Lebanon Herald: Shortly after the
hanging of the Brassells, at Cookeville,
some little boys Of this county, who
had heard a great deal Of talk about
the execution, took it into their heads
that it would be fine fun to have a
hanging of their own. A scafold was
erected, the rope adjusted around the
neck of one of their number and he
was swung off in fine style. But for
the interference of a lady who happens

have become tragedy, as the ama>

when she arrived.
