*The Arkansas Gazette mentions the execution of a man named Jacob Strickland found guilty of the murder of George Decon and that he was carried to the gallows in a state of intoxication in which situation he was not only allowed to harangue the crown but permitted to take three additional drinks of grog! What a disgusting spectacle.
