Mksi-ks. Editors:- This usually quiet
town wus the scone of considerable excite
ment to day, arising out of the incidents
' connected with tho proposed execution of
the colored prisoners. Baker and Thomas,
who were, respited until this day week by
Gov. Iloldeu.
The condemned men, with another oolored
man named Johnson, were tried and con
victod of the murder of one Wade Ditcher
a negro, at a Court of Oyer and Terminer,
held here in July, 18tK An appeal was
taken to tho Supreme Court, where their
Counsel, Conigland and Solomon, iusistol
that they had beon illegally convicted, up
on three grouudo,
First: Because the new Constitution does
not authorize Courts of Oyer and Termi
uer.
- Hocomlly r Ueeauao or --'variances - in
the connts of the indictment.
, : Thiidly: Because of error in the charge
of the Judge.
But all the points were overniled, nl
though eminent lawyers, w htm attention
was called thoreto, were with tho prisoners
uii the hr.st point.
lieforea resentence could behnd, the three
, prisoners escaped froni the Halifax jail
were recaptured not lontr ago, and were
wnteuccd by Judge Watts, at the last term
of our l onrt uere, to be tiling tins ilay
between 12 aud 1 o'clock. Johnson, wh
was shot on his recapture, had been respit
ed until the 25th of Juno.
The recent law with respect to tho place
pf executing criminals was construed by
tho county authorities as requiring tho
erection of au iuelosnre. Tho Halifax jail,
like most jails in the State, was without
one, but during tho past week one of plank
was put up, sixteen feet high, the width
of tho jail front, and about thirty feet in
depth. Within this the gallows was built,
whilst every blow that was struck on the
work soundM in tho cars of the
prisoners and warned them of their ap
proaching fate.
Johnson, the respited prisoner, very re
cently made a confession, which appears
in the Koanoke News of lilllh inst., implica
ting Baker and Thomas, but assigning to
himself no further part than that of a by
stander, save by aiding in concealing the
body after the murder. Tho statement
differs, in some important particulars,
- frOm that of the witness on whose testimony
the men were condemned. But neither the
confession of Johnson, nor the evidence of
the witness on tho trial, makes it the atro
cious murder which many persons are fond
of representing it. Baker could not be
convicted of murder upon the statements
made in the confession, unless npon the
bypothesia of o" common design," and all
the evidence tends to the conclusion that
the whole affair arose oat of a sudden
quarrel, without any premeditation what
ever.
At an early hour thi, morning, Mr.
Conigland, who bad been one of their as
signed counsel, sent a telegram to Governor
Holden requesting a respite of one week
for the prisoners, on the ground that he
'Lad been informed they desired the minis
trations of a Catholio priest, and it was
impossible to procure - one before
the time appointed for the execution,
large numbers of colored persons soon
began to assemble, with quite a number of
whites, but by no means so large aa in case
of a public execution. A oolored minister
waa admitted and exhorted and prayed
with the prisoners. On hisdeparture a
Oatbolio gentleman bad an interview with
them, the result of which was that they
