strong force of cavalry .infantry and police
were present to preserve order. No at-
tempt was made at disturbance however.
The morning opened beautifully but there
were showers at about the time the execu-
tion took place llrady arose at 0 o clock.
At ti.iS Canon Kennedy ot

O'Reilly Bilmtnielered the sacrament to
the condemned. The three remained pray-

hoisted over the prison. Three minutes
past almost immetliuloly alter i he flag was
raised a horse and ooach with mourn
era was seen at a distance coming in the
direction of the prison. The police
however interfered and prevented the
vehicle from approaching. There bad
been reports circulated that alter
the hanging nt llrady his friends would en-
deavor to excite pcojde to a demonstration
by parading an empty hearse through the
citv. llrady was visited by his mother last
evening. She was heard toexolaim "Mind
Joe. no statement." llrady smiled and re-
plied "Don't be foolish! Do you think i
sm a fool?" Ills slated that his mother
threatened to disown her son if he gave I he
government any inhumation. A wreath'oi
lowers was received by llrady to which
was attached a card bearing an
expression of grief at his fate
from Irishmen living in liiverpnol. llrady
made no statement to the jail chaplain or
the governor ol the prison. One of the last
things be did was to write a letter to bis
mother. He carried bis prayer-book in
his band to the sculVold and was thoroughly
resigned and llrm. His body fell nine feet
and tils death was instantaneous llrady
was dressed iu the same clothes he wore
during bis trial. T ie number of persons
In the crowd outside it is estimated
reached 10000. The throng is said to have
been greater than any nf thosu which col-
ecled when the executions were public.
The verdict of the coroner's jury wss
that Brady'sdcuth was caused by a rupture
of the spinal cord. A juryman stales that
the features of the dead man were slightly
swollen and the eyes protruded. Hi's
tongue was half cut iu two between his
teeth.
