Therefore he wanted a man; He wanted an intelligent man, skillful, prave. to cross the East River to Long Island, enter the enemys camp and get information as to his strength and intentions. Ha went to Colonel Knowlton, commandlg a remarkably efficient regiment, from Connecticut, and requested him to ascertain' if this man so sorely needed could he found in hlB command. Colonel Knowlton called his officers together, Btated the wishes of General Washington, and, without urging the enterprise upon any Individual, left the matter to their reflections. Captain Nathan Hale, a brilliant youth of 21, recently graduated from Yale college, was one of those who reflected upon the subject. He soon reached a conclusion. He was of the very flower of the young men of New England, and one of the best of the youngpr soldiers of the patriot army. He had been educated for the ministry,' and his motive in adopting for a time the profession of arms was purely patriotic. This we know from the familiar records of hiajife at the time when the call to arms was first heard.

His true character was immediately re- -; vealed. Drawings of some of the British works, with notes In Latin, were found hidden In the soles of his shoes. Nor did he attempt to deceive his cap-tor-s, and the English captain, lamenting, as he said, that "so fine a fellow had fallen Into his power," sent him" to New York In one of his boats, and with him the fatal proofs that he was a spy. September 21st was the day on which he reached New York the day of the d of the great fire which laid little city In ashes. From the time of hla departure from General Washingtons camp to that of his return- to New York was about fourteen days. He was taken to General Howe's headquarters at the Beekman mansion, on the East river, near the corner of the street and First present Fifty-firavenue. It is a strange coincidence that the house to which he was brought to be tried as a spy was the very one from which .

If he had lived In our day he might have railed the stroke oar at New London or pitched for the college nine. . . The officers were conversing In a group. No one had as yet spoken the decisive word.

Short was his trial, for he avowed at once his true character. The British general signed an order to his provost-marshdirecting him to receive Into his custody the prisoner convicted as a spy, and to see him hanged by the neck "tomorrow morning at daybreak. Terrible things are reported of the manner in which this noble prisoner, this admirable gentleman and hero, was treated by his jailer and executioner. There are savages in every large army, and it is possible that this provost-marBhwas one of them. It is said that he refused him writing materials, and afterward, when Captain Hale had been furnished them by others, destroyed before his face his last letters to his mother and to the young lady to whom he was engaged to As those letters were be married. never received, t'.,is statement may be. true. The other alleged horrors of the execution It is safe to disregard, because we know it was conducted in the usual form and in the presence of many spectators and a considerable body of troops. One fact shlnea out from the distracting confusion of that morning, which will be cherished to the latest posterity as a precious Ingot of the moral treasures of the American people. When asked If he had anything to, say. Captain Hale replied: I only regftt that I have but one life to lose for my country.. . The scene of his execution was probably an old graveyard in Chambers street; which was then called Barrack street General Howe formally notified General Washington of his .execution. In recent years, through the industry of investigators, the pathos and sublimity of these events have been In part revealed. A few years ago a bronze statue of the young hero was unveiled in the New York City Hall Park.
