A dispatch of the 12th instant from Guay- mas states that only a few minutes before the time set for the execution of J. K. Taylor, held for train robbing, a message was received from the authorities at the City of Mexico ordering a suspension of the execution, and Taylor still lives. He made a desperate effort at suicide, and on the day set for his execution he was unable to stand on his feet. The writer remem- bers Taylor, when he was a partner with G. W. M. Carvil of this city, as happy, easy going young man, with an honest, though reckless face. He was kind and generous, and must have changed greatly since leaving here, or else he is not guilty of the crime charged against him.
