" THE HANGING I.AKT F1UDAY. Tho Hlnjrer of Noah IIa mag? H?ffen? Death. Judd Darksdalo's sentence has boen commuted, Perry Gray has been res pited, and Walkor Brown has paid the penalty. Brown was hbnged Friday morning 1* the stable at the Jail. Thursday evening ho wa? received into the A. M. K. Church and on tho morning of the execution, Uov. II. K. Lnwis administerod tho saoramont to blm. He expressed himscit as porfoctly resigned to his tato and confident of salvation. A few minutes boforo going to the gallows he declared bis inuoconce or murder to a roporter and said that if he shot Ramage at all, it was an acci dent." ' It will be remembered that tho killing ooourred as a party of colored people were returning, at 2 o'clook in tho morning, from a fostival hold in tho Holly Grove neighborhood one night last Noyember. The crowd had been play ing cards and Ramage had playod in big luok. It was suggostod that a halt be oallod aud the gamo finished. Ram age|doclinod and Brown forthwith drew his pistol and shot him down. Kamago died in about two wooks. Tho ovldonco was overwhelming and tho jury without hesitation found a verdict or guilty or murder. The hanging was u quiot busiuoss like affair. Tho one hundred and fifty negroes on the street outsido ibo jail observed good order, and ovorythmg was in keeping with tbo calm of tho April day itself. Tho presence of tho I.aureus Guards, who were doployod in squads insido tho jail yard and on streets surrounding, no doubt contrib uted to this admirable state of things. Tho prisonor showod absolutely no fear or omotion. Replying to a question by the sheriff at tho gallows ho remark ed that he had nothing to say. Ho as cend od to tho platform without assist ance and in less than ton in i nut cm from the time of leaving tho jail, his hands were pinioned and the cap adjustod. At 11.05 a. m. the trap was sprung. Death was to all appearances painless and in 16 minutes tho physicians pro nounced lifo extinct. After boing sus pended 14 minutes longor, tho body was out down, placed in its coffin, and turned ovor to relatives. The execution was witnossod by about twenty persons. Tho hanging of a man is not a pleasantovont under any cir cumstances. In this instance tho duty was dono in a manner by which tho re volting features woro romovod to tho furthest possible extent. Tho ofllcors upon whom the law Imposes tho execu tion of tho sontonco porformed their task with that efficiency which in ovory case Should take away all sensational and dograding accompatumonts.

Perry Qrayf the Laurent* negro, who killed John Fuller in Feb ruary and was sentenced to bo hung last Friday was respited Tuesday until the 15th of May. The reason for the respite is to al low timo for tho examination of the petition asking a commutation of Gray's sentence to lifo imprison ment in tho penitentiary. Tho cir cumstances of tho killing have al ready been detailed in theso col umns. One of tho petitions alleges that there had been no quarrel between (he two men, that no malico was provod at the trial and that Gray staled ho did not intend to hit any one, trying only to shoot above their heads. A petition from per sons in Laurens assigns tho fol ow ing grounds for commutation: 1. He was in his own house, and they think believed ho wnsdefond its ponce and order when ho com mitted tho net. 2. He is a very young man, just past, according to tho evidence, his seventeenth year. 3. As they aro advised, ho is very poor, and had no counsel until tho last moment, and by reason of his poverty was utterly friendless.
