ALBERT ID. RICHAEp~oN, the CORE
>pondent of the y. y. I.rLuUc who was
SO long a prisoner i'm rebcldom, has
written out his "reminiscences of Libby

From his "reminiscences We extract the
following account of
Az EXECUTION ~ LIHBY.-A loyal
Tcmcsscean, Deatou, had been kept in

quite out of his mind then hc was
taken out to bee hanged.

They then descended and ordered am

curses upon the '-A Hukcr-- -.
called Wiley again to his assistance.

broken tones; 'the -- Yankee will die
