Fifteen Thousand People Witwess the Bdifying , Death of the Pious Murderers. LAST WORDS AND CONFESSFONS. BALTIMORE, August“, 1873, ‘This morning Thomas R. Hollohan (whese right ‘name is Thurman R. Whalen):and Joshua Nicholson yielded up their lives upon the gallows as the penalty for the murder of Mrs. Mary Lampley, an aged lady, on themight ofthe 2d of January, The murder was ® most atroctous one and was fully reported in the HERALD at the time. The con- demned men «pent their last night on earth in -einging and praying till nearly midmight, under the guidance of their spirttual advisers, At twelve o'clock they retired to:their separate cells, and in ten minutes arterward ‘both of them were sleep- ing soundly and peacefully. At five o'clock this morning they nose and dressed themselves neatly. Nicholson asked for a bath, which was given him, and both men were shaved, Then they had their break(ast, consisting of ham, eggs, coffee and bread, and each ate a very hearty meal. At eight o'clock the clergy, accompanied by some devoted members of the Methodist Church, were admitted to their cells, and religious exercises occupied the «Mext hour. Fervent prayers were offered, hymns were loudly sung, and the long corridors of the | :Jail resounded with the music of strong voices in THE SIMPLE HYMNS OF METHODISM. As the excitement of the solemn mement began ‘to tell upon the condemned men they showed more nervousness than at any previous time, and, in- deed, more than they exhibited upow the gallows, They joined in the hymns with loud veices, Hollo- han swaying his body to and tro, twitching his | hands and biting his lips, while his eyes had an un- easy, shifting glare. Nicholson several times broke imto tears, but quickly repressed them. The men were next taken into the directors’ room of the jail Their spiritual advisers were closeted with them there, gnd till nearly ten o'clock they re- a@mained engaged in A MOST IMPRESSIVE PRAYER MEETING. On entering the room the hymn, Alas! and did my Saviour bleed? ‘vas sung, the prisoners lending their voices to the strength of the chorus. The Rev. Mr. Doll then offered prayer, and the preparation of the Holy Communion was next procecded with. The Rev, Richard Norris.consecrated the elements, and the Sacrament was then administered by Rev. Messrs. Dol and Wilson. The prisoners partook of it in fleep silence, with their heads bowed, while of all those present there was no one whose face was not | suffused with tears. As the clergy handed the bread and wine to the prisoners, they looked up | devoutly and their lips moved as if in prayer. When the Commupion had been conciuded nother prayer was delivered by Rev. Wm. 8. Ed- | wards, The prisoners were then invited to speak, ‘and both of them didso. They related much of the evil experiences of their past lives, professed re- pentance and repeatedly asked for assurances of God’s pardon. This the reverend gentleman as- sured them they would obtain if they were truly | p Holloban then voluntarily knelt and prayed aloud. His language was beautiful and bis expression remarkably sincere. At half-past nine o'clock notice was given to Sherif Kane that penitent. ‘the religious services had been concluded and that | the prisoners were now ready. The Sheriff then entered the room, and Hollohan and Nicholson, advancing towards him, took him by the hand. The Deputy Sheriffs, Goodrich and Roseman, ac- companied Colonel Kane, naving with them the fopes for pinioning the men and the short black gowns which were to cover their bodies, THE GENERAL PAREWELL was then spoken; the ministers and the gentle- men accompanying them each shook hands with the condemned men, and each expressed to them his hope of @ meeting in a vetter worid. The Sheriffs fastened the men’s hands behind them and the gowns were put over their heads. The mourn- ful procession was formed and passed through tne main hal of the jail, and through the yard to the gallows, Hollohan and Nicholson walked | Qrmly; a smile hovered on the lips of | each and neither showed the slightest fymptom of trepidation. Recognizing some acquaintances among the lines of spectators be- tween whom they passed, they nodded familiarly Wwthem. The day was bright and beautiful, ana the rays of the gun were tempered by a cooling ‘breeze, THE GALLOWS ‘was erected in the most secluded corner of the Jail—a little nook on its north side, enclosed by the gail itself and the outer wails of the yard. lt was the spot farthest removed from the public gaze; Dut it was still visible from the higher elevations on Calvert street and the hills | bounding It on the north side. Every foot of | ground from which a view of the gallows could be Obtained had its occupant. The hills were black with people, tue streets were thronged and the windows and roofs of the houses in the vicinity were crowded, At 1s estimated that fully fiteen thousauds persons Witnessed the execution despite ali the efforts to make it as private as possible. People whose houses commanded a view. of the jail yard obtained as | Much as $10 for @ piace at the windows or on their roofs, and owners of wagons drove a lucrative business in hiring out standing places on top of them, There were comparatively tew Fe Within the jail The Board of Visitors d limited the number of tickets to (60, and the | Aceon of these were crowded around the gal- jows as the procession irom the celia to the scafoid made its appearance, Within this little enclosure there was a deathly silence, while from the crowd on the outside of the jail came hoarse cries, ‘HURRY UP YOUR SHOW!” “What time is this matince to begin?” and “We gre getting tired of waiting.” As the procession entered the enclosure a great, hoarse shout arose from the multitude on the outside, and Hollohan turned about and smiled upon the crowd with an exultant air, At the foot of the scaffold there was @ momentary halt, Then the four clergymen, Messrs. Doll, Norris, Wilson and Wil- | liams, ascended it. Next came the two condemned | men, and then followed Sheriff Kane and bis as- wistants, The prisoners marched up theiong fight @! stairs without the slightest tremor, frequently halting a second to cast @ look around them upon ‘the crowd, and when they reached the platform @nd could see over the jail walls the vast multitude gathered to witness the fearful scene. They re- qoained tor some moments looking at the pan rama spread before them, sweeping their eyes around and turning about to get @ full view.

I die trusting in the merits of Jesus Chriet as my personal Saviour. Idre ana leave my dear wife and precious children in the hands of a mesoiful God. May God be with you all and save me. I vid adieu to this world.” Nicholsen commenced to speak in a clear, loud voice, but when he alluded to bis wite and children he faltered, and a great sob came into his throat; but he conguered it and continued in the same firm voice with which he had commenced. At the mo- ment when he spoke of Crone he detected him among the throng immediately under the scaffold and nodded to him. When Nicholson had con- cluded, Hollohan again stepped jorward and said ;— “d have A FEW MORE REMARKS to make. I freely forgive all my enemies, and hope those that I have will forgive me.” Nicholson came to his side and said:—‘I also wish to return the same.” And then both men returned to their place under the nooses which were dangling from the upper beam, The last moment was now near athand. The clergy shook the two men by the hand long and fervently, and when they had released them the Sherif’ placed the white caps over their heads and fastened them about their necks, The nooses were lowered from the beams and the Sheriff also secured them about the throats of the doomed, As he was fastening that of Holio- han’s the iatter said :— “Sherif, please make it tight and the knot directly under my lett ear.” The Sheriff finished this oftice and the platform was cleared. Just at this moment Hollohan ex- tended his hand as far as the ropes about his wrist would permit him and said to Nicho'son:— “Brother Nichgison give me your hand, I will bid you good-bye. I hope to meet you in Heaven !"? Nicholson held out his left hand, and for a moment be sure to put others. Then both men said to Colonel Kane, “Good-bye, Sheriff!” and each murmured the dying words of the martyr Stephen > “Lord Jesus reccive my spirit!” The Sherif and his assistants left the scaffold, and it was occupied oniy by the two black cloaked, white capped figures of the men who were stand- ing on the brink of eternity; their pores flut- tered in the breeze, and as they liited their fingers ld be seen working in nervous movements, Sheriff Kane was the last to descend, He came ¢own the steps with @ slow tread, and as he reached the ground he halted an fustant, then stretched out his hand te grasp the rope which un- loosed the trigger. A short, sharp pull was given to it; the creak of the rope was foliowed by the un- piatform together, They fell apart quickly and ly, and with a loud thud the bodies of the jell to the end of the ropes und daagied in AFTER THE FALL Nicholson's body scarcely moved; a slight twich- ing of the legs was all that was perceptible, and even this ceased within the space of two minutes. Hollohan died hard ; for five minutes after the drop feil he continued to draw up his legs iv convulsive movements—his leet trembled; after that time his body was as quiet as that of his partner in crime, The execution took place at precisely five minutes afterten, At half-p ten the body of Holohan 8 cut down. The attending physician exumined it and found that he had died of strangulation, the peck not being broken by the fail. The face was of a deep purple, but beyond that there were no extreme signs of suffer- ing, Hollohans’ body was placed in & handsome mabagony coffin, and as he has no relatives here, it will be interred in Green Mount Cemetery by the Prisoners’ Aid Society. At a quarter to eleven Nieholson’s body was taken down, and the medical examination revealed that death had been almost | instantaneous, His neck had been broken by | the jall, and in consequence of the painiess death, his Jace was as caim as that of a rson who had died a natural death. Nicholson's ody was given to his relatives and will be interred by them, With the removal of the bodies the im- mense crowd dispersed, and the first execution | which Baltimore had witnessed for fourteen years was a thing ofthe past. The hanging was con- ducted with great decorum and was utterly tree | | from anything of brutality or maukish sentiment, | A most remarkable feature of the affair was the | courage of the prisoners. Never at any moment | did they evince the slightest fear, and the last | glimpse of their faces, as the caps were pulled over | them, revealed a smile. They died bravely and un- flinchingly, at peace with all men and in the sincere hope o! future salvation. THE WILLIAMSPORT TRACEDY, panini A Claimant to the Murdered Man’s Estate—Bricf History of the McBride Family. SCRANTON, Pa., July 31, 1873, It would seem that the McBride mystery is about to be unravelled from its profound secrecy and that the history of the murdered man’s life is not doomed to be buried with him. A few years ago an old man named Hugh McBride, who is blind of one eye, was admitted for treatment into the | eye hospital of Dr. Updegrad, of this. city. McBride, who 1s a poor, illiterate laborer, did not | know anything of the Williamsport tragedy until from the H8RALD for him, It then flashed across his mind that the murdered McBride was his brother, who had emigrated to this country forty years ago and settled in the vicinity of Williams- port, and the Doctor wrote a statement of the old man's story to the authorities at that place. In reply to bis letter District Attorney G. ©. Hinman came to this city to-day and had an inter- view with Hugh McBride, who stated that his father, Harry McBride, was twice married and lived with bis first wife in the county Fermanagh, Ireland. They had @ son and daughter, named Joun amd Mary McBride, The wife died and Harry Mcbride married a second time. The result of this union was a family of nine children, of Which Hugh is the youngest. Shortly after the birth of Hugh his father removed to the West of | Ireiand, taking his wife and their children along with bim, and leaving his gon and daughter by the first wife in Fermanagh, He heard irom them oc- casionaily, and not long al his removal west John wrote to him that he going to America. The next that they had heard of him was that he had settled near Williamsport. Since then they had never heard trom him, and they supposed that | he had fot married and did not care about writ- ing to his stepbrotners, Hugh McBride says that be has three other brethers in this country—one in Kentucky and two in Nashua—and a sister in Man- chester, N. H. ‘Ihe District Attorney is inclined to believe that Hugh McBride is the brother of the murdered man and is going to work up the case and communicate with his prothers, In the event of their establishing their claim the property, whicn is considerable, will not go to the State, a8 at fret nee pened. Jobn McBride and his wife lived in great §=seclusion at Williamsport, A laborer in their employ on one occasion found $500 hidden in the knothole of an old rail, and since their death various sums of money have been found in crevices ofihe house ite surroundings. McBride owned a beautiful tract of land, 200 acres in extent, at @ place called Long Reach, contiguous to the river, The public are anxiously awaiting the clearing up of the mys- tery, and should Hugh McBride be beef the brother of the murdered man the affair will only jo show with what vicissitudes lile is fraught ‘om the cradle to the grave.

Edwa‘:d Schusretter and His Victim—The “areen-Eyed Monster Provoking Slaugh- ter—How the Tragedy Com- menced and Ended. PHILADELPHIA, Avgust 1, 1878, The dreadful tragedy that occurred at No. 606 South Second street last night bas created a thrill of horror throughout the city and is still a matter of great excitement, On every street corner, in every hotel and on the street care it affords the principal theme of conversation, as it has been but rare indeed that such a bloody transaction has been chronicled in this city. The murdered woman, Mra, Edward Schusretter, and her bus- band, were well known throughout the entire neighborhood of the murder, and beyond a little gossip among those intimately acquainted with them as regards his inclination to be jealous of her at times, mo thought ever entered their heads that he would be guilty of murdering both himself and wife. Schusretter was but twenty- eight years of age, and was by profession an operator in finé steel work, He was a native of Vienna, Austria, and came to this country afew years ago.and settled down in this city. Several months ago he became acquainted, through @ mu- tual friend, with Miss Mary Rehr, a stepdaughter of Edward Herring, who keeps a carpet store upon the first door of the premises in which THE FATAL RENCONTRE happened last night. The murderer and suicide was an accomplished musician and ais company ‘was sought by the best German families of South- wark. In May last he asked Mr. Herring for the hand of his step daughter, to which the latter gave Dis assent, and on the evening of the 27th of that month they were united in marriage at the Catholic church of the neiguborhood, Alter the solemnization of the wedding, Schusretter re- sumed his usual avocation and the couple com- menced housekeeping in tne third story of No, 606 South Second, the furniture of which was pre- sented to them by Mr. Herring and Mary’s mother, who was Herring’s wile. Their wedded life seemed to have been of unalloyed pleasure, without a single feature that would render them unhappy, and during the first month it was the general re- mark among the neighbors that ‘it was a fortu- nate union.’”” Last month, however, THE FIRST TROUBLE came and Schusretter lost his situation. Coupled with this was an intense hatred he formed for a former beau of his wife who occasionally called at the house. He frequently expostulated with her regarding his rival, and she, never imagining that he was really in earnest, laughed the matter away. Ashort time ago he learned that both ng wife and her stepfather haa been talking in un- complimentary terms concerning him, and this seemed to render him almost broken- hearted, and to relieve his mind be un- folded his tale of woe to his associates, to one of whom in particular he said yesterday afternoon, “You little know the troubles I have encountered since my marriage. I have found my wife doing things that I never believed she would, and I would as leave die as live.” Shortly after saying this he started for his home in Soutn Second street and upon entering he greeted Mr. Herring, who was seated behind the counter patching a piece of carpet, cordially. Belore going up stairs to commit the terrible deed Mr. Herring said, “Ed, reach in my Overcoat pocket and get me a cigar, and take one yourself.” This Schuaretter aiarand after lighting @ cigar he tripped up stairs hum- ming & German air, that, alas! proved to be THE PUNERAL REQUIEM of not only himself, but of his beautiful and un- suspecting wife. At the time of tie husband's appearance she was in the kitchen, on the first floor, preparing oe in the absence of her mother, Aiter completing this task she calied her father, and attended the store while he ate his evening meal, At the conclusion he relieved her and she went up stairs to joim her husband. What words assed between taem upon her entry into their jittie parlor no huinan tonzue will ever reveal, as | shortiy alterwards one soul was sent into eter- nity and the other gasped away her lile’s blood a victim of man’s jealousy. No scream or groans or slamming of doors or tumult gave to the vut- side world the evidence of the death struggle that ensued between the two, and it was not until near ten o’clock that the ghastly spectacle was wit- nessed by Mr. Herring. le had noticed that neither of the two had been to tea, and their long absence worried him. At last, growing impatient, he mounted the stairs and entered their room, as ‘was his usual custom, without knocking, THE SIGHT THAT MET HIS ZYES STAGGERED HIM, To the leit of the bed, which stands against the southern wall of the room, lay Schusretter prone on the floor, dead, with his face fearfully distorted and his hair and arms covered with numan gore, while by his side were a porter bottle and a razor, both covered with blood. Entering the rear room, which adjoins this chamber of horror, he discov- ered the jorm o! Mrs. Schusretter lying near the door leading to the hail entry, covered with blood and her head almost severed from the trunk. Biood was scattered over the floor, and the walls were besmeured with it as though it had been thrown from a broom. The bedding was also red with gore, and the whole room resembled a ciarnel house. Herring took the dreadful sight in at # glance, and, staggering to a ‘ront window, screamed “Murder |’ and sunk to the floor more dead than alive. Lieutenant Sampson, who was passing along the treet at that hour, hurriedly responded to the sumiuons, accompanied by several citizens and officers. Mr. Herring was carried out, and THE BODIES OF THE ILL-FATED HUSBAND AND WIPE were examined, ira.

This he administered to hitn- self after killing his wife, as the bl finger marks on the doors of @ little closet plainly gave evidence that he had been searching for it. After swallowing it he tirew him- self on the bed, the white sheet and pillews of which to-day mark with the crimson fluid of his wife his every movement. From the bed he tumbled to the floor while in the death throes, where he was found. The news spread with light- ning rapidity, and great crowds rounding the house since last night and throughout to-day. The remains now lie in the same position as when discovered. The grief of the mother of Mrs. Schusretter, when she received the news, was heartrending. She fainted twice, and the eg ott entertain the opinion that, ving p her leebleness, she wil not long aurvive the shock. e Coroner now has the matter in hand and Will hold an inquest to-morrow. SCHUSRETTER WAS NOT A DRINKING MAN, although it is said that he was of a quarrelsome disposition.

Dr. Dennter gave the following testimony:—On the 31st ultimo I was called to see @ child one of the houses in Jackson avenue; the child was on the we floor, ina dark bedroom; I found it was guffering from starvation; it was lying on some Da in the corner of the room, gnawing a crust of bres which a woman had thrown through the window; I gave the child in charge of @ woman and ordered prover nourishment and stimulants; the child diarrhea and symptons of starvation; in my cpinion the present state of the child is Fay to the lack of food, and it would not have lived twenty-four hours longer without better treatment than it was receiving.

Other witnesses were examined, who corrobo- rated the above statements, CUSTOM HOUSE AFFAIRS. Arrangements for Accommodating the Interrupted Trade by the Late Fire. Great commotion existed among the fraternity of Custom House brokers yesterday on account of the temporary confusion created by the fre in the public stores, whicn for a few days has somewhat dered, and do not Know where to have the impor- tations sent for examination. Special Deputy Col- lector John R, Lydecker, however, states that tae damage done by the late fre to the buildings occn- pied as public stores is by no means as great as Was at first anticipated, aud that repairs would at once be made, so as to fit the stores to be used ior government pur) 8 by next Wednesday. The agent of the owner calied yesterday at the Collector's office and intormed this official that Dr. Ayers, the proprietor, bas given orders to spare no expense to put the edifice in proper condition at the earliest possible moment. This gentieman likewise gave Mr. Tomkins, the Deputy Collector ofthe Eighth division, the credit of saving the New Church street buildings, by causing the iron doors to be attached. Mr. F. A. Sawyer, Assistant ecient the ‘Treasury, telegraphed yesterday to » Ly- decker that Mr. Steinmentz, Assistant to the | Supervising architect of the Treasury Depart- Ment, had been instructed to superintend the repairs to the burned buiiding and hasten the com- pletion thereof, Until then, goods now housed in the public stores for examination and fot ment will be turned out as soon as inspected and others in smaller quantiies taken im. Other merchandise will have to be stored in general order warehouses, located in the districts in which the seriving. vessels are docked. But as this ar- Tangement ia onjy temporary, and will not last longer than a week at <he utmost, voy little, ix any embarrassment will be felt by the ithporters, ‘he rumors that the public stores will be removed to any other place but where they are now located are unfounded. There is no intention manifested on the part of the authorities to do any such thing for the present, and what will be dome in this re- epeet is merely a matter of conjecture, There is no lease existing on the buildings, and as several pro- jects are on foot to secure a permanent location for ‘the Appraiser and public stores speculations as to results at this time are superfuous, SS ee MARRIAGES AND DEATHS. | Married.
