The officers were then completely
overpowered by the crowd. the prisoner
seized. a rope placed around his neck
and notwithstanding his awful shIleks
and prayers, they dragged him TO a
cluster OF tsees and hung him till dead.
A band Of three hundred men had been
organized to execute the deed. The great
