NORFOLK, Va, Feb. g3.-After many te-
dous methods of delay, the brutal crime
committed by Henry Williams, alias Lewis
Hill, colored, was expiatcd on the scaffod
yesterday at the County seat of Ise OF Wight
County, in the presence of an immense CON
course of people, the larger proportion OF
whom were colored representing both sexes.
Miss Margaret A. Stephens, the young
girl on whom Williams perpetrated his
heinous ottense, is the daughter of poor
but respectable widow living near Cory
vile. Va. On Sunday, the 18th Of August
1877 Miss Stephens started to walk the
public highway, from the house Of her
road she passed the saw-mll of Duck &
Johnson, where Henry Williams had been
at work since the Thursday previous. Will
overlook her about mile from the mill and
near the residence of George W. Councille,
and commanded her to stop.
She at once ran but the negro caught
her. After brutally beating her because
she resisted him, he succeeded in accom-
plishing his criminal design and at once
fled. Miss stephens, having raised an
alarm, got out Il warrant, and he was traced
to CAuckatuek, Nanscmond County, where
he was arrested. He spoke of his convic-
ton as right and just, and declared his be-
lief i'll a full pardon Oh lis sins before the
throne Of Almighty God. He confessed his
guilt in criminally assaulting Miss Ste
phens, and urged his hearers to beware Of
the evil effects of bad associates His first
trouble III life was about woman, and his
next waywardncss was in committing an
outrage on o white woman in Matthews
County, Va, for which he was sentenced
to twenty years Imprisonment.
He escaped after one years confinement
and went to Washington and New Jersey
where the worst associates were his most
desirable friends, and he was forever fight
ing and stealing In Elizabeth, n. j., he
received a sentence OF five years imprson-
ment for committing an outrage on col
ored woman named Hagar Smith. After
serving his time out he went to New York
city, and got five months for stealing. He
then left for Virginia, and nearly killed a
man i'll Richmond with a slung-shot about
a woman, and then escaping to Surry Coun-
ty, outraged a colored woman and fled to
the Isle of Wight County. In this county
be outraged q small school girl, and was
undetected, and then committed the crown
ing assault upon Miss Margaret Stephens
for which he was apprehended and con-
demned to die.
Hc urged the parents of children not to
spare the rod, or give their children too
much liberty, or permit them unworthy
associates, and trusting to his feryent hope
in the faith of his recent conversion, closed
his remarks.
The drop fell, and he died. The execu-
ton was set for this particular day by epo
cial request Of the prisoner who desired to
die on Washington's birthday.

punishment for unfaithful officials
Ninth-That hours Of labor be reduced

of capital and labor, secure to the producers
of wealth the results of their labor and
skill, muster out of the service the vast
army of idlers who, under the existing sys-
tenn, grow rich upon the earnings of others
that every man and woman may by their
own efforts secure competence, so that
overgrOwn fortunes and extreme poverty
will be seldUm found within the limits of

Eieyenth-Both National and State Gov
