The Daily Dispatch: July 1, 1862., [Electronic resource], An Escaped prisoner. (search)
uffer death for being concerned in the robbery of Mr. Weisshar's house, in Toulouse street, (already mentioned,) and as being of a gang that, under prefence of authority from Gen. Butler to search for arms, had committed numerous other robberies, were hanged this morning inside the Parish Prison. Roy and Clary were hanged together, and afterwards Crage and Newton. The condemned prisoner, who assumed the name of Theodore Leib a native of this city, on account of his youth and other circumstances, had his sentence committed to imprisonment on Ship Island at hard labor during the pleasure of the President of the United States. A large number of United States officers and a few citizens witnessed the execution of these men. Outside, all the morning, there was a large assemblage of people, and, as usual, many of them women, who, though they could not witness the awful scene, stood in a dense mass under the broiling sun, apparently, like Micawber, waiting for something to turn up.
