was also quite aquantity of provisions (bacon, I,

Richmond, Va., January 14.?Thomas JjV ?.
Cluverlus, convicted of the mnrder of Frances . Y
Lillian Madison, was hanged In the city Jail >
here to-day.
As farly i s 9 A. M. people began to gather
In tlie vicinity, and hy noon every approach
to the Jail was packed with human beings.
The housetops nnd hillsides near the Jail from
wnlch a slgnt into the Jail yurd could be had
wore also crowded. Admission to thMnil was "
only had through tickets issued City SefgeantSmith,
who. though chary in glWnt
them out, admitted over two hundred persons.
The prisoner passed a sleepless night, most ,
of his time being spent with Beverly Crump,
one ot his counsel, who has done everything
to save or extond his life, and who remained
with him until 2 A. M.. and from that boar.
until 6 o'clock lie wns engaged In prayer and
at intervals In singing hymns. Fromdo'clock
until 9 he^lfpt soundly, and then arose and
ate at breakfast a.tenderloin beefsteak, mushrooms
and an omelet.
[ During the morning hours there was-moch
, speculation ns to whether the Governor would
I further respite him, and that question wns "
not finally settled until some time tn tbp at-'
ternoon, when Mr. Crump, who had been to
siu; the Governor, returned to the Jail and announced
that the executive power would not
be interposed.
Rev. Dr. William E. Hatcher came to tbci '
Jail about 11 o'clock and remained. with thb
prisoner to the lust, administering religious
consolation to and praying with him. . *' *
At noon a suit of new black clothes . WW ' /
hroughtto the Jail and the prisoner donnea
them. "
At two minutes to l o'clock the death procession
was formed, consisting of Sergeant
Smith, two deputies, Rev. Dr. Hatcher and
the prisoner, the latter having his hands tied >
in front, and his body from neck to ankles enveloped
in an old-fashioned lady's waterproof
cloak. From the cell the march progressed ;<
along the corridor and down two flights of
stairs to the lower court of the Jail, and then
into the yard fronting the cells of white prisoners,
forty policemen being on duty to keep
back the crowd. The prisoner, though thin
and pnlo, moved with sieaay steps 10 me scat-.
fold, which he ascended in the same quiet
manner and stood on the trap. f
Sergeant Smith then read the death war-,
rant, or a copy of the Judgment of the court. " ,
which the prisoner listened to with bowed
head and apparent closp attention. ,
When the Sergeant had concluded, he asked
the doomed man If he had anything to say,
and G'luveriusreplied, "No* sir. nothing at *iall."
His voice was scarcely audible. ? Dr.
Hatcher then knelt and offered a feeling
and fi-rvent prayer, and when he had finished
he turned to the prisoner, who said a few
words In a low tone, and Dr. Hatcher, turning
to the crowd In the yard said: "I am requested
by the prisoner to utter one won! for him,
and that is that in this moment of death be
carries to the grave no feeling of ill will towards
any man 011 earth. Dr. Hatcher then
left the scaffold." Raisins both hands as he
went out, he said the prisoner bad asserted
his Innocence to the last. Jnst, before leaving
his cell. When Dr. Hatcher had gone, Deputy
Sergeant Allen tied the prisoner's knees tightly
together, put the rope around his neck and
adjusted the black cap and hood.
Kverythlng being ready, Sergeant Smith
gave the signal, and at eight minntei after 1
o'clock the trap was sprung. A sudden swish
nnd the clahg of the tailing trap door, and the ?O
next instant the body of Cluverius was at tbe
end of the rope, ten feet below where he had
bpen standing.
The rope, which was mado of parti-colored
silk, stretched over a foot, and the toes of the
hanged man nearly touched the brick pave*
ment beneath.
A minute of quiet, and then there was cotii
siderable struggling, lasting severat minutes,'
together with heavy, stentorious breathing*

After sixteen minutes the physicians pronounced
him dead, and twenty mlnntes after/
the trap wiis sprung the body was taken
down, placed in a plain wooden coffin and
turned over to an undertaker to be prepared,
for burial at his former home in King and
Queen County.
THE STORY OF THE CRIMEi
The following is the history of the crimc foif
which Cluverius was hanged:
On the morning or 14th of March, 1885, Mn
L. Hose, keeper of the old city reservoir in the
Western part of the city, in makln* his usual
round of inspection, discovered the body of a
woman in the reservoir. He at once notified
the city authorities and the Coroner, who had
the ttody taken from the water, when it was
seen that It was a young woman about 22
years of aae, and quite good looking. The
Coroner, sifter reviewing the remains, pronounced
it a case of suicide, aud had the body
removed to the morgue at the city alms-house
for identification.
Peter J. Burton, a reporter on the Richmond ,
Dispatch, subsequently went to the reservoir
ana then to the morgue, and his investigation
resulted in the formulation of a mtirder theory
upon a chain of circumstantial evidence
which drove conviction to many minds. A
further examination of the body disclosed IJhfl
fact that the unfortunate woman was far advanced
in pregnancy. Turing two days many
people saw the body, and it was finally recognized
by two young ladies Cthe Misses Dun*
stan) as a friend of theirs, Miss Fannie Lillian Madison
of King and Queen County, but who
had for some time pa?-t been teaching schoolIn
Rath County. The Coroner s Inquest resulted
in a verdietot probable murder.
Detectives and police were set to work, and
In a short time brought to light circumstances
which add?d strength to the murder theory,
A woman who had registered atthe Americati
Hotel on the 13th of .March, under the namd
if "Miss F. L. Merton," was missing from the
hotel, and her disappearance and the finding
if the body about the same time furnished ?
fatal clue, but for which the murderer might
never have been known. While the so-called
Miss Merton was at the hotel she wrote and
received several notes, but one directed by
ler whs never delivered, and after her departire
from the hotel it was torn to pieces by the
:Ierk and cast into a waste basket. Scraps of
iliis note and envelope were subsequently
jrought to light, and when pasted together
wed as one of the principal links In the
bain which convicted the murderer, it being
tddressed to "T. J. Cluverius." Further Injuiry
developed the /act that the man was a
,'onng lawyer of King and Queen County,
< ii r\C tho donPASPfl.
The discovery of this note led to the -arrest
>f riuveiln?, who was known to have been
n Richmond ou the 13th of March. He Vfas
bund at the residence of hi" aunt, Mrs. Tuntall.
in King and Queen County, and brought
o this city.
He waived a preliminary examination and
vas sent to the grand Jury of the Hustings
.'ourt. He was indicted in a preliminary way
or murder, and bis trial began at the May
crm of court and continued for twenty-eight
lays. Owing to the difficulty in obtaining
ompetent Jurors In Richmond, It was found
lecessary to draw talesmen from Alexandria,
,nd n Jury was finally Impaneled with seven
tichmonders and five Alexandrians compos*
ng it. The prisoner pleaded not guilty and
lie trial proceeded.
Nearly :>0o witnesses were examined, andtop
by step the evidence fixed upon the prlsner
the brand of seducer and murderer; and
tiien the able counsel on both sides had conluded
their efforts for and against the accusd.
the jury, after but a few moments' considration,
rendered a verdict of murder in the
irst degree.
The prisoner throughout the trial "was cool
nd undaunted, and his self-possession was a
[*uitful theme tor comment. His counsel exepted
at every possible point in the evidence,
nd a<ked for a new trial, which was refused,
nd C'luverius was seutenced to bo banged on
be 20th of November, 11*85
An appeal was then fatten to the Supreme
lourt of the State, which, however, availed
lie prisoner nothing but a stay of execution
?r over a year, as the court, with but one disputing
voice.affirmed the judgment of the
nver court.
('luverius was then re-sentenced to be hangr!
I lecember 10, IS"*!}. The last resort, the
liief Kxecutive, was finally applied to for
anion or a commutation of the sentence to
fe imprisonment; but the Governor, after
ivilli? the rase the most considerate atten
on, could find no reason for interfering with
lie mandate of tl*e courts. Ho. however, resitcit
tin-condemned until to-day.
Mr. \\*. S. I.igon, a prominent merchant of
.mlcrson, and who was one of the excursion- >
>ts to Augusta, died suddenly of heart discabd
riduy morning in that city.
