MINA.
[ On Thursday sc’nnight Mina sent for Mr.,
J> s, the Deputy Attorney General of Bucks!
q ... c jimnunicated to him, among oth .
i, liters, a statement which was substantially as-
I.lows:— „ T , I
% While Mina was on lus way from i.o.ston to j
thulu idphia, and when he was within a few
miles of the latter, a female passenger on board j
I:same steam boat in which he then was tra-;!
yelling, ac - uste i him, and r* 11< i some pieiimina
rv conversation informed him that her name was,
■ iliss Wilson, and that she intended staying at j
j|iie house of a friend in Pine-street, where she;
i;.. . !>.. .1 !■) take* up tfis I*< Sul« BCG also. Be-
Iny a stranger lie complied witn her in\ Ration,|j
,mid the acquain ancc thus formed soon ripenedij
jiito intimacy. At this time Mni;i ha ! with him j
K very large amount of valuable jewelry, which 1 :
l e had brought to tins country to be disposed of.
lut of which he had not yet made any sale. ||
] le soon discovered that various parts of this col
lection Were abstracted, and upon his complain-;
|n r and threatening, lie was thrown into pns-<n,j|
fcnd by the arts of the female and her confodc-jj
tates, who had conspired together for that pur-,
jios .*, com icted «>1 a larceny w inch he ue\ oi com -.
In t ed. For this, as all know, he was senten-j
c d to eighteen months imprisonmeut, a large!
B .rtioii of which time he was actually confined. |J
B\'h«-u pardoned by the Governor, he went to j
. fhi hoi is. in Pm ■•-street, and there learned that j
ti.e pr».t- nded Miss V\ usou was in reality Mis.
(.'iiajunun, towards whose residence he iinmedi
litely bout his tootsteps. He arrived at Anda- |
Hu.aa about twilight,saw Mrs, ( hapman, whom!
j . • ;■ - .ui ncd, and from the visible agi
t it!on of her manner he perceived iliac she had
■pi. ■ for rotten him. A tok< uof silence, mid the |
Hromptness with which she interfered in his be
-1 . u u.-n her ire-band refused him lodgings, in-'
ti. i d him 10 refrain from making any exposure
«<f her conduct, until he could ascertain what I
■van* lier ultimate intendous in regard to him. j
In the course of the evening they had an in
terview in which she coulessod having w ronged
1:1111, sought his forgiveness, and engaged, by
flic utmost care aiui attention lor the 1 ituro, to
snake s ane atonement for the past. She told
Sum she knew her reputation was in his hands,
fluid begged him by considerations of tenderness
■ vher innocent children whose prospects would
lie blia!i ’ ihv o.iy disgraceof their parent, to
Mb .rv what had happened in forgetiulness andi
■live in the eiiievmcut ot her kindness. ihciij
■j.giii of operation was then arranged, his sto-.
■h-v was c • ully prepare 1 and committed to me
oiiiory, and it was agreed between them upon the;
, . 0, of M s. C. that they should visit:
IBordentown with ti» ostcus bte object o» meet-,
t*v ad ot Mina s, though she wcl- knew he
Biad no such find as he protended. The visit
■to the Mexican Consul was also made at her in
||s nice, to give stronger colour to the deception.
o- . ,■< u bi’ing practiseitip n Mr. Chapman,
■and her little son William was generally made a
»*ompanion that he might report to his father alij
pihat he had s *en. and so much of their convcr-i
station as it suited their views to allow him to o-l
Sa crhear and uudci-stand. In this way, the inti-j
ipnaev hot ween Mina and M re. Chapman gaining |
vigour dadv—things continued until Mr.
* lapman sickened and died, in a manner, which, '
1 om various accompanying circumstances, in
ai ;i Mma to suspect loul play, and ho liicrc-j
Tore charged Mrs. Chapman with the murder.
Bw first she utterly denied it, but finally oyer-i
* c,e bx his threats and intreaties, she confess-.
t! shi had adiuiuistered poison, which poi-
U; was not arsenic. The motive she avowed,
fef. •> love for Mina—strong, absorbing and un-
St- 'Ji.juerable love ; and she stated that Mr. L bap-.
S u, grown jealous of her palpable fondness tor
S stranger had dctenninetl to take the latter s>
S '• and for that purj>osehad procured and load-'
|-1 p!>tols w hich he only waited ior a proper op-;
S '‘unitv to use. To prevent this and indulge
ft r own passion in salely she had taken her bus-;
S L-i i's life. She threw herself upon the gener-
B'.ccv of Mina—appealed to the many proofs she'
If i given of her devotion to his service, and
ft- \- led in w ringing Irom him a promise ot
cvecv and protection. Mary Chapman, tho
M' ' the tinv* her mother was ignorant ot the fact,;
ft'as a witness to this conversation, and after
ftvanis joined in her entreaties to Mina, boon
I-. r this interview Mina and Mrs. Chapman
ftvent to New-York, where a mock ceremony,
ft. as performed bv a voting man of Mina s ac
ftpaaintance, whom ho imposed on Mrs. C hap
■m ui as Bishop Oudcrdouk. The certificate was
ftvrgcd.
Fhe ars,nic which he purchased irom Mr.
ftT'urand, .Mina declared was intended for a friend
|in Cuba, to whom it was actually sent for the
■purpose he had star.,.!, and he insisted that it the!
■Governor had but granted him a reasonable
I pace of time, he comdhavo show:, this tact ae-
‘yond all dispute. lie explained several other!
circumstances which had been produced against j
him upon his trial, and utterly denied having [
confessed to Blayney that he aided and abetted;
in Chapman’s death, though he freely admitted
having told Blayney that Mrs. Chapman hadj
I poisoned her husband, and confessed it to him.
The narrative, of which we have given a 1
brief and imperfect outline, & the explanations, j
•occupied several hours, and so artfully were the 1
■ various circumstances wrought up by Mina; su
•plausibly, and yet wuh such seeming sincerityjj
:delivered ; and so prompt and unhesitating was.,
he in answering every question put to him on the 1
;isubject, that the Attorney General was actually p
! staggered in his belief of the prisoner’s guilt. :
In a second interview Mina repeated the same
story without any variation, and urged addition-'
i reasons in support of its authenticity. The i.
Attorney General, strengthened in his doubts,;:
came to Philadelphia, and after consultation with!;
a judicial friend, addressed a letter to Governor
Wolf, asking for a temporary respite. Before
! the mail closed he had an interview with Bishop
Onderdonk of this city, who pronounced the cer
tificate of marriage to be genuine, and stated,
i| moreover, that he had been informed by his bro-i:
ther that he had united Mina-and Mrs. Chapman, jj
j As this—the only accessible circumstance in
i his story —was shown to be positively false, the ij
;whole of Mina’s ingenious fabric fell to the;;
jj ground, and the Attorney General very proper-i
i Iv wiihdrew his application to the Governor.
I On Monday after Mr. R-jss returned to Doyles- 1
| town, he w ent into Mina’s cell to communicate jj
what he had learned. Thinking that he:;
might have misunderstood him, lie again asked ij
■if the marriage was real, and Mina related the
I same story of a mock-ceremony and forged cer- |
jlificate. Mr. Ross then told him that lie had as- 1
Lccrlained this to be untrue, and that being so
grossly deceived, after so many protestations,
ihe could not interfere to prevent the law from i
taking its course. Mina, upon being told this,
became greatly enraged. He loaded Mr, Ross j
with epithets of abuse —exhibited the most un
; governable violence, and finally struck him a I
i| blow, which, had it not been caught on the arm, j
j would have been overpowering,
i In the afternoon of the same day, Mina, hav
ing drawn a nail from a part of the frame workjj
jin his cell, ground if upon the stone wall until it
| became as sharp as a lancet, and with this in-;
i strument he made two incisions, one in the arm, jj
| and another in the leg, from which he lost nearjj
; forty ounces of blood. He was also supposed to jj
j have swallowed some fragments of a broken *
phial. To prevent any other attempts of a like;;
nature, the Sheriff placed a guard in his ce11,.;
and Mina made no further elibrl at self-destruc- j
: tion.
Throughout the whole of Tuesday and Wed- j
‘nesday, Mina was remarkably cheerful. Ile
, ate heartily, and with excellent appetite. In the!;
' evening of the latter da} r he had an interview jj
1 with one of hrs counsel, to whom be persisted in';
| declaring he had a daughter, and when he spoke jj
lof her his voice faltered, and he wept. To o-'
1 1hers who saw him at a later hour, he exhibited Ij
no such weakness. He talked of ins ‘ big heart,’ jj
\ his fearlessness of death, an 1 conversed freely j!
j I upon mditierent subjects. Durin g the night he |j
entertained his guard —a gentleman of Doyles-j,
j town—with a great variety of anecdotes; —hen
|j related bis amours, and rejoiced in his success,!;
| and many times at the recollection of some fa- M
celious occurrence, ho laughed in so free ami
boisterous a manner, that none could imagine lie j I
i was near his latter end.—Ho did not close his
i eyes in sleep during the whole night.
On the following morning—Thursday—the
day appointed for the execution, wc spent some
time with him in his cell. As we entered, he;
rose, and, with great courtesy of manner, offer-;
ed us the chair upon which he had keen sitting, j
jj He looked pale and emaciated, but ins pulse was
jleven and firm. Having recognized us as a for
ijmcr \isiter, he enquired politely respecting our
■ i health, and in reply to a similar enquiry from us,
; he said he was weak, but very well.
We remarked that we were glad to find him
A—
i: apparently so firm and rcs'gned, at winch, draw.
:mg up his slight figure, with an air of dignity,
i and placing his hand upon iris breast, he said,
•• I am a soldier —1 no fear to die," and then re
lated several of his military campaigns, In all of
which, according to his account, lie was a per
fect hero. He said he had hold a commission in
i : the Spanish service for three years ; that during j
I that time he had been engaged in much active'
I military duty : but had finally connected himself,
J J r w
i with a gang of smugglers, and committed sev- J
; end frauds upon the revenue. His age lie st a
- ted to be i2’2 years and 7 months, and the time!
' of Ids arrival in this country, September, 1529. |
He denied all knowledge of the Xew-h orkmer-j
j J chants, De Forest & Co., spoke of the many j
II false reports in circulation respecting him, and
i| requested us to read his hie, just published by
Mr. Dcsilver, in which he said we would find a
true account of his adventures. Upon subjects
■more befitting his situation he seemed to have:
iino dipositlon to enter. In the whole of the in
■jterview bis manner ivas cheerful, but not mark
ed bv uncommon levity. He was neither ab
j stracted nor embarrassed, but spoke ol hiscom
j; ing death like one determined to die without a
i j pang. He expressed warm feelings of gratitude
ito the Sheriff for the kindness bestowed upon;
|J him. While we were there, a gentleman in uni
form was introduced, to whom Mina remarked
M that he was glad to have the honor and pleasure.
!of his company on this occasion. When we;
! bid him farewell he smiled, but not in sadness.
THE EXEtTTIOX.
The place selected for the vocation of Mina
was well chosen. It was an extensive piain,;
1 about two miles from Doylestown, and half a
j mile from the high road to Philadelphia, having
a gentle and gradual slope, which, without pro.
; due ing too steep a descent, afforded an excellent
;i prospect from all quarters. Tne gallows was
: erected near the cen ro.
At an earlv hour in the morning, tits troops,
who had been requested to ass.st in the duties ot
the dav. began to assemble : and soon alter a
i o’clock, a company of infantry was marched
into the area in front of the prison, with a view of
i! guarding‘the entrance from the pressure of the
*
|| crowd, which was already great, and was mo
il mentarily increasing. About half past 9, A.M.
j'the prisoner was b ought forth. He walked
*1 with an erect and firm step, and his manner
evinced no agitation. lie loaned on the arm of
Ij a Catholic Priest, who had been repeatedly with
■ him since his conviction, and was preceded by
i the Sheriff and his Deputy. Passing through a
double file of soldiers to the road, these four en
tered a dearborn wagon, in which Mina and the
'clergyman occupied the back seat. In front ot
, the vehicle, a number of constables paraded with
, their staffs, and behind walked several gentlemen,
who had been invited by the Sheriff to join in
the procession. On each side and in the rear,
was a guard of Cavalry. During the whole pro
gross, which lasted more than half an hour, the
i crowd was immense. Every fence was cover
led, and as far as the eye could reach, the road
was thronged with spectators, all anxious to ob
tain a view of the prisoner. The heat and dus
were both intolerable. Mina behaved with grea 1
l composure. He gazed at objects as he passed
with the quiet and gratified look ot one who has
long been shut out from the fresh air and the
bright sunshine, but there was none of that awe
manifested which ought to be in the countenan
ces of those to whom the pleasant scenes of earth
arc soon to be shrouded in utter darkness.
The troops, under command of Maj. General
Rogers, were drawn up, at the place of execution,
in a hollow square, and this arrangement, while
■ it secured the Sheriff and the prisoner from the
crowd, enabled the spectators to see with increas
ed comfort and advantage. As the procession
: attending the prisoner, entered the square, he
looked steadfastly at the gallows ; and, when he
i alighted from the dearborn, he ascended the steps
j leading to the scaffold with a firmness which, un
der all the circumstances, was astonishing. For
nearly nine months he had been immured in a
' jail—within a few hours he had lost a quantity
; of blood sufficient to reduce the strongest' man,
and, for two nights and two days, he had not ob
tain >d a moment’s sleep. Besides this, the jour
ney from the prison was distressing. The heat
was intense ; and the atmosphere thickened with
a suffocating dust, which made respiration both
painful and difficult. Despite of everything,
however, Mina was true to his strange charac- |
ter. As soon as he had recruited himself by a |
few minutes rest and a s ; p of water, he stood up i
and gazed around at the multitude. M henever
ho recognized a familiar face, he nodded and
! smiled with the greatest affability ; and talked at
lone lime to his counsel, Mr. McDowell, who was
! with him on the scaffold, then to the Sheri tF, an t
! again to the priest, using an abundance oi g s
! lures, with the airx>f one who had no special iu
; terest in the important event about to take place.
He scanned, wi.h a curious eye, the transverse
beam of die scaffold, as if to ascertain its!
istrength; examined the rope, and assumed the
| position in which lie wished his hands to be pla
• cod. After the lapse of nearly an hour, spent
in communings between him and the priest, con
versation with the Sheriff and Ins Counsel, and
I such observances as wc have already noted, Mr.
ij McDowell, as the organ of Mina, who had nei
ther sufficient compass of voice, nor knowledge
j; of tiic language to make himself heard and uu
jiderstood, addressed the assemblage. As near
j: as we can recollect, these were his words :
“ American people, you have before you an
i'innocent victim ; many of you are thirsty for
i his blood. Upon what consideration are you so ?
Why am I chastised? —By whom am I betray
•cd ? I have never done wrong to any body ;if
I have, 1 hope they will pardon me, as I pardon
them ; and us I trust that God will take mo in
to everlasting life in heaven. American peo
ple. you do not see before you a feeble man—l
iam a courageous man. I will not be thought a
feeble man—l will show you how I can die. I
■am not afraid to die. If any body here wishes
to bid me farewell, let them come forward and
shake hands with me.” A number of persons
went forward and did as he requested- This
ceremony over, the Sheriff read the death war
rant, during which Mina never blanched, and j
then the priest and the culprit kneeled together
and for a few minutes were engaged in solemn
c? o
and earnest prayer. When they rose Mina
walked to each of the four sides of the platform
and stretched out his arms, as if bidding fare
well, saying in a plaintive voice, “ poor Mina,
poor, innocent Mina.” The rope was then ad
justed, the black cap placed on his head, the
arms pinioned, and in a few minutes the blow
' was struck, the scaffold fell, and Mina was no
i more. He was executed at precisely twenty
ji minutes before twelve.
.To the last moment Mina preserved the reck
lessness of his nature. He iosis'ed that the cap
should not bo drawn over his eyes, for, in his
j own language, he did not wish to die like a wo-;
' man. For a few moments after the platform |
fell, so long as he might be supposed capable of
I retaining any consciousness, he did not sural
O J ?
muscle ; but soon the heaving of the chest andi
1 the spasmodic action of the lower extremities;
showed the struggle of life with death. He was
; i CO
taken down after hanging 35 minutes.
Mina was d res. m a black, Circassian frock, j
, buff vest, and light satteen pantaloons. The bo- •
som of his shirt was richly embroidered, and the
collar thrown hack over h s coat; his neck had
no coveringexet ; t a n. rrow black ribbon.
Thus died Lino Amalio F.spos y Mina, whose
s*range history will in .time to come be regard
ios idle romance. Such various eleraen s
i were mixed up in bun that they cannot be ana- i
lyzed ; his character is and always will remain
; ; * a marvel and a roys ery.” As he lived, so he
i died, without friendship or sympathy. Even
I bis daring wanted the attribute of true courage.
He was fool-hardy, but no: brave : he rushed
boldly on cous.queaces because he could no'
i| perceive them.
Too much praise cannot be awarded to She
riff Morris, tor his dignified and manly dis- 1
charge ot' the painful dudes which his official
station imposed upon him. \\ hilo he tempered
the severity of the law with a tender and credi
table humanity, he shrunk from the perform
ance of nothing belonging ro his functions. All
.his arrangements were praiseworthy, and not
withstanding the immense crowd, there wasnei
ft ther, so far as we could learn, accident or dis
turbance. The military authorities too, are en-
————- m — ——— —i — 1 --
I tilled to credit, and it is greatly to the honor of
Bucks county, that no public execution was ev
mr conducted with more decorum and sobriety.
