Notwithstanding the anV ^louncement that the execution ' SLsj^vonld he private, as provided by He'*' law, a crowd cam town to wit-j uess it, and those who were denied I access to the jail got its near as possible outside, hoping to catch a | K glimpse or the grim tragedy that iJ' was beiDg enacted within. A few minutes after twelve, noon, the condemned prisoner was led forth from his cell aud prepared t for the terrible ordeal. He was ; ^vdressed in a new suit of clothes and appeared entirely unmoved by the 1 imminence of death. Asked if he ? wished to make a statement, he said ' that he had never denied committing the crime and re iterated his oonfession of guilt. He admonished everybody to walk the straight path and warned his color not to do as he had done. Advised boys to 15 profit by his fate and behave them! * selves. Said he was ready to go, I J then turned to Sheriff Graham and | a told him to ''go ahead.'' His voice merer faltered and his hearing was and indifferent throughout.

Then : were threats of lynching and feel ing ran high, but the cooler head prevailed and the negro was safel' delivered to the Sheriff. A specia i term was asked for and granted ; at which the negro was tried am duly adjudged guilty of the crinn ' with which he was charged. ; Thus ends a case, deplorable i : is true, but one in which the lav I scored a distinct victory ove i threatened mob violence and lynch ! wg. ! ?
