The negro Thompson was very sullen
from the time lie was taken
oil the train until the rope was placed
around his neck. Robinson maintained
that lie was going to heaven.
When Mount Vernon was reaehed
on the trip from Birmingham, eight
men wearing white masks hoarded
the train, five of them leveling pistol
at Sheriff Powers and his deputy
ami said the men had route for the
prisoners. The revolver* of the sheriff

About l?t) yards from the tree on
which the hanging took place the cry
was given to "hurry," and the mob
and prisoners broke into a run. After
running 25 yards a big oak tree was
reached, and the mob stopjied and
ropes were produced. Fearing trouble

pressed and at 9 o'clock p. in., they
