At quarter past twelve Wednesday, the necessary preparations being completed, the drop fell, and this wretched woman was ushered into eternity.

After hanging three quarters of an hour, the body was cut down and placed in a coffin and conveyed to the County infirmary, where, pursuant to the sentence, it will be publicly dissected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
