The Execution of Roxilana Druse.

The "New York Times" of the Ist inst. contains a long accounb of the execution, ab Herkimer* New York state, of the woman Roxilana Druse, for the murder of her husband. The crime for which the woman' suffered was one of almost incredible ferocity, and the Governor of Now York Had refused to reprieve her, despite enor . mous pressure from hor "sympathisers." Ihe convict was accompanied to tho scaflold. Her special attendant was a rev Dr. Powell," and sho seems to have ( been kept waiting on the drop whilst the Key. gentleman prayed and made a speech to .he reporters and "twelve reputable, citizens,' who had been chosen according to law to see the execution carried out. i The " Times " reporter says :—Dr. Powell broke the silence. Mrs Druse knelt while , ho prayed ; he commended her soul to the care of God, and assured her that she would receive far better treatment in the world of her future than she had done on earth. He asked pity for the mistaken souls who .demanded an eyo for an eye. Mrs Druse was asked by the sheriff if she had anything to say before the sentence of the law shoulcl be carried out. For answer she turned to Mr Powell. He had promised to speak for her. He spoke briefly, simply thanking those who had befriended the woman, and asking her enemies to do as she had done—forgive. Then raising his voice, ho said, " And now I wish to speak for my self, not to you only, but to the whole world. I have led up on my arm this'sor rowful child of earth to the fatal spot, and stand by her side as her true friend in trouble; but I am not here as a party to this ghastly scene. I havo no manner of sympathy with it. It seems to me out of place in the civilisation of our day, and in compatible with tlie sweob spirib of our Christian religion ; and I can bub hope bhab the humane people of our beloved land will from this dark hour sweep tho law of punishment by deabh into everlasting oblivion." Lowering his voice, and turning bo Mrs Druso—'< Go bo bhy fabe, brembling child of sorrow. Go bo thy loving Fabher, God. Go bo thy compassionate Brother, Jesus, and to the side of thy angel child who has gone before. Go bravely, in tho strength of hope and faith that there will be a place for thee somewhere above these dark and dismal shadows, po, penitent and bleeding heart: thy transit from earth to heaven will bo short. Go 1 While we say 'Go ' the angels; say'Cfime.' And may tlio graco of our Lord Jesus Christ, tlio love pf God, the fellowship of the Hply Spirib of truth and power go with and remain with you for evermore." The woman was then hanged. The woman over whom ffDr." Powell delivered his blasphemous exhortation was one of the worst of criminals- She led a depraved life. Quarrels with her husband were frequent, and on the mprning of the r 18th December, 18S4, she shot him with a revolver fis lie was sitting fit table. Two lads named Gate 3 and Druso - tho latter a son of the murdered man—were near bhe house, The accounb in the " Times " states how "Dr." Powell's friend finished her work: —Immediately following the shots, Druse's voice was heard, She was calling Frank Gates, The two hoys hurried back to the house. Reared in the vicious house hold, they were staggered but nob horrified by the scene prepared for them, Old man Druse sat oh a chair with his hands hang ing loosely at his sides and his chin on his breast. He was at one side of tho table. His daughter Mary stood at the other side of the table with a stout rope in her hands. Mrs Druse was standing up at the end of the table. In har right hand she held Mary's revolver. The smoke was still curling from the barrel. Handing the re volver to Frank Gates, she ordered him to shoob the old man. The-boy took the re volver and fired two shots at Druse. The . old man fell from the chair, his head strik ing-tire floorclos<_"fo-h^ small stove. Mary : Druse grabbed bhe rovolvar and tried to re load it. She performed the work in such a bungling manner that the revolver \v-enb oft, bhe bulleb passing dose to li6r brother's head. Mrs Druse was too impationt to wait till the weapon was reloaded. She ran to the corner of tho room and grasped an axe. . She swung ib around her head and brought bhe sharp blade down upon her husband's skull. He lifted his head from the floor, looked ab her, and said, " Oh, don't, Roxie." The woman swung the axe again. Tho blade sbruck her husband across bho neck. The woman's strength was such that the blade cut through the flesh and muscle and sank into the floor. The head rolled away from the body. Then in the presence and with the assistance of h^r children, tho woman coolly dissected the body and horned it in the sbovp. For her share jn the murder Mary Druse was sentenced to imprisonment for life. She Wrote very M touching" letters to her mother, The phief criminal has, not succumbed without a bitter struggle. Though the murder was committed in lpß4, she was not indicted fpr it until the April term of court in 1885, Her trial began here on September 21,1855, On October 3,1885, the jury returned a verdict of guilty of murder in the first degree., A motion for a now trial was made, and argued and decided adversely. Mrs Druse lyas sentenced to be hanged on December 30, 1885. On De cember 1 oi the same year an appeal was decided against }ier unanimously* and she was sentenced f?.t Uticato he hanged oh Juno 25, 1886. 'Her counsel carrjed her case to the Court 'pf Appeals. The date of her execution was again postponed until December 27, 1886. Thp Court of Appeals decided unanimously against her. As a last resort her case was taken before Governor Hill. He respited fhe ffoman until February 28,
