tailor to furnish him a suit of clothes for

making The tailor states that three men,
each weighing over two hundred pounds,
put the coat on, buttoned It around them
and walked across the square at Lexlng-
ton. In 1850 it took thirteen and one-half
yards Of flax cloth, yard wide, TO make him

for his shroud; twenty-fOur yards of black
velvet to cover the sides and lid of bis
coffin, one hundred and twenty-five feet Of
plank to make his coffin,
