And it was all over.
Tlio spectators noticed that all this wnssaiil
mutdonoliMW few words as possible ; that
there was no disposition upon the part of
Judge Clarksou to do any lecturing , and that
10 did not usurp the oflleo of rollglous
counsel by calling upon God to huvo
norcy upon the prisoner's soul. All
of tbe.so features wore much com-
noniou upon by several ot the most eminent
noinbers of tlio bar present ns ovlncliiK a
liKh order of very excellent taste and pro *
iricty upon tlio part of .liulgoCluikson ,
Ncal is the srcoiul man to bo sentenced to
loath in the present county court house. The
ither occurred live years ago , and Tom Hal-
ard , who killed Henry Vorpoortcn , was the
nan. Something of a coincidence hi connec
tion with tills faut H that Mallard was prose
cuted by Leo Kstello , esq. , then district at-
; orncy , ando \ \ Is now counsel for Neal.
IJallard pot anew trial and was given peni
tentiary for life.
After tlio Hccno of Neal's sentence was con
cluded ho and his counsel told a Dun reporter
ihnt they bud nothing to say , literally speak
ing. Thocasowillbo luld before the supreme
court Just as soon as transcripts of the pro
ceedings can bo made.
Sheriff IJoyd will put n death watch ovcf
the doomed prisoner Immediately , day and
ninht , in Neal'H cell.
Jly referring to tlio calendar It will bo
noticed that Oetolier ! comes on Saturday
Instead of Krlday , the usually selected duy of
death for criminals.
A straw which xecmsto indicate something
of a chungo In Noiil's ' antlciputions other thari
that ho will finally got Into the pcnitcnltnry
