Are you quoting something or are you saying that you saw "the long account of the execution published in the New York Herald the next day"?.

If you have access to the account, it would be fascinating to see it. I thnk we could find webspace somewhere to post it, especially if it was a scan of the newspaper. Actually, I could put it on my web page. I would love to see the real story as it was covered at the time. It must have been considered important, not only to make it to the New York papers but to get there just a day later.
