Oa the afternoon of the Sth of September, 1871, two
eu met on the corner of Broad and Marietta streets.
There hid been some bad blood between them, owing
t tome litigation over sashes in the Justices Court.
One of the men was L B. O'Neal, the murderer;
the other was James Little, hie victim.
THK CRIME.
The two met on ihe street and had some words on
the subject of their differences. An altercation arose
between them. There was a struggle. A knife, sharp
of edge and formidable, gleamed in O’Neal’s hand.
The next instant it was plunged in Little’s abdomen,
and a terrible gash followed; a stream of blood
flowed upon the sidewalk; a man fell; a crowd
gathered.
The deed was done; another murder had been com
mitted in Atlanta. This is the story of the killing
given in brief.
James Little was carried home, there to die in great
agony; O’Neal was conducted to jail, there to await
his trial.
THK TRIAL AND CONVICTION.
An impartial jury was empanelled and able counsel
defended the accused. An endeavor was made io
show that the act was perpetrated in self defense, but
the evidence for the prosecution satitfied the jury that
there waa malice, and that the killing was premedi
tated. O’Neal bore an unfavorable reputation. He
said to be a desperate man, who had once before
stabbed aud nearly killed another man in the same
way. On the other hand Little bore the character of
being a peaceable, quiet man. So after weighing well
the evidence on both sides, the jury brought In a
verdict of murder in the first drgree, and O’Neal was
sentenced to death.
NO HOPK.
An appeal,was taken to the Supreme Court, and that
tribunal sArmed the judgment of the jury. How the
grief-stricken wife of the convict tried to obtain a
commutation of the sentence aud failed, the reader is
already aware. We need not recapitulate.
“ There is no hope, O’Neal; you must die!”
With a vcica broken from emotion, the sad news was
imparted to the convict.
A shudder, a wild, despairing cry of agony, and a
passionate flood of tears followed the announcement.
CLINGING TO LIFE.
O’Neal bad clung to life with the tenacity of a
mother’s love for her babe. He could see no future
beyond the grave. To him death was a hideous phan
tom ; life a paradise. For many weary months Rsv.
Mr. Patillo had been visiting him, endeavoring to
teach him the story of the Cross, and to show him
that bejond the river there was hope and light- Bat
O'Neal waa, for all practical purposes, deaf to the les
son. He listened respectfully; now aud then he made
efforts to seem interested; but the man's mind bad
BUT ONE THOUGHT.
It was life. He was but thirty-two years of age, and
the world was too sweet for him to leave it. He would
not believe that Gov. Smith would refuae to pardon
him, or to commute hia eentence. Had not another
O’Neal been snatched from the gallows? And
thus when the good minister told him of the thief up-
the cross ; of how he was transported to Heaven be
cause he repented ; of bow there was peace and happi
nesa in tbe hereafter, O’Neal had but one response and
it waa life. The darkest and most dismal dungeon
was preferable to death—an eternity of physical suffer
ing was welcome ; but not the grave.
A PRATES FOR A RESPITE.
We have never known s condemned men cling so
fiercely to life. Even after hie counsel's letter was
rend to him, be would not abandon hope. Amid his
tears and lamentations he imploied Mr. Patillo to onco
more call upon the Governor in h s behalf. This time
it was for a respite. All he wanted now was a few more
days ou earth—a few days to prepare himself for his
mysterious journey to the Great Unknown. The min
ister complied with his request, although feeling that
be was on a hopeless mission. Governor Smith de
clined to interfere ; and even after this refusal was
made known to him, O’Neal would not reconcile him
self to bis isle.
HIS LAST NIGHT.
It was late at night when he threw himself on kis
pallet and fell asleep. His slumber waa restless and
short. Menial anxiety bad told upon the man. He
was swollen with dropsy, and disease added to bis
mental condition had dazed his mind. Befors day
break he was awake and pacing his narrow cell, be
ing his fate, and declaring that be was a victim
to persecution.
Breakfast was brought to him, but ha refused to eat.
His first call waa for the Herald. Poor creature! he
probably thought this paper would contain some joy
ous news for him.
•‘Ha* the Hf.rald come yet?” he aeked. “let me
see it.”
“You keep hanging on to that 0—4 d—n Herald,”
exclaimed Malone from another cell, “and you will
h>ng to a d—d rope socu.”
O'Neal took the paper and read it through. Every
word concerning his case was devoured. Tbe more
be read the more despairing he became, and when he
bed railed to discover the sentence which averted his
fate, he threw the paper aside and gave way to a tor
rent of grief.
_ O’Neal advanoed with outstretched
arms to weleoHse her. frith a cry of mingled agony
aad affecUn, she fan into his embrace, and for ihe
last time mve one, the arms of the husband encircled
the wife.
a sed, a touching spectacle. From tbe recess
of the cell came the passionate voice of grief. The
ooavict, hie wife and her sisters mingled their tears
John Wise, with quivering lip and moist
stood leaning agalut the door, contemplating the
TO god.
The first transport of sorrow over. O’Neal held a last
conversation with his wife. Woman-like, all Mrs.
O'Neal’s thoughts were for him. She begged him to
banish from his mind all thoughts of her, and to turn
to Gcd for mercy and salvation. Her sisters also
horted him to penitence and prayer.
ONCE MORE TO LITE.
Becoming calmer and more composed. O'Neal talked
about his case. Once more and for the last time, he
looked to life. He arked his wife if she did not think
that it she was to viait Governor Smith that day he
would grant a respite.
Bev. Mr. Patillo interposed, assuring him that such
an application would be uaelesa and begging him again
to abandon all hopes of life on earth.
O’Neal then said :
•* What kind of a man is Governor Smith ? Did he
not commute Tom O’Neal’s eentence although he de
liberately blew out a man’s brains with a pistol? Why
does he let me die, then?”
The good minister, together with Mr*. O’Neal and
Miss Houghton again besought him to reconcils him
self to his God.
HIS MOTHER’S RING.
O'Neal, with a groan and a shudder, dismissed the
last, lingering hope from his mind. He spoke with
comparative calmness to his wife; said that he
believed he would go to Heaven, and begged her to
conduct herself through life that when she died her
spirit would join him in the better aud happier land*
Taking a ring from bis fiDger he placed it on her’*. It
given him by his mother, and he desired his wife
to take it find keep it. He asked that his remains
might be sent to Conyers’ and buried beside hi*
mother, of whom ho spoke with much sffectiou aud
•motion.
HE CONTEMPLATED SUICIDE. .
Referring to his approaching fate, he said that he
could have cheated the gallows, for he had poison in
bis possession, and that he had contemplated suicide.
On one side of him had been the devil urging him to
take his own life; on the other side, God had been
commanding him not to do so. God being strongest,
had triumphed, and he would go to the gallows.
PARTINO OF HUSBAND AND WIFE.
Thus the minutes sped in comparatively tranquil
converse. Only now and then was the quiet broken
by a wail of grief. But the hardest and the bitterest mo
ment was fast approaching. It came at length at half
past eleven o’clock. The little group in the cell
had been temporarily increased by the arrival of Rev.
Mr. Dickey, of the Methodist Church, and Rev. Mr.
Jones, of tho Presbyterian. A whisper, and tbe part
ing moment had come. One loud, hoarse shriek of
agony told how completely unmanned O’Neal was.
Again the corridor of the jail resounded with the cries
of the anguished man and women.
One last, lingering embrace. O’Neal clasped tbe
half fainting woman to his breast and held her there,
as if in that brief interval had welled up to his heart
fill the love he had ever borne her. When she was ta
ken from his arms be grasped her hands and clung to
her, shrieking with agony. It waa a bitter parting,
and all the spectators were moved to tears. Support
ed by Wise, Mrs. O'Neal was conducted from the cell.
Her listers came after her—nevermore again to look
upon him in this life. She passed on, her sonl filled
with ineffable tenderness for him who was so soon to
expiate his crime upon the gallows. A thrill of pity
passed through all who aaw her as she waa half car
ried down the atreet to her hniuble home, rendered
now more desolate than ever.
ALONE.
At a quarter before 12 o’clock Mr. Patillo retired and
O’Neal was left alone in his cell to attire himself for
his going to the gallows. Alone! How many thoughts
flatbed across his heated brain, who can tell? How
many vain regrets and bitter self upbraidlogs; how
many mental declarations thst if he could eecape,never
moro would he place himself in such a position—what
agony, what remorse, tbe judgment day alone
veal.
There was not much to do aud he waa quickly
dreaed. Now it waa that he seemed really to turn to
God for help. He knelt beside tbe cot, and resting his
head upon his hands, prayed in silence. Again and
again did Wise step to tbe door of the cell and look in,
and each time be returned it was with the report that
he was praying. Oh God, grant thst he was and that
his prayer was heard!
THE LAST PRAYER.
Kev. Mr. patillo returned to me cell at about
quarter before 1 o’clock. Tbe reverend gentleman
waa extremely anxious concerning the spiritual condi
tion of O’Neal. He had worked earnestly and faith
fully to instill into his mind all the beautiful and sav
ing tenets of Christianity; bnt the t 'rrible clinging to
an earthly life and the intense honor of death mani-
feated by O'Neal, had made him fearful that the soul
of .the convict would paas into the presence of its
Maker unrepentant and unprepared. He, therefore,
went back to O’Neal to strive again to prepare him for
his last journey. Mr. Patillo renewed his exhorta
tions with redoubled earnestness, and implored the
convict to make his peace with God. Kneeling beside
him, he prayed to the Siviour to fill his heart with
penitence, and to receive him in heaven. The fervor
an I pathos of the minister had tbe desired effect at
length, and O’Neal joined in the prayer with sincerity
and earnestness.
“HIS TIME IS COMING.”
It was half past one o’.lock when Whit Anderson
opened tbe door leading to the basemeut, walked
through the office and entered the private apartments
of the jail. Whit was pale and nervous.
Presently he returned with a coil of rope in one
hand and a package containing a shroud in tbe other.
As he reappeared a shudder passed through tbe

THE MINISTERS WITH HIM.
At about a quarter before ten o’clock, Reverends
Mr. Leftwich and Mr. Patillo arrived and entered hie
cell. They knelt betide him and offered up prayers
for his aoul. They implored* him to abandon all
thoughU of life on this earth, and look only towards
the life of the future. O’Neal seemed touched. True,
he still reverted to what he regarded aa hia hard
ship#. He would speak of his persecutors, and insist
that justice had not been done him; and again and
again he would epeak aa if there still remained a
lingering hope of commuUtion of hia sentence. Still,
ras lets of that cl to Ring to life which had
characterized him on the day before,
appeared to be awakening to a realizing sense of the
gravity of his situation. He joined in the prayers, and
asked God to forgive him for his sins. No sooner was

HIS WIFE.
‘His time id coming” said some one.
A SHUDDER.
There was a general reference to watches. Every
face grew pole and anxious, and there was probably
not one man present who would not have stayed the
execution had he possessed the power. It was not
that any thought O’Neal deserving of mercy ; but it
was a human life about to be taken, and even while all
knew the punlshment.all shrunk from the contempla
tion of Its infliction.
RECONCILED TO OOD.
From the cell came voices Hinging. It was a sweet,
plaintive hymn. O’Neal began with his spiritual sd-
viser.but he soon broke down and the remaining lines
were sung alone by Mr. Patlilo. Not a sound was
board save that of the miniatcr’s voice, and the music
roee and swelled through the open spaces of the corri
dors, into tbe office and returned into the open air.
The hymn over, there was a brief interval of alienee,
broken st length by a last prayer. O’Neal eat down near
the door of his cell and read the Scriptures with the
clergyman for some time. Let us hope that in this
suspense moment all of sin and of crime passed out of
him and left bis spirit cleansed and regenerated.
THE VIKITOBH.
Tbe hour for carrying oat the mandate of the law
had arrived. 8beriff Ptrkeraon, with a serious and
I countenance, entered. A few whispered
words, and the police and vial tors, to the number of
about forty, filed down the steps, through the base
ment and to the yard, at tbe end of which tbe gallows
was srected. As they walked along the yard, some
looked up to tbe iron-barred windows of the cells.
Through one window was seen a small looking-glaas,
held by a hand, every finger ot which was perfectly
formed, the nails long and clean. It was Kelly, the
condemned murderer, trying to catch a glimpse of
tha outside world.
LEAVING HU CELL.
Precisely-at 2 o’clock the iron bolt* of the cell doors
were driven back, and O’Neal waa taken out. Sup
ported by Rev. Mr. Patillo and Deputy Sheriff Green,
and followed by Sheriff Perkerson and others, he was
conducted to the yard, and thonce to the gallows.
His face, swollen by dropsy, was ashy pale, but bis
stop was comparatively firm, and he did not exhibit
iy evidence of trepidation. He was attired in a pair
of light pantaloons, with vest to match, but wore no
In this disconnected way he went on for a few
minutes longer. He spoke slowly and deliberately,
pausing between his sentences as if to weigh well his
words. The whole harden of his argument was thst
he was not guilty of murder.
A MISTAKE CORRECTED.
Resuming his seat, as he whispered a few words to
Mr. Patillo, and then he said, still seated, that he
wished to correct a mistake of his which had appeared
in the Herald. Mr. Grady had been to see him the
previous night, and he (O’Neal) had said that when
the prisoners escaped he had goae to the door. This
•rong. He should have said that he could have
gone to the door of the jail if he had desired it.
O’Neal seemed desirous of raying something more
about the jail delivery and the making of the key, but
Mi. Patillo advised him to dismiss the subject, and
address his thoughts to God.
THE CROWD WITHIN AND WITHOUT.
Around the Jail several hundreds of persons had
gathered. They had clattered sround tbe fence, peep
ing through the slender openings; but as soon as the
convict had left his sell a cordon of police was
formed, which drove them back to a respectable dis
tance from tbe wooden wall. Many then
ascended to tho brow of the hill; others climbed ad
jacent trees and roofs of houses, and thus got a
glimpse of the execution; but beyond this, the dread
sentence of the law was carried out privately as or*
dered by Judge Hopkins. In the yard, the thirty or
forty spectators looked on nervous and rad.
ON THE BRINE.
The rands of life were fast running out. Sheriff
Perkerson, pale and with visible emotion, proceeded
to execute bis order. He conducted O'Neal to the
front of the gallows, beneath the rope. His arms and
feet were pinioned. While this was doing, the convict
asked Perkerson to cut the ropes from off his arms,
legs and neck, as soon as possible after he was dead,
which promise the humane Sheriff faithfully kept.
long white shroud was next placed around
O’Neal's form, and then came the last sad work.
AN UNINTENTIONAL WITTICISM.
The noose was slipped over his neck, and aided by
Deputy Sheriff Green, Sheriff Perkerson drew the knot
close to the neck.
“Is it uncomfortable V” asked the Sheriff.
“No,” waa the reply, “not tow; but it will be
comfortable in a few seconds.”
This was said reverently and sadly, withe ut any
idea of the ghastly witticism of the words.
ONE MOMENT OF TERROR.
Up to this time O’Neal's conduct had been brave.
He had evidently nerved himself for the occasion
When, however, the rope encircled his neck, his limbs
trembled and his face quivered with agony for a brief
moment. Still, the tremor did not last a second
passed away as quickly ss it came, and left him calm
aud motionless. Indeed, the man seemed scarcely
conscious of his surroundings. His eyes were dull
and glazed, and it looked as if bis mind was wandering.
A LAST DECLARATION.
Just os Perkerson was about to draw the cap ovei
his face, O’Neal requested a moment’s time to say a
w more words. Looking at the crowd, he said:
These ore my lost words. I did not mean to kil
Little. Iam not guilty of murder. I hope God has
fergiven me, and that he will receive me in Heaven.”
A few more words to the same effect, and be ceased.
Then turning to Sheriff Perkerson, he announced that
he was ready.
“OH, GOD, HAVE MERCY ON ME!”
While standing waiting for the rope to be placed
around his neck, he had kept his eyes closed, and now
again he closed them. The white cap was then drawn
over his face, concealing his features.
It was a trying moment for all. Every breath was
stayed with horrible expectation. Many faces were
turned away, and deep motion waa perceptible in all.
From behind the white cap came the word*, uttered
in loud, beseeching tones:
“Oh, God, have mercy upon me!
“Oh, Lord, rave my soul!
“Oh, God, have pity upon me !
“Oh, Lord, ”
HANGED.
There was a quick emotion of Sheriff Perkerson’*
hand, then Whit AndersoD, seated on the steps and
holding the handle of the trap, sprung It.
“Oh. Lord
A sudden crash, and the trap fell. A dull thud, and
the body of I. B. O’Neal was dangling from the beam.
There was scarcely a struggle. One convulsive move
ment of the bands, a slight tremor of the limbs, and
it was over. The neck was broken by the fall and
hence death came rapidly and painlessly.
PERKERSON OVERCOME.
As he fell, the spectators turned their heads aside,
sickened. Perkerson was completely overcome. He
leaned against the steps of the scaffold, and wept
freely. Natnrallv os tender-hearted as a child, he had
only performed the duty because he was compelled Io
perform it. More than one man present sobbed. It
was a terrible thing to witness the legal killing of a
fellow being.
DIED IN TWELVE MINUTES.
It was exactly twenty-aix minutes beiore J o’clock
when the drop fell. Eight minutes later Drs. John
son and Logan examined the body. A slight move
ment of the chest wao all that outwardly indicated
life. The doctors could not find any pulse, but the
heart still beat feebly. Two minutes later there
was the merest flutter of the heart, and two min
utes later all was still. In twelve minutes
after tire drop fell the last vital spark bad fled, aud in
fifteen minutes he was lormally pronounced dead and
cut down. The execution was, in every tense ot the
word, admirably conducted, and 8heriff Perkerson and
his Deputies deserve praise for the manner in which
they performed their melancholy duty. O’Neal could
not have experienced tbe slightest pain.
SENT TO CONYERS.
The body, after being cat down, wa* prepared lor
interment. It wm placed iu a coffin and tent to Cony
yesterday eveoiug, for lutermsut beside the grave of
the convict's mother.
GONE—W UITHKB?
It was the belirf of Dr. Patillo that O’Neal, at the
last, was truly penitent and prayerful. May God
grant that he was. He certainly died appealing to Him
for mercy and salvation, and let us pray that the ap
peal waa hearkened to.
