-_—. RULLOFF'S RACE RUN. Execution of the Philological Murderer. “GRIZZLY OR MAN, BUT GAME.” The Last Hours of the Condemned—His Levity, Profanity and Obscenity. TIME IS GETTING SHORT. Scene at the Scaffold—~No Con- + fession. “ BrnauamTon, N. Y., May 18, 1871. ‘The last scene in the life drama of Edward B. Rulioff is over, and the curtatn, in the form of a felon's shroud, has falien over all. It was » drama full of incongrulties, crammed with incidents and q@londed with blood-tingea mysteries enough to sat- iaty @ mind the most morbid in its cravings. Out- aide of this little town, feverea at the presence of the criminal, it has had its audience wherever the press would reach; for although tne murder for which ‘the strangely organized being was hurnea out of existence was commonplace enough, the mind of tme murderer, in all its subtle power and studious bent, at once raised the questions of his trial and doom to the rank of the causes celébres, It 18 not @aay to analyze hastily the constitution of a mind so Warped and at the same time so powerful, for the reason that, with one exception, it was all expressed M™ negatives, This exception was his positive love ef the study of languages, im which ne was an en- ‘tMusiast, and of a PROFICIENCY RARELY ME WITH am its critical accuracy. For the rest, when bis conversation denoted affability, 1% would be impos- sible for a stranger to have adjudged bim otherwise than as a good-heartea man. Some of the chapters @f his past life show that he could, when tt suited his purpose, pass for the model of an honest, quiet, inoffensive citizen, with an apparent love of chil- @ren ana regard for those about him, and with but ® pardonabie vanity on the side of his so-called sclence of language. This, {t must be remembered, ‘was continued for years at a stretch, leaving 3a sad doubt whether the honorable pomts of HIS HRLLISH CARBER ‘Were merely the result of a forced interpretation of circumstances or the radical base of tne character AMeelf. His bearing throughout was, up to the Jast forty-eight hours of his career, ene in which he showed a power of adaptability to circumstances rarely met with. Even then his constitutional ease of bearing Cid not wholly forsake him; but nis mo- ments of bitterness, passton or profanity clearly showed thut he was and had been A MOST CONSUMMATB ACTOR in the achools of duplicity and crime. ‘The execution took place this morning at thirty- four minutes past eleven. How so remarkable a criminal spent his last twelve hours will be interest- mg. After the changing phases of the previous thirty-six hours, since he knew that nis doom was irrevocably sealed, midnight of yesterday found Dim again immured in bis books studying his philology apparently as deepiy as ever. At hali-past twelve Mr. A. L. Root, the Sherif of Tompkins country, entered the jail. The condemned man greeted him with a smile, and after salutations chatted freely about anything save the subject on which the Sheriff wished information. ‘This was as to the disposal Which Rullomt bad made or the BODIES OF HIS WITE AND INFANT DAUGHTER, as well as those of bis sister-in-law and her child, His efforts in this regara were unavailing, and after reading a letter for a Rev.

Tuen be turned to mapping out mathematical puzzles and showing them to his astounded watchmen, who looked on hum with open mouin and eyes as either a or a monster, they could not tell which. “Look at this, Tom,” said Rullom; “see what you think of it,” showing him one of those mysieries of res of Which the rule has never been reached, “You see, any Way you read it, in 4 straight line, tt makes fifteen.

For not one moment did Rulio! give himseif a panse. At length waid the watchman:— “Edward, your business matters In this world ought to be pretty nearly fixed.” Rullowt startea up and said, thoughtfully, +*Yes, 1 guess they are.’ He was thoughtitl fora minute, and then he broke forth once more into lis LEVITY AND OBSCENITY. It was now three o'clock, and at this point a re- porter, who, in his indecent, pitiful anxiety to ov- tain the shadow of one item for his blanket sheet, stood in front of Rullofts cell for half an honr pester- ing him with questions upon the doomed man’s un- Gnished book. After finding that Rulloff would not give him any information of the morbid sort the reporter relieved the man at deatu's docr by going away. Not content with this, the anxious, pitifal creatare got in and crouched behind the sheet iron door of the cell und remained there for some time alterwards, eavesdropping congeniuliy. Four o'clock sounded and the man continued his les, rd,” sald the watchman, ‘MID YOU MURDER THAT MAN, Mirrick, or not?” “1 did not, It was Al Jarvis who did it. wp ana PH snow you how it happened, k's fault.’ Here he went through a pancomime, showing the Stand ft was all relative positions of the two young dry goods clerks, his two accomplices, Jarvis and Dexter, and Bimeelf, His demonstration, withont going into unpleasant details, tallied with his statement en the trial, but conflicts not only with the statement of the surviving clerk, Burrowes, but with itself, he, tn fact, averring that Jarvia fired the fatal shot while grasped from benind by the murdered man Mirrick, The impossibility of Rulloff’s explanation will be seen in the fact that Mirrick was shot in the back of the he Rullor reverted to his books in, and while thus engaged five o'clock boomed out on the dawning day, Which which was to be the last that would ever dawn for Ruliof The deep sound fell on his ears and he etarted up with a look of anxiety. “What o'clock 1 that, Thomas?" “Five.” “HA!

The wildest rumors got afloat concernigg attempts at suicide by poison, confession, aud FIRST VISITOR B in his new apartment was H. L. Root, who called late on him the night before, He conversed cucer- fully with nim, but ieeeey ncials) about his crime. He asked after several of his old acquaintances. Mr. Root sald some of them were outside, and Rullof asked if possible that fee mieht be poluted out to him from the window which overlooked the crowd, now swelled to jatge numbers, As the crowd out- side caught a glimpse of him he was immediatel: recognizea, but beyond pointing bim out to eacl other no demonstration was 1. His counsel was the next to call. Rulloff received him kindly and appeared sorry for tne affronts he had heaped the day before upon a man, who, what- ever his course, had worked hard for hin. Rulloir toe a) that he bad nothing to say, and con- tnned:— “T am sorry, Geo! to see you feel bad: I guess you feel worse thant do."” BECKER (the connsel)—Did you tell any one any- thing abeut this thing? RULLOFF—NO, BECKER—I wouldn’t arlvise you to, either. It would seem that whatever chance might have existed of @ copfeasion being made, the selfish tactics of rival parties effectually prevented it. In the conversation which followed Rulloi bitterly re- flected on what Doc. Sawyer said in the papers re- specting his philology. On the subject of his tm- prisonment he satd:— “I was arrested on the 18th of Augast; this is the Asth of May. Just nine months tn prison.”* He shook hands with Becker, and thanked him and Mr. Whitney, who had just entered. “You have worked herd for me, and I hope you will obtain your reward in life. Ihave done my work—one which it will take GENERATIONS TO APPRRCIATH.”? pant I do anything in reference to your dy? RULLOFP—Yes. Mr. Sheriff, would you see that Becker has my body until uly brother sends for it? Thac will be better, perhaps, than the arrangemeut of yesterday (burying him in the Potter's Field). ‘The two lawyers now took their leave, and Rulloff was asked would he eut any breakfast. He said he was not huugry, but accepted a bowl of coffee, which he sipped from time to time through the morning. As the police officers and others of the town called on bim to goodby, to one of the tormer he said, playfully, ‘Sears, I’ve @ mind to take that club of yours and knock you on the head with it.” At nine o'clock they brought some clothes to put on nim for the execution, He had by this time, nine o'clock, assumed a PERFECT COMMAND OF HIMSELF, which, while he lived, did not desert him. Aaron Schutt, the brother of Rulloti’s vanished wife, requested an interview. ‘This the latter tartly refused. Two well meaning clergymen, one of them a Bap- tist, the Rev. J. D. Pope, and A. Reynoiis, offered spiritual consolation throngh the Sherif. Rulloff again refused, He was now told that the: would dress him. He, however, said be could do ft himself, and iminediately set about it. He combed his hatr before a mirror With great care, he adjusted his seedy biack frock coat as it it was of the highest imporwance that 16 should set well. His feet were swollen from the shackles wnich he had been wearmg up to the day before, and conse- quently his boots hurt him when drawn on. He Wok them of again, lay down on the ved and lifted us feet for some inthutes 16 bring down the swell- ing. He succeeded somewhat in this, but not com- pletely. He continued HIS REPULSIVE JESTING, | thoroughly bearing out his dedant cynicism. The effect of this on the generally simple minded men around nim cannot readily be appreciated, With a creditable humanity they bore with it, and even helped to keep up his grave-clothes jollity, repng- nant as it was to their feciings. He asked that his | books be given to his brother, Outside ‘he prison the crowd by ten o’clock num- bered thousands. There were a great many ladies and children among them, but since nothing could be seen there was more harm in the intent than in fact. One citizen had run an upright lad. {der through the roof of his house and mounted on it. He was so far rewarded for this risk of life by just being able to see Rullom pass through the door to the scaffold; that was all. At this hour BRE a + EP eae * =" THE GALLOWS WAS TESTED, with a bag of sand weivhing 190 potiids. At the Oirst essay, according to measurement, a man of Ruillofs heignt would bia Ay lifted about eighteen inches from the ground. The halter was thereupon shortened, and at the second trial a deputy heriff declared that it worked to Acharm, A litue ware Was scured out on the ground, directly under the gallows, for the condemned to stand upon, Wien all this was seen to, the faces of those about the jail yard became earnest in expression. The yard is a Inte den, twenty feet by — thirty- two, wiih high walls, which ‘shut out everything but the bright sky overhead. At hall-past ten o’clock the Forty-fourth regiment New York National Guards marched down from their armory on Court street and formed a cordon around the jail so shat no one unless armed with a summons to certify to the carrying out of the seu- tence, or a special deputy sheriff's cara, could pass By this means aione were the reporters enabled to be present. About one hundred and fifty persons assembled in the yara. ‘They were either offictais of the Binghamton municipality or else officials of other neigh! ing cities and counties. They were Sheriffs, ex-Sheritfs, District Attorneys, ex-District Attorneys, Mayors and ex-Mayors, City Marshals and ex-City Marsnals, Besidés these were some fifty representatives of the press, mostly of the rural order, with AUGE NOTEROOKS, on which they kepe contmually making notes, with @ anigare @ good deal removed from good taste. The two clergymen who ontered their services managed to sip out into the yard and, to their shame be tt sald, had wretched unclerical taste enough to remain witnesses of «# scene of strangulation in which, as min- isters, they could take no part, and hence should not have gazed upon tne agony of a wretched being simply to gratify worse than idle curiosity. One of them was prominent during the execution, standing on a ladder which was lying on the ground by the wall, Chief of Police, James Flynn, with the entire force under his command, six constables, entered the yard about eleven and pushed back the expectant witnesses of the 0 as to Make way for the proc a clear space in the corner THE GALLOWS BEAM, With its pendant rope, jntted out. The beam, the rope and a signal cor] were all that was visible im the yard, the welght (265 pounds) hanging iy Sheriff Martin's stable, as also, of course, the rope which was to be cnt releasing the weight when the signal cord was pulled. Deputy Sherif Edminster was stationed tn the stable. an axe In one hand and the signal cord in the other. Now followed a tedious half hour to those in the yard, during which, however, the doomed man, witb only forty minutes to live, was laughing, joking and cynical as ever, At a quarter past cleven Deputy Sherif L. R. Brown entered the room where the prisoper was, with the halter and the strap tor pintoning Ge arms behind, When Rullof saw these he NEITHER QUIVERED NOR OUAILED, His face was paler than usual, but that was the only external sign of emotion visible. One thing in hus dress pow became paintnily evident—viz., the colorieas shirt, open at the bosom. As Brown ap- proached him ve snomited with a smile t the pintoning of the arms, and bowed head as the fatal © was thrown @ and drawn tu loosed: was about to be form and said cheerily:— “Boys, | must shake hands with you a’ for Pil do notuing OF the sort down stairs, All present shook bands with him, and as they were again about to move Ruiloft said:— r “You Won't have any clergymen bellowing down nor prasers, NOR ANY DAMNED BOSH, Mr. Shevtt:” replied round bis neck, A procession dd when Kuilof, iurned round up here, wiil you, ‘herit, Whoappeared much rim ne how moved slowly 4 uot walking rmly, with only his bau stairs, ual stoop of tire shoulders and his hy ds in his pants’ pockets.

When the gallows. beam reached Rullof! was cau: to stand 1 the little square already = marked ont. The beg | of the knees and ankles was quickly with and tho haiter was fastened to the nick Tope above, The Sherif came tn front ot me wretched man and sald:— “The chief deputy will now read the warrant.’ Deputy Usborne berouvow commenced reading (he FRIDAY, ! warrant, which was a} document, yocsting, Ral- fot, congemnailon tobe tanged on the Fa jae an ‘mation ‘ot the erdlot nad sentence ts the Court or ged at Elmira, It occupied ten mmutes in rei ig, and during that space of time the word! document was but litue Metened to, the bet ing of the pagan the centre of obser- gesture oner bein; vation.

AN EXPRESSION OF HORROR spread over all and the steady voice of Deputy Os- borne, while distressingly audible, was not listened to. At length the warrant was conciuded and ner- vously folded away. The sheriff, still standing be- fore the unrepentant murderer, said:— “Mr. Ruilofl, have you anything to say hefore the sentence of the law 14 carried into effect ?”” Kullof answered, after about the pause of five heart beats, “NOTHING AT ALL.” The Sheriff moved round to the left side of the | dying culprit and satd: — “it now wants twenty-six minutes of the time which | had fixed in my mond for carrying out the sentence of the law upon you, and if you have any- thing to say you shall be given time to utter it.”? Ruhoff clenched his Iyps, but did uot speak, After about a minute he turned to Brown, who was at bis side, and said, almost Inaudibly, as if apolo- gizing for the pinions on his limbs, =~ “J CANNOT STAND STILL [7 ‘When the tension of mind at length became some: thing awful the Sheriff sald, “it is not your desire to say anything.’? Rulloff shook his head. “You do not desire any delay 1’ Another shake oi the head, The Sherif mauve a sign to Brown, who tovk off the cap on Rulion’s head and substituted the white cap, which was pulled down over his face, He then gentiv pulled the noose, which was run up taut. He then eis a smart puil to the signal cord, and the bouy wi RAISED WITH A SUDDEN JERK three feet from the ground, apparently dislocating the neck, The force of the upward movement threw his right hand, with a spasinodic movement, out of the pants pocket, but asif the stubborn will of the dying murderer was resolved to assert itself 1n very deflanve of the gate of etermity, after o few efforts to find the pocket YHR MAND SLIPPED IN AGAIN and remained there, This was the only movement made until life was extinct. In nine minutes Drs. J. H. Chittenden aud Daniel 8. Burr discovered that the pulse was beating twenty-one to the minute. In twelve iminuies it was imperceptible, and in thirtcen minutes there was no uise. At four minutes to twelve the body was jowered a little, and there was a very faint pulsa- tion of the heart. After hanging cugey minutes he was pronounced aead. At the end of thirty-three minutea the coffin was brought out and tue body lowered ino it, On removing the white cap the face appeared as tranquil asif asleep, There was a red mark on the back of the wrists, where they bad been pressed agatust the pants, Such is the last scene of all in the life of one of the most persistent and intellectual criminals who has ever paid the penalty of justice for manifold crimes—Rullof, the murderer of wife and child, the homicide of a sister-in-law and her infant, the slayer at last of a brave young man who simply stood it the way of bis committing robbery, What intellectual attainments, linguistic learning, metapnyaieal subuety or defiant unbellef, sustained even unto death, can cover with a halo of even sen- timental regret such a continuous SEMI-CENTURY OF INFAMY? The answer ts found in the general relief felt in the anerring censor—the public mind—that one such Iife, in ali its degrading incongruities, is cut short forever. Rulloff has ieft two letters—one in Greek, at pre- sent being transiated; the other to nis former land- lord mn Ticrd avenue, desiring him to dispose of his | effects, The body was disposed of according to Rullof’s wish made yesterday moruing, as stated in the interview with his counsel, RalloM’s Last Crim So much has the interest excited by the peculiari- ties of Rulloff absorbed public attention that the facts of the crime which the old fox, after all his doublings, was trapped at, are but dimly remem. bered among the long list of his other and older breaches of the moral law. On the morning ot the 17th of last August the dry goods store of Halbert Brotters, Court street, Binghamion, In vis state, was entered from the rear by THREE BURGLARS. There were sleeping m the store at the time, as. muarciaus, two young men, Frederick Ay Mirrick \ | and George Burrowes. ‘The burglars effected an enirance without creating any alarm, and had = packed up three bundies of allks before either of the young men was awakened, | When some noise caused them to start up, they found three men in masks bending over thera in the bed. One of the burglars TOLD THEM TO KEEP QUIET, and one of the three began to make nis way out. two brave young fellows immediately ieaped upc the remaining burgiars, Burrows" deaiing on of them several severe blows upon the head with an fron instrument, wl fur Opening cases. This ove then ran away, leaving tle third burglar clinched with Mirrick, On hearing the struggie the first burglar returned, and, after fring tree shots at Burrowes, missing him each time, atvanced on Mir- rick and . SHOT MIM DREAD. The burglars then made good tueir escape for the time veing. The crime aroused thesown of Bing- hamton toa state of tury, and parties were orgs nized by James I’lynn, ¢ { of Police; Eras Canip- bell, of the Fire Department; by Simmons, the mill owner; (very citizen, in fact, constituting himself an officer, At the end of two days two bodies floated down the Chenango river, and it was foand from indisputable evidence that they were two or the bur- giars, Meanwhile an oldish man had been arrested, | and telling a plausible siory Was released. He was again arrested, gave the pame of Howard, and on A DEFORMITY OF THE FOOT being noticed, corresponding witha pair of boots left behind by the barglars in their Might, ne was thia ume detained. This man was recogmzed as Rullom, and finally, through a clever course of detective management, seton foot by Chief Flynn and District. Attorney Hopkins, of Binghamton, and co: cled by Cap tala Hedden and detective Phil, Reilly, of the Fti- teenth precinct, the identity of the shooting burglar as Rullod, and his association with THE DROWNED MEN, * who turned qut to be noted burglars, named re- spectively Jarvis and Dexier. The rest of Cals story iwiold in the shocking scene at Binghamton yes- terday. Through the entire time since Ruiloit’s arrest up to his well carried out execution, too much praise cannot be bestowed on the Sherti® of Broome county, New York, Mr. F. W.

UNION OF CANADA WITH THE UNITED STATES. Aupexation Convention at July 4, 1871. To TRE PKoPLE OF THe UNITED STATES AND THE Buitiss PROVINCE Nearly one hundred years ago thirteen out of fourteen British colonies of North America resolved to sever their connection with the mother country, and to establish a nation for themselves, war of seven years their object was accomplished, the one colony refusing to join in the effori for inde, pendence, This action of Canada would seem strange con- sidering that it bad just been conquered from Ningarn Fallin, France, and therefore could have no sympathy | with England, and its determination can only be accounted for by mixdirecticn on the purt of 1s leaaing men, or by mere ident, which oftea directs the most important events and forms the nations of the earth.
