Washington, Nov. 10, 1865.
All (ley yesterday Wirz wrote in the little
whitewashed room at the Old Capitol till his
lelt arm was swollen so that he could write
do more. Y T et nowhere in the pages of his
manuscript did lie betray ireniulmisness
either of mind or muscle. He wrote here al
most incessantly during the last twenty four
hours of his life, taking stimulants freely,
hut not to intoxication in the slightest de
gree, and finished a diary up to this morn
ing.
At Early Day.
About two hundred and fifty yellow tickets
ol admission to the Old Capitol yard, regu
larly and elaborately printed like cards of ad
mission to a circus or popular show, wens
issued ; perhaps one filth of them to repre
sentatives of the press or persons who, from
a morbid desire to see death done, repre
sented themselves to be such.
The scaffold was erected in one corner of
the yard, the coldest, it seemed, for the sun
which slioue against the side of the Old Capi
tul prison house did not warm the soldiers
who formed the hollow square around the
gibbet.
The gallows was an old one used before
in civil executions, having become brown
and weather-worn from laying exposed in
the prison yard. The scaffold was in plain
view from the windows on the east side of
the prison, from the housetops in the vicinity
and Ironi the trees in the Capitol Park, but
no portions of it could be seen from the
streets.
Scenes Before I lie Drop.
All along the north side of the yard wall,
upon a broad beat, the sentries paced, over
look'n' the gallows, the prison yard, the al
leys. the adjacent buildings and all the up
i r laches to the prison. Up to this broad pa
ra It; the spectators flocked. Shorthand re
p Tiers closed up to the phalanx of gallows
3 u;irds ns close as possible witlfiu the fall ot
the condemned man’s voice. The photo
grapher located his camera commanding as
good view of tire drop as ever rebel cannon
at Andersonville commanded that vile en
closure. Some two or three hundred curi
osity seekers crowded each other ou the ad
jacent. housetops, and noisy, vituperative
soldiers clambered into the trees of the Capi
tol Park. Just seven women, with a couple
of little girls, bad struggled up to the root of
a brick building overlooking the yard and
gazed—unlike women—unpityingly. The
men in the tree tops howled out jokes about
the “dead line” pendant from the beam
about Wirz, &c., and hurling opprobrious
epithets at those in advance. Several limbs
broke, and men were precipitated from their
perches. Shingles aud tin roofs proved too
fragile, and a number of noisy watchers went
suddenly out of view. But the jeers, cat
calls and oaths from those outside the walls
did not abate. The bronze figure of Liberty
on the capitol dome, with her seemingly
stern face set toward the death place of Wirz,
was for the time a picture of Justice with
the baudage off witnessing her own aveuge
ment.
In the CondemncdCcH.
At fifteen minutes past ten o'clock Captain
Walbridge, the commandant of the prison,
proceeded with a corporal’s guard to the
condemned cell for the purpose of bringing
lorth the prisoner. Wirz hud spent the fore
part of the night in writing, and had
snached three hours ot steep towards dawn.
He awoke eheertul and refreshed, and par
took of a light breakfast about six o’clock.
So perfectly self possessed and resigned bud
lie been that be left nothiug undone. The
few books be hud were done up in neat pack
ages, with the request that they be forwarded
to his children. Those volumes borrowed
front the circulating library or kindly fur
nish by Father Boyle were properly assorted
and lelt for delivery. The journal of his life
was completed up to the last day, aud his
room was put in order for the final vacation.
Key. Fathers Boyle and Wiggett were pre
sent wlteu Captain Walbridge entered and in
firmed him that the time had come lor the
execution of the sentence. Captain Wirz
rose and submitted himself to the folds of the
black robe with the pendant cowl; drank
from a tea cup a heavy dose of whiskey
nervously gnawed a piece from a plug of to
bacco, which he threw back on the seblf; cast
a hurried glance around the apartment, out
tlie wiudow where the sun shone on the
town, turned, aud with a light step, walked
Past the guard at his door Into the hall, ac
companied on either hand by his laitliful
spiritual advisers, who consoled with words
tiud the sigtii of the crucifix. At a turn of the
Mans he caught sight through an opeu
w ot ’be gallows and the expectant
t low'd. Amoiuenttuy start or shrinking, as if
loin a shock, and he passed on, with that
xpressionof countenance mistaken bv many
Ti* us , but which in reality is far from it.

Wiggett, and preceded by Major Rußsell, of
General Augur s staff, was led out frtfm a
low doorway opening on the north side ot
the court and marched direct to the scaffold,
not more than twenty paces distant. Con
versaiion instantly became hushed to low
murroered comments upon the bearing of
the one central and sombre figure that ad
vanced through the line hedged with bayo
nets and mounted without a glance to the
right or left the rough stairway that led to
the platform and the noose. Seated upon a
stool and facing the quarters he hau just
left, the gallows swaying over him, a soldier
standing rigidly at a shoulder arms in
either corner ot the platform, the two reve
rend fathers pouring words of comfort and
consolation iuto his ear,and the officer charged
with the execution pronouncing in clearly
audible tones the findings of the court mar
lial and the sentence, W irz was as conspicu
ous to tlie gaze of all within the enclosure as
gaping vision could desire. The condemned
had been draped with the shapeless robe of
serge which has figured iu all the executions
known to the walls of the Old Capitol prison,
anti which, drawn closely about the chin,
increased the natural pallor of the face and
made the appearance of the man still more
repulsive and indefinable. His whiskers
closely cropped, lips apart and his closing
teeth, black with the use of tobacco, eyes
suukeD, forehead retreating and topped with
disheveled and noddy hair, added to the
wierdness of the look he has worn daily at
his trial, aud that has impressed all who
have ever seen him.
Meantime tlie enumeration of his crimes,
as declared .by the court, went forward.
Father Boyle bunt constantly over bim and
frequently pressed a small crucifix to his
lips, urging perfect trust iu his God and
counselling entire, outspoken candor in these
his last moments. At first Wirz averted his
face, though occasionally replying steadily
that he looked lor perfect peace and happi
uesß above, and knew that the Snpieme
Kuler recoguizcd his innocence of the crimes
for which he suffered. Once he turned liis
eyes towards the Capitol, where, between
himself aud the majestic dome that rose be
yond, he could see the tree tops swarming
with men eager to see him pendant from the
rope, and could almost distinguish the tenor
of the inhuman anathemas they gleefully
shouted as i hey remarked the perfec lon of
the final arrangements for his death. As if
this sight touched him more deeply than the
rest, his head, was speedily turned and his
undivided attention given alternately to his
spiritual adviser aud the reading of the
charges against him. Neither atiitude, ex
pression nor utterance indicated other Iban
the most perfect self-command and calmness
ou the part ot Wirz. Directly upon seating
liiinscll he had crossed his tegs, and with
his arms listlessly restiug upon his kuees he
sat slightly leaning forward, apparently
the most unmoved auditor and specta
tor of the thrilling aud painful scene.
To the words of bis priest lie frequently
nodded assent aud replied earnestly ; hut as
the tenor of certain specifications struck
upon his ear he would start, aud with a hit
ter sneer contorting his features, shake his
head for a few seconds and renew his protes
tations of innocence to Fathers Boyle and
Wiggett; aud thus throughout the eighteen
minutes of life that intervened to Wirtz from
the lime he leit the cell to the moment he
plunged into the depths of the unknown
realm he sat upon the threshold of the por
tal that would usher him iuto another
world without a single prayerful
utterance of contrition and devoid of
but one absorbing desire—to reiter
ate his claim to innocence. Involuntari
ly the spec tutor realized Unit this wus not
tlie man wbo has given to the Andersonville
stockade the historic horrors which are a
sleeping aud waking nightmare under tlie
roots of thousands ol Northern homes and
have stricken the hearts aud whitened locks
of mothers aud fathers everywhere.
At tweuty-five minutes past ten the find
ings of the court had been read aud the sen
tence was given. The prisouer kissed the
crucifix presented to Lis lips, and afterwards
nodded as if to signify his resigned accept
ance of his fate as the penalty tell upon his
ear. Three minutes later aud the last of the
documentary authority for hanging bim was
pronounced, and needed but the endorsement
of his death to complete the record pertain
ing to the crimes for which be suffers. His
baud was then shakkeu by Major Russell,
Captain Walbridge, commandant of the
prisoD, and by Fattiers Boyle aud Wiggett.
Each received a composed expression of
thanks for his kindness from the criminal.
His arms were drawn back and pinioned
closely behind him, and the noose was
thrown over his head aud drawn loosely up,
with the kuot resting beneath the lobe of the
left ear. An officer was about to produce
and adjust the black cap, when those
nearest him saw a slight tremor of the
lower jaw, which, as it increased, gave the
whole face a ghastly grin; but the black cap
speedily curtained the face from further view ;
aud lelt the cowled and sombre sinqie stuud- j
ing rigid for the fall. Ail but the officer who
was Charged with spiiugiug the trup retired j
from the scaffoU, aud as the latter passed
swiftly to either side of the drop, withdraw- j
ing the bolts that were used to sustain it iu :
addition to the spring, Wirz, who seemed to !
have expected tlie fall immediately, was seen •
to sway slightly, but even then there ap- j
peared to he a determined rtcuveiy of equili
brium, aucl be became motionless. Slaudiug
thus eight or ten seconds, when the officer j
below raised his cap as a signal, aud there j
was a crash of the lalliug trap, a sudden jeik
and tension of the rope, aud a dark and
lengthened form swung convulsively beneath j
the scaffold. For a moment there was a
hush upon the multitude within aud the 1
people upon adjacent house tops as all eyes |
noted the spasmodic twitching of the lower j
parts of the criminal’s body, aud some strong
nerved man iu the crowd made an audible !
calculation of the number of tremors that
pass through the frame before life becomes j
totally extiu'et. Then came something like i
a cheer from beyond the prison walls, where i
all available objects commanding a view ofi
the scene within were crowded with citizens
and soldieis, ami gradually there was lilted !
from tlie nearer spectators the awe occasion- |
ed from sceiug a life pass violeutly from most
infamous manhood to the daikest valley of
the shadow of death, and there was a hum j
of comment accompanied with a general j
crowding nearer the scaffold At the
same tune a photographer adjusted
his instrument upon the roof of an
adjoiuiug abed, with, its lens covering
the scatfold aud the wretch that quivers
limn its beam. Fifteen minutes more pass
ed without material event. The people who
had beeu on the roofs of houses and in the
branches of trees, together with Consider
able numbers from the prison, retiied trom
the contemplation ot the scene, leaving only
a few oltieeis and a large group of the mem

Mr. tkliada Ufa Ua fas called upon bv
SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 18. 1865.
several persons last night, as was also Father
Boyle, who communicated information pur
porting to come from a member of the Cabi
net* to the effect that if Wirz would acknowl
edge that Jeff Davis was connected with the
atrocities at Andersonville his sentence
should be commuted. Although Mr. Scliade
did uot place full confidence iu the reports
he considered it to be his duty to relate it
to the prisioncr at his last conference with
him. Captain Wirz, in reply said, “Mi.
Scliade, you know I have always told you
that I did not know- anything about Jeff.
Dav's. He had no connection with me as to
what was done at Andersouville, and it I
knew he had I would uot become a traitor
egainst him or any one else to save my life.”
The following letter was written by Wirz
before mounting the gallows :
Old Cafitoi. Piuson, Nov. 10, 1865.
Mr. Sciiadk—Dear Sir: It is no doubt the
last time I address myself to you. What I
have said to you otten and often, I repeal;
accept my thanks, my sincere, heartfelt
thanks, for all you have done ior me. May
God reward you—l cannot. Still I have
something more to ask of you, and I am con
fident that you will uot refuse to receive my
dying request. Please help my pour family
-—my dear wife and children. War, cruel
wai has swept everything from me, and to
day my wife, my children are beggars. My
life is demanded as an atonement. I am wil
ling to give it; and I hope that after awhile
I will be judged differently from what I am
now. If any one ought to come to the re
lief of my family it is tlie people of the South,
for whose sake I have sacrificed all. I know
you will excuse me tor troubling you again.
Farewell, dear sir. May God bless you.
Your thankful H. Wmz.
Among the spectators present at the exe
cution was a man from Vermont, who al
leged that he had travelled post haste from
his home in that State for the express pur
pose of witnessing the death struggle of
Wirz. He attracted considerable notice
while the former liuug suspended by offering
an impromptu and not very reverent petitiou
to Heaven that “To this end may all the
Southern leaders come."
Wirz’* Attempt to Commit Suicide.
A startliug fact iu connection with Wirz’
imprisonment, which it lias not been deemed
expedient to publish heretofore, may now be
given to the public. This is im> less than an
attempt to poison Wirz, which, but for the
quickness of the official present, would have
been successful. When Mrs. Wirz came on
here it was the desire of the government to
give her every facility for enjoying inter
views with her husband, with only such pre
cautions as were indispensably necessary.—
The Secretary of War, therefore, requested
General L. C. Baker to arrange for such in
terviews, aud to be present at them. The
first interview of Mrs. Wirz with her itusband
was in his ceil, just after the commencement
of his trial. Then- meetng was uot at all ot the
diameter that would be expected between
man aDd wife under such circumstances.—
There was no appearance of tenderness, no
embrace or kiss, no tears, ami no apparent
emotion of any kind ou the part ot either.
The lady s first words were. How are, you,
Wirz ?”
“Weil,” he answered in a gloomy voice,
“I am getting along pretty well.”
She looked at him a moment aud her next
words were—
“ When did you have on a clean shilt last?
1 I Dever saw you look so dirty tu my lite.”
Wirz replied that lie had had oue on with
in the last week, and begau to complaiu of
his misfortunes. Tlieir conversation through
out was cald and ttippaut. She took leave
of hi miu the same manner, and General
j Baker made arrangements that she should
see him twice a week. She represented that
she had not means to pay her way while in
this city, aud as Wirz had nothing to give
her, Geuerai Baker, pitying her condition,
supplied her with titty dollars from his pri
; vate funds. The secoDd interview was as
j cold and as devoid of affection or emotion as
I the first. The conduct ol Mrs. Wirz towards
| her husband at tiie first interview had
! aroused General Baker's suspicions of her
| good faith in visiting him, and he watched
j them very closely. He noticed that Mrs.
j Wirz kept moving some small object in her
| hand nervously. They sat one at each end
; of the small pine table in the cell, and Geu
j oral Baker sat at the side. He noticed that
j they hitched close to the table so as to get
I tlieir kuees uearer together under the table,
I aud Mrs. Wirz's movements seemed to iudi
cate that she wished to pass something under
j the table to the piisouer. Witz wa3 talking
j principally about the testimony then being
i t ikeu on bis trial, denying the truth of the
| charges against him. General Baker watched
the two so closely that nothing could be
passed between them without his notice. —
He was very strongly impressed
with the idea that something wrong
j was iutended. The third interview
was on Sunday, October 29. The two
exchanged commonplace salutations as be
fore, amt indulged in commonplace couversa
tiou. Geuerai Baker saw Mrs. Witzs draw
off' her glove and saw agaiu tlie nervous mo
tion of her hand as though nioviug some
thing in it which she desired to conceal. As
she rose to go, steped up to Wirz and for
the first lime, made a movement to kiss him.
Geuerai Baker stood at tlieir sides, where
Be could see the meeting ot the lips. It wag
not a quick, passiouate kiss ; but Geuerai
Baker noticed that they occupied longer than
necessary, and tlmt tlie movements of their
lips were rather peculiar for a kiss. As their
lips parted Geuerai Baker was convinced that
she hail passed something from her mouth
into his and that he was about to swallow it.
He sprang towards Wirz and caught him by
the throat, partly choking him for the in
stant. General Baker Commanded him to
open his mouth, aDd as lie did so he spit out
a little ball which he lmd partly crushed and
which General Biker picked up. It was
somewhat smaller than au acorn, aud was
ascertained to be strycnine, enclosed in oil
silk aud Coated with liquorice. It is now in
General Baker’s possession. Iu getting up
Mrs. Wirz bad probably dexteiously convey
ed it. to his mouth. In au instant more Wirz
would have swallowed it, aud as soon as the
outside coating had dissolved, it wr uld have
caused his immediate death. Mrs. Wirz was
uot again allowed to visit the cell. She left
the city nearly two weeks ago, not waiting
either to hear her husband's sentence or to
see him again before his death.
