A SUSPENSION.


Louisville, Feb. 2l.-The execution Of
George Washington the negro ravisher OF
Francis Attea, a little girl, took place to-
day in the eastern supberbs of the city.
Fully 10000 persons were present, harden
ed women as we'll as men Witnessing it.
The black cap was put around his neck at
ll:3O, the rope at l0:40. Washington, who
had first promised his body to the priests Of
the Catholic church, announced to the
sheriff his desire that it be given to certain
physicians, he asked for his father and
mother. They failed to respond to the call
of their names. At 11:45 the drop fell.
The rope broke short off at the top crowd
yelled and hooted. Washington was picked
up, and the rope being quickly adjusted, an
other moose was made around his neck. AT
l1:54 the trap was again sprung, Washing
ton being unconscious from the fall. AT
l1:55 his pulse beat only 6 to the minute.
At ll:57 it had stopped entirely. He re-
mained hanging till 1903, when he was cut
down, and the body given to the physician.
He died without murmur, and showed no
feeling whatever.
