A Remarkable Execution.
The .following report, written on the spot gives
full details of the banging of fames Wilson, at
Hartford, Conneticut, on Friday last. The des
perate attempt of tbe primmer to coinu.it suicide
and the circumstances of his execution make this
case one of the most singular on record. 'lhe re
p. rt says:
David Kentley, alia* James Wilson, ended his
eventful dfe to day at half-past one, after a most
desperate effort iu.de a few hours before t>> cheat
the gallows. He retir dto ie*t at ten o'cloc* last
night with the eye« of bia keepers Deputy Sher»
iffs Finch nd Lord, upon lrw. Tbe burner of
these remained on guard until tv* o’clock, when
he was relieved bv Lord Up to thin time the con
demned man Uad lain quietly upt .1 hio bed, and
was believed to lie a-leep.
TH3 MIDMOST TALE
With Deputy Sheriff Lord came Jailer Fenn.
who entetei V. ilson’s cell to sec if ail was right.
Tbe prisoner wa- then svrake. die rn. : sed his head
and said : G *od morning, Mr. Fenn.’ Feuu le
plied, It is rather a sad day for me ’ Wi son
nswered, ‘Yes. it must be so ' A few general
remarks were passed, and then Wilson asked,
What time « itf’ 'Twoo’clock * ‘Ah ! I’ve four
hourß to sleep * Mr. Fens passed out. Good
bye. Mr. Fean,’ ».*id Wilson quietly. ‘Good bye,
Wilson.’ ‘tiood-bye, Mr Feua,’ he said aguin,
as his eyes followed tbe jailor out of the door.
TUB DISCoVXRT.
A short time after this t k e deputy oa guard
thought he beard an unusual breathiuz inside the
cell. Wilson seemed restlosa, and gave other ev
idence o f pain. The watcher it one r called Mi.
Fenn. Together they entered the cell, and found
W ls n Ijiug oa hU back, his ri ,riit baud da-peri
over his breat the fore-flugar pressing hard
against his heart On examining him tisey found
a small vro ud over the heart. From this hole,
no larg*rr than a shirt button, had ooaed throe or
four drops of blood. Pleasure on this spot seemed
to cause pain, and the oody nhook convulsively.
Dr. George F. Hawlew, the jail physician, wis at
once summoned, and found the pulse very weak,
so low, in fact, that it could bardlv be elt He
could decide upon nothing to relieve Wiis m until
a further examination was made. Later another
physician visited the cell. and it whs decided to
hold a medical consultation at 9 o’clock.
During nil thi- time Wiitou was lying perfectly
quiet ar.d to all appearauoes perfect ly iu>-enhil)!o
He breathed reguhuly aud strong. His eyes and
mouth remained closed,the eyelidseiightly twitch
ing. If a flv lit upon hie face the muscles would
twitch, but this was the only sign of consciousness
be showed from the time hi was discovered tip to
the examination of tho phys dans, at a quarter to
10 o’clock.
HE WOULD DIE IF HE HAD TIME.
Soon after the medical consultation, the physi
cians’ report was submitted to the Sheriff. It was
as follows:
To Sheriff Russell:
The physicians decide not to perforaTany ope
ration It is evident that the uucouseiousness is
only a dodge of Wilson’s; he feigns it. TSe
wound, however, is mortal, and he would die
fiom it if he had time.

RETURNING) TO CONSCIOUSNESS.
Soon after the physicians left him, however.
Wilson showed signs of consciou.-tiess. He opened
his eyes, ami a ter a few minutes motioned with
his hand for water. It was given him hut the
drinking of it seemed to cause great pain. He
then nodded to his keepers, who were now watch
ing him with the intensity of cats, and p isited to
his breast. He measured on his Huger about three
ot four inches, as if to say that the weapon used
was that length. He the ■ pointed under his pil
low, and on looking there his keepers found a Ut
ter addressed to Shetiff Russell. It was as fol
lows :
To Sheriff Russell :
I uever intended to be hanged. For fear that
you umv blame some of my hies ds, I will sav that

ago. I took it from mv ratiou pan aud sharpened
it on the,-tone floor. 1 then wrapped it in a piece
of leather torn from the bible and hid it, where I
have carried it ever since, taking it out at night
only. It. is proper to die in the c.tu.-e of humanity,
but it is exceedingly improper to he hang and in any
cause. Wilson.
■an is A fthanue Rein3
In a few minutes Wilson spoke. Be said.*
‘Man is a strange being.'
After this he made some other remarks, find fi.
nally explained how h** got. the wire and bow he
used it. He said he did not push it all the way in
at fret, but felt around with it for his heart, hut as
he supposed a little too low down. He then de
pr«*ssed the wire oa Hie outside so as to bring the
point higher up; took the Testament in bis hand,
and with the book drove it clear in till the skin
closed over it. He thought he would Is* dead in

iirs driving death away.
He states th u while in the state pri on he had
several mvang of ki'ling himself, hut chose this as
the simplest,.because the instrument could be best
concealed. The pressure on hie chest, a few io<»-
mente after the infliction of the wound, was very
great. and the agony intense; but afterwards the
presnre stopped, and the pain in the heart brgan
This constantly increased, -o much so hat be con M

tanee
On being asked she wanted to see Chaplain
Wooking, be said he did not, hut addr-d that if
he wanted to come he might. Wilson said he used
the weapon at two o'clock this morning just nfiro he
said -‘Good-bye* to Jailer Feun, who. be said, did
act understand what be meat The noise he made
with iiis mouth or throat was caused by the blood
rushed into his lungs. He asked if it wduld not
relieve his pain if the weapon was plucked cut,
but this the .-urgeons did not seem willing to do.
■ LIVING WITH THREE INCHES or sTEKL IN HlB HEART.
’ Wilson remained in bed ail the morning. He
refused to eat anything, but f.-<>m time to time
took a bunk of weak brandy and water. He w.nld
not turn over in bet, but grimed and writlied with
the pain, and wou and grind his teeth. He insisted
that he should say a few words upon the scaffold
At haif-past 1J o chick his pulse had increased to
98.
•Wonderfully strong pulse.’ said he, -fora man
with three inches of steel in his heart.’
Dr. Faiiar remained with h.m, tnd whbDeputy
Finch fr<.q ently and earnestly besought Wib-on
to turn to God for comfort, hut their prayers and
GDlrssties availed naught-:
Ihe good Chaplain ,Vcoding remained by hi*
side, repeatedly asked if he should pray for him.
Wilson said;. - ", •’■. v
‘I finished ray prayers before I plunged the Iron
in my brest, but, you may pray if yon Want to.
Do not misunderstand me. Ido not need your
prayers, but you may pray if you wish.
Ihe reverend aentleman then offered a solem
prayer, committing the dymg mar. to the cars of
his Savior. Every one present knelt devoutly, and
during the prayer Wilson wept audibility.
TUX OCTSin* CROWD-
For blo-ks ar und »he street was filled people of
all clashes aui coupitiotu. They Came from the
countrv. in milk wagons, in stages and
reages* Resj’ec'ebie looking ladies
with V'lniif -hildrea, all prSHsaing foi a sight at the
gallows This letter instrument Sheriff Russell
had directed in the corridor of the jail immediate
ly be foie a large vdew.
WAIX.IX3 TO TWAT3.
At I o’clock the Suer iff and his patty aftiVOd.
They were ushered into .he jail through the P')’ice,
a*.d liy the brainless and gxiiy-capsttisoued militia.
The. dhiu iff s.t once went to Wi Lou’s called and
told bier that the hour hud come.
“Thank you,, 1 was tb-s reply; 4 anything to get
out of this torture ’
Wilson at orce arose, put on bte coat End a
tall Bilk hat, and naid that he was ready. He was
askel if he fcould walk. He said. “Oh! y*is; I’ll
try it, any way.” A pioce-t-lon was then formed.
Sheriff Russeii and Dr. Hawly supported. Wiisou
either side while the Deputy Sheriffs and other
physician* brought up the rear.
Slowly they come around the corner of the
prison, and. for the first time, Wilson aaw the scaf
fold. He looked up coolly, but never flinched uor
moved t muscle. He placed.his feet on the steps,
but his strength was not sufficient for him to jet
p uuuided Tbe Sheriff and one of the deput’es
supported him, and Jowly the three mounted the
platform.
DR TUI SCArFOLS,
Here a chair was oife>od. and Wilson sst down
tnd looked at the crowd. He was an elderly man
of about fifty He save he was hut forty-eight
His hair was very grey, and his face enti'ey free
from beaid. There was nothing at all vicious in
eonnteanance, althoug his and irk eye -.vas roveiog
and unsettled. Ho smiled upon the crowd below
and o-: the galleries above. He was quite yale,
firm as a rock, and entirely seli possessed. As he
took his seat he cast a glanse above at the rope,
the nooite of which the She iff hid. kindly lowered
to within a few inches of his head. Not a muscle
twicbed or aneive shook, but the look be gave it
was unconcerned as though it were a boquet of
flowers.
HUNTING FOR THE DEATH WARRANT.
While the chief actor in the tragedy was so cold
and indifferent the scene shifter was nearly cta-rfy
with excitement. Wheri he came to look for the
death warrant he fumbled in his pockets for iully
a minute, his hands shaking He final
ly got it and step up to Wilson, whd was ifiiil
seated:
‘l__l_l will read the de—de-death wirani,’
finellv jerked out. the Sheriff -
Wilson smiled at the Sheriff’s fright, aud simply
bowed The Sheriff began to read.
‘This is to corum tn 1 you,’ etc., which went off
weell enough until he came to the words, he read:
‘You are th**u to take tne said James Wilsnu, and
between the hours—of—ten —and t-t—t w tvvo, }°i
then and there h—h—h—hang——
.To tliecrowd—Really —g — great—gentlemen noy
must excuse me—l—lI—•
Wilson made a sweeping flvh o.f his dark, lus
trous eve. which took in Sheriff, death warrant and
all. Then with a *mi!e of bitterness, mingled
with contempt, turned bis head away. The Sher
iff biaced himself auew and finish* l his task with
a spa-anodic jerk. Re t’en said:
‘James Wilson, what have' you to say why the
sentence of the law should not be carried out?’
wil-on'a last words.
Wilson smiled, cn lin off- hand manner raid:
‘I don’t suppose it wi'l do me any good to say
anything. That question is but a silly matter of
form. If I thought it would prevent yon from per
forming an illegal tank I would hav3 a good deal
to sav.’
Then the Seriff spoke of UiJ painful duty,
Wilson arose from his chair. AS he did so his
head struck the rope. Had’d net notion it. but
advanced to the railing, and in a clear, firm, gens
tlemanly vice said:
T supposemost.ef you know why I shall not have
much to say. A mnn with three inches of iron in
his hear* can’t be expected to sav much. It w*s
not my intension to appear before you to-day. but
the fates wil'od it otherwise ; not that 1 fear death,
tint such a k ! nd of death—not St for a dog or a
murderer. lam not a murderer. I killed Wil
liam Milliard in self-defence, and T did just right.
And 1 hope will be a warning to all other tyrants
like him.“
He then paused.
•‘Are yea readv,’ said the Sheriff*
‘No. sir; and hr stepped back and seised the rope
advancing to the rsi 1 again with the noose in his
hand. H 1 g coutiqned;
‘•When a man pats this over his head, in the
cause of humanity, it is not a disarmed In that
cause I put it over mine Mr.'Sheriff, you may
lighted it up. if you piease.’
He then bowed to the crowd, and walked Afo-.'.nd
the platform with a etitely air. bidding every oat
good-bye. S*u nhe stepped under the pulley, aud
looked at the Sheriff. Captain Wording asked if
he should offer prayer.
*0 i, yes I don't mind,’ was the reply.
The captain kne-led down, but Wilson evident!/
did not ilea* a word. He looke at the crowd and
up ou the galleries where the reporters were. He
seemed much inter sted iu their note books and,
watched them closely.
The paper finished, pinioning began. Un
der th's ordeal he never flinched. He quietly took
lh<- chcpliu by the hand, and said.
*1 h -pe, i f you have the opportunity, you will
tell the wardens of Wethersflehi prison that they
may profit by the example they had, to uot oblige
any orner •oavifit to murder a warden for human
ity's sake ’
The gentlemen then left the platform, and the
Sheriff advanced with the black ctp. Ashe ad
justed it, Wil.on sai *:
‘Don't delay any longer. I am suffering so ter
rible [that I wont be able U> stand much longer.
THEEXECCrioN.
The Sheriff pulled over the cap, stepped down
the stairs, and as he took his foot < If the last step"
the platforn gave Wav Wilson fell at least seven
feet, and being a very heavy man. his oeek was
instently broken hr the fall. Not a muscle moved
after the dnp. The man died instant iy
The pulse o.' tbs heart beat ve ry rapidly for sev
eral minutes*
In five minutes the heart ceased to beat and in a
moment the pulse stopped. In fourteen minn es
he wa- pronounced df and. Five minn. es afterward
he was take*, down, and in five minutee more the
and jetora had hi ux updqr their feuve. j
