LOCAL MATTERS.
HANGED EOS 3IUHDEII;
On the afternoon of Friday last Jan.
20th), William K.ty Xeil was lianged for
the murder of Seth W. Hayes, an old and
highly respected citizen of Ilalsey, In this
county committed on. Wednesday, ; No
vember 1st, 187G less than three months
Everything had been done by the
relatives and friends of the doomed man
to secure from the Governor a commuta
tion of the death sentence, ' but the dread
morning broke only toassuie Neil that tor
him there was no hope of an extension ot
life on this fair earth beyond tlie time set
for bis execution. - ;.. ' ...-!.
i-About T o'clock a. itof Friday, hrthe"
eonnty jail, the prisouer partook of the
sacrament of the Lord's supper; adminis
tered by Eev. Roberet L. Stevens, pastor
of the Episcopal Church, Mrs. McMeekln,
annt of tite doomed man, also partaking
with him. For some time previous the
ministers and christians generally had been
frequent visitors to Neil's cell, where they
had prayed and exhorted him ' to make
preparation for the'luture ; and in bis last !
hours he professed to feel that his eins had
been forgiven, that he had made his peace
with God, and was not afraid to die.
TOE GALLOWS
had been erected in the rear or west side of
the Jail, the platform being seven or eight
feet high and probably ten feet square,
some eight feet above which was the cross
beam from which was suspended tho rope
that was to perform Its part in the dread'
ful tragedy about to be enacted to appease
ouendeu justice. . j 1
i m CURIOSITY. J : ' ;
Long before the hour sctfor the execution,
hundreds of people were congregated in
and around the jail-yard to Witness the sud-
uen taking off of a man in the prime of
manhood. A great portion ot the specta
tors were men, but there were a Jew
women who had the nerve and took a deep
interest in the matter about to be consum
mated. , , 4:
THE PRISONER.
The prisoner, accompanied by his spirit
ual adviser, Bev. Robert Stevens, and
Rev. S. G. Irvine, D.D., pastor of the TJ.
P. Church, escorted by Sheriff HeiTen and
deputy, appeared nnd mounted the plat
form promptly on time. The prisoner, up
to the time of leaving the jail and mount
in jT jthe s!affiidr alf lio.iph waring- rm1r
seeuied calm auSf resigned ; but after" get
ting upon the platform, where a chair was
furnished him in whieh to set for a few
brief moments, his strength seemed to de
sert; him, and thenceforward he acted as if
stnpcfiod from the action of some powerful
narcotic. ;
ON THE TLATFORM.
Upon the platform, in addition to those
already mentioned, we noticed City Re
corder Montanye ; S. B.- Eakin, sheriff of
Lane eonnty ; Sol. King, sheriff, and J.M.
Hamilton, deputy, of Benton county ; Drs.
O. P. S. Plummer and J. L. . Hill, of this
city. Rev. Robert L. Stevens then offered
a short prayer, asking God's mercy upon
the prisoner, ; , - ., ,
Before mounting the platform, Neil bad
disclaimed any intention of attempting a
speech ; but after prayer had been offered,
lie signified his desire to speak to the peo
ple. Agreeable to this request, assisted by
the Sheriff and deputy, Neil approached
the south side of the platform, and in a
slow, hesitating, and at times inaudible
voice, which became less audible and more
hesitating as lie proceeded, delivered the
following
ADDRESS '
Ladies atid Gentlemen : I am to be exe
cuted. I want you to listen to me. I liave
Deetr improperly conducted. I ain't 1
am t I feel I'm innocent of the charge
nre, oi aiiytmtig proved against
me. I was justifiable in what I did, I
ain't I ain't 1 ain't guilty. I believe in
the Lord Jesus Christ, that ho saves me
now. 1 am ready to go now. I am. I
did not do this mmtfcr of which I am
charged now. I am going to say what I
think. . . r.
The prisoner then moved slowly back to
(tie center of the platform and was placed
in the chair, when the black cap was drawn
over his face and the rope adjusted about
his neck. Everything being ready, the
prisoner arose from the chair, exclaimed :
"God help me I" the trap-door fell, and
Neil was launched into eternity.
JUSTICE SATISFIED.
The rope, being new, gave more than
was expected, and the toes of Nell touched
the ground ; tlie Sheriff and assistants took
up the rope at onee, and made it fast.
Seven initiates after the fatal dropi
physicians, after examination, found the
poise had ceased beating; at tho expira
tion of ten minnte-s life, was prononnccd
extinct. " '
' Tho Sheriff and deputy were calm and
cool in the dlscliarge of their unwelcome
doty.' "." , '
The body has been forwarded to Califor
nia, the residence of deceased's parents, a
casket for the body and money tor the ex
pense having been forwarded to this eity.
