he signal was given, the platform, loaded with iron to accelerate its fall, swung heavily down with a sullen crash, and in a few minutes the soul of Wm. B. Mumford passed into the presence of his Maker. During all this time a vast crowd swayed to and fro in front of the Mint, and thronged the levee, every eye fixed upon the awful scene, while along the long line mounted men galloped, preserving order. Upon the consummation of the sentence the assemblage quietly dispersed to their homes. After hanging twenty-five minutes, Dr. W. T. Black, Acting-Surgeon to Gen. Shepley's staff, and Dr. Geo. A. Black, Agent of United States Sanitary Commission, approached the body and ascertained the heart had ceased to beat. It was allowed, however, to remain suspended about twenty minutes longer, when it was cut down and placed in a coffin prepared for the purpose. At five o'clock P. M. it was conveyed to the Firemen's Cemetery, and there interred. Requiescat in pace. --N. O. Delta, June 8.

The Daily Dispatch: June 27, 1862., [Electronic resource], The execution of Mumford. (search)
His coolness was wonderful. In speaking his voice was perfectly steady, and when the hood was drawn over his head I could not discover so much as a tremor of his hands. The fall, which was about four feet, dislocated his neck; but owing to a slight accident the knot was displaced and worked up under his chin, leaving the windpipe partly free. The result was that muscular contraction did not cease for ten minutes, though it was at no time violent.--The body hung for 30 minutes, when Dr. W. T. Black, surgeon of Gen. Shepley's staff, who, with Dr. Geo. A. Blake, of the United States Sanitary Commission, was in attendance on the execution, ascended a ladder and ascertained that the heart ceased to beat. The body was then allowed to hang nearly twenty minutes longer, when it was cut down and placed in a plain pine coffin. The crowd then dispersed quietly.
