Verxox, November 21.—[Special] —A fitting day for the ghastly ceremony which launched into eternity a sin- stricken souj. Cold, drizzling, dark clouds scurrying across an angry sky as If to move as fast as possible from above the murderer's head. People have been coining 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 erected was crowded with perhaps five thousand souls, and In that waiting multitude was heard no sound of loud talking or boisterous laughter, only a subdued awe struck murmer arising. The thusands who waited in hushed 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 sheds the blood of man, by man shall his blood be taken.” William Diash, col., who on the night of October twenty-four, in cold premedi tation, took the life of Thomas Bone, at two-thirty o’clock to-day wenf forth to meet his.Maker with the blood marks on his immortal soul. A pluckier criminal perhaps never stood under the hangman’s noose. At two o’clock he was taken from the county jail in Mount Vernon and walked under a guard of eighteen men armed with Winchester rifles to the edge of the towu, where the gallows had been built. A rope enclosure had been erected around the spot, embracing about 100 feet area, and inside this spaco were al lowed only the officers of the law, the physicians, the clergyman and repre sentatives of the press. Dlash ascended the scaffold with a firm step, and faced the waiting multi tide, neatly dressed in a new black suit. He looked as it about to attend a picnic iustead of being upon the verge of eternity. In a few calm words he addressed the Mrs. M.T.

He said that he had made peace with bis God and was resigned to his punish- ment—that he knew it was just and he was willing to go as an example. The reporter noticing the absence of any minister asked him if he wished for one. He said that he did, and Itavs. Ross and Barry were called from the crowd. They came upon the scaffold, and for a few minutes prayed and sang with the condemned. When the religions ser vices were concluded there were still re maining to Blash twelve minutes of life. But this he said be did not want; to con clude the execution as soon as possible. The sheriff, G. W. Dunham of Mont- eounty, then approached and tied the prisoners feet and arms. Not a muscle quivered, and os firm as a rock Blash stood upon the middle of the trap door, and even assisted by his movements Sheriff Dunham in pinioning himself. Just before the minute for the falling of the trap, the 1 sheriff drew the black cap over his bead, and as the second band of hfs watch pointed to the exact time he pulled the lever, the drop fell and with an eight footfall William Blash left forever his earthly home. There were few struggles, and In twenty minutes Dr. Morrison pro nounced life extinct, and the mortal re mains of the murderer were out down «nd placed in the coffin. During the Interview with the con demned man this morning, he told me that be never Intended to commit a murder though lie had for some time been planning a robbery; that he had filled bit mind with daring tales from the sensational lives of Jesse James and Knbe Burrows, until he thought it would be great to attempt such exploits him self; that he realized the justice of his punishment and was resigned. The newspapers represented were the Americus Times-Rkcoiider, Atlanta Journal, Macon Telegraph, New York World, Herald, Savannah News and Au gusta Chronicle. Especially for courte sies shown by Sheriff Dunham, Dr. Mor rison and Messrs. Land & Hines, attor neys, is the press greatly indebted; also to T. C.
