MISS EBERH ART’S EXECUTION AND
THE LESSON IT TEACHES.
A sharp anil terrible lesson waa given to
criminals in Georgia as Susan Eberbart was
swung from the gallows in Webster county
yesterday. In words not to be mistaken, and
in bloody sentences Governor Smith, has laid
down his policy.
The law in Georgia will be rigidly en
forced—money cannot buy; mercy cannot
swerve; persuasion cannot cajole; sophistry
cannot delude; threats cannot frighten the
present Executive of Georgia. Justice—
simple, plain, old-fashioned justice—will be
dealt out to offenders aga inst the law. This
is square and absolute.
We thought, and still think, that there were
circumstances in this peculiar case which
would have justified (if not demanded), the
exercise of at least so much clemency as
would have commuted the sentence to impris
onment for life.
We made a square and open appeal to the
Governor, in Miss Eberhart’s behalf. Gov
ernor Smith carefully and laboriously
searched tho testimony, and sifted the evi
dence. He conscientiously weighed every
fact, and balanced every opposing statement.
He failed to find anything on which even-
handed justice could predicate a pardon.
Hence, smothering back those impulses of
mercy that must have uprisen in his heart, he
signed the death warrant in the interest of
law and order.
While we would tuat the poor girl could
have escaped the extremest penalty of her
crime, we have no complaint to make at Gov
Smith's decision; and, as an organ of the
people, we proclaim throughout the land this
one unalterable truth : That as long as James
Milton Smith occupies the Governor’s chair,
offenders will be brought to the full punish
ment of the law, despite any power on earth.
Persons contemplating crime would do well
to notice
Don't for*»et that Barney Williams will sell forty
barrels of choice potatoes and a lot of oranges, at noon
t>day, and that at nine in the morning he will knock
down a lot of miscellaneous articles, including furni
tore, and a large lot of groceries in the evening. This
is a splendid chance for persons wishing to purchase
cheap.
Preston, Via Ahericcs, May 2, 1873.
In telegraphing you the details of the execution of
Susan Eberhart which took place here to-day, it is ne
cessary to give a short history of her crime. She was
convicted as an accomplice iu the murder of Mrs.
Spann, of Webster county, her ally in guilt being the
husband of the victim. She was Spann’s paramour,
and they determined to murder the wife, who was
one-legged and deformed, in order, as he said,
IO GET THE OLD WOMAN OUT OF TUE WAY.”
Two deliberate attempts were made to kill her, once
by drowning, both of which failed, once through Mias
Eberhart’s failing courage, or returning mercy. The
third attempt was successful and the miserable old
woman perished by strangling, Miss Eberhart hold-
i end of the cord and Spann the other. As
soon aa life was extinct the guilty pair fled together,
they saw a dark black line around tho neck of the
corpse which they were sure would convict them.
They were captured after an easy pursuit, brought
back to jail, convicted and sentenced. Spann was
hung about two weeks ago, and Miss Eberhart was
sentenced for the 2nd of May. Strenuous efforts were
made to procure a pardon from the Governor, by the
best people in the ’county and surrounding country,
but all failed.
All day yesterday and to-day the telegraph wires
have been loaded with dispatchos imploring the Gov
ernor in the most earnest terms
spare the girl’s life, and imploring him
fob god’s sake, not to let the woman die,”
while in all quarters of the city Smith’s character was
vary roughly handled by all classes, and he was de
nounced as thoroughly brutal, and without mercy or
humanity.
o purpose, however, and the sun of the 2nd of
May was the last that ever dawned on Susan Eber
hart. * * *

At this juncture we may state that slic denied, the
day before her death, that she had ever had illicit
connection with Spann, or at least was very positive in
her denial that such was tho case up to the night on
which Mrs. Spann was killed. She rays that only on
occasion did he make improper advances towards
her, and then
SHE PROMPTLY TOLD HIM HE MC*T NOT
talk to her that way. She avers that she had no idea
that Spann loved her, or that he was going to kill liis
wife to obtain her embraces. Once he had laughingly
said that he believed he would kill his wife, and mar
ry some fresh young woman, bnt she didn’t take him
to be at all in earnest. She had never been lustfully
approached by any man, and had no dutmet idea as
to what Spann meant by his equivocal words and ac
tions. She could scarcely read, and knew nitbing of
the world.
SHE LIKED SPANN AS A BENEFACTOR,
and never saw anything in his treatment of his wife
to lesson her confidence or esteem. He treated liis
wife kindly in her presence, and Mrs. Spann was the
most quarrelsome and petnlent of the two. She
thought he behaved very kindly to his wife, and had
known him to leave the house frequently to avoid
quarreling with her when she was in one of her disa
greeable moods. She thinks that Spann waa goaded
into tho fatal act, more by bis wife’s continuous bad
temper, than by love for herself.
ON THE NIGHT OF THE MURDER,
she was lying in ber bed adjoining Spann’s, and heard
him calling,
“sue! bub! come herb quick!’
She then got np and tried to strike a light. Hi

and lusty body had an indescribable pathos in it, as it
quivered and rose and sank, with all the passion and
all the glow chased out of it, all the wickedness slain
in it, and only the weak and womanly flesh left there
begging against fate, trembling against despair.
She read her fate in Mr. Bell’s eyes as he entered,
and it seemed as if the poor heart which had sent one
flood of hepe into her cheecks when she heard their
steps, now called every drop of blood in her body into
its inner citadel as she rose.
Looking up to them, the remarked, “I suppose niy
time has come?”
“Yes,” Mr. Bell replied, “I havo done all I could for
you, and havo failed.”
“Well,” she responded calmly,
“I AM READY TO GO.”
In reply to an inquiry, she sold that she waa “ready
to die—that she had scarcely had any hope since the
jury had accepted as truth what was sworn against her
on the trial.” She said this calmly, quietly, and ap
peared even anxious to start on the fatal trip.
TO THE GALLOWS.
The Sheriff then led her to his buggy in which she
entered without a word. She was driven to the gal
lows, a distance of some 200 yards. The crowd fol
lowed in an orderly manner, and no demonstrations
whatever were made
A PBAYER TO GOD.
Arriving at the scaffold, which was tho same used
in tho execution of Ppann, and around which was
posted a strong guard of seventy-five citizens, Susan
El>erhart. with the assistance of the Sheriff, alighted
from the buggy. Sho then Bcated herself on the
second step of the gallows, and the clergyman,
with much emotion in his tone, offered a prayer for
her soul. With an earnestness which touched every
heart the man of God prayed for salvation, imploring
Divine Mercy for the repentant sinner, who was about
to be ushered into the presence of her Maker in ex
piation of her crime, and appealing for that forgive
ness in Heaven, which had already been vouchsafed
her on earth. The simple, yet earnest language of the
preacher broke the almost painful composure which
had characterized Susan Eberhart from the moment
that Mr. Bell told her that her time had come.
Up to tnis time she had been calm and
expressionless, giving no outward evidence of fear or
concern. But now as the voice of the good minister
fell enpplication upon her ears, all of callousness and
indifference—if her calmness was really such—depart
ed, and for the first time she became visibly affected;
her form swaying with emotion, and the hot, scalding
tears trickling down her cheeks.
▲ LAST GOOD DYE.
The prayer over, Susan Eberhart ro»e to her feet
and looked around ber, as if to take one last glance at
tho world she was about to leave. Tho day bad bright
ened, aud the sun shone upon the scene. Her youth
ful countenance, wan and pale as it had been, fiushel
up for a moment as if with Bhame.
She was dressed plainly but neatly in a close-fitting,
well-worn but clean homespun dress, and her hair, of
which she has a very heavy black suite, was drawn
back tightly from lier broad forehead, and hung down
her back in two broad plaits. There were few eyes
that gazed upon her girlish form ontlin* d in such
cruel prominence against tbs sky that were not sup
pressed with tears.
Then turning to the good minister she shook hands
with him, and next with the prison officials, thanking
them all for the kindness they had shown her.
“Good bye,” she said, for the last time addressing
them. Then once more she looked around npou the
scene, drinking in, as it were, a long aud eternal
view of the earth that seemed so bright aud beauti
ful now that she was about to leave it.
THE LAST WORDS.
She seconded to tho top of the scaffold without
trepidation. When asked what sho had to say, she
replied, in a clear, calm voice: “I am willing to go,
and hope to be in heaven soon. There I hope to
meet you all some day.”
Then turning to the Sheriff, she added:
■Fix the ropo so I will die easy—don’t let me sutler
lODg!”
She seemed to fear that her neck would not be
broken, and that her death would be along one. As
she spoke to the Sheriff there was not a tinge of brav
ado in her voice. Her calm confrontation of death
bordered upon the heroic.
ON THE DRINK.
More affected than the condemned woman was, the
Sheriff approached and pinioned her arms. The rope
was next placed around her neck and the cap adjusted.
As the last named article was drawn over her face a
slight shudder convulsed her Frame. It was, however
but for an instant. The next, it had disappeared, and
ie stood calm, erect and motionless.
A FRIGHTFUL STRUGGLE.
At five minutes to twelve the signal waa given, the
drop fell and the body of Susan Eberhart was dang
ling in the air. Her fail was five feet. The appre
hensions of the unfortunate creature had been real
ized. Her neck waa not broken!
She struggled convulsively, drew up her body and
arms and swuug completely round, making fearful
efforts to free her arms. Her hands opened aud shut
repeatedly.
Every nerve in her body seemed couvnttc J iu ago
ny, and her limbs opened and closed as if in wild and
unavailing efforts to seek tomo foothold on which to
rest her feet There was, however, bo rest for her.
The fatal rope, too remorseless for life, held firm, des
pite the efforts of the convict to burst its strangling
bonds. Each minute of torture scruie.*. an hour to
the crowd.
The sufferings of the poor creature n.ust have been
as terrible to her as they were paiLfui to w itness. A

frightful scene.

out of the way. It was a deliberate, calm and mali
cious plot. For two months she knew that Spann
intended to kill his wifo on the first
propitious chance; and that tho reason
for this murder was that he might have
perfect freedom In the enjoyment of her charms.
Without her fall concurrence the reason for the mur
der would have failed. A part In the villainous pro
gramme had even been assigned her. The fact that
on two occasions her courage failed her, only inten
sifies the malice with which she still persisted in the
plot, and the cunning with which she kept It secret,
through days and weeks and months, until its full
accomplishment. She loved Spann, and played a des
perate game to win him. My policy has been, and
will be, to rigidly enforce the law, and hold the die
pensation of justice to be tho supreme duty of the
Executive. Under this determination I failed to find
a single point on which to predicate a pardon or com
mutation for Miss Eberhart. I am extremely sorry
that I cannot interpose Executive clemency, bnt my
duty will not permit me to do so.
The reporter here bade the Governor good morning,
and left. We deem it proper to add to this report, the
substance of the letter written by Gov. Smith, to Hon.
8ampson Bell upon the subject:
I have examined with great care the various appli
cations made In behalf of Miss Eberhart, hoping that
I might gather therefrom some reason which would
Justify mo in interposing to save her life. Under the
law, her guilt is fixed by the verdict of the iury, aud
the suggestions offered in her favor do not create even
a suspicion of the correctness of the finding.
The evidence submitted upon her trial shows that
the offense was committed by Spann and herself, with
circumstances of almost unparalleled atrocity.
The reasons suggested for mitigating ber punish
ment are, that she had been reared in ignorance; is
not sensible of the weight of her moral obligations,
and is a woman. The evidence shows, beyond all
question, that she was sensible both of the moral and
legal guilt of the crime of murder. If allowed by my
duty to the public to base my official action upon my
feelings as a man, I would not hesitate to interpose
executive clemency to save a woman from the extreme
penalty of the law; but as a magistrate, whose sworn
duty it is to see that the laws are enforced, I cannot
intervene to prevent the execution of the judgment
of the court in this case.
I am, dear sir.
Yours, respectfully,
James M. Smith.

The mining suit of Raygard k Ely vs. the Hermes

a free fight occurred over the matter, wherein there
were three wounded, and one fatally. There was

liis reasons for not Commuting the
Sentence—Ills duty as a Magistrate
prevents him—Susan Kherliart’s guilt.
A reporter of the Herald called at the Capitol yes
terday to Beek an interview with Governor Smith, and
find from him the reasons for his refusal to pardon
Miss Eberhart.
The Governor invited the reporter into his private
office and spoke throughout the interview quite freely.
Reporter—I see a squib in the Sumter Republican
of to-day, Governor, commenting rather harshly on
yor.r final decision in regard to the Eberhart case.
And I should like to get, for publication, the reasons
which led you to a rcjoction of the petition sent up in
her behalf.
Governor Smith—I will give you my reasons with
pleasure. I am not allowed by my oath of office to pay
serious attention to petitions of any kind. I am not
here to weigh sympathy, but to administer justice.
While as a man my feelings may often lead me to listen
to mercy’s pleadings, my duty as a magistrate obliges
me to guide my course by facts. I have very carefully
investigated all tbe testimony in the case, and find not
a single item that points to a commutation of the sen-
tence. Instead cf the girl being a tool of Spann’s, I
l e arn from reliable authority, the following facts:
That Spann was completely under her control, and
a perfect slave to ber passion and caprices. There
WAS DECIDEDLY MORE REASON FOB THE PABDONINO OF
Spann than of Miss Eberhart. I was iuformed that
Spann was scarcely a degree above idiocy—and this by
professional medical men—while Miss Eberhart was a
vigorous, lusty, Intelligent yonng woman. By her
beauty aud her passion, she completely bewildered
him and held him in absolute control. She was tho
willing incentive to the crime; she was the intelligent
and deliberate accomplice in the crijme, and, as such,
must pay her part of the penalty.
Reporter—But, Governor, how do 70U reply to the
petition of the majority of tbe jury that convicted
her ? A majority of ber conviclora assert that they
convioted under a misapprehension. How do you
avoid listening to this ?
Gov. 8.—Simply bccauso when they convicted, thoy
were on oath; when they petitioned, they were not
As officers they convicted; as citizens they would
pardon. As officers they dealt in Justice; as c itizens
they would deal in mercy. As a man, I might sign a
petition for her pardon; as a magistrate, I must en
force the law. There is scarcely a petition sent in, in
which a majority of the convicting Jury does not pe
tition for the pardon of the very man they weio
obliged, when under oath, to convict.
Reporter—It will be the first woman over executed
in Georgia, and I thought that possibly this fact
might have aa indirect influence with you.

RHODE - ISLAND.
Capital vs. Labor. *
Providence, May 2,1873.
Tho threatened strike for ten’ hours was partially
successful. There was some hooting at those who re
mained at work, but no violence was used. The larger
mill owneft have adopted no concerted plan of action.
Tho woolen manufacturers would like a general sus
pension of work. It is probable that the cotton mills
will shut down temporarily if there is any trouble in
getting help to run on the present basis. Tho diffi
culty is not generally regarded as serious by manufac
turers.
The mill owners at Woonsocket have shut their gates
to-day and all is qniet there. At Delaine Mill, in 01-
neyville, everything goes on as usual. The disturb
ance of last evening not being renewed. The mills in

New York, May 2, 1873.
Wall street markets continue very dull. Gold has
ruled lower than yesterday, all sales having been at
to 116V On gold loans, rates have been 5, 7
and 7 for gold per annum, and one thirty-two per day
for carrying. Fore ! gn exchange is ntterly demoral-
zed, name rates for sterling remaining as yester
day, bnt rates for business being 8^ to >4 for
Bixty days, nine to nine and one-eighth for de
mand. Tbe sterling monoy market is very stringent
for call loans, brokers having paid 1 , to 1-16
9 percent, a day. The Clearing House state
ment this morning shows violent changes incident to
preparations yesterday and day before by the city and
various corporations for May interest payments. Iu
addition to this natural disturbance of the market,
speculative manipulations have been resorted to to
rates. Mercantile paper is temporarily neg
lected. There is less gossip about banks, tbe last un
favorable rumors having been silenced by tbe Clear
ing House Committee, who last evening examined
tbe Manufacturers and Merchants. The distrust
which has been created by the panic-mongers has
less foundation now than a year previous to the
Atlantic Bank and the Bull’s Head Bank suspensions.
Bonds are down with gold, but at the decline are
strong. Southern State bonds dull and firm at tbe
Board. Tbe stock market wxs feverish early in the
day, the greatest depression having been at the first
Board, when C. C. k I. C. sold at 34 V Union Pacific

aud is so now. Telegraph has been exceptionally
strong throughout. Other active stocks have been the

In the House of Commons to-night. Lord Geo. Ham
ilton, member for Middlesex, called attention to the
nature of the reference to tho treaty .of 1846, which,
under the treaty of Washington was submitted, to
gether with the Northwestern Boundary question, to
the decision of the German Emperor. He regretted
that the English governmsnt had allowed upon that
part of the Oregon treaty an interpretation fatal to
the jUBt claims of England.
Rosario Strait, long after 1846, was the only known
navigable channel between Oregon and Vancouver’s
island, and hence was undoubtedly tbe channel indi
cated in the treaty; yet the Government, with unhap
py ingenuity, excluded the arbitration from the con
sideration of this particular channel.He found no fault
with Emperor William. Ho thought the Geneva
Arbitrators would have acted more wisely
had they anticipated his method, and confined them
selves to rendering their decision, without giving
reasons therefor. Lord Hamilton maid he would make
no motion, and only desired to obtain from the House
such an expression of opinion as would discourage
the making of treaties hereafter ou the “ give all, get
noting” principle.
