EXECUTION OP TilOS. SMITH.
L si Thursday was the day appointed for
tbe execution of Thomas Smith, convicted of
tbe murder of his brother, Sidney Smith, and
bis sister-in-law, .Barbery Smith. The time
set for the execution was between the bours
of 10 o'clock a. u. and 1 P .u. Long He
tore ten o'clock crowds .of people were
thronging the streets and sidewalks on foot,
on horseback, and in wagons, buggies and'
carriages old men and young boys of every
age maids and matronsmothers with in
fants in their arms all hurrying to witness a
guilty fellow-creature suffer deatb by the
linker. Before 1 o'clock a crowd had collect
ed at the gallows variously estimated at from
fire to Seven thousand. At 12 o'clock precise
ly, the prisoner was taken from the room in
tbe Court Il iune, where he bad been confined,
and conducted by tbe Sheriff and bis deputies
to a carriuge, and, followed by au immense
throng, they proceeded to tbe gallows, aliout
one half mile wen of town. The prisonor s
cended the scaffold with the same callous iii
difference that he exibited during bis trial
and confinement. The Sneriff .then read to
the spectator' a statement dictated and sign
ed by prisoner, Jeclaring thnt any confession
published on that day and attributed to him
was " not his confession," and that if there
was any such confession written or published
it was " without bis knowledge or consent."
The prisoner then advanced to tbe front of
tbe scaffold and spoke as follows :
Ladies and Gentlemen : You' all know wi'b
what I am charged. I confess to the deed
and fay tbnt my punishment ia just. I com
mitted the murder.. I bare nothing to say
against tbe sentence. I have been treo e 1 with
respect by tbe Sheriff and his Deputies. The
SueriB'a wife and some other ladies of Albany
bate visited me and treated me with respect,
and I thank them. I have read the Bible a
good deal since I have been in jail and I shall
die nappy. I don't fear death. I have feared
it and since I have been in jail I have suDor
ed deatb twenty times, I think. I feel now
that I shall die happy.
He whs led to a seat on tbe opposite side of
tbe scaffold, and tbe Rev. J. B. Callaway
knelt with him and engaged in prayer for a
few minutes, after which tbe Sheriff again
conducted the prisoqer to the sido of the
scaffold, and be spoke again as follows .
One more word,. Ladies and Gentlemen:
I have been charged witb having money bid
or put away. I do not know where there is a
single dollar. God knows I do not know
where there is a single dollar ol Sidney Smith s
money. Tho man who don't believe this is a
had man, I ilni K. If I knew where there wa
any money I would tell. God knows I would
not take one dollar from those cbiiaren.
They will get what I have, and I am glad of
it. Tuis is all I have to say. I will now bid
you all good bje. 'i
Wben bo bad finished speaking be was con
ducted by tbe Sheriff to a chair placed on tbe
drop. He maintained his stoical composure,
though he became weak while addressing tbe
crowd and bis voice husky, nod he faltered con
siderably. After being seated over the drop,
the rope was immediately put upon bis neck
and adjusted, and at twenty minuteB before one
o'clock the drop was let rait, and Thomas
Smith, guilty before God of one of tbe deepest
dyed and most atrocious murders to be lound
on the criminal record, was ushered into eter
nily. Two or three spasmodic jerks -or tbe
feel were all tbe motions made by the body
Everything was arranged in the most com
plete manner about tbe scaffold.' Sheriff
Richardson is deserving of great credit for
the quiet, orderly and perfect manner wllb
which everything relating to the execution
was conducted. . The moat deplorable sight
connected witb the whole transaction was to
see so many persons of every nge, conditioo
and sex pretcnt to witness a human being die
an ignominious death. Of this feature of the
affair we shall speak hereafter. Albany Jour
