Gov't Report, Aug. 17, 1889. Ettf PURE ^ Julius Wyse Hanged. The people of this county are conversant with the crime of Juliv.f Wyse in killing "Willis Stork about 3 years since; his trials, escape from , I ioil ^snfiiro orwl vpcspiifin 1>A ? hanged 011 Friday last between the hours of 11 and 2 o'clock, j Notwithstanding the conviction of ; quite a number, and of many that he j would be reprieved or his sentence | committed to life inprisonment, the : Governor declined to interfere, and ; the law was allowed to take its I course. Wyse never lo3t hope of a reprieve ! or commutation until the evening I . i preceding liis execution, wlien his | wife joined him in earnest prayer, : and throughout the night he paced his'cell and prayed. In the morning I he ate his breakfast and then sent i for his family and a minister, all of whom joined him in prayer. He then requested two hours for meditation, at the end of which time Rev. Gowdy again visited him and he joined the church, partaking of the Lord's Supper. At 12:10 Sheriff Drafts read the death warrant to him. He appeared i collected and resigned and in answer to the Sheriff's permission to speak said, <kI have nothing to say.'' He asked permission to bid the other prisoners good bye, which was granted. He then mounted the gallows and being permitted by the Sheriff to make any remarks he might wish, turned to the crowd and said: "I have but little to say. I have made my peace with God and have uothing against any living being. I hope God will have mercy 011 my enemies who have worked so hard against me and show them how they have wronged me. "Many people around here have accused Mr. Drafts of letting me out when we escaped. It is not so. He was not here when we escaped, and knew nothing about it. I hope you all will meet me in Heaven and now I have no more to say." Sheriff Drafts then bound him and | just as was about to place the black I cap over his face, George Hayes, one urged him, if he had anything to say, to say it now. Dr. Leaphart standing near and knowing that it had been rumored that Julius, dying declaration would charge him with criminal or dishonorable acts, said, "Julius,! they have been insinuating around that you had something to say that would damage me aud I expect that I will have to slap somebody's face before it is done with, so if you can say anything against me, now is the time to say itV Julius looked at the doctor who said, "Did I ever make an improper tn vnnf "You never did." he replied. "That is more than you can say for some of 3rour enemies, isn't itf' "Yes, sir, you know what I told you this morning." The black cap was drawn at 12:54. At 12:56, Sheriff Drafts coolly and deliberately struck the trigger, and th soul of Julius Wyse was sent hence for its final judgment. The body droj *d about 5 feet and his neck being broken there were only a few muscular contrac tions of the thighs and shoulders to indicate that the body had once been the temple of life. Within five minutes all movements had ceased and in 12 minutes Drs. AV. C. Beckham anil Govan Williams pronounced life extinct. The body was cut down in 17 minutes after the drop and was placed in a coffin and delivered to his family. His remains were taken to the Colored Methodist church and remained thero until next day when it was interred in the cemetery adjoining.

As rumors continued to reach Sheriff Drafts that Kinard, the Irmo j rape fiend, was to be lynched the J Lexington Rifles were kept on ?juard from ATnndnv. iiio-lif. bust, in Smidnv evening, when more positive information reaching him tliat a lynching party would attack the jail that night, he concluded that the best thing for him to do in order to prevent the loss of life of citizens of Lexington county was to remove Kinard to Columbia by the night train, as it was certain that an attack on the jail, while the Rifles? were in ehflro-e. would result in tlie death ol some of our good citizens. He therefore, took Kinard fcto the train under the protection of a guard and placing him in charge of deputies T. P. Meetze and A. B. Drafts he was carried to Columbia and placed in jail. The deputies then proceeded to the executive mansion, woke Gov. Tillman up and informed him of their action. He ordered them to take him from the jail and place him in the penitentiary j which was done. He remarked to I Mr. Mcetze that be would see if it was in bis power to call an extra session of tbe court to try him, and if it was, be would do so tbat be could be promptly sentenced and bung. Tbe wisdom of Sheriff Drafts action was confimred by tbe appearance at tbe jail about 2 o'clock Sunday night ; of about 20 men, several of whom knocked and demanded tbe prisoner. Tbe Sheriff informed them tbat be | had sent him to Columbia, and to convince them of tbe fact took them j with a light to all the cells and let j them inspect to their own satisfaction. This being done they quietly departed, and just afterwards shots were heard in different directions from the departing crowds on the various roads towards their homes. It is stated by parties living 011 the roads coming to town that the crowd numbered about 200. Proceedings of the Sem. Executive Committee.
