Washington, July 7.
All condemned conspirators sentenced to v
be hanged to-day, were executed. On the I
petition of Mary Surratt, through her coun- I
;el, Aiken and Clamett, Judge Wilder, of c
the Supreme Court of this district, directed c
,n issue of a writ of habeas corpus to General t
Hancock, commanding him to produce in
Court, at ten o'clock this morning, the body
of Mary E. Surratt, with the cause and day
of detention. The writ was served on Gen.
Hancock at eight o'clock this morning, by
U. S. Marshal Gooding. He immediately
consulted with the Attorney-General and the
Secretary of War. At 10:30, the General
had not obeyed the writ. This fact was.
brought to the notice of the Court by her
counsel, but the Judge said he had no power
to enforce the writ. To-day guards were
placed all around the Arsenal grounds to
prevent intrusion of persons to the scene of
execution-none being admitted excepting
those previously supplied with tickets by
Gen. Hancock. The relatives of Mrs. Surratt
and Harold spent several hours with them
during the forenoon. They were attended
by their spiritual advisers, as were also
Payne and Atzerott. A few minutes after one
o'clock the outer prison door was opened.
Mrs. Surratt was supported on her way to
the gallows by two military officers; next
followed Atzerott, Harold and Payne, accom
panied by a guard and their respective min
isters. Front seats were reserved for them
on the platform, in the following order:
Mrs. Surratt, Payne, Harold and Atzerott.
Officers intrusted with the execution, and
ministers, occupied intermediate positions.
Gen. Hartrauft, who had been from the
commencement in charge of the prisoners,
came forward and read the order of the War
Department, approving the sentences order
ing the penalty of death to be inflicted. A
heavy guard was stationed on the'walls sur
rounding the grounds, while below soldiers
were formed on two sides of the square.
Perhaps several hundred civilians were pre
sent.
The priest who attended on Mrs. Surratt "j
repeated a short prayer, to which Payne, mi
who was seated next to her, attentively lis- o
tened. The minister who had been admin. co
istering to Payne, expressed in the name of to
the latter his sincere thanks to General G
Hartrauft and the officers and soldiers who g,
had charge of him, for their personal kind- C,
ness. They had uttered no unkiqd word, G
and given no unpleasant look or gesture, but C,
seemed to compassionate his misfortune. A
The minister then uttered a brief prvyer, pq
asking for Payne's forgiveness of all sins, it
and a passage out of this world into the joys b.
of Heaven. The minister who attended on it
Harold also returned thanks for kind treat- l:i
ment of the prisoner, and offered a prayer f,
that God would receive his soul. Harold o
was affected to tears. The minister who a
attended Atzerott also returned thanks to
Gen. Hartrauft and other officers, for their b
kind attention, and then invoked the mercy *
of God on the prisoners condemned. They h
were required to rise from their seats, when,
the chairs being removed,'they were all'on g
the drops; their hands were fastened behind
them, and legs `bandaged below and- above ,
the knees, while caps were placed over their
heads. Atzerott, while being prepaked for
exeeution, exclaimed: "Gentlemed, fare
well! Take care! Good bye, gentlemen,
now before me." One of the clergymen
Sstanding near, exclaimed: "May we all
meet in the other world!" As soon as the
noose was put around each head, Mrs.
Surratt's being tbh last one adjusted,a section
of the platform on which they bad been
standing suddenly fell. The culprits were
e hanging several feet from the ground. Mrs.
e Surratt and Payne scarcely moved a muscle.
Atserott exhibited some twitching; but
e Harold showed more nervous sensibility
than any of the others. The bodies hung
until life was extinct. Afterwards they were
- given over for burial, rough cofins having
re already been provided forthat purpose. The
arrangements for the execution were perfect.
Gen. Hancock was present throughout the
proceedings. It is said that Payne last night
as made a statement in behalf of Mrs. Surratt,
a. exonerating her from complicity, and thba
all the other prisoners subscribed to an a
davit, impeaching the testimony of impor
tant witnesses against her.
