HALL THE MuRDERER.-A gentleman who
visited and convcrsed freely with Hall, the mur.
dercr of Mrs Bacon, in the Middletown Jail, a
few days since, informs us that he declared it to
be his intention to petition the Legislature for the
privilege of being hung in public. lie docs not
like the idea of being put out Of existence in i
back yard, away from his fellow beings, save per-
haps surgeon and sheriff. He says that he pre-
fers to be executed rather than have hls punish
mcnt commuted to Imprisonment for life, and in
Inmates that he shall demonstrate against any pc
tition Of HE frondo for communication OF punish
ment.


He is apparently 25 years Of age, Of rather
spare features, and naturally intelligent f; but he
is ignorant, not being able even to write.
