CT HI8 BBOTHEB-IN-LAW—SPEECH OF THE
MURDERER ON THE SCAFFOLD—
HE WOULD DO THE SAME
THING AGAIN.
F:om the San Francisco Morning Call, April 2G.
Of late, hanging has been a matter of no
uncommon occurrence; the task, hither con
sidered so unpleasant, is now quite generally
attended by the sheriffs of surrounding
counties, and is generally criticised. The
latest to suffer this extrema penalty of the
law was John J. Morphy, executed yesterday
afternoon, at Stockton, for the murder ot
Patrick Murray, a crime committed in Octo
ber, 1«68. At the time of the murder, an in-
tense feeling was excited in the vicinity j
against the prisoner, but such a length of
time has elapsed between his first trial and |
the day of execution, that of late he has been i
comparatively forgotten.

were evidently the cause of the murder. Mur

through which the shot had been fired, and
while talking with Murphy, whom they met
there, Murray got up and crawled away. A

The grand jury of Sau Joaquin county re
turned an indictment for murder against the

trial was commenced on the 22nd of February,
1869. The testimony was substantially the

but, “ThankGod, you’ve missed him.” The
case went to the jury on the fitth day of the
trial. On the 27th day of February they re
turned a verdict of “guilty of murder in the
first degree.” Motion for a new trial was
made and denied, and a few days later Judge
Cavis passed the death sentence.
The remarks of Jndge Cavis to the prisoner
previous to sentence at this trial gave a gen
eral idea of the crime.
Counsel for the defendant took an appeal
to the Supreme Court, and a stay of proceed-
ing* were granted until a decision could be
had. On the 27th ot Januarp, 1870, a remit
titur was issued from the Supreme Court, re
versing the judgement of the District Court
and ordering a new triaL
AGAIN ON TRIAL.
The new trial was commenced on the four
teenth of August, 1871, betore Judge Lewis
Ramage—Judge S. A. Booker, the then pre
siding Judge of the Fifth Judicial District
Court, being disqualified by reason of having
been employed as counsel in the former triaL
The same verdict was returned by another
jury on the nineteenth of August. Another
appeal was taken to the Supreme Court, but
this time without success, they, on the tenth
of December, affirming the judgment of the
court below; and on the twentieth of Febru
ary, 1873, Judge A. C. Bradford again passed
sentence of death, fixing tbe day for the
twenty-fifth of ApriL
THE LAST ACT.
At one o'clock everything was in readiness
for the carrying out of the last sentence of the
law. The well tried rope, with the forbidding
noose, had been placed in position, the plat
form rained and bolt drawn into place; the
weights which were to suddenly withdraw it
hung by a mere piece of span yarn; the wit
nesses had placed themselves in the most
favorable position, with a universal wish that
this legal tragedy was well over. Standing
at one side of the scaffold were Drs. C. A.
Haggles, county physician, and E. A. Stock-
ton, who were to make examinations after the
drop should fall.
THE PROCESSION.
At exactly nine minutes after one the prison
doors opentd and the mournful procession
passed out to the scaffold. Sheriff Cunning
ham and Under Sheriff A. B. Bennett led the
way, close!v followed by Father O Connell
and the prisoner, John J. Murphy, and Dep
uties D. O. Hf»rroldson, A. J. Tibbetts, O. G.
Landmaid and J. J. Evans. With a steo that
showed little nervousness, the doomed man
walked directly to the centre of the trap,
glancing around and nodding to such as he
was acquainted with among those present. He
was dressed in a full 3uit of black, and bul
tor the deathly palor that overspread his face,
one would have thought that his coming fate
was a matter of perfect indifference to him.
At ten minutes past one tbe death warrant was
read by Under Sheriff Bennett, in a loud,
clear voice, and daring the reading the eyea
of the prisoner se«med riveted npon him.
BIS LAST WORDS.
At the conclusion Sheriff Cunningham ask
ed him if he had anything to say to him, op
those around him. With the utmost noncha
lance he replied, “I don’t know that I have.
I have done nothing that I feel bad about.
Although 1 have killed, I do not consider that
I have committed a murder. I would do it
again under the same circumstances. I acted
in defense of my sister, m any man would do.
To the officers 1 return my thanks for their
uniform kindness to me during my incarcera
tion. If, during my lifetime, I have injured
any person, I ask to be forgiven, and I treely
forgive those who have injured me. Friends,
I bid you all a last good-by.”
As be concluded his remarks, he stepped
from the trap and shook bands with those up-
phosphorus, sulphur, carbon and silica in
eighteen to twenty minutes, at a saving of
two-thirds of the coal.
These are daring promises, and yet the ex
periments actually performed in the presence
of scientific visitors on this occassion appear
to guarantee their fulfillment. For instance,
a platinum wire was melted in forty seconds,
and a copper wire in less than two. A solid
steal screw four inches long was burned away
in five minutes, and a piece of diamond, the
most difficult of substances to burn, was re
duced to vapor in a few seconds. The Lon
don Telegraph Department has been using one
of the new machines for some time, and has
worked all of its wires with it with entire suc
cess, a good evidence of the merit of the in
vention. The inventor, M. Gramme, will take
his apparatus to the Vienna Exposition, and,
if the hopes cherished by himself and
many others who have examined it are
realized, it will probably stand at the
head of all the new inventions exhibited
on that occasion for general utility. If suc
cessful, it will effectually break up the gas
monopolies with which the inhabitants of
European and American cities are burdened,
and proclaim in characters of light from every
street corner the benefits which science and
its pale-faced students, often laagbed At as
dreamers, are forever conferring upon man
kind in all the walks of life.

Le DTJO.
From the Cincinnati Commercial, May C.
A Southern gentleman of the name of Sam
uel L. Lee, a member of the illustrious Vir
ginia house of that name, is at the present
writing suffering the indignity of incarceration
in one of the city station houses on the base
charge of petit larceny. Mr. Lee is a person
of imposing physique and austere manners, i
with a pleasing confidence in his superiority
to everything mundane and everything hu
man. He has a pocket full of recom
mendations and letters of introduction
from distinguished Southern fighters and
legislators, one of his certificates of character
and ability bearing the signature of his ex-Ex- I
cellency Jefferson Davis. He is equipped be- I
sides with an enormous bundle of railroad J
and steamboat passes, agreeably diversified j
with a hundred or so newspaper notices of his I
lecture on “God and the Ocean,’* which, it !
seems, he has been delivering in tbe Southern |
country with flattering success. It is evident j
from Mr. Lee’s conversation and from the no- |
tices of his lecture that he is a man of con
siderable attainments.
What brought the gentleman hither is not
definitely known. The story is that he had
some difficulty with the people of Lexington,
Kentucky, about a young woman in an edu
cational establishment, of which he had
charge over there, and left that part of the
country to escape personal violence. Be that
as it may, he found his way to Cincinnati a
couple of weeks ago, and has ever since
been hovering about the Cincinnati, In
dianapolis and Lafayette Railroad office
ostensibly for the purpose of secur
ing employment The strange co
incidence presented by the disappear
ance of articles of clothing from the
coat-racks of the office nearly every time
be withdrew therefrom, induced the belief in
some minds that Mr. Lee was clandestinely
abstracting the garments for the purpose of
placing an eccentric and exacting relative,
“his uncle,” who wonld only furnish him the
means of staying his stomach on his offering
up wearing apparel and the like as a daily
sacrifice. The suspicion so formed grew rap
idly, and Mr. Lee was yesterday arrested on
the charge of larceny. His trunk was exam
ined at his boarding-house, and it is said
several missing coats were found in it He

_ energy which seems to communicate new life to
the system, and renovate the feeble, fainting powers
of nature. Its operation upon the tissues of the body
does not consist in affecting the irritability of the liv
ing fibre, but in imparting a sound and healthy stim
ulus to the Vital Organs.
It strengthens substantially and durably tbe living
powers of the animal machine; is entirely innocent
and harmless; may be administered with impunity to
both sexes, and all conditions of life.
There is no disease of any name or nature, whether
of old or young, male or female, but that it is proper
to administer It, and if It be done seasonably and pre-
ssrvingly, it will have a good effect. It is perfectly in
credible to those unacquainted with the Bitters, the
faculty with which a healthy action ia often in the
worst cases restored to the exhausted organs of the
8Y8TKM; with a degree of animation and desire for food
which is perfectly astonishing to all who perceive it.
This Medicine purifies the blood, restores the tonic
power of the fibres and of the stomach and digestive
organs; rouses tbs animal spirits, and re-animates the
broken down constitutions of mankind.
