The morning dawned bright and clear It waa one of those Indian summer dsy when men feel joy in !i ring, and in Ox ford county, just in this pretty town, J. Reginald Bircball awaited tbe hang man's summons that hs waa ready to do him. to death. Tbe condemned man passed yesterday niucn a he bad passed the days preceding during the last four weeks. His wife was with him uptj a late hour tbe night before last and tbe meet ing muat Lave been a trying one, a Birchall appeared somewhat unnerved yesterday and more inclined to reticence snd gravity than on the previous dsy He spent much of his time with Rev. H. Vade, bis spiritual adviser, and ftieuds. Every train brought crow da of people, meetly repreeentaUva newspaper men, and the hotels found it hard to provide placee for alt. The sheriff waa besieged for pease !o the execution, but le thsn were issued. Mr. Birchall has borne up wonderfully under the strain, but spent most of yesterday in her bed. Death Watch Midgely aaid to the Unit ed reporter last night: "Birchall will make uO confession: lie says he has nothing to confess, and persists that h ia innocent. Whether this is true or not he has got wonderful nerve. The interviews with his wife have been very harrowing to assist in. He baa told her just what he haa told me, that he did not do the actual shooting, but ha has had a fair trial and a good jury and he'll have to swing." The ofHcisle at the jail were early astir that morning and some of theui had been np all night. Birchall had not slept, but watched and prayed through the dreary hours with Rev. Mr. Wade, whose loyal kindness and Chris tian devotion haa stood him in good stead. Breakfast was served to th prisoner at 0 o'clock by Deputy White head. Rev. Mr. Wads joined his in a cup of wffee. Afterwards Sheriff Percy and Priaon Inspector Chamberlain en tered tba celt and tha death warrant waa read ta tbe condemned man. His friend Laetham had been admit ted meanwhile, and as the fatal word wars read BirchaUahaidderea a little- ond turning to hia friend said: "Take bold of my band sal man." Tbe re quest was com plied wftb and the two trisnda stood together. "Have you any- uisnua snoos thing to aay law being fu tor, finally, i sat tbe warrant 01 thai fulfiiwdr askad tha inspee- whss tba sheriff finished reading aod Birchall replied. liav nothing to aay." A big wall enclosirs carpeted with green sod and flanked on the east by a aaildiap out up by barred, windows waieh let Jight through the masonry walla and U tbe corner, where a new gibbet stood. The ward was full of men with note books out and anx iously gaxed alternately at the acaffold and at the door io the building ap proached by five atone aaspa. Then th tsrribla sound of insasurad stsna sraac heard to resound from the paved pass age iato tha jail and a man 'a voice broko the stillness with ths beautiful words: Iamtbs resurrection and the life," and tbe peaksr appeared a handaoma, kindly looking cWrgyman in his white robes, book to hand and eyes turned; upwards. It waa Hy. Mr. Wade, and ho beaded tba procession of tba con ¬ demned. After him came the old sheriff, with his cocked hat and inaiona of office, and other jail officiate, and then Birchall himself, very. bate, aod his Slor intenaified by the-blus chevu t suit wore. Whan ha dacsnded tha step th keeper took his left arm and hia friend Tjsatham hia right, and between tbese- two ho waucsd nnBweaiaaTly to ths gal- Iowa and too a: ma uaoa oeneatn trie beam a little east of ths center. -Lord lot ma know my end aad tha number of my daye, thai I may know how long L have to live." It eosnded particularly grim, this appeal of the goapel to those who knew thst tba braver bad been ao-' wered before it waa spoken, for Birch all's vary laat mowsnta were counted. Tbe m (bister tbea shook Birchall' hsnd 1 and kissed him good bye, after whijh tha 39lh psalm was road through, and tha hangman, grim looking, took Birch-! all' shoulder aod squared him under1 tha bean. Next ha produced tbe black . cap aod fitted it over his face and thel minister Dagmn ut uora prayer.
