Execution of Washington Goode
at Boston.
Mom the Boston Traveller, May 29.]
- At about a qUarter to ten o'clock this morning,
Washington Goode suffered the penalty of death by
hanging, in the jail yard, Leverett street.
For the last few days a number of clergymen
have had "access to his cell, and opportunity to con
verse with him—among them the Rev. Messrs.
Snowden,, Taylor and Grimes.
To these persons he was constant in asseverating
his• innocence. Last night, as is usual with the
condemned, an officer was placed in his cell, and
others in the archway landing to it, to prevent at
tempts at suicide.
At about 12 o'clock, the officer in the cell dis
covered that Goode had attempted suicide, by cut-
ting the veins at the elbow, by swallowing a large
quantity elf tobacco and paper. and by stuffing his
blanket into his mouth. Assistance was called and
the flow of blood stopped, though he was left in a
very weak state.
His courage held up until they began to bind
him, when he gave way to lamentations, such as—
"l never thought that I should come to 'this; this
is the last I nay 'of my life." When the water was
handed to trim, he said—" this is the last Cochituate
I shall ever drink." In the afternoon, yesterday,
he remarked—"l am not afraid to die. I have been
in battle where hundreds died. But to die upon a
scaffold!" He also said yesterday that he should
never die upon the scaffold, and was probably med•
itating suicide. His hopes of a reprieve were
strong until within a day'or two of his death, when
he saw from the preparations making that lie must
prepare foC his fate.
At seven o'clock this morning, the clegymen
were again admitted to him lie appeared to suffer
greatly in anticipation of his approaching fate.—
His unclnand aunt came in and took a solemn
farewell of him. At a little before nine,the solemn
services were commenced with prayer, by the Rev.
Mr. Taylor.
The following hymn was then sung by a few
persons gatered around the condemned:—
Soon I shall hear the solemn call,
(Prepar , d or not) to yield my breath;
And Allis poor mortal frame must fall
A helpless prey to cruel death.
Then look, my soul, look forward now,
And anchor safe beyond the flood ;
Bowl to the Sailoues footstool, bow,
And get a life secure in God.
Befoie these fleeting hours are gone,
bid this mortal world adieu;
And 'to the Lord I'll now resign
My life, my breath, and spirit too.
Then welcome, Death, with all its force—
No more fear the gaping grave;
Jesuii my Lord, my last resource,
Will reach his arm my soul to save.
He will not hide his smiling face,
Nor leave me in that trying hour;
I'll trust my soul upon his grace,
And cheerful leave this mortal shore
After this, prayer was offered by Rev. Mr. Oviatt,
when the preparations for execution were com
menced.
He was brought from his cell in a chair, appa
rently very weak from loss of blood:- but in hill
possession of his senses. He called for water, and
drank once or twice, when he was c&nyeyed to the
scaffold by two men, with his hands and legs firmly
tied. The noose was then adjusted about his neck,
during which he emitted one or two audible groans.
The warrant for ikis execution was then read by
Sheriff Eveleth, Wten the cap was placed over his
head, the rope cut, and the drop fell.
The fall probably broke his neck, as, after a few
struggles, and convulsive drawing up of the lower
limbs, all was still.
About one hundred persons were present in the
jail yard, and the windows of the neighboring houses
which overlooked the yard were partly filled with
men and women, boys and girls. A tew persons
clambered upon the neighboring sheds to witness
the sight, but the crowd about the jail was much
smaller than at any previous execution.
We learn that his uncle gives the following ac
count of his: birth and former life. He was born
in Baltimore, and is 28 years of age. When about
15, he came to this city, and went with his uncle
on board the Eastern boats, in the capacity of a
servant. Afterwards, being fond of " high company,
as the uncle expressed ite Goode lett him and went
to sea. From that time the uncle has seen him,
but occasionally, when in port. His mother is sup
posed to be living, but he seemed unwilling to tal k
about her. He states that he was inn many battles
of the Florida war, and served under General
Taylor there.
There was a report that Goode had made a con
fession of his guilt to . Rev. Mr. Taylor. We un
derstand, however, from Mr. Taylor himself; that
no confession was made to him • neither was there
any plain'denial of guilt ; but that Goode 'seemed
to console himself with the belief that the witnesses
against him were so disreputable, that the authori
ties would not dare to hang him on such testimony.
Until the very last, he thought he should escape
hanging._
The attempt at suicide was a most determined
affair. According to the statement of the officers
in attendance, the clergymen left him about nine
o'clock, at his expressed wish. He then desired
all those who Were to watch him to leave him the
cell to himself, they stopped in the entry, with the
door open. He also blew out the- candle, but a
lantern was so placed that the light could strike
all parts of his body but the face. He was unwil
ling to converse with his watchers, and appeared'
to sleep.
At a little before twelve, however, the officer
heard a gurgling noise, and upon approaching, found
that he. had his thumbs and a portion of-the blanket
crammed down his throat. He was perfectly
furious at their approach, and resisted their attempt
to examine him with all his strength. He was
found, however, to have cut both arms in at least a
dozen places, with a small piece of glass which he
in some way,had become possessed of Dr. Smith
was called in, and?his 'Wounds dressed but several
times during the night he attempted to tear off the
bandages, which were, however, constantly replaced.
Soon after,he began vomitting up pieces of to
bacco and *ads of tarred paper, which he had
swallowed. During the intervals of these sick turns,
he is said to have slept soundly for three quarters
of an hour—a phenomenon often exhibited by
criminals on the point of death. When he reached
the gallows, he said—" Lord, receive my soul, - but
when the ,sheriff asked him if he was ready, he
made no reply, being apparently insensible.
But very few colored persons were seen near the
place of execution. In one case, a citizen, opposed
to the execution, closed his place of business and
placed a piece of crape, the door, with a placard,
saying: "No business - io-day—a brother is to be
hung."
The body, after hanging nearly half an hour, was
taken down and life found to be extinct. His body
was claimed by his friends, to whom it was given
up, and will be buried from Southac street.
The last execution in this city was in 1536, when
Russell and Crockett were hung, for setting fire to
a house occupied by about thirty Irish families.—
At 'that time 'the crowd about the jail was tremen
dous, and placards appeared at the corners of the
streets threatening the Governor with vengeance
he allowed the execution to proceed.
New York Cholera Cases.
NEW YORK, June 3
Forty-four new cases of Cholera have, been re
ported by the Board of Health, for the forty-eight
hours ending noon to-day. Eighteen of these cases
proved fatal.
- The ship Powerton, arrived from. Liverpool this
afternoon. The steward and nineteen passengers
died on the voyage with Cholera.
ELOPEMENT EXTRACIEDINAEY.—The Barnstable
Patriot states that there has been a good deal of
excitement at Falmouth during the past week. in
consequence of the elopement in "high life, - of a
m: chant of that place and a Cape Horn widow!
ey left about i t o'clock at night for parts no
;own—the gentleman leaving a wife and family,
and the lady a husband, who is mate of a whale
ship, now round the horn. The parties are said to
be very respectable, and no names are yet given.
DsAn on ALIVE.—A weekly paper published at
Showhegan, Me., called Mann's Physician, express
es a dOubt of the death of Dr. Coolidge, the mur
derer of Matthews, and suggests that a corpse,
which it haS reason to believe was procured for that
purpose, was substituted for Coolidge, who, by the
aid of money, has been smuggled into liberty. We
trust such complication and accumulation of villa
ny will not be proved.
A Goon EXAMPLE.—The Boston Post states that
Mr. Daniel Ayre, of Lowell, is about to pay up .
wards of $6,000 of debts from which he was dis
charged upon his failure some years ago, and that
he designs giving his former creditors an elegant
supper on the occasion. The sum covers principal
and interest in full.

G. B. MARKLEY & SON,
WOULD respectfully announce to the citizens
of Lancaster and the public in general, that
they have purchased the exclusive agency from Dr.
S. M. SHANNON, of Nashville, Tennessee, as the
above certificate will show under his hand and seal.
His unparalelled success in the treatment of a
large majority of those diseases which have ever
been regarded as incurable by the modern and
more fashionable practice, has induced him to send
forth this card to the afflicted portion of mankind.
He has within the past twelve months imparted in
structions to upwards of 2000 citizens of Tennessee,
Virginia, North and South Carolina, Kentucky, and
Indiana, among them physicians of high standing,
and they all bear testimony of their entire satisfac
tion. He has also succeeded in giving permanent
relief to nearly 3000 individuals, ample proof of
Which he can adduce. It is not pretended that the
concentration of the results of medical research
emanates from one author, for be he ever so versed
in medical science, he would come far, far short of
so herculean a task.
Dr. S. has been engaged since 1536, in selecting
and purchasing all the popular and secret remedies
which could be obtained in England, Ireland, Ger
many and the United States, from those who were
eminently successful in curing some one of the
following diseases, viz: rheumatism, dyspepsia,
sick and nervous headache, pains or weakness in
the back and joints, paralysis, neuralgia, spinal
affections, epilepsy, toothache, contractions of the
muscle, weak or inflamed eyes, piles, asthma, can
cer, tetter, frost bite, scrofula, ulcers, mercurial
diseases of longstanding, female diseases, general
debility, &c.
For full instructions, for the cure of all diseases
originating in, or causing the derangement of the
nervous system, so that those who receive instruc
tions can act with equal efficiency as themselves,
their charge is only TEN DOLLARS.
Pernons afflicted with any of the above named
diseases would do well to call on the above named
Agents, and if not effectually relieved; no remune
ration will be required for their services. Their
motto is " NO CURE, NO PAY."
N. B.—ln connection with the above we are pre
pared to meet the wants or the sick and afflicted.
