EXECUTION OF JOHNS, IN SYDNEY.

Scone on tho Scaffold,

(From the Sydney "Tklf.oraph.")

The execution of Frank Johns for the j attempted murder of a fellow prisoner named Roberts took place at Darlinghurst Gaol on Tuesday morning. As early as half-past seven o'clock a crowd of men had assembled in close proximity to the entrance to the gaol, where Mr Thomas Walker, who has latterly displayed _o much activity in endeavouring to obtain a ropnevo for Johns, animadverted soverely on the action of tho Executive in relation to the case. His expressions anent the Government were anything but complimentary to that body "This is a Government," ho cried, "that protect respectability ar.d insult poverty. We have had moro than ono in stance of how thoy neglect tho interests of the goneral community, and now they are going to sacrifice this youth." The obser vation elicited from one in tho crowd tho rosponso, " Let us sacrifice them." Mr Walker characterised the execution as " a State murder,' and opined with con fidence that such an execution would nover again bo pormitted in the colony, This kind of speechifying, interlarded at intervals with cheers, groans, and hisses, was kopt up for a couplo of hours. A few minutes before 9 o'clock, thoso who were Dcrmitted to witness tho execution, and who had assembled in tho Darlinghurst Court, proceeded to the court-yard of tho gaol where tho scaffold was erected. Be sides Sir John Read (Governor of tho gaol) and Mr Charles Cowpor (tho sheriff), there were present Dr. Maurice O'Connor (the eaol doctor), Mr Melville, M.L.A , Mr Abbott, S.M., MrC. E. B. Maybury (under sheriff), Messrs J. B. Allpros., J. Sims, and D. Cambridgo (of tho Sheriff's Department), tho last named performing the somewhat difficult task of recoiving visitor , Mr Lewis Scott, Mr Staple-on, Mr Levett (senior warder), and members of tho Metropolitan and Victorian Press. A largo posse of tho A division of police, under lnspoctor Hyam, was also present. As the clock struck I), the under-Sherifl oxamincd the noose which was concealed beneath a soldier's cloak, and almost imme diately after, tho condomncd man, who had spent a restless night and partaken of no breakfast, appoarod on the scaffold, being attended by tho Hoys. Goorgo and J. W. Brown, who, with the Key. A. A Maclarcn, had been ministering to his spiritual wants for some hours pre viously. Pale, dnzed, and pinioned, tho uitfortunato youth looked miserable indeed as tho servico for tho dead was read. At its conclusion, ho mado n speech, ad dressed to the press. That his voice was heard outside of tho gaol was proved by tho fact that ovor and anon ringing chocrs wore given by tho crowd beforo alluded to, and his face was frequently turned in the direc tion whence tho sounds procoedod. Po> scssed of a voice hat would mako tho for tune of a professional politician, ho spoke in loud, clear tones, tho pith of his words being that his execution amounted to murder, that when he "committed thedeod" ho was not himself, but an entirely different person, and thnt his allegations in respect to "that woman" were true. Ho was affected to tears when ho spoke of his mother, and asked his hearers to tell her that ho died with her namo on his lips. Ho sobbed loudly at this point, but recovering him self, stamped violently on the drop, proclaiming, in passionato terms, his lack of fear. When tho white cap was placed ovor his face ho asked leave to say a few more words, This was granted. Then he vohomently asserted the accuracy of his statement, and bade adieu to thoso around him. Then tho cap was again drawn down, and tho bolt was drawn. Death was not instantaneous. Tho neck was not broken, and life was not extinct for eight minutes after tho drop had doscended. The body was cut down in due course, nnd an inquest subsequently hold in tho usual way. It is understood that Mrs Johns, who with Mis.» Johns visited Johnß on Monday night, desires to possess tho body of hor son, and that if tho request bo mado, tho gaol officials will grant it, nnd allow tho remains to bo buried outside of tho gaol, but iv ground allotted for the reception of tho bodies of criminals. Tho follow ing is a report of Johns's speech : - Gentlemen of tho Press,—Perhaps I am incapablo of speaking, but I ask you, as mon, to ropresont truly what I will havo to say. I look upon you and soo that you boar tho impress of humanity (a pauso) and (an othor pauso). I fool that you havo human fooling within your bosoms, so I ask you to represent what I shall say. No doubt, you have como hore with tho preconceived no tion that as I am going to bo hangod I must, of nocossity, bo a villain and a scoundrel. Thouch I may bo corrupt, it is not corruption that prompts my speech at present, and now I, in tho faco of immodiato doath, cay thnt what I havo said in connection witli that woman (mentioning tho name) is true. I eny nothing, nbsolutoly nothing, and I ask you to boliovo nothing but what my mothor has already said, and what this woman horself told to my mothor. In con nection with tho decision of the Executive, conscientiously 1 feci as a man that they have not acted justly. No ! They havo not acted justly ; and I say now in tho face of death that I am about to be murdered, Yet, from tho core of my heart I forgive evcryono that has dono any harm to me. I forgivo them willingly, hoping that in this life and tho next they will bo happy ; that in this life they will repent and acknow ledge thoir crimo; and that Prank Johns will be tho last man—yes, tho last man - that will bo logally murdered in Now South Wales, Yos, I will repent that again. I earnestly trust that Prank Johns will bo tho last man that i 3 logally murdered in Now South Wales. And I feel, gentlemen, that I am boing murderod, for when I com mitted that deed I was not myself. I was not Frank Johns, I was a different being entirely. There is ono roquost —oh, how can I say it ? but nevertheless, I will tay it. Gen tlemen, you havo hearts ; I appoal to you, though, perhaps, imperfectly j but still I appeal to human hearts, ho matter how degraded human-hearts may bo, thoy are still susceptible to noble emotions j and, I appeal to you -and to tho officials and civilians —and ask you to write to my poor mothor, and if any ef you can soo her, do so; do so, and speak to hor. [Horo the unfortunate man sobbed loudly.] Speak to hor and toll her that Frank- Frank died loving her to the last— loving her to tho last. [Hero the prisoner again sobbed], and that hor namo was tho last upon his lips. Oh, my mother !my mothor ! Do I fear'? No. I havo not finished. Lot mo finish. I want to say a fow words moro ;' only a few words more. I havo upoljon nothing but tho truth in connection with this woman, and I ask you to bcliovo nothing but what my poor mothor has said ; but still I freely forgivo hor, and hope that she will bo happy in this world and tho next. As for my belief, I must say that 1 dio not what the world perhaps would call a religious man, but nevertheless a man. Oh, the rope is too tight; soo, my hands aro blue owing to the weakened circulation of tho blood. I ask you again as mon to try and comfort my poor mother, Good-byo. Mr Bro'vyn ; you havo aoted as a man and a Christian. Good-byo. I forgivo evoryono. Represent truly what I havo said. Oh, my poor mother !"

SIR JULIUS VOGEL'S PETITION.

(UY TEMtIRAMI—PARLIAMENTAKY

REPORTER )

Wellington, this day. On all sidos Sir Julius Vogol's action in pre senting his petition while holding a seat on tho Ministerial benches is advcrsoly criti cised. The " Post" thinks that tho petition will be treated as a political question instead of on its actual merits. While rogrotting that tho uncertain state of his health ren dered it advi.ablo in Sir Julius's opinion to adranco the claim at the present moment, it thinks that in his own interest Ihe poti tioner would havo acted more wisely in re training from asking Parliament to consider his claim during his occupancy of a seat in the Ministry.

"Writing about Sir Julius Vogel reminds me of something I heard to day from a Minister regarding the recent crisis in con nection with the tariff. My friend re marked that not only was Mr Stout desirous of resigning, but Sir Julius Vogel was also desirous of going into opposition. A con tingency, however, arose, which prevented them from carrying out their intentions.

AUSTRALIAN NEWS.

,— — ■»■■ (PER R.M.3. AUSTRALIA,) SYIiNEV, July 10. Parliament is to meet on tho Bth Septem ber, when little else can be done but pass the estimates, as the dissolution must take place in December by effluxion of time. The agitation respecting the execution of the convict Johns was led by Thomas Walker, the Freethinkei, who upon the night previous used language of an inflam matory character. The Governor received the deputation, but declined to go behind the decision of his advisers. On the morn ing of i he execution a huge crowd assembled otusido tho Gaol walls, where speeches were made, and thoio was a good deal of cheer ing, all of which was heaid by the convict whon he was addressing the press from the scaffold. Johns died a Freethinker, although ho was attended at the last by clergy. Tho weather has been very wot. Now no fear as to the s.arcity of water. Captain Walker, and Mr Morgan, mate of tho Cahors, havo been ordored to appear before the Marine Boaid on Monday to answer a aharge of default, the loss of the vessol being attributed to them. A proposal to expend ton thousand of the Patriotic Fund in the erection and mainten ance of a home and hospital for non-com missioned officers, sailors, and marines of the Australian Squadron, will be discussed at the noxt mooting of Committee. General Scratchley is organising his small staff preparatory to starting for New Guinea. The Geographical Expedition left Thurs day Island for New Guinea, all well. Brisbane, July 16. The Assombly passed the Payment of Members' Bill. Tho maximum amount is fiied at £200 for the session. A meeting of electors at Mackay passed a resolution that tho proposed scheme to ask the Government to grant loans in aid of erecting sugar mills is the only solution of the labour diiticulty. Tho Government accepted a tender for the first seation of the telegraph lino to Cape York; length, 200 miles.

NORTH AUCKLAND RAILWAY.

Serious Accusation Against the Government (Vrom our special rekwthr.) Wellington, this day. In condemning clauso 26 of the State Forests Bill, which measure it otherwise approves of, the " Tost" says :—" Tho real intont of this clauso is not apparent upon its faco, but it is nevertheless pretty well understood in tho lobbies, and is said to furnish a clue to tho otherwise singular fact that certain Northern members, who were not remarkable last session for any admiration of the present Ministry, aro noted off by the whips as strong and reliable Ministerial supporters — put into plain words, thut this clause is inserted in the Forests Bill to onablo the Government to assist a private railway company to tho north of Auckland, which, having undertaken the construction of a ruilway to connect certain forest lands with a port of shipment, finds itsolf unable to carry onthe work withoutGovernmentassist anco. Tho intention is to render assistance to tho extent of £50,000, or something like fivo times the amount of Government;money which tho Company has exponded of its own funds. For all wo know to the contrary, it may be {flvery desirable for tho public into est - that this line of railway should bo made wholly or partially at the public cost; but tho question shouldjbe faced openly and boldly on its morits. It is most impropor that such a proposal should bo foistod on tho Stnto Forests Bill, and a subsidy to a private railway company bo mado to appear as on expenditure in aid of tho conserva tion and development of State forests. This railway is wanted simply to enable a numbor of Auckland capitalists to bring to market, at a cheap rate, timber which they proposo to cut in a certain largo area of forest land, at present not easily aecos. ible, We tail to soe how tho railway will in any way tend to ocneen'e, improve, or extend Stato forests, and \Vo are aston ished that any Government should have brought forward such a proposal in such a form, however great might bo the tempta tion to secure political support in oertain quarters by doing so." Your readers will remember that Eeveral days ago I mentioned it was very improbable that the clauso roferred to would pass.
