ready to receive them. They hurried him
out to wagon that stood in waiting, the
old man simply remarking that they ought

hicle he was told that he must die. He
was given five minutes in which to make
confession, but stolidly refused to do so,
saying that as he had already acknowl-

rope was quickly thrown over limb Of
large oak tree, and the doomed man es-

then grasped the rope and the body of
Jacob Melting swayed in the night air.
After the murderer had been pronounced
dead the mob quietly dispersed, and at 2 a.
m. this morning but few people are seen
on the streets.
