O"aeliia Telegraph: Green Rcdding,
tho Colorrd man who was in iail under
sentence of death for the murder of his
wife and who was to have been hanged
to-day week, died in his cell Monday
morning about 2 o'clock. He had been
sick since Tuesday Of fever and dyscn-
terry, receiving treatment front DR.. Muir
ply, but steadily grew worse, dying as
stated, and alone, not arousing the in
mates OF the cell across the narrow hall.
His death is presumed to have been
from disease, since no opportunity is
known to have been afforded for the pro-
curing of poison, although his symp-
toms Indicated somewhat that lie might
have swallowed some such fatal sub
stance as ground glass, which, we are
told by u physician, is rather q favOrite
means of bringing on death with tho
negro. Green's department and CONVEX
sation, however, gave no indication of .
purpose or desire to commit suicide,
further than he dreaded, he said, cxccu-
ton on tho gaIlows.
