LeNtiuy, feb. 2a. At l.xoter te-dny the
attempted execution et Joint Lee, for nturs
dcr, resulted in the most horrlble exhibition
that ever disgrnced tlie gllibel in Knglnnd.
The deemed man, ivns perfectly firm ami
went te Iho gallons undaunted. He seemed
te resign hlinelf completely, hut firmly, te
the oxccuflenor, and as ihe spring tvnsturned
he made nn npiiarent ellbrt te adjust his body
te llie expected diep se that death might be
as quick as possible, and when llie click et
the spring sounded hn dreit a long breath ns
though It wcre his last. Hut the drop stuck
llrm and Lee atvoke as if fiem a dream. He
quickly recovered himself and ivns taken
back te his cell. Alter the machinery wni
oiled, Lee wns brought out again nnd wns
still tery llrm. Once mero he braced hlnrelf
for tlie fall, nnd 11 lien the click of the ma
chinery sounded he ngnln noemed te
drop in physical surrender. The innchlne
ngaiu refused te work-. Tlie victim shud
dered as ir slinking himself out of soine hor her hor
rihle dream, wliile thoexecutlouor peunded
tlie framo-iverk and stamped upon tlie drop.
H ut it remained fl nn. Lee straightened himself
tip and was a second time removed te his cell.
His spirit was new much biekcn, nnd the
officials bcoame very nerveus. Afler mero
hammering nnd oiling of the machinery Lee
was a third Hme marthed forth, noosed and
black capped. A third time tlie machinery
refused te work, but Loe was broken by
the strain ami suspense. He sank down in
a sw oeti and wasearrled away. Ne word cut
docrlbe the palnrulncss of the pcene, for a
kind of overpowering dlsinay-like supersti
tion seemed te ivelgli en the ulior ulier
ifl's officers. The gallows was dcportetl
and 110 ene made further attempt
te fix II. Lee, (Li7ed, stupefied and physi
cally exhausted, lay in ills cell in the most
pitable com! ltleu, it hlle the slieri fl" abandoned
his horrlble task, clesed up the cxocutlen
yard, and rushed te the telegraph ofllce te
ask for instructions from Londen.
It it 111 be reinembercd that Lee, lyhe was
an ex-convict, obtained employment from
Miss Keyes as a valet by means of forgeil
lotters of recommendation. I.00 wished
te marry Miss Keyes wlie was mi
elderly lady of wealth. She rciused te
wcil him, whereupon Lee assaulted iier. Ile
then murdered her and set flre te the liouse
te cover his crime. Tlie (lames wero seen
extinguished hy nolghbersand the murderer
was shortly afterwards captured. Ile was
hiding in tlie vicinity.
