Winslow Russell
Troy, (N.Y.) July 23.
The Execution
On Friday last, pursuance to sentence, Wineslow Russell, convicted of the murder of Michael Beckus, was executed a little east of the village. So large a collection of people was never before witnessed in this country. Some that the number at thirty thousand. From the time of the unfortunate creature’s confinement in the prison, he had every attention paid him by the devout of all denomination of Christians, by some of whom he was visited daily for the purpose of preparing him for the world into which he was about to enter; nor ought we to omit mentioned the lenient and humane disposition of the Sheriff through the whole time, whose conduct is spoken of with entire satisfaction by all.
A few minutes past 10 in the morning Russell was brought from the prison in front of the court house where standing on his coffin, which was placed in a cart, he addressed himself to the concourse in a speech of a few minutes length – warning them of the fatal effects of ungoverned passions, which he said had brought him to his present condition and concluded by expressing his firm belief that he had received forgiveness of God for his misconduct. The time, the place and the occasion conspired to render what he said peculiarly affecting. After he had concluded, several prayers were made by different clergymen and two and three psalms and hymns was sung; the Rev. Mr. Coe then delivered a discourse to the multitude. The prisoner was then conducted to the place of execution. Here the Rev. Mr. Butler delivered part of a discourse he had prepared; time had so far advanced that he was obiged to discontinue it. The Rev. Mr. Chichester then made a short concluding prayer and the prisoner ascended the gallows. Here he again addressed the crowd – to which he acknowledged himself a great sinner – that he had been the means of taking the life of a fellow creature, but not willfully and he begged no one would harbor a thought that the act was done with premeditated design – after which he bade all farewell and was launched into eternity.
