Cold, drizzling, dark clouds scurrying across an angry sky ns If to move as fast as possible from above the murderer’a head. People have been coming Into the vil lage for twenty-four hours, and at two p. m, to-day the hill on the side of which the gallows had been erocted was crowded with perhaps five thousand souls, and In that waiting multitude was beard no sound of load talking or boisterous laughter, only a subdued awe struck murmer arising. The thusands who waited In bushed expectancy to see the . life which bore the Ineradicable stain of wanton destruc tion of a fellow creature's existence, taken in its turn by an outraged country. “An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.' ‘Whosoever sbeds the blood of man, by man shall his blood be taken.’’ William Blasb, col., who on tbe night of Ootober twenty-four, in cold premedi tation, took the life of Thomas Bone, at two-thlrty o’clock to-day went forth to meet hls.ilaker with the blood marks on bis Immortal soul, A pluckier criminal perhaps never stood unde; the hangmen’s noose. At two o'clook he was taken from the county jail in Ifount Vernon and walked under a guard of eighteen men armed with Winchester rifles to the edge of tbe tuwu, where the gallows had been bullL A rope enclosure bad beea erected around tbe spot, embracing about 100 feet area, and Inside this space were al lowed only the officers of the law, tbe physicians, tbe clergyman and repre sentatives of tbe press.

Instead of being upon the verge of eternity. In a few calm words he addressed the crowd, telling them to'take warning from his fate and let alone all dime nov els, gambling and whisky. He Bald that he had made peace with bla God and was resigned to his punish ment—that he knew It pro* just and he was willing to go as an example. The reporter noticing the absence of any minister asked him It be wished tor one. He said that he did, and Rsvs* Ross and Barry were called from (he crowd. They came upon the soaffold, and tor tew minutes prayed and saogwith tho condemned. When the religious ser vices were concluded there were still re maining to Blssb twelve minutes of life. But this he said be did not want; to con clude the exeeutlou aa soon as possible. The sheriff, G. W. Dunham of Mont- county, then approached and tied the prisoners feet and arms. Not a muscle quivered, and as Arm as a rook Blash stood upon the middle of the trap door, and even assisted by bis movements Sheriff Dunham in pinioning himself. Just before tbe minute for the falling of tba trap, the sheriff drew tha black cap over bis bead, and as tb^ second band of his watoh pointed to the exact time be pulled tbe lever, tbe drop fell and with an eight footfall William Blash left fonver his earthly home. There were few struggles, and In twenty minutes Dr. Morrison pro nounced life extinct, and the mortal re main! of tbe murderer were out down gnd placed In tbe coffin. During the interview with tbe con demned man this morning, he told me that he never Intended to commit a murder though he had for some time been planning a robbery; that he bad filled hie mind with daring tales from the sensational lives of Jesso James and Rnbe Burrows, until he thought it wonld be great to attempt such exploits him self; that he realized the justice of his punishment and was resigned.
