How 1t Feels to be Hanged.

Yesterday several gentlemen were
speaking of capital punishment, when
Mr.. j. L. McNeely, one of the most pros
porous farmers in Pulaski County, re-
marked: Gentlemen, so far as the pun
ishment is concerned, hanging does not
amount to anything. / was hung once
till Twas insensible, and the feeling could
scarcely be called pain" The bystand-
ers thought that he was joking. 81 am
in earnest" he continued. ''In 1865,
Just at the close of the war, robbers came
to my house in search of money. As a
precaution against such visitors l had
given two watches and $500 in gold to q
trusty colored woman to keep for me
until times improved. L was lying in
bed, crippled Several men entered the
room, and, without saying anything, put
a rope around my neck aud began to
pull. | told them that if they were going
to hang me, to wait until / could get my
crutch, so that could walk to the hang
ing place. They took me out on the
gallery, and, throwing the rope over a
cross-beam, asked me for my money. l
told them that had none. They drew
me up. For moment experienced a
slight choking sensation, and then | be-
came insensible. When l became con-
scious, after being taken down, was sit
ting on the steps. The sensations while
regaining consciousness were very much
like those experienced during a night
