London, April 27. They write from Stuttgard that Mr. Suss,
heretofore Privy Counsellors and President of the Chamber of
Finances to the late Duke of Wartemberg, was hang'd there
the 4th of this month, on a gallows of iron, and afterwards
put into an iron cage fixed thereto.
. . . He was carried to execution cloth'd in scarlet
embroider'd with gold. He struggled so much and made so
violent a resistance, that it was with great difficulty he
was executed. He would fain have spoke to the people when
he was on the ladder, but he was hindered by the noise of
drums.
