Just before he was turned off, he declared himself innocent--said he forgave every person, but Koontz and the others who assisted in taking him. He confessed he had attempted some time since, to hang himself by cutting up his shirt and twisting it into a rope,--said he did not care about death--that he had faced it frequently, but disliked the kind of death he was about to experience--gave directions about tying the rope around his neck, &c. It is thought there were about 2,500 persons present.
