The death warrants of Henry Fife, Monroe Stewart and Charlotte Jones have been received by Sheriff Patterson of Allegheny county.—
The Governor fixes Friday, the 12th day of February, for the execution of Fife and Charlotte, and Friday, the 26th--two weeks later—for the execution of Stewart. The object, for delaying the execution of Stewart is understood to be for the purpose of awaiting the dyings <sic> declaration of the other two as to the guilt or innocence of the condemned. It is thought they will declare his innocence from the scaffold.
