Hands Up!
Sr. Lot is, May 10. A special
from Austin, Texas, says: I'assen
oer train No. 502,on the International
and Croat Northern road, was
stopped last niolit at McNeill station,
a few miles North of here, by 15 or
20 robbers, who robbed the express
car. Some fifty shots were fired,
and one man. was sliohtly wounded
in the hand. Another report says
two men were killed. T'ifty mounted
and armed men are leaving her
for McNeill. It is said there were
fifteen in the party. They first raptured
the operator before the arrival
of the train, and as soon as the train
drew in they boarded it, attacking
the onoineer and express messenger
The express was robbed, but the
amount taken was not ascertained.
IV mails were not touched. Passengers
wcra held up, and a eonsid<*rs?I?I<*
amount was taken from them,
oim man losing a eold watch ami

after lu? had received word from j j
( iovornor Ii oss that there was no hope (lJ
for him, I hiker said: tit
"It is not the pain that I four at ',v
all. I have l?eon handed, and I *
know what I am talking about. '''
What ails me is that I don't want
to die, and I don't think I ouoht to.
Probably if you know that in an

artistically done, either. \\ hv, when J.'|
til \ handed ine lirst down here l>v ju
the railroad track, I was seared half th
to death. They had no modern aji- 1,1
jdianees, and I made up my mind
that they were ooino- to oive me a
terrible strnojrle of it, Imt it was
nothing ??f the sort. Vl'he mol>
swniic me oiV from a telegraph pole
like they won id a loo, and then one
or two of them pulhd my leo's.1
That isn't so almighty nice, Imt 1
still it don't hurt as you miohl
think it weuhl. I must have Ituno j
threre ten or fifteen minutes before
flic SherilV and his posse found me
and cut me down. ()f course by
that time I was unconscious, but I
remember enough of what occurred
to banish any fear that i mioht have
of death on the ^allows. It's death
in whatever form it comes that I
object to. IT I have oot to eo I had
just as soon oo by the rope as by j
the bullet, and I had a ?e>od deal
lather oo by the rope than by the ;
knife or by poison. You can say I
this much for the information and
comfort of all the poor fellows who
will have to swine1 when I am ipme. I
Tell tic in to brace up and take it
easy. They are <roiinr to die eas- .

and who exneet to die in their beds.

There has been although too iinteli ('
writing and 'alkino on the subject
of the barbarit \ of the nail lows.

I'm in favor of abolishing capital

Later <?ii, in sneakintr about lii.s *
crime and liis two punishments, one (
by tlic inoli ami the other by llie|,||
law, Ihikersaid: ul mler all the
circumstances my erinie was not
murder, any way. I had become j,
involved in a ouarrel between I n al
rnh and his wife and, loo isli as thai
was, it would liavo led to nolhiiiir
more if I uruli had not attacked me. |,
I had to kill liiin or be killed. The j w
woman swore auainst me in order to '
J *
save herself. She was seared to j
death because they lynched me, and
she was afraid that unless somebody ,
j 11
swune* for the crime she mioht be , j|
called on some dark nio'lit. Ibit | st
whether my crime was dclibeatc
murder or not, I think I have been
punished enough. It is more than a
year since the mob lynched me and
since that time i have lived with a
rope iinf!i"vl my neck all the time. , |
As I have fcu d to you, my sulTerinos
when I was beine* resuscitated were :
I orealer than tliey wore when I was
1 haiioine1. It took me three months j
to ifet over the elfects of the Ivnehr

brain would be in a whirl and I ol
would lose ail control of myself, di
Then when I slept I would on "
thronifh it all aoain. At lenotli, j ^
when I was brought to trial and s?
was eonvieted and sentenced to fi
death I had the rope once more be- ^
fore me. The anxietv about the '(j'
trial and later about my appeals has
worn on me until my nerves are in vl
about as bad a condition as they
were when I was in the hospital at
