Henry Deieona- lie Hosnys was exe
cuted here to-day for the murder of his
wife, Eliza De Hosnys, in WestjMirt,
on August 1, lsKg. De liosuys passed
bis las' night in jail quietly ami slept
well. On awakening this morning he
commenced the day with hi* usual
series of noises in imitation of different
animals, of which he was a perfect
mimic. He ate a hearty lire,akfast and
then went out to view the gal ows. He
land well finish
ed, and talked ami joked with his
guards. The rope was thoroughly test
ed with a bag of sand weighing 1G0
pounds. The people came into town
from all directions unti a large crowd

turn.
Tim morning dawned cloudy, with a
strong westerly wind and some raiu,
but at eleven o'clock the sky became
clear and the wind subsided. The peo
ple present kept very quiet aud no
sympathy was expressed for the con
demned man. No liquor was allowed
to he sold in the town. The Sheri If

yard, followed by seventy spectators.
The sheriff and a deputy sheriff en
tered the cell and pinioned the prisoner,
who was then brought into the yard.
At ten minutes of twelve o'clock I>e

around his legs at the
knees.
The Rev. Father Reddingfcou, who
w.ta with him, -aid a prayer and then
asked the prisoner if he had anything
to say. Debosnys replied : " l have, I
am innocent of the crime. You have
made a mistake. The blood
knife was the blood of a chipmunk."
The black cap was placed on his head
and the drop fell at fifty-four minutes
past eleven o'clock.
There was no struggle or perceptible
quiver. The body was cut down at
twenty minutes past twelve o'clock.—
At half past one o'clock the yard was
cleared and Dr. Patterson, of Westport,
took possession of the body, for which
he had paid $Lf» to the deceased, who
told one person that he was going to use
the money to buy a donkey to ride
through purgatory.

against eleven of the Saturday night

Those indicted arc as follows : Thomas

McCall, William Honey, Dauiel Tom
liuson,Charles Butler, William
(colored) and Kdward Faries.

the rioters, .lames L. Wolcott and
George V. Massey, Ksqs ,are counsel for
the defendants.
OPINION or THE DOVER PAPERS,
In reference to the riot of Saturday
night the Dover Sentinel devotes quite
a lengthy space,from which we clip the
following :
y night last witnessed
the most dastardly outrages upon the
streets of this town that the citizens of
any town were ever subjected to. The
town was in virtual possession of a
gang of ruffians armed with shot-guns
and pistols, who shot down innocent
and unoffending people without provo
cation, and in a cold and premeditated
manner. Twenty of the showmen wen;
wounded, five of them seriously.
They had done no wrong to their slay
ers, and were even unknown to them.
Their death and wounding had not even
a quarrel to palliate it, but they were
shot down like brutes while guarding
their projierty and trying to leave the
town. Theshootlng was plumed hours
before it took place, and numerous ac
cessories before t he fact were occupy
ing windows to witness the "fun," as it
was » allcd by the participants.
The paper also contains a lengthy
editorial on the subject, ami denounces
the whole affair as a most outrageous
one, perpetrated by a gang of rowdies
who invest nearly every town.
The Delawarean treats the subject in
an editorial from which we clip the
following extracts:
The State and town authorities are
using every endeavor to ferret out the
guilty parties in this disgraceful affair,
and we have nodoubt that the authors
of this whole affair will be brought to
justice. While no right-thinking por
will t xcuse or palliate such a breach
of the peace, we think that it is the duty
of good citizens to withhold judgment
in the case until the facts are brought
to light in tie- courts, and the guilty
parties, whither our citizens or the
showmen,in this miserable and disgrace
ful street light or riot, are brought to
justice.
|(Tie statements, however, that have
•ecu spread broadcast through the press
* of a highly sensational character,
and in some respects glaringly untrue.
The accounts of theorigiu of the trouble
are conflicting, so also as to who are the
aggressors and we don't pro|»o.-e blind
ly to condemn anyone for the reason
that the affair is being ferretted out by
the officers of the State, who when suffi
cient evidenee has been obtained will
place the blame where it justly lies.
While we are and ever will be the up
holders of the law, we deem it improper,
pending judicial investigation into the
matter, to give expression of opinion in
reference to the guilt or innocence of
those charged or auspicioned as being
connected with the disgraceful affair.
