JAMES BRAITHWAITE, Clerk. Ee citing Gallows Scene. [Nem the Weldon (N a) News, May 291 s Yesterday being the day for the ere- cution of Gus B•tker and Jim Thomas, w tivo l�Wade Ditcher murderers, at Bali- t ax, early in the day crowds of blacks and a, goodly num.kier of whites corn- r ;Rented assembling in the town of . w lIalif1 x, with the vain hope of seeing t the execution. The murder is acknow- if ledge to have been a most atrocious one, and -litl'e or no. sympathy was rnanifestecl on any hr'nd. ,All the pre- parations necessary for the hanging bad been made, an enclosure . some fif- e teen. feet i igh having been erected in 'hoot of the fall, with a rough but sub- an :stavtial scaffold erected at the south- th eastern side of it. . da aUp to Thursday- the prisoners had entertained .some hope of a respite er a corhmuting of the sentence, but upon tife arrival of the respite for George to `lB`\y.line and refusal l of the Governor to " h ing a different cell), and said there wee no justice inhanging him and Thomas, and respiting Bayline, when all three were coni ted on the same evidence. Such were his feelings that, we tarok he .would have murdered Bayline had the opportunity been offered. His -ap- pearama was that of a demon, and ex- hibited the true character of the man. Thecause of this hatred against, Bay - line springs from the confession maid by the latter a few days since, anti which they declare to be false. ' Thursday night they spent in endeavoring to court sleep. but without effect, except in one instance Thomas slept for s, few moments, from which he was aroused as , if fronn a terrible dream. Friday came, and as far as they knew they witnessed for the -last time the sun gladden the earth with its rays,nBreak- fast was served them, but they ate .nothing, only drinking a clip of coffee. Baker asked for a julep, which was fur- nished him. Between the hours .rf. 12 and 1 the execution was to take place 11 o'clock arrived, and with it a de- spatch from Governor Holden's Secre- tary at Raleigh 'demanding that the prisoners be not hung until Friday, the 4th of June, stating that the respite would be forwarded by mail. •• Sheriff John.Reid refused to ,acknowledge this /despatch as official, and so: telegraphel Holden's secretary. Shortly aftfr 12 o'clock a second despatch was rec4ived from Raleigh, requesting the Sheriff to stay the execution to the last moment ; that Governor Holden, who was in Bal- timore, had again been telegraphed to. At 12:30 o'clock the Sherriff arrived at the jail grounds, and proceeded to ar- range for the.execution. During this time the exoitement had been intense, owing to the various despatches, and the probabilities as to whether the - Sheriff would recognize any despatch as valid. The respite which came' in the morning was in answer to an urgent request from Mr. A. Conigland, olie of the prisoners' counsel (but which appli- cation was made without the knowledge of the prisoners themselves), who de- sired that time should be given Gus Baker to soe a Catholic priest, he (Ba- ker) having expressed an earnest desire to have one with him before be was executed, Mr. Conigland having 'tele- graphed Governor Holden early yester d.iy morning. But the Sheriff haling declared his intention to hang them, regardless of Horner's telegram, at 12 o'clock, Mr. Conigland, accompanied by two ladies, visited the prisoners' cell and read the services of the Catho- lic church to them and prayed with them, until interrupted by the entrance of Mr. Deputy Sheriff Horace Reid, the rites of baptism being administered after the prisoners were tied. ' The an- nouncement that the hanging was about to take place° caused the swaying masses outside to press against the wall and ,move to and fro—only some fifty wit- nesses being inside, including several members of the 3press, " physicians, and the number allowed bylaw. The prisoners were then • led forth into the yard, and walked,' apparently. cool, upon the scaffold. - Baker was dressed in white pants, white shirt, and white gloves ; Thomas• in the same manner with the exception of colored pants. Sherrill Reid, assisted by Deputy -Sheriff' Horace Reid, then ad- justed the ropes around their necks, placed' the caps over their faces, and death seemed inevitable. But a few minutes remained until the expiration of the time allotted, and the Sheriff de clared his intention of waiting five minutes to See if any further despatches hould come. At 'thi juncture the risoner's counsel clailii d .thrat the time ad expired, and deem nded that the mrison ems' could not lie 1 ux•g after that lime without a positive iulation of the aw, and that by so doi g the She iff would lay himself liable, The Sherif own time wanted nine c.inu ti s of c ine, and many bystanders ustaiued him. Considerable excitement heriff avowing. his determination to s h 1 t 1 prevailed, the ang the prisoners vitllir .the time his_ itch called for ; but vc hen this met- er was being wan rely c'iscussed, .the risoners in the nle;,iltiwe starving eady to be launched into eternity, an ting only the knocking from. beneath hem 'the prop which held their life as by a thread,;a despatch came in fm ori Governor Holden, worded as follows Baltimore, Md., Rely z8, 1b69.

The prisoners were then. released from their cap' and rope, and quietly conducted back into their caul -to be exeute1, on Friday the 4th June for the murder of Wade Ditcher in this place, unless again they receive Execu- tive clemency, which is by no means probable.. In the meantime, a priest will b sent to administer the proper rites to the condemned. And thus ended what came near being an execu- tion, forming in its details one of the most singular event s we have ever witnessed. TENDERS WAN1ED.
