Execution of the Ormondville Murderer.
+ |_Per Peess Association.] NAPIER, July 15. Edwards, the Ormondville murderer,, was executed this morning. He was apparently perfectly callous. He walked up the steps leading to the drop, without indicating the slightest fear, and stood under the gallows without a tremor in his limbs. As the clock struck eight, the signal was given by the Sheriff, the bolt was drawn, and the wretched fellow was hurled into eternity. Death was instantaneous.
