When a boy he went to Pamplin’s depot, on the Southside Ratiroad, where he re- mained until the breaking outel the war. He then weut io the army as a servant with a cavalry com- pany, baving, like many other negroes, at the time ‘we most orthodox Southern principles, He re- mained with this company until just before the sar. render, when he visited Bis mother at Lynchburg and was engaged by Majer Paxton as a wagoner in the quartermaster’s department o/ the Coniederate army. He continued in this position until tbe sur- render, since which time he became demoralized and eked oul a subsistence in @ most questienabie monuer, His mother, wife three children now reside in Lynchburg. Jackson is about twenty- seven years of ‘The Condemned iman was one of the most pertect petuens of negro physical develepment ever seen. le Was over six feet In stature, squarely and power- Jully built, with the limbs and muscles ef @ Her- culcs, aud Weighing abont 200 pounds. His complex- LAST NIGHT OF HIS EARTHLY LIFE he was cheerful and seemed resigned to Lis terrible fate. A coiored preacher, the Rey. Mr, Philip Only, had been in regular spiritual communication with hit since his death sentence, and he expressed the conviction that he would be forgiven at the great tribunal before which he was so soon to appear. In 4 comversation with your correspondent and others he salt he woul’ not swap his chances with auy of us, not by ten years. Last night he ate a hearty sup- per, bade his jailer a night and retired at the usual hour of bedtime. Though heavily manacied he slept soundly, and awoke this morning, lor the last time on earth, refreshed and in good spirits. About elght o'clock he breakfasted with all the gusto and relish of aman that had an appe- Ute and the further prospect of enjoying a good din. ner. During the morning he was Visited by afew friends and your correspondent, te whom he reiter- ated all contained in the above confession. When gmeoes as to the conflicting statements made by it Hubbard and himseif in regard to the murder of Mr. Anderson he said that what Kit told was false. He had related the entire trath, and was LBD INTO THB COMMISSION OF HIS CRIME by Kit, who, he said, was a bad mao. Notwith- standing, however, that Jackson’s tale bere all the semblance of candor and truth, yet, at times, when subjectea toa strict and searching cross-examina- tion, he prevaricated and frequently contra- dictea himself, ‘This became so apparent re- ceutly that many here, intimate with the circumstances of this terrible murder, are inclined to believe that neither Hubbard nor Jack- son has told the truth and that beth of these criminals have gone to their last account with a faischood on their lips. The fact ts that after the murder Mr, Anderson was carried when a lifeless corpse to his bed at the back partof the store, ana there laid out with care, bis limbs placed in orderand his hands folded across his breast as if iriends had prepared him for shronding. Both the murderers denied having placed him in this position or bis | removed him off the porch where they murdere him, and yet there he was found next morning, while it was impossivie for him to have crawied there. Like that of Kit Hubbard’s last day, TUR MORNING OF THE EXECUTION was Ganay gloomy, with snow, slush and red mud under foot, and a thick mist, or combination of a cold rain and sleet, overhead that made it fear- fully disagreeabie. Despite this there was a large crowd in attendance, principally of negroes, and quite a number of whites. By eleven A. M. the pub- lic square was thronged, numbers of the white Visl- tors being mounted, and all heroically braving the inclemency ol the weather to witness the tortures of @ condemned fellow being. Jt was evident that @ majority of these peeple had come miles, and, in response a remark of mine that it was strange tuey should turn out in such weather and on such @n occasion, Mr. William M. Treadway, a lawyer here, said, ‘that, in the expertence of one of the oldest sheriffs, it was a diferent crowd that cameon HANGING DAY to that of any other. The faces were new, and they were of a different class of peuple from those usu- ally seen on pubiic day: THE SCAFFOLD, which was of the ordinary class of such struc- tures, was situated in the ‘gallows field,” about a mile to the northeast side of the iown, Tuis aas been the place of public execution from time 1mme- Mmorial, aud is regarded with a certain feeling of mingled horror and superstition by the colorea pop- ulation, and, Indeed, by many of ie whites, There were the uprights, crossbeam and platiorm, with its trap door, allowing a fall of not more thas four feet, and, like most of the scaffolus erected by inex- perienced persons, entirely inadequate jor the pur- pose of immediate death. At eleven A. M. the criminal was conducted from the jail te the front of the Court House, where bis FUNERAL SERMON WAS PREACHED, by the Rev, Philip Only. This was the first of the ceremonies of the day, and was a sensational, semi- poe Soe harangue, to which the crowd listened with marked attention while standing be- tween slush and snow and sleet andrain, Nearly half an hour was consumed by this address, and the fortitude both of the criminals and the crowd under the trying circumstances were worthy of the high- est commendation. This concluded, under direc- tion of Sherif James H. Collie, the condemned, in charge of @ guard, was marched trom the Court House enclosure, foliowed by a crowd of citizens on foot, and preceded by boty cavalcade on horse- back, towards the gallows field. The solemn cor- tége moved slowly forward, wading through the thickened mud and slush fn silence, if the splashing and plodding neise of the march is excepted, and in a short time the miserable structure of a scaffold burst upon the view, like some grim spectre, in that dismal old field. Confronting it Was ANOTHER GALLOWS ‘where some wre'ch had expiated a crime in years gone by. They were surrounded by a few scraggy, stunted pines, around which the crowd on [005 clustered and the horsemen formed a cordon out- side. Jackson, perfectly unmoved, walked upon the drop, with the halter around his neck and the rope dangling to his knees. There was anogher short sermon and prayer, and, preparatory to being launched into eternity, sackson was asked if ne had anything tosay. Drawing himself to his greatest height, with his hands clasped in front, he substan- tially said what is contained in his contession, as+ serting that Kit Hubbard was the principal in’ the crime, and had led him (Jackson) to the tragedy of to-day. His head nearly touched the crosshbeam of the gallows. Deputy Sherif! Hutchins tuen pin- ioued the arms behind and the ankles of the con- demned, A moment afterwards and tne black cap, just fresb from the HANDS OF A HANDSOME WHITE GIRL whom I saw making it in tne jail, was drawn over the features of the condemned. The rope was then thrown over the crossbeam and securely fastened. At avout twelve o’clock M., by the ume here, though it was considerably later, the bolt which secured the trap was withdrawn, and the powerful frame of Jackson fell, AND HORROR! only two feet. There was a violent commotion in the crowd as they pressed closer to witness the dying struggles of the criminal. His convulsions and contortions were fearful 0 witness, the lower limbs being drawn up repeatedly, with vio- lent heavings of the chest and entire body, These struggles continued for over eight and @ hall minutes, when they became less perceptible, and they soon ceased altogether. The soui of Jackson had winged its flight to the regions of eternity. At twenty minutes past the heur at which the drop fetl LIFE WAS DECLARED EXTINCT by the attending physician, Dr. Richard White, and in a half hour the body was cut down, placed ina cottin and soon aiterwards committed to its mother earth. The features when uncovered did not ex- hibit any traces ef the agony the criminal must have endured. They were calm and piacid as the repose of a just man, The crowd dispersed and the scene was ended. THE BROADWAY JOB. HARLEM, Feb. 23, 1871. To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:— Under the head of “Extraordinary Proceedings,’ in your paper of to-day, you refer to the Broadway job, and 1 think, from what I learn from sources not to be doubted, and which if probed to the bot- tom, would bring forth some strange proceedings, ‘that the thing sheuid be thoroughly investigated and exposed. It would trespass too much on your ime to enter fully into partculars, and I will only con- fine myseif to one case. A piece of property at the corner of Broadway and Forty-second street was awarded damages to the amount of $50,000. This 1s all that could be ebtained. The owner of the property died, and the property Was purchased by @ party holding a posiuon, il I mistake not, in the Comptroiler’s office. A short tUme after I saw pubiished ip the HERALD the awards for some of the ong. & taken for the Broadway widening, and, among them, this same piece, and set down, not in the name of tne ijate purchuser, but in the gentieman’s name who owned it, and who was dead, at $160,000. This is a fact, and facts are stubborn things; and this doubtiess led to tne proceedings before the Grand Jury you reter to. Is this the only instance in this job?” Of this you can determine as well as anybody eise. Who made this alteration? One of the Com- missioners, Who ts said to be an henest, upright man, declared to a iriend of mine, a relative of the former owaer, who 1s dead (as the last purchaser 1s also dead, and, strange to say, both were buried trom the same house, and that within s1X montis), that he knew nothing about it, 1 think it bign time these boulevard parks and parade grounds and jobs of that kind were iaid epen vo the public either by the Grand Jury er some ower process. Well may men ride behind ten thousand dollar horses, build princely stables, and roll in wealth and luxury, I this 1s the way that tuings are done. Only @ figure (1) placed before the 60. Who did ity ‘That is the question. 1t was done, without a douvt, not oy accident. And, further, why a bill before the Legisiatare to annui this broadway job? Is there something behind the curtaimy May there no: be? It was intimated to me that parties in the ring had toousands of dollars’ worth of property in this same job, in the name of the man who was Killed by acci- dent on Eighth avenue some tme since, and which is now locked up in is young children, to their deiriment. As your paper is perfectly independent, and dem- ocrats and republicans, Tammany and all the rest, are thesame to you, why not ferret out these rais that are gnawing the pockets of the honest tax- payer? Think ofit, My desire is to have exposed this Whole matter, that tue public may judge. {am not interested fm the job. Yours, &c. A TAXPAYER, BRUOKLYN NAVY YARD.

GOVERNMENT FREIGHTS TO THE PACIFICO OOA8T, Mr. STEWART, (rep.) of Nev., from the Committee on the Pacitic Railroad, reported upon the question of transportae tion of government frelghts on the Pacific Railroad, recom- menaing that the interests of the government would be eub- served by transporting all freights everland instead of via Panama, and that by retaining fifty per cent the semi-annual interest would be provided for, The report of the commit tee, in writing, was ordered to be printed. Mr. CARPENTER, (rep.) of Wis, from the Judiciary Com- mittee, in response to a resolution of the Senate in regard to the tion by government of more than fifty per cent of naportation over the Pacijic Railroad, submitted Written report averse to the opinidn of the Attorney General, claiming that under the provisions of existing laws govern: ment has not the right to retain more than iifty per cent of the amount, Mr. EDMUNDA, (rep.) of Vt., in behalf of the minority of the commitive, siated that bo bad not had time to submit a minority report, and desired the Senate to understand that he did not concur in the views of the majority. ‘The report was then ordered to be printed, THE TEST OATH, Mr, TRoMnULt, (rep.) of Ill, from the Judiciary Commit- tee, reported favorably a bill ‘repealing the test oath, and ed to be discharged from further consideration of the dent's Message.

He said that the object of his motion was to obtain an op- ortunity of expressing his opinion on ‘the s Commission. He had intended, if he could ave obtained the floor, to’ offer a preamble and resolution which he be- lieved embodied the opinion ot two-thirds of the mem- bers of the House, that it was manifest destiny that all portions of the North American Continent and the adjacent ‘ands must in the course of time be aasoci- ated together under one general government; that such inevitavle annexations and changes of allegiance should be carefully prepared and facilitated, and that therefore the declaration by the High Commission of the absolute power right of the British American colonies to withdraw their piace by a vote of @ majority of the inhabitants and to seek stich Other national connections as they elect would be halied as an actof high amity and wisdom that would greatly allay. the unhappy irritation now existing be- tween the United States and Great Britain, He withdrew the amendment. Mr. Woop, (dem.) of N. Y., inquired am to the item of 84,0 for expenses incurred by the Untied States Legation in'Paris in protecting German subjects in France, and whether the German government would not reimburse those expenses. Air. DAWES, (rep.) of Mass., replied that the German gov- erament bad’ offered to do "so, but that our government thought {t would be @ small business to go into an account on such a matter, and preferred to pay the expense itaelf. Mr. Woop expressed himself satistied with that explana- tion. ‘Various propositions were submitted by Messrs, Wood, Brooks of N.
