THREE CoLoRED Men HANGED AT
DANvILLE For MURDER.
CHATHAM, Va, Sept. 2S.-Sawney
Younger. Reuben King and Isaac Evans,
three young negroes, were hanged here
today for the murder OF Vim. +. SLcp-
pard last month. The execution was
private, only about Is persons witness
ing 1t. lounger's neck was broken, and
the other two died from strangulntion.
All three protested their innocence to
the last. A detachment Of the Pttsyl.
vania Guards acted us On escort and
did guard duty. There was quite a
large crowd in the vicinity Of the place
of execution. but thcrc was no distpr.
bance. Youngcr's body was buried
within the enclosure under the gallows
The bodies of Evans and King were
delivered 10 the physician who bought
them in life time, and will b, taken TO
the Richmond Medical College. With
in the enclosure the son and two broth.
ers of the murdered man had places
and witnessed the execution.
Sheppard had driven load OF vego-
tables to market, and was on his way
homo when the negroes waylaid and
shot him. They had shadowei him in
Danville, and knowing that lie carried
the money obtained from the sale OF
his goods, they had hoped TO secure it.
At the first shot his team became fright
cned and ran of, thus preventing them
from getting the booty. They continu-
ed firing, however, as tho team started,
and one Of the bullets pierced Sheppards
heart.
