EXECUTED THIS DAY - September 24, 1854 JOHN HUGHES John Hughes, convicted last sessions of the murder of Mr. Marcus, was yesterday executed at the usual hour at the back of the gaol. The unhappy man up to the last made no further confessions or revelations in connection with the murders in which he participated. He was very pale and penitent, and on the brink of death earnestly joined in the responses to the prayers. Less than the usual number of persons assembled outside the gaol walls to witness the edifying spectacle, and among them we were happy to see but here and there an occasional female.
