The Italian ambassador at Washing ton pleaded with Governor Parker for the Ii.es of hi. -s countrymen but his pleas a* well a a. those of thouaamwi of Italian Americans went unheeded. The men were hanged on the double falit.w- at 30 minute intervals with locklike regularity, four dying calm ly and the oth*r two, one as a result of it i attempt at .suicide and the other rot nervous 'collapse, realized little of what was in progress. The executions began at noon. l.amantia, while boona and > Oea more, the first pair to hang, were swaying from the gallows and Kini and (liglio were waiting in the corridor to begin their walk to the ?uaffold, took advantage of an instant when thv turnkey had faced another direction, obtained a small pocket r knife he had secreted and stabbed and gashed himself in the chest several times. All of the prisoners were searched last night for weapons and where l.amantia had concealed the knife no official could learn. He had thick hair on his head and sotac believe it probably had been hidden there. Kini and Ciiglio were returned t(? their .cells and Lamantia was taken into the corridor frtr an examination by physicians. They pronounced the ! wtninds superficial and those in Charge of the executions sent Laman tia and Bocchio to the scaffold. I'occhio because of his collapse as a result of failure to obtain a last minute reprieve, had to be carried up the scaffold. When, placed on the trap h?- could hardly stand and a priest put his arm about his shoulder, keeping if there.- untit*he fell with the trap, l.amantia with his shirt stained with blood from the self-inflicted wounds could or would not stand and he was seated 'in a chair on the trap and went to his death it) that manner. Five ofc-the men went to instant death, the drop breaking their necks but Giglio, one of the last pair to die, strangled. Giglio turned his head just as the trap was sprung, slipping the knot from the vital spot, swayed and as the rope straightened with the fall his body writhed. The authorities had expected trouble with I.eona and Deamorc, both . of whom had shown' indications of lunacy during the; last two weeks, but they went to their deaths with, tirm step and were perfectly rational. A few minutes -before the prisoner.*? left New Orleans Wednesday for Amite. I.eona stabbed himself in the chest Ave times with a dirk. Kini and Ciiglio talked before the I1 death masks* wore adjusted. "This is butchery and ought to be stopped. Four are dead already and now you are killing two more. I hope you devils are satisfied," Kini said bit terly. (iiglio vehemently denounced Gov ernor Parker. They were asked who the seventh man in the hank robbery conspiracy vva> hut declined to answer. A seventh man is believed to have switched out the lights in the hank simultaneously with the arrival of the robber car in Independence*. Rini and (Iiglio Embraced and ki.-sed before they died. ?

According to his confession, I.eona came from Brooklyn to New Orleans to make whiskey. In the home of a friend in New Orleans was hatched the bank robbery plot and h^ invited the other five to participate. They secured revolvers and dyna mite and set out for Independence. In the fastness of the night th* bit? automobile stopped near the bank. Leona alighted and went to recon noiter, in preparation for the bank blasting thst would follow.

Mayesville, May 11.- ? A small fun nel shaped tornado passed within one mile of Mayesville this evening at 7: IT), destroyed all outbuildings, barn and stables, gin house and one tenant house on the H<, C. DesChamps farm. The storm followed Black River, destroying one house on the \V," D. Rhodes farm. Trees and everything in its path, which was 1 0p fe<?t wide, were torn up. It would rise and fall, which saved spots in its path. Messrs. Mayes, Tiller and Greer just happen ed to get out of its path and ran from their car to an embankment and watched the cone shaped wind carry ing high in the air articles it picket! up. No one was reported injured. The suit of Miss Helen Jesraer, former Follies girl, against Philip Morgan Plant in a New York court for $500,000 damages, for alleged in juries received while riding in a car belonging to Plant and driven by him, has been settled out of court. Report is that Miss .Jesmer has been paid $100,000. " i.UmiP'."' III"" ' ' . APTBR THIRTY-FOl'R YKARS Sumter County Lady Kind* Her Kn gagement King in KieM. Sumter, May H. ? "Truth is .strung- 1 er than fiction." It is an old saying but its truth demonstrates itself every once in a while in a very in teresting manner. All of which brings' up the point in question. Thirty-four years ago, next Septem ber, Mrs. T. B. Brunson, then Miss DuKant, for it was before her marriage lost her engagement ring. The other day it turned up in per fectly good condition, ready for her to wear, except that her finger had become more ample in the thirty-four j years which have passed and the ring j was too small and had to be enlarged, j The ring was found on A^>ril 17 j bj/ Mrs. Brunson's son who was plow- j ing in\a field near her house.' He saw j a bit of something shiny and curiosity ! made him stop his plow and go back j to see what it was. He scratched in j the soft dirt and uncovered a ring j with a diamond solitaire. At home \ his mother recognized her engage- j ment ring which she had lost in Sep tember, 1890. Mrs. Brunson, in speaking of the matter today, stated that she remembered the loss of the ring because it was on her birthday. She thought at the time that it haJ been stolen but now that it has been found, she remembers that in that year the garden was in the vicinity of the place where the ring was found and she had been in the garden to gather vegetables. What makes the recovery of the ring more wonderful is that it was in perfect state of preservation, not even being tar ! nished. The initials "T. B. to L. D.,"! were just as plain, after the ring had ' been cleaned, as they were the day it ; was given her. In the years since j the ring was lost, many things have happened in the Brunson family. The vicissitudes of time have brought about many changes, a family has grown up and gone out to care for themselves. Mr. Brunson has passed away, but the ring remained hidden while no telling how many plows turned it up or how many feet passed over it. Held for Issuing Bad Checks. Deputy Sheriff P. H.
