James Bilbro. the negro who, up
on a slight prOvocation, murdered
his wife last summer on the farm OF
Mr.. James Smith in this county, was
hanged on Monday last, between 3
and.A O'Clock, by Sheriff Psiestley, a
half mile south of Canton, in the
presence of some $500 spectators, of
whom five-sixths were negroes. ar
Bibro met his fate with calm res
iRnation, aud spoke from the gall
lows, In o clear and unfaltering
voice, for about thirty minutes. He
said he knew that he had but q few
short moments up III this earth, and
he wlntel to tell them all that
be had made his peace with God
and believed that his soul rs going
to heaven. He knew ne was q NAL
efactor, and was ready and willing
TO pay the penalty. If justice were
stood before him would be occupy
ing the same place with himself.
He urged all to he prayerful aud to
teach their children to pray. He
asked all to pray for him until he
was dead and then pray for Them
selsee. He said he forgave all HE
enemies, aud asked that every one
forgive him for what he had done.
He said, with somewhat OF irony in
his voice, he wanted all his friends
10 pray for the district attorney who
might yet get to heaven, should he
change his course. he spoke Of the
district attorneys having character
lied him as murderer and a brute.
He said, eff I sm q brute, thank
God there is room id heaven for all
brutes, and 1 am going there"
At this juncture, a limb of a tree
upon which some boys had climbed
to get better view, began to crack,
and Bilbro turned toward them and
remarked, "Look out there! that
you don't drop before do"
He then asked, in q loud voice, If
any one in the crowd had anything
against him, to speak out or forever
hold their peace, to which a lrOmis
l;uOas response of No, no! went up.
The condemned man then thanked
the Sheriff for his humane and kind
treatment while in Jail, and en-
braeed him as be babe him farewell.
Next be called for aud took leave
Of all his relatives, admonishing
them to avoid his fate. To the dis.
appointment of all, he gave no rea
son for killing his wife, saying that
would remain between him aud his
God. AT his request DIR. TOles de-
hvered an appropriate prayer, after
which BiIbrO asked the time of day,
and being told, said, "Mr. Sheriff,
IL it suits your convenience, 1 am
now ready" and at % minutes to 4
O'Clock the trap was sprung, and he
swung OF into eternity. After hang
ing fifteen minutes he was pro
nounced dead, and the body was
cut down and turned oyer to his
relatives and friends tor burial.
Sheriff Priestley deserves credit
for the manner IN which he per-
formed his unwelcome duty, and
executed tho mandate Of the law.
There was no bungling. no sicken.
ing scenes, such as too frequently
attend public executions.
