nes~ The Editor of the Salisbury Banner has
recently been a visit to Concord. He says:
TO Be HtNG.-George p. 1ankford, who
was convicted at Lincoln Court, last spring, of
killing his wife, and who took appeal to the
Supreme Court, which tribunal affirmed the
Judgment, has been sentenced to be hung OIL
Friday, the 25th of the present month. The
murder was committed in Cleaveland county,
and the prisoner moved his trial to Linccln.
We Lankford on bis way from the jail
to the Court room to receive his sentence, and
a more decently looking, handsomely dressed
man we have seldom seen. We learned from
| those who heard the sentence that he received
it without betraying any emotion. In the home
| ly phrase OF one present, ut seemed to hurt
Judge Dick worse to pronounce the sentence than
| it did Larkford to hear it." He protests his
innocence, and we believe will brave death un-
der the gallows-his self esteom being a very pro-
minent feature of his character. The evidence
against him was entirely circumstantial, but
convincing as to leave reasonable doubt of
his guilt. The wife he murdered had borne him
seven children, who will be orphaned under the
most horrible circumst tsnces. Thhe se11lctions
| of the harlot lured him to his ruin.
