,■ The man most prominent in the New
York Oustom-house fronds, was a cer
tain Mr. Leet. He went to New York
with a letter from President Grant,
asking the Collector to appoint him to
a'lucrative position. That position Lett
himself named—he desired and de
manded what was called the General
Order Business. The Collector hesitated;
he did not like Leet’s appearance, and
asked for time to think over the
mailer. Leet immediately started' hack
and in two days return
ed to New York with another letter
' from Grant, in which the President
gavea perem ptor/ order to appoint Leet
to the.positlon he desired. 'Three 01 the
President household appeared before
the Collector with Leet, viz:—brother
in-law Dent, and Generals Porter and
Lindsay. They too made known to the
• Collector, Mr. Grinned, the President’s
wishes, and demanded that they be
complied with without delay. The Col
lector said he would have to obey the
President, but yet he did so under
protest. Leet was appointed to the
position he desired, and at once frau
dulent transactions on a magnificent
scale commenced. In less than a year
Leet, who was penniless when ho was
appointed to his office, owned nearly a
block of brown-stone houses in one ol
the principal streets of New 'York, anti
-.his . government bonds he counted by
tens of thousands. So infamous : was
his dishonesty, that a. committee of
leading merchants of New York was
appointed to wait upon the President'
and inform him of the facts. The
President heard, the complaints of the
merchants, but refused to interfere, and
Leet was continued in offlee. It now
turns out that brother-in-law Pent,
Potter and Lindsay were Leet’s part
ners in his frauds upon the go vernment
and the merchants, and it is fair to infer
that the President himself was also
interested. His refusal to order the
r-.movai of Leet. after he (Grant) bad
been made acquainted with tbemanner
this bold, bad man was conducting his
office, would convict the President of
complicity befote a court of justice.
Prom the testimony of Mr. B. 8.
Mudget, before the committee, we copy
as follows:
B. 8. Mndget was recalled and swore
that he knew Mr. Leet. Witness spoke
to Leet about the interference of Leet
in the general order business, when
Leet said, '‘l’vo got a man who can pat
his hand on Boutwell’s shoulder.”—
Leet’s evidence d< nying this was read,
and the witness swipe to exact words.
Witness hemd O. B. Matlleun and Jaa.
B. Taylor say that Mr. Grinnell could
do nothing in the general order busi
ness, as he had been forced to give it to
Leet, Porter, Peut and Lindsay, who
afterwards sublet the business.
Mr. Bixby also informed the witness
that he had paid Porter tee the privi
lege, and olfored to show him tin
- checks. Witnest is certain (hat, from
all he had heard and seen. Porter was
engaged in these jobs. He would' nut
believe Porter under oath if he denied
his connection with the general order
b.usiness. Witness was appointed dep
uty appraiser, but on hearing that the
President had been informed by Secre
tary Boulwell that he (witness) was an
enemy of the administration, life re
signed, expressing his regi et that the
President should countenance the acts
of a military adventurer in New York.
Thera never was, perhaps; in this or
any other country, revelations of cor
ruption equal to those that have taken
place iu the New York Custom-house
And Grant knew all about them, if he
was uoi a partner in them I And he
ajeka a re-election !.
THE CIJMIO.II lIOOME FRAUDS,
From the testimony before the Sen
ate Committee, investigating the New
York Custom House frauds, we copy as
follows: ■
“George Wood, clerk of a steamship:
company, testified to being paid small
gratuities fur retaining the goodsof 1m
porters, on the dock for u-dny or two.
Benjamin Junes, importer, testified
to losing goods between the vessel and
his store.
John McKay, assistant weigher, tes
tilled to se.eral instances where gangs
of men were-sent to primarj ejections
and for political work, receiving pay .as
If at work for the government; knew
Mr. Van Colt, who cannot read or write,
holding a position in Custom House
at onetime nine members of Van
Colt’s family held office;, know that
William Martin holds a position in
custom house because he voted at a
convention as he was told to. .
He (McKay) was discharged in No
vember for attendinga reform meeting.
F. H. Schneider, manufacturer, testi
fied that he saw a number of articles.
Including a box of-jeweiry, twelve leet
long by twelve feet wide, pass out of
the steamship City of London on
Thanksgiving day, without paying du
ty, He was told by A, A. Lowe that
he feeds inspectors.
The New York tribune —Horace
Greeley editor—thus speaks of the
Custom-house investigation. Beyond
question the corruption in that political
lazar house is, aa Greeley says, “ more
disgraceful than was at first represent
ed.” Says the tribune:
“The evidence in the Custom-house
— fully estab
lished all the charges which have been
made against the managers who- run
the Custom-home as a political ma
chine. The details of I the Corrigan
case—referred to in the testimony of
Mr. Bied the other day-show that bu
siness to have been more disgraceful
than was at first represented. Corrigan,
a noisy and disagreeable person, was
kept in place by the Collector’s inform
ing the Assistant Appraiser that the
President was much interested in New
York politics am) particularly desired
Corrigan to be retained. '1 he evidence
that three men who did not “ vote
right” in their own party were remov
ed forthwith by the Secretary of the
•< Treasury, will surprise people who
knew why these men were removed,
hut did not know how it was done.—
In fact, the whole tendency of the tes
timony was conclusive upon the points
sought to be established—personal pol
itics regu ating appointments and im
positions on importers by sub-officials."
No Respect fob Grant.— a special
to the Enquirer from Dayton, Ohio,
says that the City Council, by a vote of
18 to 7, rejected the whole expenses of
PrealdentGraat’s reception, amounting
to $1164.60, and returned the bill to the
■Citizens' Committee, The Council is
Republican in politics.
Brought suit for Damages.—a
telegram from Springfield, Ohio, ■ says
that Mrs. Olive Stevens brought suit
against the Imgorda Hotel and saloon
yesterday for selling liquor to her nus
tyod; She slalma *lO,OOO damages,
eust PATE CPI
In our paper of two weeks since we
stated that Grant was a defaulter to the
government in the sum of $B,OOO. We
had our informatiou from a source that
could be relied upon. He has owed this
sum for more than twenty years—ever
since the Mexican war—and held been
requested to settle it a dozen times, but
never paid the least attention to the
request. Several of our Republican
readers complained to us for making this
damaging accusation against the Presi
dent. “It cannot be true,” they said,
and one went even so far as to accuse us
of intentional misrepresentation and
slander.
But now there can be no longer a
doubt about this matter: Dost week
President Grant paid off this defalcation
(5,000) by sending his cheek to the Audi
tor of the Treasury Department for the
full amount less the interest! Huob is
tbo fact. Now, Messrs. Republicans, what
iibinh you of your President ? Had he
not been a candidate fpr re-election, the
government never would have received
one cent of this money. The country
owes Senator Davis of 'Ey., a debt of
gratitude. He exposed the defalcation,
and having done so, the papers opened
on the great smoker, and compelled him
to disgorge. M*-. Davis, therefore, ) oat
saved $5,000 to Unole Sam, and Grant is
just that much poorer. Mr. Davis’ resolu
tion In the Senate, brought the President
to bis senses. “ I have proposed this
resolution,’’ said Mr. Davis, “ upon my
own responsibility, and whatever may
be the scandal of it I am able to bear it.
I want the-King of the political forest,
as well as the lesser beasts to be investi
gated. I want the committee to investi
gate the lion in his den, and for one, I
am disposed to lead tbo march to beard
that lion in his den-’’
After Grant bad sent his check to the
Auditor for $5,000, Mr. Davis notified the
Senate of the fact, and concluded his
remarks thus; ,
The President of the United State
published as a defaulter to the amount of
four or five thousand dollars for upwards
of twenty years It I presented my reso
lution. The newspapers opened upon
him, and at last, driven by the denun
ciations of the papers or some other
cause, he was forced to come forward
and make good the amount of bis defal
cation.
The executive office baa heretofore
been considered the fountain of honor,
but what do we see now 7 Let men ol
honor hide their beads in shame.
Governmental Corruption,
Senator Cameron tells his Wends
that, In bis opinion, the developments
In the New York Custom-house inves
tigation are of such a character that it
will not do to ignore them any longer.
Grant himself is evidently-of the same
opinion.— Elmira Gazette.
General Cameron is frightened
about the stealings that is being done
hy his party friends at New York, the
amount stolen must be huge, indeed )
No ordinary pile would shock the ner
vous system of the chairman of the
committee on Foreign Relations ! No
few thousands or hundreds of thousands
would suffice to frighten the Senator
cart loads, wagon toads, boat and car
loads of plunder would be required to
attract his attention merely, and much
more—mountains high—to frighten
him!
The fact is the Federal government is
in the hands.if plunderers and thieving
is every where the rule. The curious
parts of it is that the people likb U—(a
majority do) for they continue to vote
to keep these very plunderers In. pow
er—confer noon them continued power
to steal. So we go!
Grant and the Hew Tort (!oitom>boaie
Frauds,
The<Sto, Republican, says,of the in
vestigation into the frauds of the New
York Custom-house:
Enough evidence and more than
enough has already been taken in the
course of the Custom-house Investiga
tion in this city to prove that one or
two things must be true. Either—
I. President Grant has from the first
understood the great frauds and robber
ies committed by the Custom-house
Bing, and its affiliations upon the com
merce of New York, and has shared in
the fruits of those robberies. Or else— "
11. Be has not understood anything
about them, but has-been deluded and
imposed upon by his staff officers, cro
nies, and camp followers, who alone
have profited and been enriched by the
large sums of money, of which our
merchants have thus been plundered.
If the first hypothesis be true, Presi
dent Grant is a scoundrel.
If the second hypothesis be true,
President Grant is a fool.
Is there any third conclusion which
can pooslbly be drawn from the facts
deveolped by the Senate Committee of
investigation and retrenchment? If
there is any such third explanation,
will somebody mention it and state the
reasons by which it is supported t
The friends and advocates of General
Grant, without exception, adopt the
second hypothesis. They do not put it
aa plainly as we have done, but they
all agree in one way or another in ar
guing that Piesident Grant is a fool.
Which horn of the dilemma will
Grant’s friends take—rascal or fool ?
Look to Youe Delegates !— I The
way to success is to commence with
-proper candidates, who of course must
possess the public confidence and un
doubted fltuess. The way to obtain
such candidates is to elect your very
beat-meofordelegatesrTltoßellefdate
Watchman, in discussing this subject
uses this sensible language ;
“What we want, then) most of all, la
a convention composed of wise, able
and good men—men who will not al
low themselves to be influenced by sec
tional or partisan considerations—hut
who will be governed by the puresi
motives and the best interests of the
whole party. Men of honesty and truth,
who will realize their duty and their
.responsibility for the faithful perform
ance of that duty. With suco men in
convention, we could nut have a bud
candidate, be lie from the West, the
East, the North or the Mouth. Aed such
men as these may be sent, to the eon
vention, if the people will but do the i
duty. Let them select the purest minds
and the best intelligences among them,
and our next State convention will be
a oody of which we can well be proud,
and our candidate a man whom, we
shall all delight to honor.

Forney, of the Press la again In trou
ble. Fred Douglass, the presumptuous
Boston negro, baa again been “ out
raged,” and on this Forney writes a
leader for hla paper, in which be
demands social equality ..between the
races. It seems that Douglass was in
St. Louis a few days since, and, without
being noticed, registered his name on
the book of the Planter’s House, the
principal hotel of the city. When
dinner was announced, lie deliberately
walked Into the dining room, and was
about to take his seat at a table
occupied by ladies and gentlemen,
when be was informed by the proprie
tor of the house that he could not' seat
himself at that table, Douglass deman
ded tho reason. The landlord replied
that ho, { Douginas) “ ought to know.”
Douglass was hot satisfied with the
landlord’s answer, and again asked to
be informed why he could not eat at
the table with white people. The land
lord becoming impatient with Doug
lass’ persistent Impudence, told him
plainly that negroes could not ann
should not eat at the same table with
his white guests. Being now satisfied
that he would be ejected from the
dining room ifhedid not go voluntarily,
he picked up his hat and left the bouse
in a huff, “ to look for a dionner else
where,” as Forney has it. Such is the
last “outrage” committed upon Doug
lass over which' Forney sheds crocodile
tears and writes a long article in
defence of “ equality.”
The impudence of certain negroes is
beyond endurance, but they are not as
much to blame asjito the white dema
gogues who encourage them In their
presumption. Forney should be asham
edof himself, for we know the fact that
he would not allow his wife and daugh
ters to associate with negroes on terms
of equality, notwithstanding bis bypo
cci tical professions.
GRANT AND HANCOCK,
Petty Spite ot tin President.
It is stated that President Grant abol
ished the Military Division of the Bonth
since the death of General Bollock,
merely for the purpose of gratifying
his petty spiteagalnst General Hancock,
who would otherwise have been pro
moted to the command of that Divi
sion. This statement comes from no
doubtfnl authority. Even Republican
papers have commented upon this ex
hibition of malignity bn the part of the
man who now occupies the highest
place in our national government. The
Philadelphia Evening telegraph (Bn
publican) says:
“It is evident that the President has
neither forgiven or forgotten the affront
put upoq him some time ago by Major-
General Hancock. At the time of the
death of General Thomas, nearly two
years ago. General Hancock was anx
ious to secure the command of the Mil
itary Division of the Pacific thereby
made vacant, bailing to secure this
concession to his rank, he was desirous
of being transferred from bis command
of the Department of Unkotah to that
of the Department of Missouri; but to
this appeal Qeu. Sherman made the
following response:
Headquarters United .States Army ,
Washington, April 14,1870.—General
W. 8. Hancock, commanding Depart-,
mentof Dabotah,Bt. Paul, liin'neasota.
General: I have laid your despatch of
the 13th, from Ht, Louis, before the
President, who authorizes me to say
that your wishes and claims for the sue
cession to the command of the Military
Division of the Pacific, made vacant o.v
General Thomas’ death, were fairly
considered, and also your preference for
the Department of the Missouri, in case
of a change in its commander, were al
so known to him ; but he has ordered
otherwise. The President authorizes
me to say to you that if belongs to his
offlee to select the commanding gener
als of divisions and departments, and
that the relations you chose to assume
toward.him officially and privately ab
solve him from regarding your person
al preferences.
The orders announcing these changes
will be made' pubiicin a very fewdays,
and they will not touch tne Depart
ment of Dakotah or the Military Divi
sion of the Missouri.
I am, with respect, yours truly,
■W. T. Sherman, General.
The' 111-feeling on the part of the
President which cropped out in- this
letter has again been given a marked
exhibition. General Halleck, at the
time of his death, was in command
of the Military Division of the South,
one of the four principal army com
mands into which the chantry has been
for -some time past divided. Major-
General Meade holds command of the
Military Division of the Atlantic, Ma
jor-General Schofield of the Military
Division of the Pacific, and Lieutenant-
General Sheridan of the Military Divi
sion of the Missouri. If the vacancy
caused by the death of Genera) Hal
leck were to be filled, it would be nec
essary to promote Major-General Han
cock from the subordinate position he
now holds, as commander of a mere
department under General Sheridan,
to the command of the Division of the
South. If there were another major
general in the service and unassigned,
he would doubtless be placed In the'
command held by Gen. Halleck, but
Hancock is the only major-general in
the army who is not already in com
mand of a Division, and if he is not
transferred to the vacancy in question,
it must be filled by a mere brigadier
general or abolished Aa the shortest
ariu surest way of disposing of the
difficulty, the President has ordered the
Military Division of the South to be
discontinued,, the commanders of the
limits of the Division being ordered to
report directly to the headquarters of
the army. These department common-*
ders are Brigadier-General Terry,
commanding the Department of the
South, and Col. W. H. Emory, com
manding the Department of the Gulf.
Therefore, while a brigadier and a mete
colonel are holding Independent com
mands, large in extent and important
In location. General Hancock, who
stands second on the list of major-gener
als, and whose commission as such is
older even than G«n. Schofield’s, is
obliged to put up with a subordinate
position on the frontier.”
Is there a patriotic Pennsylvanian,
of either political party, who does not
fell a thrill of indignation at this shab
by treatment of the hero of the Key-,
stone Slate ? Is there any honorable
Republican in tbe country who does
not feel somewhat ashamed of this ac
tion of our Republican President ? By
such actions Grant not only detracts
from his own personal popularity, but
adds immensely to that of Gtn. Han
cock, the dauntless commander of tbe
“Iron Second” corps of the Union
army, whose name is synonymous with
all that characterises the heroic and
accomplished soldier and the patriotic
and law-abiding citizen.
Despatches from New Orleans re
port that both factions remain entirely
quiet, making no demonstrations of
any kind, awaiting (he arrival of the
Committee of Congress.
ME POLAND OF AIIERICA.
The Richmond Inquirer draws the
following short picture of the condition
of affairs In the South that should in
duce reflection. If some American
citizens may now bo treated in that
manner with impunity, may not such
ultimately be the fate of all t The fate
of down trodden Poland scarcely affords
a parallel of atrocious oppression. The
Inquirer says:
If there is any parallel to the state of
things in the government of the South,
we shall have to go outside of the
Christian world to find it. The North
ern press teems with the atrocities of
the Ku-Klux in South Carolina, and
the citizens of that State (as in North
Carolina) were arraigned by scores, and
prosecuted before Radical Judges, by
New England attorneys, and convicted
by Juries- containing 10 negroes and 2
white scalawags, and sent to pine in
Northern prisms. The State • was
urned over to the infamous Scott, a
carpet-bag adventurer, and to a negro
legislature. It was taxed and plunder
ed officially and unofficially until the
people were goaded to madness. Then
they sent, down the rFeileial judiciary
arul Federal soldiers. The spectre e has
oeen exhibited of the white citizens
of that once proud community placed
n trial by their late slaves (supported
by the authority of the United Wales),
and punished as the malignant passions
of race or a hostile section might
prompt. Such utter misery is not par
alleled in the oppressions of any of the
conquered races of Europe—hardly* of
the world; for the shame and humilia
tion to which the people of South Caro
lina have been subjected have, perhaps,
wounded more deeply than even the
loss of power and property.
Ana now we nave the the shameful
exhibition which is witnessed in Louis*
iana. This State also is first turned
over to the negroes. A stranger is
made its Governor, and a negro the
Lieutenant-Governor. Laws were pass
ed which invested the Governor with
autocratic power. He could, without
any revision ot his acts, appoint all
judges, justices, ol the peace; Jurors,
sheriffs, officers of militia, registers of
-election—and the whole police force of
the city of New Orleans. The people
wore taxed to such an extent that it is
affirmed that the taxes for the coming
year will amount to eight per cent, in
New Orleans.
A combination of many elements,
black and white, comprising the prop
Tty-holders of the State and (he more
respectable republicans,. was~formed
gainst him. A majority of the lower
house of the legislature was secured.—
He resorted to bribery and. Intimitis
lion to get rid of the Speaker. The
military, State and federal, and the
armed police, are called into requisition.
By a stratagem Warmoth'gets posses
sion of the State house, and elects a
new Speaker. There seems to be con
fusion worse confounded. There is a
war of wretched factions whioh looks
more like pandemonium than a'civil
ized state. The Custom house “ring"
is about as bad as the gubernatorial
•Ting." That is the “reconstruction”
in .Louisiana.
One Governor has been impeached
and driven from North Carolina. The
Governor ot South Carolina is involved
in the most gigantic frauds. The Gov
ernor of Georgia has fled the State,
after plundering the people, and par
doning all the convicts in the peniten
tiary. The Governor of -Texas has
usurped the most extravagant powers,
and proclaimed martial law in some of
the counties.- The late Governor of
Aakanses is resting tinder the giavest
charges of corruption and malpractice
in office. The Governor of Alabama
for a time held over after his successor
was elected, and defied-the authorities
of the State. Jn Texas the taxation is
some six millions per annum. In
.Vl .ssissippi the county taxation is two
millions.
This is a plain statement of the
government of these Miuthern pro
vinces. When the people call for
redress, they are stigmatized as Rebles.
and turned over to the tender mercies
of Federal judges and bayonets, and
negro juries, under the Ku Klux law.
There is a great ouiciy against Tweed
and poor Fisk; but not a moment’s
attention is bestowed to correct th»
stupendous eyi Is which exist from the
Rio Grande to i he mouth oi the Ashley
and Cooper rivers.
Another Radio At, Shelved !
Grant has been compelled to go back
on one of his carpet-bag friends. Ex-
Senator Warner, the Ohio imbecile and
pestiferous adventurer, who succeeded
in being elected to the United States
Senate from Alabama, while occupying
a seat in the Senate of Ohio, Is about to
be deservedly shelved. ■ The President'
had nominated him as Collector of
Customs for the port of Mobile, and'
Warner, as well as the President, ex
pected bis speedy confirmation as an
act of courtesy. But the Radical Sena
tors were afraid to show their hand in
so palpable a fraud upon the people of
Alabama, and the ; resident has been
compelled to send a message withdraw
ing his nomination, So Warner will
betake himself to his buckeye home,
and bewail In lusty cuslngs his brief
and despicable political career.
When General Halleck died, the
command of the Division of the South
would have devolved on General Han-'
cock, as the senior Mojor-General. But
Grant, in order to keep Hancock out of
it, ordered the Division to be abolished
ami the Department Commanders,
Terry and Emory, to report directly at
Washington. Such meanness on the
part of the President shows the little
ness of bis character, and will only
raise Hancock higher in the estimation
of the people. Grant is afraid that
Hancock will succeed him in thePres
ideney. Hence his hatred
ousy.
To keep Gen. Hancock In Dacota,
and prevent him from succeeding, (as
he rightly should) to the Military De
partment of. the South, Just made
vacant, by General Halleck’s death,
Grant has actually assumed command
of that department himself, and ordered
Generals Terry and Emory to report
“to these headquarters.” Why don’t
he give tne department to Leet, with a
letter of recommendation to some of the
little Governors down there? Is the
South completely phlebotomized?
Horace Ghbely, in the Iribune
still keeps up the fire on Grant’s New
York thieves. On Tuesday he said s
“The moat valuable perquisite in the
gift of the Government is given to a
friend of the President j he makes a
handsome annual income by procuring
it; remonstrances of importers, protests
of the Collector, and the dissatisfaction
of the Secretary of the Treasury, are
ail unavailing to break up this mon
opoly and take away this “plum.”—
libet holds on to it in spite of all the
efforts to disposess him of it. Need
any more be said ? The case is clearly
made out, and the veil is withdnnn
from one of the most shameful pieces
of extortion, mism .nagement and
plunder ever set up in a commercial
community. *.*»***»»*

progress enough to eh-no that the rotten•

“It is charged that the Doniphan

Returning to his call be took up bis
Bible and commenced praying His
hand shook slightly, and looking up he
said ;
‘lt makes me tremble a little,’ adding
shortly after, ‘But I would rather die as
I do tb n go back to my old life with
that woman.’
Mr. Siegfried left the cell shortly after
midnight.
The morning was cold ; a fierce wind
swept down the hill. Around the jail
was a dense crmvd of murhid beings
gazing wistfully at the dull heavy walls.
A force of sixty policemen were on
band. A rope was stretched across
Wilsey street, at which you were re
quired to show your tickets.-
The.scene inside the jail was asad one.
There were three <T tour hundred peo
ple assembled, and, looodng over their
beads, yeas the dread gallows, with the
fatal noose dangling from the beam.
THE MURDERER’S LAST NIGHT.
Bolts slep’ but little last n/ght, not
more than three hours altogether. About
half past five o’clock begot up and dress*
ed himself. Mr. Flaveli was with him
Ull night and left a little after six o'clock
thisi morning. Mr. Siegfried arrived at
half-past seven, while he was at break
fast and was with him to the end.
Bolts still maintained bis equanimity,
and speculation was rife as to how he
would maintain it when the last moment
arrived,
NEARING DEATH'S DOOR.
At a quarter past eleven o’clock Sheriff
Peokwell entered the condemned cell
and notified the unfortunate man of the
near approach of the end. He received
the news with composure, and slmtilv
requested a few additional minutes for
bis final preparation.
At twenty minutes past eleven o'clock
all, except the medical wen and report
ers, were requested to retire outside the
ropes. Just us this order was given, we
noticed Oilte Halstead, son of the mur
dered ‘Pet’ Halstead, among the throng.
At twenty five minutes past eleven
the procession started from the cell. The
prisoner had the block cap on and the
noose around bis neck, bis arms ■ were
pinioned with a piece of rough rope, and
his leas were tied together in the same
manner. Arriving
UNDER THE FATAL BEAM,
the noose was attached to the rope pend
ing from it. The Sheriff then said In a
loud voice—‘The hour forexeouting the
sentence of the law'has arrived.’ Deputy
Sheriff Davis then read the death sen
tence.
The Rev, Mr, Siegfried thereupon
raised his hand and said that in the name
of. George Bolts he wished to return
thanks to the warden of the jail, the
chaplain, Rev. Mr. Weed, and all others
connected with the institution.,
Then Rev. Mr. Weed then took bold
of the prisoner’s hand, and whispered to
him words of consolation, Botts was
dressed in ablue coat, black and white
striped pants, and white shirt.
The sheriff next stepped behind the_
-fatal soreem If was a moment of iuten
sest excitement. Mr. Weed still held
the trembling band of Botts when a
sharp Click was heatd, at exactly H:S2,
followed by a thud simultaneously with
the Jerking
INTO THR AIR
of the prisoner. The immense weight
acted powerfully, and the shook was aw
ful. A thrill ran through theornwil, nml
from the end of the hallway came a muf
fled scream. The fall was about two leet,
and there, at the end of the rope, dangled
the form of George Bolts.
The shock bad burst the bandage round
the ankles, and Ibe legs were extended.
The bands iwiiched convulsively, anti
there were several upbeavalsof timeliest,
Tl.ese gradually subsided, and at last the
suspended form hung there
LIMP AND LIFELESS,
In thirty minutes the body was out
down and given to hie brother, and tbu«
the curtain fell on the last act in the
tragedy of the murder of “Pet" Hoisted.
